Environmentally friendly washing
18
Energy and water consumption
- Make use of the maximum load that
the wash program can
accommodate.
This will keep the energy and water
consumption to a minimum in relation
to the size of the load.
- When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the washing machine’s
automatic load control system will
reduce the amount of water and
energy used.
- Use the Express program for small,
lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures. Using
the corresponding temperature
settings will save energy.
- Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odors to build up in the
washing machine. Miele therefore
recommends cleaning the washing
machine once every month.
When the indicator light lights up
on the control field and appears on
the time display, the washing
machine must be cleaned.
Detergent consumption
- Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended on the
packaging.
- Adjust the dosage to the level 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).
- Only use highly efficient detergent
with the following label:
When drying with a tumble
dryer
Select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash program to save energy in
the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
1. Prepare the laundry
19
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 such foreign
objects.
Sort the laundry
Only wash items that are labeled
machine washable by the manufacturer.
Most garments have a fabric care label
in the collar or side seam.
Sort the laundry by care label and
color.
Tip: Dark fabrics often bleed the first
few times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed load.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably while still fresh. Stains
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft cloth. Do not rub!
Tip: Stains (such as blood, egg, coffee,
and tea) can be pre-treated using some
handy tricks which can be found in the
Miele guide to laundry care. Please
contact Miele directly or submit a
request via Internet page to obtain or
view a copy of this manual.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating a stain, make sure
that plastic parts do not come into
contact with cleaning agents.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
When using solvent-based cleaning
agents, an explosive mixture may
develop.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.
General tips
- Curtains: Remove any lead weights
or strips before washing.
- Loose bra underwires should be
removed or sewn in place before
washing.
- Close zippers, hooks and eyelets
before washing.
- Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened to prevent small
items from rolling inside of them.
Do not wash items with the
symbol on the fabric care label.

appears on the time display.
Once the program has started, the
washing machine can be operated with
the Miele app.
3. Loading the washing machine
21
Opening the door
Take hold of the door and pull it
open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with
laundry.
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.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in
the drum.
Mixing both large and small items
gives better wash results and also
helps distribute the load evenly during
spinning.
Tip: Please note the maximum load for
different wash programs.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
4. Selecting program settings
22

The temperatures reached inside the
washing machine might not be the
same as the temperatures selected.
Perfect wash results are achieved
through a combination of energy use
and wash duration.
Touch the sensor button for the
temperature desired. It will then light
up brightly.
Touch the sensor button for the spin
speed desired. It will then light up
brightly.
Selecting extra options

available for the wash program lights
up dimly.
Touch the sensor button for the
required extra option. It will then light
up brightly.
Tip: You can select multiple extra
options for a wash program.
Please refer to “Extra options” for
more information.
Switching on Delay Start/
SmartStart
The start of the program can be
delayed from 30minutes up to
24hours. This allows you to make use
of night-time economy electricity rates,
for example (see “Delay Start/
SmartStart”).
5. Add detergent
23
Detergent dispenser drawer
This washing machine requires high
efficiency detergent. Adhere strictly to
the dispensing amounts supplied by the
detergent manufacturer. The detergents
must be marked with the following
label:
Filling with detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add
detergents to the compartments.
Chlorine bleach for removing
stains
Detergent for the main wash
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or
capsules
Using chlorine bleach
Damage due to chlorine bleach.
Textiles may be discolored or their
fibers damaged.
Only use chlorine bleach on suitable
textiles.
Chlorination must be activated in the
programmable functions before
chlorine bleach is first used.
Bleach may be used in the following
programs:
- Normal
- Sanitize

- Extra White
Dispensing bleach
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Pour max. 1/4 cup (60ml) of bleach
into the chamber.
The bleach is added automatically
10minutes before the end of the main
wash.
5. Add detergent
24
Adding fabric softener
Add the fabric softener or the liquid
starch to the compartment. Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
final rinse cycle. At the end of the
program, a small amount of water
remains in the compartment.
If starching frequently, clean the
dispenser compartment, especially
the siphon, regularly.
Tips for dispensing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the
maximum load. Reduce the amount of
detergent with smaller loads (e.g.,
reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓
when washing a half load).
Too little detergent:
- The laundry is not cleaned properly
and may become gray and hard to
the touch over time.
- Can lead to a build-up of bacteria in
the washing machine.
- Grease is not completely removed
from the laundry.
- Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent
- Poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
- Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
- A greater burden on the environment.
Using detergent tablets or pods
Always put detergent tablets or pods
directly in the drum with the laundry.
They cannot be added via the detergent
dispenser drawer.
See “Detergent” for more information
about detergents and how much to
dispense.
5. Add detergent

Frequently Asked Questions
General problems with the washing machine
Problem Possible cause and solution
Large amounts of deter-
gent residue remain in
the detergent dispens-
ing drawer.
The water pressure is too low.
Clean the filter in the water intake.
Please note that the water pressure must be at
least 14.5psi (100kPa).
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water
softeners tends to become sticky.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in
future, add detergent first and then the water
softener.
The fabric softener is
not completely dis-
pensed or too much
water remains in the
compartment.
The siphon tube is either positioned incorrectly or
clogged.
Clean the siphon tube, see “Cleaning and care -
Cleaning the detergent drawer”.
At the end of the pro-
gram there is still liquid
in the capsule.
The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer
onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.
Clean the small pipe.
Not a fault.
For technical reasons, a small amount of water will

52
Frequently Asked Questions
Poor wash results
Problem Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergent is not
achieving the required
results.
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching
agents. Consequently, fruit, coffee, and tea stains
cannot always be removed.
Use powder detergent containing a bleaching
agent.
Use the appropriate capsule or add stain removers
to the compartment.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent
together in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Gray, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The
laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils,
ointments).
Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with
this type of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run a Normal
program with liquid detergent but without a load.
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 and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
In the future, wash dark textiles using a detergent
which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do
not usually contain zeolites.
Use the Darks/Denim program to wash the textiles.

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for this machine. It is
far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or
a carpeted surface.
Please note:
The machine must be level and
securely 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 unit on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x
1
3
/
16
“ (61 x 61 x 3 cm) plywood base.
Ideally the base should be large
enough to span several joists and
should be anchored to the joists and
not just the floor boards.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner. This is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately
secured.
During installation, the washing
machine must be secured on a
raised plinth to be made available on
site (concrete or brick), in order to
ensure it cannot fall or slip.
Secure the washing machine using a
clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor
mounting kit – available from your
Miele dealer or Miele Service).

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine and its surroundings from
water damage.
The system consists of the following
main components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic module and drainage
and overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hoses
- Protection against the hoses bursting
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 1,015psi
(7,000kPa).
Electronic module and washing
machine housing
- Sump: Any leaking water is collected
in a sump in the base of the machine.
A float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
- Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches on and pumps the
excess water away in a controlled
way.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
71
Water intake
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must comply with the requirements
for drinking water in the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to the drinking water
supply.
The washing machine can be
connected to a portable water supply. A
non-return valve is not needed unless
required by building code.
The washing machine has ½“ (13mm)
pressure hoses with ¾” (19mm) female
hose thread connections. If there is no
water hookup, contact a plumber to
install a connection. Make sure that the
sealing ring is seated properly on the
hose connector.
Replace the hose only with a genuine
Miele hose, or with a hose able to
withstand up to 145psi (1,000kPa)
pressure. The water valve connector
must also be able to withstand 145psi
(1,000kPa).
The bolted connection is under water
pressure. Open the water supply
slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the
rubber seal and the bolted
connection if necessary.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 870psi (6,000kPa) should you
ever need a replacement.
A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
72
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 3.2ft (1m) delivery head.
For the water to drain freely, the hose
must be installed free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 16.4ft (5m).
Accessories are available from your
Miele dealer or Miele Customer Service.
For a delivery head of more than 3.2ft
(1m) (up to a max. of 5.9ft (1.8m)) a
replacement drain pump will need to be
installed. Please contact Miele
Customer Service for advice.
For a delivery head of 5.9ft (1.8m) the
hose can be extended to a length of up
to 8.2ft (2.5m). Accessories are
available from your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service.
Drainage options:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure!
– If the water is pumped into a sink,
be sure that it can drain away
quickly enough. Otherwise there is
a risk of water overflowing or of
some of the drained water being
sucked back into the machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no
need to use a non-return valve).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain.
4. Connected securely to a sink with a
plastic nipple.
