Caring for the environment
6
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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 valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
This washing machine complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to
personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing
machine. They contain important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the washing machine.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 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.
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 “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.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems”.
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in
this Miele product must also be assured in their function and
operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
 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 must not
exceed 1000kPa.
 This washing machine must not be installed and operated in
mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
 This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only
be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a qualified electrician or a Miele authorised technician.
This washing machine contains 1 light source corresponding to
energy efficiency rating G.

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
- 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 laundry washtub, check that the
water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the laundry tub 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 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.
 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 9.0 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 shop.miele.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.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
 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 and spare parts
 Only use original Miele accessories and spare parts. If other parts
are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be
invalidated.
 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 will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your washing machine.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Miele@home
Your washing machine is equipped
with an integrated Wi-Fi module.
In order to use it you need:
- a Wi-Fi network
- the Miele@mobile App
- a Miele user account. The user
account can be created via the
Miele@mobile App.
The Miele@mobile App will guide you
as you connect your washing machine
to your home Wi-Fi network.
Once your washing machine is
connected to your Wi-Fi network, you
can use the App, for example, to carry
out the following activities:
- Operate your washing machine
remotely
- Access information about the
operating status of your washing
machine
- Access information about a
programme sequence on your
washing machine
Connecting your washing machine to
your Wi-Fi network will increase energy
consumption, even when the washing
machine is switched off.
Before installing the washing
machine in its final location, ensure
the signal strength is sufficient for
your Wi-Fi network.
Availability of the Wi-Fi connection
The Wi-Fi connection shares a
frequency range with other appliances
(including microwave ovens and remote
control toys). This may result in
sporadic or even complete connection
failures. Therefore, a constant
availability of featured functions cannot
be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele App
depends on the availability of the
Miele@home service in your country.
The Miele@home service is not
available in every country.
For information about availability,
please visit www.miele.com.
Miele App
You can download the Miele App from
the Apple App Store® or the Google
Play Store™ free of charge (only
functional in selected countries).
