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.
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 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
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.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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 machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the
condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in
good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100kPa and must not
exceed 1000kPa.
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.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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.
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 8.0 kg (dry
weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended
loads for individual programmes.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions

Caring for the environment
14
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.
Before using for the first time

An elbow piece for the drain hose is
stored in the drum.
Pull open the door.
Remove the elbow piece.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
This washing machine has undergone
a complete functional test at the
factory and there will be some residual
water in the drum from this process.
Before using for the first time
16
Running the first programme
For optimum water and energy
consumption and excellent wash
results, it is important to calibrate the
washing machine.
To do this, the Cottonsprogramme
must be run without laundry and
without detergent.
Turn on the tap.
Turn the programme selector to the
Cottonsposition.
The washing machine is now switched
on and in the control panel the
temperature 60°C lights up.
Touch the Start/Add laundrysensor.
The programme will start.
After 10minutes, the indicators dim,
except for theStart/Add laundry
sensor.
Opening the door at the end of
the programme
The door remains locked during the
Anti-crease phase. The control panel
lights up for 10 minutes after the
programme ends. The control panel
then goes out and theStart/Add
laundry sensor flashes.

appears in the time display and
the indicator light goes out.
The door will unlock.
Useful tip: After the Anti-crease phase,
the washing machine will have switched
off and the door unlocked
automatically. The control panel is
completely dark.
Take hold of the door and pull it
open.
Useful tip: For safety reasons, close the
door when the washing machine is not
in use. Otherwise there is a danger of
objects being placed inadvertently in
the drum. If these remain unnoticed and
were washed in the next load, they
could damage the laundry. An open
door is also a danger to pets and
children.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Washing environmentally and economically
17
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
consumption generally have a longer
running time. By extending the
programme running time, the wash
temperature that is actually reached
can be reduced while still providing
the same wash results.
For example, the Cottons
programme has a longer running time
than the Cottons40°C or 60°C
programme, but the Cottons
programme is more efficient in terms
of energy and water consumption.
- Use the Express 20programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature
settings will save energy.
Hygiene in the washing
machine
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odours to build up in the
washing machine. Miele therefore
recommends cleaning the washing
machine once every month.
When the indicator light appears in
the control field, the washing machine
must be cleaned.
Information about subsequent
tumble drying
The spin speed selected affects the
residual moisture in the laundry and the
sound emissions of the washing
machine.
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.
Detergent consumption
- Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer 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).
1. Preparing the laundry
18
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 by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain
excess dye and should be washed
separately several times before being
included in a mixed load. Always wash
white and coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Useful tip: Please refer to the Miele
website or Miele@mobile App for more
information on stain removal.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) do not come into contact
with cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
If solvent-based cleaning agents are
used, an explosive mixture can form.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.
General tips
- Curtains: remove lead weights first or
place in a laundry bag.
- Remove or sew in any loose
underwiring in bras or shirt collar
stiffeners.
- Close any zips, attach velcro
fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc.
before washing.
- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer as not washable
on the care label (symbol).
2. Loading the washing machine
19
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 helps
distribute the load evenly during
spinning.
Useful tip: Please note the maximum
load size for different wash
programmes.
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
20
Programme selection
The washing machine is switched on by
turning the programme selector to a
wash programme.
Turn the programme selector to the
required programme.
The likely wash time is shown in the
time display and the pre-set
temperature and spin speed light up in
the control panel.
Selecting the temperature and spin
speed
The wash programme's pre-set
temperature and spin speed light up
brightly. The choice of temperatures
and spin speeds selectable for the
wash programme light up dimly.
The temperatures reached in the
washing machine may differ from the
selected temperatures. The
combination of energy input and
washing time achieves an optimum
washing result.
Touch the sensor for the temperature
you want. It then lights up brightly.
Touch the sensor for the spin speed
you want. It then lights up brightly.
3. Selecting a programme
21
Selecting Extras
The selection of Extras available for
the wash programme lights up dimly.
Touch the sensor for the Extra you
want. It then lights up brightly.
Useful tip: You can select multiple
Extras for a wash programme.
Please refer to “Extras” for more
information.
4. Adding detergent
22
Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic
front loading washing machines can be
used with this appliance. Please
observe the instructions for use and
dosage on the detergent packaging.
Filling with detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add
detergents to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide
the total recommended amount as
follows: add ⅓ to compartment "I"
and ⅔ to compartment "II")
Detergent for the main wash
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or
capsules
Adding fabric softener
Add fabric softener or liquid starch to
the compartment. Do not exceed
the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
final rinse. At the end of the programme
a small amount of water remains in the
fabric softener compartment.
Starch can make the siphon tube
sticky.
If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the dispenser compartment,
especially the siphon tube, regularly.
4. Adding detergent
23
Tips on dosing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the size of
the 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 results in:
- laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
- a build-up of mould in the washing
machine.
- grease not being completely removed
from the laundry.
- limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
Too much detergent results in:
- poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
- a higher water consumption as an
extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
- a greater burden on the environment.
Using liquid detergent with a pre-
wash
Liquid detergent cannot be used for the
main wash if the pre-wash has been
selected.
Use powder detergent for the main
wash.
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 further information
on detergents and dosage.
4. Adding detergent
24
CapDosing
Three different types of capsule are
available:
= Fabric care (e.g. fabric
softener)
= Additives (e.g. booster)
= Detergent (for the main wash
only)
Each capsule contains the correct
amount for one wash cycle.
You can order the capsules online at
shop.miele.com (depending on country)
or from Miele (see the end of this
booklet for contact details).
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be
hazardous to health if they are
swallowed or come into contact with
skin.
Keep capsules out of the reach of
children.

PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique
developed by Miele. It is activated in
the following programmes:
- Cottons (with small and medium-
sized loads)
- Minimum iron
- Shirts
- Delicates
- ECO 40-60 (with small and medium-
sized loads)
How it works
Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.
The PowerWash washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and
over again. This reduces the amount of
energy used.
Activation
PowerWash is activated automatically
in the programmes listed above.
PowerWash is deactivated if:
- The selected final spin speed is less
than 600rpm
- CapDosing (, ) has been
selected for the main wash
- The wash temperature is higher than
60°C
- Extras such as Pre-wash or Water +
have been selected
- A large load is being washed in the
Cottonsprogramme
Special features
- Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the
programme. During spinning, the
water discharged is sprayed back
into the laundry in order to achieve
optimum moisture penetration.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If
necessary, the washing machine will
pump water away and take in a little
more fresh water.
- Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.
Changing the programme sequence
39
Changing the programme
(safety lock)
It is not possible to change the
programme, the temperature, the spin
speed or the selected Extras after the
programme has started. This prevents
the appliance being operated
unintentionally, e.g. by children.
If the washing machine is switched off
during active programme operation,
the standby function does not switch
the washing machine off completely
after 15minutes. Safety functions
continue to be active because there
may still be water inside the drum.
Cancelling a programme
You can cancel a programme at any
time after it has started.
Turn the programme selector to the
position.
Turn the programme selector to any
position.
Rotating bars ...... or

41
The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
front loading washing machines are
suitable. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and dosage
recommendations on the packaging.
The right amount to dispense
will depend on the following:
- The soiling level of the laundry.
- The quantity of laundry.
- The water hardness level. Check with
your local water authority if you do
not know the water hardness level in
your area.
Detergent dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent,
particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent, buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps
reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric softeners and liquid
starch
Fabric softeners
make garments soft to handle and help
prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Fabric shapers
are synthetic starches and give an even
stiffer hold.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.
Detergent
42
Using fabric softener or starch
separately
Prepare the starch in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
Useful tip: When adding fabric
softener, activate the Water + Extra.
Add fabric softener to the
compartment or insert the
appropriate capsule.
Add liquid starch to the
compartment and powder or
viscous starch to the
compartment.
Select the Separate rinse/Starch
programme.
Change the spin speed if necessary.
Activate the Cap sensor if using a
capsule.
Touch the Start/Add laundrysensor.
Colour run and dye removers/
dyes
Damage due to colour run/dye
removers.
Colour run and dye removers can
cause corrosion in the washing
machine.
Do not use colour run or dye
removers in this washing machine.
Dyes suitable for use in domestic
washing machines can be used.
However, please note that the salt used
in the dyeing process can cause
corrosion to stainless steel components
in the machine if you use dye
frequently. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
When using the machine to dye
fabric, it is essential to select the
Water + Extra.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible 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
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 dispenser drawer.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent or liquid detergent.
Before washing the next load, run a Cottons 60°C
programme with powder detergent but without a
load.
White residues which
look like powder
detergent are seen on
dark textiles after

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.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which does
not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually do
not contain zeolites.

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. 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 machine on a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). The
base should span several joists and
be bolted to the joists and not only to
the floorboards. Check for the
presence of pipes and cables first.
Useful tip: If possible, install the
machine in a corner. This is usually the
most stable part of the floor.

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine and surrounds from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressures up to 7000kPa.
Electronic unit and machine housing
- Sump: any leaking water from the
washing machine is collected in the
floor tray. There is a float switch to
close the water intake valve. The
water inlet is shut off and any water
inside the suds container is drained
away.
- Leak protection: any leaking water
that is not collected in the sump is
detected. The water inlet is shut off
and any water inside the suds
container is drained away.
- Overflow protection: this prevents the
washing machine from taking in too
much water and overflowing. If the
water level exceeds a certain level,
the drain pump switches on and
pumps the excess water away in a
controlled way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
67
Connection to the water supply
Connecting the water inlet
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated mains water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to potable water.
The washing machine must be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100kPa (1 bar) and
1000kPa (10 bar). If the water
connection pressure exceeds 1000kPa,
a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
A tap with a ¾inch threaded union is
required for the connection. If this is not
available, only a qualified plumber may
connect the washing machine to the
mains water supply.
The screw thread is subject to water
connection pressure.
Check that the connection is
leakproof. Slowly turn on the tap.
Correct the position of the seal and
screw thread if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. These are
tested to withstand pressures up to
7000kPa.
A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
The filters must remain in place, and
be replaced after cleaning.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5m or 4.0m in length
are available from Miele as optional
accessories (depending on country).
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
68
Drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m high delivery head. For
the water to drain freely, the hose must
be free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 5m. The necessary
parts can be ordered from Miele
(depending on country).
For a delivery head of more than 1m
(up to a max. of 1.8m), a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice.
For a delivery head of 1.8m, the hose
can be extended to a length of up to
2.5m. The necessary parts can be
ordered from Miele (depending on
country).
Drain hose connection options
1. Directed into a laundry trough or tub
or into the sud-saver pipe of a
laundry trough or tub.
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
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 trapped
waste pipe.
3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).

Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a switched socket.
The socket should be easily accessible
after the machine has been installed. If
the switch is not accessible after
installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles.
Risk of fire from overheating!
Connecting the washing machine to
a multi-socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
Do not use an extension lead or
multi-socket plug adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install
a suitable residual current device (RCD)
with a trip current of 30mA. Ensure
power is not supplied to the appliance
until after the installation has been
completed.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from Miele).
For safety reasons, such replacement
may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent technician or
by a Miele authorised service
technician, in order to avoid a hazard.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare this
information with the data of the on-site
electrical connection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
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.
