Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate-

rial

The cardboard box and packing materi-

als protect the appliance during ship-

ping. They have been designed to be

biodegradable and recyclable.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of children. Dan-

ger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

contain valuable materials. They also

contain certain substances, compounds

and components which were essential

for the proper functioning and safe use

of the equipment. Handling these mate-

rials improperly by disposing of them in

your household waste can be harmful to

your health and the environment. There-

fore, please do not dispose of your old

appliance with regular household waste

and follow local regulations on proper

disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or

Miele in order to dispose of and recycle

electrical and electronic appliances.

Miele assumes no responsibility for

deleting any personal data left on the

appliance being disposed. Please en-

sure that your old appliance is kept

away from children until removal. Ob-

serve safety requirements for appli-

ances that may tip over or pose an en-

trapment hazard.

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 pro-

viding 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 out-

let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all lo-

cal codes and ordinances.

 WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali-

fied 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 reli-

ability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures

below freezing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 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 mo-

bile 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 Technical Service Dept.

with specific requirements.

 Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating in-

structions.

 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. HYDRO-

GEN 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

 Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close super-

vision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

 The drum door glass will be hot when washing at very high tem-

peratures. 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 la-

bel. 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 ig-

nite 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 con-

trols. 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Miele Tumble Dryers and Miele Washing Machines can be in-

stalled as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele Washer-Dryer

Stacking Kit which can be purchased separately. Please ensure that

the washer-dryer stacking 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.

 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.

 This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope

with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical re-

sistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp must

only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suit-

able for room lighting. Replacement lamps should only be installed

by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Technical Service.

 The maximum dry laundry weight is 19.8lb (9kg). See the “Pro-

gram chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual pro-

grams.

 Badly soiled areas and stains should

be cleaned as soon as possible.

Stains should be carefully dabbed off

using a soft, colorfast cloth.

 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

- 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 under-

wiring 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 “Program 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 dis-

tribute the load evenly during spinning.

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 gently.

3. Selecting a program

Switching on the washing ma-

chine

 Press the button.

dance with the manufacturer’s in-

structions on the packaging.

 Select the Starchprogram.

 Add the prepared starch to the

compartment.

 Touch the Start/Stopsensor control.

Tip: If starching separately or automati-

cally, thoroughly clean the detergent

dispenser drawer, especially the siphon,

regularly.

Dye removers and dyes

 Damage due to color run/dye re-

movers.

Color run and dye removers can

cause corrosion in the washing ma-

chine.

Do not use color run or dye removers

in the washing machine.

Only use dyes suitable for use in a

washing machine. The manufacturer’s

instructions on the packaging must be

observed.

5. Adding detergent

CapDosing

3 different types of cap are available:

 = Fabric care (e.g., fabric soft-

ener, proofing agent)

 = Additives (e.g., detergent en-

hancers)

 = Detergent (for the main wash

only)

Only one cap can be selected per wash

program.

Depending on the setting selected, the

detergent, additive, or fabric care agent

will be dispensed via the cap for this

wash program.

Each cap contains the correct amount

for one wash cycle.

Caps are available to order from Miele’s

online store, Miele Technical Service, or

from your Miele dealer.

 Caps pose a health risk.

The ingredients of caps can be haz-

ardous to health if they are swal-

lowed or come into contact with

skin.

Keep caps out of the reach of chil-

dren.

Activating CapDosing

 Touch the CapDosingsensor control.

The types of caps which can be used

the drawer before it is used.

Dispose of opened caps.

The wash program will dispense the

contents of the cap at the correct time.

When using CapDosing, water intake

to the compartment takes place

solely via the cap.

When using caps, do not add extra

fabric softener to the compart-

ment.

 Remove the empty cap at the end of

Extra options

You can add extra options to the wash

programs.

Not all extra options can be selected

with every program. If an extra option is

not listed, it is not permitted for use

with the wash program in question.

Selecting extra options

 Touch the Extrassensor control.

 Select one or more of the extra op-

tions available.

 Confirm with the OKsensor control if

several extra options are available.

Pre-wash

A pre-wash can be added for heavily

soiled laundry. Coarse soiling is loos-

ened and removed before the main

wash.

Pre-rinse

The laundry is rinsed before the main

wash to remove larger quantities of soil-

ing, e.g., dust, sand.

Rinse plus

An extra rinse can be activated to

achieve a more thorough wash result.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items

with protein stains. The soak duration is

10minutes.

Intensive

For hard-wearing laundry that is very

heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is in-

creased through more intense mechani-

cal action and the application of more

heat energy.

Water plus

The water level in the main wash and

the rinses will be increased.

SoftSteam

In order to reduce creasing, the laundry

undergoes a smoothing process at the

end of the program. Reducing the maxi-

mum load by 50% will achieve a better

result. Small loads achieve a better re-

sult.

The textiles must be suitable for drying

in a tumble dryerand suitable for

ironing.

Rinse hold

The laundry is not spun after the final

rinse and remains in the rinse water.

This helps prevent creasing if the laun-

dry is not going to be removed from the

drum immediately after the end of the

program.

Starch stop

Water is drained out of the machine be-

fore the last rinse and the program

stops. The prepared starch is added di-

rectly to the drum. The program is con-

tinued with the Start/Stopsensor con-

trol.

Frequently asked questions

Unsatisfactory wash results

Problem Possible cause and solution

Liquid detergent is not

achieving the required

results.

Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching

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

stains.

 Use powder detergent containing 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 detergent 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 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.

Textiles that were very

greasy are not properly

clean.

 Select a program with pre-wash. Use liquid deter-

gent for the pre-wash.

 Use an industrially available 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 and cleaning

agent manufacturer.

There are gray, oily par-

ticles clinging 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 140°F (60°C)

program with liquid detergent and no load.

Frequently asked questions

General problems with the washing machine

Problem Possible cause and solution

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 intake.

Powder detergent used in conjunction with water

softeners tends to become sticky.

 Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in fu-

ture, add detergent first and then the water soft-

ener.

Fabric softener is not

completely dispensed

or too much water re-

mains in the com-

partment.

The siphon is not correctly positioned or is clogged

up.

 Clean the siphon (see “Cleaning the detergent dis-

penser drawer” under “Cleaning and care”).

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.

At the end of the pro-

gram there is still liquid

Holding bracket for toe-kick

The holding bracket prevents the wash-

ing machine from falling off the toe-kick

during operation.

Fastening with the holding bracket is

only intended for toe-kicks made from

concrete. The toe-kick must be flat and

level. The surface below the toe-kick

must be able to withstand the physical

loads.

Prior to installation, check whether the

toe-kick complies with the minimum di-

mensions.

Height: 2 3/8" (6cm)

Width: 23 5/8" (60cm)

Depth: 25 9/16" (65cm)

Installation and connection

*INSTALLATION*

External control equipment

The XCI box accessory is needed to

connect external control equipment,

such as payment systems, dispensing

systems or peak load control units.

Payment system

This washing machine can be fitted with

a payment system (optional accessory).

The necessary reprogramming must al-

ways be carried out by Miele Technical

Service or a Miele Service Dealer.

Coins/tokens must be removed from

the coin box regularly. Otherwise, the

payment system will become blocked.

Installation and connection

*INSTALLATION*

Water connection

Cold water connection

The washing machine should be con-

nected to a domestic water supply in

accordance with current local and na-

tional safety regulations. The German

authorities do not require it to have a

non-return valve as the washing ma-

chine has been designed to comply

with DIN regulations.

The flow pressure must amount to a

minimum of 14.5 psi (100kPa) and

must not exceed 145 psi (1,000kPa). If

the pressure exceeds 145 psi

(1,000kPa), a pressure reducing valve

must be installed.

For the connection, a faucet with a ¾

inch screw thread is required. If this

type of faucet is not available, only a

qualified installer may connect the

washing machine to the domestic water

supply.

The connection point is subject to

domestic water pressure.

You should therefore open the faucet

slowly and check for leaks. Correct

the position of the washer and screw

thread if appropriate.

The intake hose for cold water is not

suitable for connection to a hot water

supply.

Switching to cold water operation

If the washing machine is not con-

nected to a hot water point, you will

have to configure the settings Main

wash water, Pre-wash water, and Rinse

water to cold (see “Supervisor level”).

 Unscrew the hot water hose.

 Screw on the stopper provided.

Maintenance

Only use genuine Miele hoses that have

been tested to withstand pressure of at

least 1,015 psi (7,000kPa) should you

ever need a replacement.

A filter is located in the open end of

the intake hose and another in the in-

take point to protect the water intake

valves.

Neither filter may be removed.

Hose extension

Longer hoses of 8' 2 7/16" or 13' 1 1/2"

(2.5m or 4.0m) in length are available

from Miele Technical Service or from

your Miele dealer as accessories.

Installation and connection

*INSTALLATION*

Hot-water connection*

The hot water temperature must not ex-

ceed 158°F (70°C).

To minimize energy consumption during

operation with hot water, the washing

machine should be connected to a suit-

able hot water ring circuit. So-called

“transmission pipes” (single pipes to

hot water generators) can result in any

water remaining in the pipes cooling

down if not in constant use. More en-

ergy would then be consumed to heat

the liquid up again.

The same connection requirements as

for cold water also apply to hot water.

The intake hose (hot = red stripes) is

connected to the faucet.

The washing machine cannot only be

connected to a hot water connection.

* Some machine versions do not come

with a hot water hose.

Switching to hot water operation

If the washing machine is due to be

connected to a hot water point, you can

configure the settings Main wash water,

Pre-wash water, and Rinse water to hot

(see “Supervisor level”).

 Unscrew the stopper from the hot

water valve.

 Screw on the hot water hose.

Installation and connection

*INSTALLATION*

Water 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

installed free of kinks. The swivel elbow

(accessory) 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 non-return valve).

2. Connected securely to a sink with a

plastic nipple.

3. Connected securely to a floor drain.

If required, the hose can be extended to

a length of up to 16.4ft (5m). Acces-

sories are available from your Miele

dealer or Miele Technical Service.

Installation and connection

*INSTALLATION*

Electrical connection

This description applies to washing

machines both with and without a

power plug.

The following applies to washing ma-

chines with a power plug:

- The washing machine is ready to be

connected.

- The power plug must be easily ac-

cessible after installation so that the

machine can be disconnected from

the power supply if necessary.

 Damage caused by incorrect

supply voltage.

The data tag indicates the nominal

power consumption and the appro-

priate fuse rating.

Compare the specifications on the

data tag with those of the domestic

electrical 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, a dual cir-

cuit 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 circuit break-

ers, breakers, and relays according to

IEC/EN60947). This connection

process must be performed by a quali-

fied electrician.

The plug connector or isolator switch

should be easily accessible at all times.

 Risk of electric shock.

If the washing machine is discon-

nected from the power supply, pro-

tective measures should be taken to

ensure that the point of disconnec-

tion cannot accidentally be switched

on again.

Make sure the isolator is lockable or

the point of disconnection is moni-

tored at all times.

New connections, modifications to the

system, or servicing of the ground con-

ductor, including determining the cor-

rect fuse rating, must be carried out by

a qualified electrician, as they are famil-

iar with the pertinent regulations and

the specific requirements of the electric

utility company.

If converting the washing machine to

an alternative voltage, observe the

instructions in the wiring diagram.

Conversion must be performed by

Miele Technical Service or by an au-

thorized Miele dealer.
