IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while
using your appliance follow basic safety precautions, including the
following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not install or use a washer with visible damage.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not install your washing machine where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing.
Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains
electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician.
Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the
power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety
of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these
applications. Please contact the Miele Service Dept. with specific
requirements.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating
instructions.
If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes before using the washing
machine. This will release any built-up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time, the gas is flammable.
Before the appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door.
Use
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
The drum door glass will be hot when washing at very high
temperatures. Do not touch the glass. Danger of burns! Keep children
away from the washer when in use.
Only use the washing machine to wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer to be machine washable on the fabric care label.
Any other applications may be dangerous.
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ignite
or explode. Do not add these items to the wash load.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off
vapors which could ignite or explode.
Do not use cleaning solvents on or near the machine or the
controls. Contact with cleaning solvents will damage the surface..
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
Do not tamper with the controls.

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. 1second. Shake excess water
off the test strip.
After approx. 1minute, and based on the
coloration, you will be able to read the
water hardness from the table below.

Energy and water consumption
- Make use of the maximum load of the
respective wash program.
The energy and water consumption
will then be the lowest 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.
The washing machine provides you
with a reminder with the message
Sanitize info: Run the “Sanitize” or “Clean
Machine” program in the display.
Detergent consumption
- Use the TwinDos system for exact
dispensing.
- Adjust the dosage to the level of
soiling of the laundry.
- Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended on the
packaging.
- Only use high efficiency 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.
Feedback
You can view information about the
energy and water consumption of your
washing machine with the sensor
button.
An estimate of the energy and water
consumption before the program
begins.
Estimate
After selecting a wash program, touch
the sensor button.
The estimated energy and water
consumption levels will be displayed as
a bar chart.
OK
The more bars visible (), the higher the
energy or water consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the
wash program, temperature, and any
extra options selected.
Touch the OKsensor button or wait
until the display automatically returns
to the standard display.
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.

5. Adding detergent
24
There are several options for adding
detergent to the washing machine.
The washing machine is equipped with
the TwinDos system.
TwinDos has to be activated as
described in “Before using for the first
time”.
The TwinDos system can only be
operated with the Miele UltraPhase1
and UltraPhase2 Detergents.
How UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2
work
UltraPhase1 is a liquid detergent which
dissolves dirt and removes the most
common stains. UltraPhase2 is a
bleaching agent and removes stubborn
stains. For the best washing result,
these two agents are dispensed at
separate times during the washing
process. UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2
clean white and colored textiles
thoroughly. UltraPhase1 and
UltraPhase2 single use cartridges are
available to order from your Miele dealer
or via Miele online store.
Activating TwinDos dispensing
TwinDos dispensing is automatically
activated on all programs in which
dispensing is possible.
Tip: The detergent dispensing quantities
are pre-set. If too much foam builds up,
the dispensing quantity for UltraPhase1
and UltraPhase2 can be reduced via
More programs/ TwinDos.
Changing TwinDos dispensing
You can change the suggested color
composition of the laundry.
Touch the Whites or Colorssensor
button.
Deactivating TwinDos dispensing
Touch the TwinDossensor button.
The sensor button is only dimly lit and
dispensing is deactivated.
Using other methods to remove stains
If you use additional methods of stain
removal, you have the following options:
- Using the Booster cap and activating
the CapDosing
- Using chlorine bleach via the
compartment in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Selecting the degree of soiling
The degree of soiling in laundry is
divided into 3settings:
- Light
No visible soiling or stains
- Normal
Visibly soiled and/or just a few slight
stains
- Heavy
Heavily soiled and/or stains clearly
visible
The dispensing amount for TwinDos and
the amount of water required for rinsing
is pre-set for theNormal degree of
soiling.
Touch the sensor button to select
a different degree of soiling.
The amount of detergent and water will
be adjusted to suit the selected degree
of soiling.

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).
5. Adding detergent
27
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.

= carried out
– = not carried out
This washing machine has fully
electronic controls with automatic load
control. The washing machine takes in
the right amount of water required for
the program depending on the amount
of laundry and its absorbency rate.
The program sequences outlined in the
chart are based on the basic program
with a full load.
Special features in the program
sequence
Anti-crease:
At the end of the program, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
Exception:There is no anti-crease phase
in the Normal, Woolens, Silks
and Handwash programs.
The washing machine can be opened at
any time.
1
An additional rinse is carried out if:
- there is too much foam in the drum
- a spin speed lower than Medium
(800rpm) has been selected.
2
An additional rinse is carried out if the
ExtraRinse extra option has been
selected.
3
Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is
carried out before the wash process
begins to deflate down-filled items.
Subsequent water intake for the main
wash is through compartment .
Program sequence

PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique
developed by Miele. It is activated in the
following programs:
- Normal (with small and medium load
sizes)
- Wrinkle-free
- Dress Shirts
- Delicates
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 energy
consumption.
Activation
PowerWash is activated automatically
in the programmes listed above.
PowerWash is deactivated if:
- CapDosing (, ) has been selected
for the main wash
- Extras such as Pre-wash or
ExtraRinse have been selected
- The selected final spin speed No Spin
has been selected
- A large load is being washed in the
Normal program
Special features
- Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the program.
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 or 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 program sequence
43
Changing a program (safety
lock)
A program, temperature, spin speed, or
selected extra options cannot be
changed once the machine has been
successfully started. This prevents the
machine being operated unintentionally,
e.g., by children.
If the washing machine is switched off
during active program 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.

the end of each wash cycle.
The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto
which the capsule is placed is blocked.
Clean the small pipe.
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 the Miele 2-phase system. The deliberate
addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process
removes stains effectively.
Use powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.
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 liquid detergent with this
type of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run the Clean
Machine wash program using a universal powder
detergent.
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 24"x 24"x1
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).
Electronics and housing
- Floor tray: Any leaking water from the
washing machine is collected in the
drip 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 drip tray 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.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.
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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
89
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.
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 3'3³⁄₈" (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 16'4⁷⁄₈" (5m).
Accessories are available from Miele.
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.
Installing the elbow
Use the elbow supplied to stop the
drain hose from slipping.
Attach the elbow to the drain
hose.
Place the end of the drain hose in a
sink.
Use a strap with eyelet to stop the
elbow from slipping.

shown with temperature, spin speed,
and program duration.

some of the extra options) selected for
a wash program after the program has
started.
When the program is chosen again, the
saved settings will appear on the
display.

Temp. reduction
At high altitudes, water has a lower
boiling point. Miele recommends
switching on the reduced-temperature
setting at altitudes of 6,560ft
(2,000m) or above to prevent water
from boiling. The maximum
temperature is reduced to 176°F
(80°C), even if a higher temperature
has been selected.
The reduced-temperature setting is
deactivated as standard.
Maximum rinse level
This function is important for allergy
sufferers as it achieves excellent wash
results.
The water level in the rinses can be
permanently set to the highest value.
The water consumption will be
increased.
The maximum rinse level is deactivated
as standard.
Suds cooling
Additional water flows into the drum at
the end of the main wash to cool the
suds down.
Suds cooling takes place when a
Normal program with a temperature of
158°F (70°C) or higher is selected.
Suds cooling must be activated:
- to prevent the danger of scalding if the
drain hose is hooked over the edge of
a sink or basin
- where the drainage pipes do not
comply with DIN1986
Suds cooling is deactivated as standard.
Low water pressure
If the water pressure is below 14.5psi
(1bar), the program will be canceled
and the fault message Water intake See
will appear.
If the on-site water pressure cannot be
increased, activating this function will
prevent the program from being
canceled.
Low water pressure is deactivated as
standard.
Anti-Crease
The Anti-crease function helps prevent
creasing after the end of the program.
At the end of the program, the drum
continues to turn for up to 30minutes.
The washing-machine door can be
unlocked at any time by touching the
Start/Add laundrysensor button and
then opened.
Anti-crease is activated as standard.

that all personal data has been removed
and the previous owner will no longer be
able to access the washing machine.
A new connection setup has to be
carried out in order to use the
Miele@home setting again.
Remote control
The Remote control setting is only
visible if the Miele@home setting is set
up and activated.
Once the Miele app has been installed
on your mobile device, you can check
the status of your washing machine
from anywhere and start it remotely.
You can also control it remotely via the
MobileStartprogram.
You can switch off the Remote control
setting if you do not want to operate the
washing machine with your mobile
device.
If Remote control is not switched on, the
app can cause the program to be
canceled.
Use the Delay Start button to set a time
until you want to start the washing
machine and start the Delay Start
function (see “Delay Start/SmartStart”).
The washing machine will then start
within the timeframe specified when it
receives your signal.
If it has not received a start signal by the
latest start time set, the washing
machine will start automatically.
Remote control is activated as standard.
SmartGrid
The SmartGrid setting is only visible if
the Miele@home setting is set up and
activated.
You can set your washing machine to
start automatically based on an
external signal within a certain time
period.
Activating SmartGrid gives the Delay
Start sensor button a new function. You
set the SmartStart via the Delay Start
button. The washing machine will then
start within the time period specified by
you when it receives an external signal.
If an external signal has not been
received by the latest start time set, the
washing machine will start
automatically (see “Delay Start”).
SmartGrid is deactivated as standard.

The RemoteUpdate menu option is only
displayed and can only be selected if
the requirements for using

The RemoteUpdate function updates
the software in your washing machine. If
an update is available for your washing
machine, it will automatically download

manually.
If you do not install an update, you can
continue to use your washing machine
in the usual way. However, Miele
recommends installing updates.
Activating/deactivating
The RemoteUpdate function is activated
as standard. Available updates will be
downloaded automatically but will only
be installed if you initiate installation
manually.
Deactivate RemoteUpdate if you do not
want any updates to be downloaded
automatically.
Running a RemoteUpdate
Information about the content and
scope of an update is provided in the
Miele app.
A message will appear in your washing-
machine display if a software update is
available.
You can install the update immediately
or postpone this until later. When the
washing machine is switched on again,
you will be reminded about the update.
Deactivate RemoteUpdate if you do not
want to install the update.
The update may take several minutes.
Please note the following information
about the RemoteUpdate function:
- You will only receive a message when
an update is available.
- Once an update has been installed, it
cannot be undone.
- Do not switch off the washing
machine during an update. Otherwise,
the update will be aborted and will not
be installed.
- Some software updates can only be
carried out by Miele Customer
Service.
Bleach
You can activate the automatic
addition of bleach at the end of the
main wash.
Bleach may only be used in some
programs. See “5. Adding detergent –
Using bleach” for more detailed
