Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packaging
material
The cardboard box and packaging
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also the
amount of waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the
equipment. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Therefore, please
do not dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.

Important safety instructions
Warning
In order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries,
persons operating the appliance must adhere to the following
safety precautions:
 It is essential to read the operating instructions before using the
washing machine.
 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The washing machine must be grounded. Connecting the appliance
to ground reduces the danger of electric shock in the event of a
malfunction. The grounding is a protective conductor which provides
a path of least resistance for the current. The washing machine
comes complete with a power cord and plug with the corresponding
protective conductor. The power cord plug must be inserted into a
suitable outlet that has been installed and grounded in compliance
with all applicable local codes.
 WARNING: Incorrect grounding of the appliance will run the risk of
electric shock. In case of doubt, get in touch with a qualified
electrician and arrange to have your cabling inspected.
 Do not replace or make any changes to the plug supplied. If there
is no suitable socket available, a socket must be installed by a
qualified electrician.
 Do not use a damaged washing machine.
 Do not expose the washing machine to outdoor weather
conditions.
 Do not install the washing machine in an area where there is a risk
of freezing conditions. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and the
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing point.
7

Important safety instructions
 Before connecting the washing machine, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load)
match the domestic electricity supply. If in doubt, request the
connection data from a qualified electrician.
 Do not connect the washing machine to the domestic 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).
 The washing machine is not intended for maritime applications or
for use in mobile units such as motor homes or aircraft. However,
installation in such scenarios may be possible under certain
conditions. Get in touch with Miele's Technical Service department
regarding these specific requirements.
 Do not make any changes or repairs on the washing machine if
this is not expressly permitted in these operating instructions.
 Only Miele is permitted to replace a damaged power cord. Miele
service technicians use original power cords from Miele.
 If hot-water systems are not used for longer than two weeks, there
may be a buildup of hydrogen under certain conditions. HYDROGEN
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water systems have not been in use for
longer than two weeks, allow hot water to run from all valves for
several minutes before operating the washing machine. This reduces
the formation of hydrogen. Refrain from smoking and keep away
from naked flames while the water valves are open. The gas will be
flammable during this time.
 Remove the door or destroy the door lock before disposing of the
washing machine.
8

Important safety instructions
Use
 Children are not allowed to play with, on, or inside the washing
machine. If you are operating the washing machine in the presence
of children, the children must be supervised at all times.
 The temperature of the porthole glass becomes very high during
washing. Danger of burning! Refrain from touching the porthole
glass. You must therefore keep children away from the porthole glass
during the wash cycle.
 Only use the washing machine for washing fabrics with a care
label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Other
applications may be dangerous.
 Do not wash any fabrics which have been cleaned, washed, or
soaked with cleaning agents containing solvents (e.g. benzine) or
other flammable substances. These fabrics release vapours which
can ignite or explode. Do not add these kinds of fabric to a load of
washing.
 Do not use any solvents or other flammable substances or
explosive materials in the washing machine. These materials can
release vapours which can ignite or explode.
 Never use solvent based cleaning agents on or in the washing
machine. Surfaces are damaged on contact with cleaning agents.
 Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Do not touch the drum whilst it is still rotating.
 Do not make any alterations to the machine.
KEEP THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE
PLACE

Important safety instructions
 Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. A Miele washer-dryer connection kit is
required as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the
washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer
and the Miele washing machine.
 If installing the machine on a Miele plinth (available as an optional
accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this
washing machine.
 Should detergent enter the eyes, rinse out immediately with plenty
of lukewarm water. If accidentally ingested, seek medical advice
immediately. People who have sustained damage to the skin or who
have sensitive skin should avoid contact with the detergent.
 Be careful when opening the door following use of 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. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.
 The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6 lb (8 kg). See the
“Program chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programs.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized
with the grid power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an
equivalent local standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for
example, in the current version of VDE-AR-E 2510-2 or an equivalent
local standard.

hardness yourself using the enclosed
test strip. Alternatively, your local water
authority will be able to tell you the
hardness of water in your area.
Dip the test strip in the water for
approx. 1second. Shake excess
water off the test strip.
After approx. 1minute, and based on
the coloration, you will be able to read
the water hardness from the table
below.
