Read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first
time. They contain important infor-
mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Correct usage
Only use the machine to wash
items which are specified by the
manufacturer to be machine-washable
on the wash-care label and textiles
composed of hand-washable wool or
wool blend fabrics as well as satin,
lace, silk and other hand-washable gar-
ments.
Any other applications may be danger-
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
This machine should not be oper-
ated by children. Supervise its use
by the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install and use a dam-
aged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ma-
chine and an effective earthing system
which complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is regularly
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-
foreseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept re-
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele approved
engineer.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
The 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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, or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Warning and safety instructions

The best materials are used in the
manufacture of this machine, and
every care is taken to check all parts.
However, with time, deterioration of
parts can occur, especially with such
components as hoses, giving rise to
leaks. This should be borne in mind if
operating the machine without supervi-
sion. Check the hoses regularly for
signs of wear, and change in good
time, to avoid leaks and subsequent
damage.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appli-
ance 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 guarantee.
Use
Do not install the machine in rooms
where temperatures below freezing
may occur. Frozen hoses may burst un-
der pressure.The reliability of the elec-
tronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit fit-
ting at the rear of the machine has been
removed (see section on "Installation").
During spinning, a transit fitting which is
still in place may result in damage to
both the machine and adjacent furni-
ture or appliances.
Avoid contact of stainless steel sur-
faces (front, lid, casing) with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which
contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a
corrosive effect on stainless steel. Ag-
gressive vapours containing chlorine
bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers of these agents
near the machine.
Turn off the stopcock if the ma-
chine 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. Other-
wise this will result in flooding.
Take care to ensure that foreign ob-
jects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) do not find their way into the ma-
chine with the washing. These may
damage components of the machine
(e.g. suds container, drum), which in
turn can result in damage to the wash-
ing.
Warning and safety instructions

If the correct amount of detergent
is dispensed, the machine should
not need to be descaled. If, however,
you do wish to descale the machine
only use proprietary non-corrosive
descaling agents and strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based clean-
ing agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such deter-
gents also pose a fire and explosion
hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a washing machine. Always ob-
serve the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
Colour run and dye removers may
contain sulphur compounds which
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
If washing at very high tempera-
tures remember that the porthole
glass will be hot . Do not let children
touch it during a hot wash programme.
Always make sure the drum is sta-
tionary before reaching in to re-
move washing. Reaching into a moving
drum is extremely dangerous.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-
formance and product liability claims
may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-
pliance to prevent misuse. This should
be done by a competent person.
Warning and safety instructions

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
dealer, your local waste collection cen-
tre or scrap merchant about potential
recycling schemes.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate ad-
vice in the "Warning and safety instruc-
tions".
Economy tips
To help you wash most economically,
remember the following tips:
–Always wash with the maximum laun-
dry load specified for each
programme. This uses the energy to
the best advantage.
–Only use the correct amount of deter-
gent required as recommended by
the manufacturer on the detergent
package.
–If laundry is not heavily soiled, select
a lower temperature setting than indi-
cated on the laundry care label. Use
the "Short" programme for laundry
that just needs freshening up, or is
only very lightly soiled.

Brief instructions
For brief instructions follows steps
(A,B,C,...).
Before washing
Aort the laundry.
^Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam-
age to garments and components in
the machine.
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the laun-
dry by care label symbols. See "Textile
care symbols" for an explanation of the
symbols.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufac-
turer as non-washable on the care la-
bel. (hsymbol)
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately sev-
eral times before being included in a
mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-
arately in a delicates programme (use a
washing bag where appropriate).
^Pre-treating the washing.
Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter-
gent or detergent mixed into a solution
or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your dry cleaner for advice.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning
agents in this machine.
– With curtains:
Remove lead weights and strips or
place in a laundry bag.

All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are suit-
able, including liquid, compact (con-
centrated), and special application de-
tergents.
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these
are supplied with the detergent.
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures should be washed using a de-
tergent specifically designed for wash-
ing woollens.
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts are given on the detergent
packaging.
The right amount to dispense will de-
pend on the following:
– The quantity of laundry
– The soiling level of the laundry
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight

It is important to dispense the
correct amount, because...
...too little detergent results in:
– Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
– Greasy particles clinging to the laun-
dry.
–Limescale building up on heater
elements.
...too much detergent results in:
–Excessive foam.
–Low level of agitation.
–Poor wash, rinse and spin results.
–A burden to the environment.

Adding detergent
^Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and add detergent, fabric
conditioner and starch to the correct
compartment as follows:
i= Detergent for the pre-wash
(if this option has been
selected)
j= Detergent for the main wash
p= Fabric conditioner, texturisers
or liquid starch
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in water
hardness ranges II - IV. Dispense ac-
cording to the amount specified on the
packaging. First add detergent and
then the water softener. Dispense the
detergent as required for soft water.
Washing with several
components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
dispense the agents into compartment
jin the following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain removers
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
