Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect

the appliance 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 manufactur-

ing process and also reduces the

amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances of-

ten contain valuable materials. They

also contain specific materials, com-

pounds and components, which were

essential for their correct function and

safety. These could be hazardous to hu-

man 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 com-

munity waste collection / recycling

centre for electrical and electronic ap-

pliances, or contact your dealer or

Miele for advice. You are also respons-

ible for deleting any personal data that

may be stored on the appliance being

disposed of. Please ensure that your

old appliance poses no risk to children

while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and safety instructions

This washing machine complies with all current local and national

safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-

sonal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing

machine. They contain important information on safety, installa-

tion, use and maintenance. 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 the

chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety in-

structions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance

with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them

on to any future owner.

When instructing other people how to use the washing machine,

they must be made aware of these safety and warning instruc-

tions.

Appropriate use

 The washing machine is only suitable for washing fabrics with a

care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any

other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be

held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or

operation of the machine.

 This washing machine must be used as described in the operating

instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it

is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when ne-

cessary.

Warning and safety instructions

 The washing machine is not suitable for outdoor use.

 This washing machine may also be operated in public areas.

 This washing machine can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or

knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown

how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-

sequences of incorrect operation.

 Children under the age of 8 must not be allowed near the washing

machine unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children over the age of 8 may only use the washing machine

without supervision if its operation has been clearly explained to

them and they are able to use it safely. Children must be able to un-

derstand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect

operation.

 Children may not carry out cleaning or maintenance on the wash-

ing machine unsupervised.

 Always supervise any children in the vicinity of the washing ma-

chine. Never allow children to play with the washing machine.

Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

 Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally

visible damage. Do not set up or use a damaged washing machine.

 The electrical safety of the washing machine can only be guaran-

teed when correctly earthed.

It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and

in case of any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected

by a qualified electrician.

Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system.

 Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the

user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs

should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician,

otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the war-

ranty.

 Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to

do so by Miele.

 The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when

cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault:

- switch off at the wall and disconnect the plug from the socket, or

- disconnect the fuse at the mains circuit board, or

- unscrew the on-site screw-in fuse.

See “Installation – Electrical connection”.

Warning and safety instructions

 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from

danger.

 The washing machine must only be connected to the on-site wa-

ter supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.

Check the hose regularly for signs of wear. Replace it in good time to

avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-

ginal spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of

the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.

 For reasons of safety, do not connect the machine to the mains

electricity supply by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter, or sim-

ilar. These can overheat and are a fire hazard.

 In the case of commercial use, all relevant national provisions and

regulations (DGUV in Germany) relating to accident insurance are ap-

plicable to this machine. It is recommended to carry out testing in

accordance with national regulations (e.g. the regulatory framework

described in DGUV100-500/Chapter 2.6/Section 4). The test book

required for the documentation is available from Miele.

 The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

 Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical

data”.

 If the washing machine is equipped with an electrical plug con-

nection, it must be easily accessible after installation so that the ma-

chine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.

Warning and safety instructions

 If the appliance is hard wired, an on-site all pole circuit breaker

must always be accessible to disconnect the washing machine from

the mains.

 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-

ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with

the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is

possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-

tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent

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

synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must

be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,

for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO

45001.

 While the washing machine is under warranty, repairs should only

be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise

the warranty will be invalidated.

Correct use

 The maximum dry laundry weight is 7.0kg. The maximum recom-

mended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme

chart.

 Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperat-

ures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The

reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperat-

ures below freezing point.

 Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit

bars at the rear of the washing machine have been removed (see “In-

stallation – Removing transit bars”). During spinning, transit bars

which are still in place may result in damage to both the machine

and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Warning and safety instructions

 Close the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of

time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully)

in the immediate vicinity.

 Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin,

check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink

from overflowing. Hook the hose over the edge and secure. If the

hose is unsecured, the force of the water flowing out of it can dis-

lodge it from the basin.

 Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, pa-

per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.

These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds con-

tainer, drum). Damaged components can damage the laundry.

 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 special non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly ob-

serve the instructions on the packaging. Special descaling agent is

available from your Miele dealer or from Miele Service. Strictly ob-

serve the instructions for the descaling agent.

 For textiles that have been treated with solvent-based detergents,

always check whether they can be washed in a washing machine. To

check whether this is possible, refer to safety notes, information con-

cerning the product's environmental properties, and other informa-

tion.

 Never use solvent based detergents, e.g. those containing ben-

zine, in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to component

parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion.

 Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not

be stored or used near the machine. Risk of fire and explosion

 Only use dyes suitable for use in a washing machine. Always ob-

serve the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Warning and safety instructions

 Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which

can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in

this washing machine.

 Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing)

and liquid detergents or disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or

sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on

stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be

corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the ma-

chine.

 Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the washing ma-

chine.

 It is particularly important to observe manufacturer's instructions

when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application

products. Products must only be used for applications approved by

the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of

strong chemical reactions.

 If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out imme-

diately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has accidentally

been ingested, seek medical advice immediately. People with dam-

aged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with detergent.

 When adding or removing laundry during the main wash, your skin

may come into contact with detergent, particularly if the detergent is

dispensed externally. Take care when placing your hands inside the

drum. If suds have come into contact with the skin, rinse off immedi-

ately with lukewarm water.

Warning and safety instructions

Accessories

 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-

ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

 Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed

as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele washer-dryer stacking

kit which can be purchased separately. 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.

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for 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.

Emptying the drum

A swivel elbow for the drain hose and/

or assembly material may be stored in

the drum.

 Pull open the door.

 Remove the swivel elbow and as-

sembly material.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.

This washing machine has undergone

a complete functional test at the fact-

ory. Some residual water will therefore

remain in the drum from this process.

Before using for the first time

Running the first wash pro-

gramme

For safety reasons, spinning is not pos-

sible until the machine has been pre-

pared for use for the first time. To activ-

ate the spinning function, you must run

a wash programme without laundry and

without detergent.

Using detergent could result in an ex-

cessive build-up of foam!

 Open the stopcock.

 Turn the programme selector to the

Cottons position.

The washing machine is now switched

on and the temperature 60°C lights up

in the control field.

 Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor

control.

The wash programme starts and the

symbol lights up in the control field.

After 10minutes, the indicators dim

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

- To get the most out of your machine,

load the maximum dry load size for

the wash programme you are using.

This will keep the energy and water

consumption to a minimum in relation

to the size of the load.

- Programmes that are more efficient

with regard to energy and water con-

sumption generally have a longer run-

ning time. By extending the pro-

gramme running time, the wash tem-

perature that is actually reached can

be reduced while still providing the

same wash results.

For example, the ECO40-60 pro-

gramme has a longer running time

than the Cottons40°C or 60°C pro-

gramme. The ECO40-60 programme

is more efficient in terms of energy

and water consumption.

- Use the Express programme for

small, lightly soiled loads.

- Modern detergents make it possible

to wash laundry at lower temperat-

ures (e.g. 20°C). Using lower temper-

ature settings will save energy.

- To maintain the hygiene of the wash-

ing machine, carry out a hot wash

above 60°C at regular intervals. The

washing machine’s indicator light

will come on to remind you to carry

out a hot wash.

Detergent

- Do not exceed the amounts of deter-

gent recommended by the manufac-

turer on the packaging.

- Adjust the dosage to the degree of

soiling of the laundry.

- Reduce the amount of detergent with

smaller loads (approx. ⅓ less than

the amount recommended can be

used when washing a half load).

Information about subsequent

tumble drying

The spin speed selected affects the re-

sidual moisture in the laundry and the

sound emissions of the washing ma-

chine.

The higher the spin speed, the lower

the residual moisture in the laundry.

However, the sound emissions of the

washing machine will increase.

Select the highest possible spin speed

for the wash programme to save energy

in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.

1. Preparing the laundry

Emptying pockets

 Empty all pockets.

 Damage due to foreign objects.

Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on

can cause damage to garments and

components in the machine.

Check the laundry before washing

and remove any foreign objects.

Sorting the laundry

 Sort the laundry according to colour

and the garment care label.

Pre-treating stains

 Badly soiled areas and stains should

be cleaned as soon as possible.

Spillages should be carefully dabbed

off using a soft, colourfast cloth.

 Damage due to solvent-based

detergents.

Detergents containing benzine, stain

remover, etc., can damage plastic

parts.

When pre-treating textiles, make sure

that any plastic parts do not come

into contact with the detergent.

 Risk of explosion due to solvent-

based detergents.

When using solvent-based deter-

gents, an explosive mixture may de-

velop.

Never use solvent-based detergents

in the washing machine.

General tips

- Do not machine wash items which

are specified by the manufacturer as

not washable on the care label ().

- Curtains: remove rollers and lead

weights or place in a laundry bag.

- Sew in or remove any loose underwir-

ing in bras.

- Turn garments inside out, if recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

- Zip up or close any jackets with Vel-

cro or hook and eye fastenings before

washing.

- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases

to prevent small items from becoming

rolled up inside them.

- Please refer to the Programme chart

for more tips and tricks.

2. Loading the washing machine

Opening the door

 Reach under the door grip and pull

the door open.

Check the drum for foreign objects

before loading it with laundry.

 Unfold the laundry and load loosely

into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives

better wash results and also helps to

distribute the load evenly during spin-

ning.

The most efficient use of energy and

water is achieved when a full load is

washed. However, do not overload as

this reduces cleaning efficiency and

causes creasing.

Closing the door

 Make sure that no items are caught

between the door and the seal.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.

3. Selecting a programme and settings

Selecting a programme

The washing machine is switched on by

turning the programme selector to a

4. Adding detergent

Detergent drawer

You can use any detergent that is suit-

able for washing machines.

Detergent dispensing

Please follow the detergent manufac-

turer's instructions in relation to

dosage.

Adding too much detergent will lead

to excessive foaming.

Avoid adding excess detergent.

The amount to dispense will depend on:

- the amount of laundry

- the amount of soiling in the laundry

- the water hardness

Problem solving guide

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause and remedy

Liquid detergent does

not give the required

result.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching

agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee, and tea

stains.

 Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-

ing a bleaching agent.

 Pour stain removers into the  drawer in the dis-

penser compartment and liquid detergent into a

dispenser ball.

 Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to-

gether in the dispenser drawer.

White residues which

look like powder deter-

gent are seen on dark

textiles after washing.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid

water softening which are not soluble in water. These

have ended up on the laundry.

 Try to brush off the residues with a soft brush once

the laundry is dry.

 In future, wash dark textiles using a detergent

which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usu-

ally contain no zeolites.

Textiles with particularly

greasy soiling are not

properly clean.

 Select a programme with pre-wash. Use liquid de-

tergent for the pre-wash.

 Continue to use universal powder detergent for the

main wash.

The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in

the main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing.

Please seek advice from the detergent manufacturer.

Grey, greasy particles

cling to washed laundry.

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The

laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils, oint-

ments).

 Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with

this type of soiled laundry.

 Before washing the next load, run a 60°C pro-

gramme with liquid detergent but without a load.

Problem solving guide

General problems

Problem Cause and remedy

The machine shakes

during the spin cycle.

The machine feet are not level and not secured.

 Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.

Strange pump noises

can be heard.

This is not a fault. These slurping noises occur at

the start and end of a pump sequence as a normal

part of the operation.

Large amounts of deter-

gent residue remain in

the detergent dispenser

drawer.

The water pressure is too low.

 Clean the filters in the water inlet.

Powder detergent used in conjunction with water

softeners tends to become sticky.

 Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and, in fu-

ture, add detergent into the drawer first, and then

add the water softener.

Fabric softener is not

completely dispensed

or too much water re-

mains in the com-

partment.

The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is

clogged.

 Clean the siphon, see “Cleaning and care – Clean-

ing the detergent dispenser compartment”.

The laundry has not

been spun properly. The

laundry is still wet.

The machine detected a high level of imbalance dur-

ing the final spin and reduced the spin speed auto-

matically.

 Include both large and small items in the load as

this will achieve better distribution.

There is still liquid in the

capsule at the end of

the programme.

There is a blockage in the small pipe in the deter-

gent drawer onto which the capsule is placed.

 Clean the small pipe.

Not a fault!

For technical reasons, a small amount of water will

remain in the capsule.

Problem solving guide

General problems with the washing machine

Problem Cause and remedy

There is water next to

the capsule in the fabric

conditioner compart-

ment.

The CapDosing sensor control was not activated or

an empty capsule was not removed at the end of the

last wash programme.

 Activate the CapDosing sensor control when a

capsule is next used.

 Remove and dispose of the empty capsule at the

end of each programme.

There is a blockage in the small pipe in the detergent

drawer onto which the capsule is placed.

 Clean the small pipe.

The door will not open

Problem Cause and remedy

The door cannot be

pulled open during a

wash cycle.

The door is locked during the wash cycle.

 Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor control to can-

cel the programme.

The programme is cancelled, the door will unlock and

you will be able to pull it open.

There is still water in the drum and the washing ma-

chine is unable to drain.

 Clean the drain filter and drain pump as described

in “Problem solving guide – Opening the door in

the event of a blocked drain outlet and/or power

failure”.

After the programme is

cancelled, flashing bars

......... appear

in the time display.

For safety reasons the drum door cannot be opened

if the suds temperature is higher than 55°C.

 Wait until the temperature in the drum has de-

creased and the bars have stopped flashing in the

display.

 and  alternately ap-

pear in the time display.

The door lock has jammed.

 Call the Service Department.

Problem solving guide

Opening the door in the event

of a blocked drain outlet and/

or power cut

 Risk of electric shock.

Only ever perform cleaning and

maintenance work when the appli-

ance is disconnected from the

power.

Disconnect the washing machine

from the mains electricity supply.

 Open the access panel to the drain

system.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, there may

be a large quantity of water (max. 30l)

left behind in the washing machine.

 Risk of scalding due to hot suds.

Escaping suds will be hot if laundry

has been washed at high temperat-

ures.

Carefully allow all suds to drain off.

Emptying the drum

....For machines with a drain pump

 Place a suitable container under the

access flap.

Remove the drain filter, though not

completely.

 Slowly unscrew the drain filter to let

the water out.

Transporting the washing ma-

chine to its installation site

 Danger of injury from incorrect

transport.

If the washing machine tips up there

is a danger of injury to people and

damage to property.

Make sure the washing machine is

stable during transportation.

Transporting the washing machine

with a sack truck

 If transporting the washing machine

with a sack truck, make sure its left or

right side is resting on the truck.

 Risk of damage from incorrect

transport.

The front or back of the washing ma-

chine may be damaged if the ma-

chine is transported with a sack

truck.

Always insert the sack truck under

one of the sides of the washing ma-

chine.

Transporting the washing machine to

its installation site

The protruding lid at the back can be

used to hold the machine when trans-

porting.

 Danger of injury due to unsecure

lid.

The fixings at the back of the lid

could break as a result of external

forces. There is a danger of the lid

being pulled off when carrying the

machine.

Before carrying the machine, check

that the lid is secure where it pro-

trudes at the back of the machine.

 Carry the washing machine by the

front feet and by the lid where it pro-

trudes at the back of the appliance.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable in-

stallation surface, being far less prone

to vibration during the spin cycle than

wooden floorboards or a carpeted sur-

face.

 The machine must be level and se-

curely positioned.

 To avoid vibrations during spinning,

the machine should not be installed

on soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor:

 Install the machine on a plywood

base (at least 70x60x3cm). The

base should span several joists and

be bolted to the joists and not only to

the floorboards.

Tip: If possible, install the machine in a

corner of the room. This is usually the

most stable part of the floor.

Removing the transit bars

Removing the left-hand transit bar

 Push the cover out and turn the left-

hand transit bar 90° using the span-

ner supplied.

 Withdraw the transit bar.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Tip: The bars will slide in more easily if

you lift the drum slightly.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Levelling the washing machine

The washing machine must stand per-

fectly level on all four feet to ensure

safe and proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increase elec-

tric and water consumption and may

cause the machine to move about.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

The 4 adjustable screw feet are used for

levelling the washing machine. The ma-

chine is supplied with all four feet

screwed in.

 Using the spanner supplied, turn

counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.

chine moving about if the feet are not

secured.

Turn all 4 counter nuts for the feet

until they sit firmly up against the

housing. Please also check this for

the feet which did not need adjust-

ment.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Holding bracket for plinth

The holding bracket prevents the wash-

ing machine from falling off the plinth

during operation.

Fastening with the holding bracket is

only intended for plinths made from

concrete. The plinth must be flat and

level. The surface below the plinth must

be able to withstand the physical loads.

Prior to installation, check whether the

plinth complies with the minimum di-

mensions.

Height: 6cm

Width: 60cm

Depth: 65cm

Positioning the holding bracket

 Risk of injury from sharp edges.

The holding bracket has sharp

edges. You could cut yourself on the

edges.

Take care when handling the holding

bracket.

Wear gloves while installing the hold-

ing bracket.

The front appliance feet must protrude

by at least 3mm. The washing ma-

chine must already be aligned (see

“Installation – Aligning the washing

machine”)

 Place the holding bracket on the front

appliance feet.

 Mark the position of the front edge of

the holding bracket with a pencil.

 Remove the holding bracket from the

feet.

 Carefully move the washing machine

until you have enough space to install

the holding bracket.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Installing the holding bracket

 Place the holding bracket on the

marking on the plinth.

 In the middle of the two outer slotted

holes, mark a point for each drill hole.

 Drill 2holes (8mm) with a depth of

approx. 55mm.

 Insert the plugs in the holes.

 Install the holding bracket with the

hexagon screws and the washers.

Do not tighten the screws yet – this

will allow the holding bracket to be

moved sideways.

Securing the washing machine with

the holding bracket

 Push the washing machine back on

to the installed holding bracket.

 Insert the appliance feet (the part

between the foot and the locknut)

into the openings in the holding

bracket.

 Push the holding bracket to the right

as far as it will go.

 Tighten the hexagon screws using a

spanner.

The washing machine is secured in the

holding bracket.

Installing under a continuous work-

top

 Risk of electric shock due to ex-

posed cables

There is a risk of coming into contact

with live parts while the lid is re-

moved.

Do not remove the washing machine

lid.

This washing machine (with lid intact)

can be pushed under a countertop if

there is space to do so.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Water connection

Cold water connection

The washing machine should be con-

nected to a mains water supply in ac-

cordance with current local and national

safety regulations. The German author-

ities do not require it to have a non-re-

turn valve as the washing machine has

been designed to comply with DIN reg-

ulations.

In the U.K. both the hot and cold wa-

ter supplies must be connected to

the mains water connection with the

provided double check valve. Hot

water temperature must not exceed

60 °C.

The flow pressure must amount to a

minimum of 100kPa and must not ex-

ceed 1000kPa. If the pressure exceeds

1000kPa, a pressure reducing valve

must be installed.

For the connection, a stopcock with a

¾" screw thread is required. If this type

of stopcock is not available, only a

qualified installer may connect the

washing machine to the mains water

supply.

The connection point is subject to

mains water pressure.

Turn on the stopcock slowly and

check for leaks. Correct the position

of the washer and screw thread if ap-

propriate.

The inlet hose for cold water is not

suitable for connection to a hot water

supply.

Maintenance

Only use genuine Miele hoses that have

been tested to withstand pressure of at

least 7000kPa should you ever need a

replacement.

A filter is located in the open end of

the inlet hose and another in the in-

take point to protect the water inlet

valve.

Neither filter may be removed.

Hose extension

Longer hoses of 2.5m or 4.0m in

length are available from Miele or from

your Miele dealer as accessories.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Drainage

Drain pump

The suds are drained through a drain

pump with a 1m delivery head. For the

water to drain freely, the hose must be

free of kinks. The elbow piece (access-

ory) can be hooked onto the end of the

hose.

Drainage options

1. Connected securely to a plastic drain

pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no

need to use a siphon).

2. Connected securely to a washbasin

with a plastic nipple.

3. Connected securely to a floor drain

(gully).

If required, the hose can be extended to

a length of up to 5m. Accessories are

available from Miele or from your Miele

dealer.

For a drain height of more than 1m (up

to a max. of 1.6m), a replacement drain

pump is available from Miele or from

your Miele dealer.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Electrical connection

This description applies to washing

machines both with and without a

mains plug.

The following applies to washing ma-

chines with a mains plug:

- The washing machine is ready to be

connected.

- The electrical socket must be easily

accessible after installation so that

the machine can be disconnected

from the electricity supply if neces-

sary.

 Damage caused by incorrect

supply voltage.

The data plate indicates the nominal

power consumption and the appro-

priate fuse rating.

Compare the specifications on the

data plate with those of the mains

electricity supply and make sure that

they match.

The washing machine may only be con-

nected to a permanent electrical system

that conforms to the national and local

codes and regulations.

Do not connect the machine to an ex-

tension lead or multi-socket adapter as

they do not guarantee the required

safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of

overheating).

If the machine is hard wired, an all pole

circuit breaker must be provided on-

site. When switched off there must be

an all-pole contact gap of at least 3mm

in the isolator switch (including mini-

ature circuit breaker, switch, fuses and

relays according to IEC/EN60947). This

connection process must be performed

by a qualified electrician.

The plug connector or isolator switch

should be easily accessible at all times.

 Risk of electric shock.

If the washing machine is disconnec-

ted from the mains, protective meas-

ures must be taken to ensure that the

point of disconnection cannot acci-

dentally be switched on again.

Make sure the isolator is lockable or

the point of disconnection is mon-

itored at all times.

New connections, modifications to the

system, or servicing of the earthing

conductor, including determining the

correct fuse amperage, must be carried

out by a qualified electrician, as they

are familiar with the pertinent regula-

tions and the specific requirements of

the electric utility company.
