Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the washing machine from damage
during transportation. The packaging
materials used are selected from
materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and should be
recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
This washing machine complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine, please
read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time.
They contain important information on its safety, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.
Correct application
 This washing machine is designed for domestic use and for use in
similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
 The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
 It must only be used to wash garments which have been declared
suitable for washing by the manufacturer indicated on the garment
care label. Any other use is not permitted. Miele cannot be held
liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.
 This washing machine is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Safety with children
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
 Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and do not let them play with it.
Technical safety
 Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
 Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
 Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the
connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and
frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system which complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
 Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity
supply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to
the risk of overheating).
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
Miele replacement parts are used.
 The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so
that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if
necessary.
 Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
 If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing
machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
 The Miele Waterproof system protects from water damage
provided the following conditions have been met:
– The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
– If a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must be
examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired
if necessary.
 The water flow pressure must be at least 100kPa and should not
exceed 1000kPa.
 This washing machine must not be installed and operated in
mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the machine warranty.
 Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk
of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.
 Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation
and connection - Removing the transit bars"). During spinning, a
transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the
machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
 Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time
(e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the
immediate vicinity.
 Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can
drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Make
sure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowing
out of the hose does not dislodge it.
 Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins,
paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds
container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam
function. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and
the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the
porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the
steam has dissipated.
 The maximum load for this washing machine is 8 kg (dry weight).
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads
for individual programmes.
 If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.
Miele recommends using Miele descaler for washing machines
which is available to order online at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country) or from Miele. Strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging.
 Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
 Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component
parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
 Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, to clean the external surfaces of the machine. They can
cause damage to plastic surfaces.
 Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in
this machine.
 If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them
thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek
medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for
reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid
their skin coming into contact with detergent.
Accessories
 Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
 A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

The washing machine has an integrated
detergent dispensing unit.
The detergent dispensing unit can be
used with
1. the Miele 2 Phase System
or
2. any other liquid detergent and/or
fabric softener
The Miele 2 Phase System
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base
detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a
detergent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). In
order to achieve optimum results, the
agents are dispensed separately during
the wash process. The 2 Phase System
cleans both white and coloured textiles
thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and
UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are
available to order from Miele or via the
internet at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country).
Liquid detergent/Fabric softener
Refillable TwinDos containers are
required for liquid detergent and/or
fabric softener. These are available to
order from Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com (see end of this
booklet for details).
How TwinDos works
Automatic detergent dispensing for a
wash cycle is activated via the Dos 
sensor.
To use the TwinDos function, you need
to specify the following information for
the electronic unit:
1. The detergent type and/or fabric
softener with which the containers
are filled.
2. The dosage amount of the liquid
detergent and/or fabric softener. The
dosage amount for Miele products is
preset at the factory.
Do not fill the containers with any
specialist detergents. Use cap
dosing or the detergent dispenser
drawer for these.
Automatic dispensing cannot be
selected with some programmes,
depending on the detergent present in
the TwinDos system. For example,
automatic dispensing cannot be
activated for the Woollens programme if
the Miele 2 Phase System is being
used. This prevents woollen garments
being damaged by a detergent which is
not suitable for washing wool.

TwinDos

Inserting detergent cartridges
The detergent cartridges are the
components of the Miele 2 Phase
System which consists of:
1. UltraPhase 1 (base detergent)
2. UltraPhase 2 (detergent enhancer)
These detergent cartridges are for
single use only. Replacement
detergent cartridges are available to
order from Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com (see end of this
booklet for details). Empty cartridges
should be disposed of via your local
recycling system.
Remove the stoppers from the
detergent cartridges.
Press the TwinDos access panel.
The panel will spring open.
Open the panel.
