Caring for the environment
6
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
7
This washing machine complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-
sonal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing
machine. They contain important information on safety, installa-
tion, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and
damage to the washing machine.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety in-
structions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households
and similar working and residential environments.
The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use.
It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items which
are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the wash
care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from in-
correct or improper use or operation.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
8
The washing machine can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it safely and recognise and understand the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash-
ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un-
supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog-
nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing
machine unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine
and do not let them play with it.
Technical safety
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally
visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
9
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connec-
tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaran-
teed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt, please have the wiring system of the building tested 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 sup-
ply 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 ori-
ginal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran-
tee the safety standards of the machine.
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 the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the war-
ranty.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
10
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when
cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
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 100kPa and should not
exceed 1000kPa.
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 warranty.
The machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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 elec-
tronic 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 stopcock 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 im-
mediate vicinity.
Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can
drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink 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, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds con-
tainer, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam
function. 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 dis-
sipated.
The maximum load for this washing machine is 9 kg (dry weight).
See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads
for individual programmes.
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 descaling agent which is available to
order online at www.miele.co.uk 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 ex-
plosion hazard.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, to clean the surfaces of the machine. They can cause dam-
age to plastic surfaces.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufac-
turer's instructions carefully.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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 thor-
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer-
ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their
skin coming into contact with detergent.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product li-
ability claims will be invalidated.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional
accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the
correct one for this washing machine.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Miele@home
Your washing machine is equipped
with an integrated WiFi module.
In order to use it you need:
a WiFi network
the Miele@mobile App
a Miele user account. The user ac-
count can be created via the
Miele@mobile App.
The Miele@mobile App will guide you
as you connect your washing machine

Once your washing machine is connec-
ted to your WiFi network you can use
the App, for example, to carry the fol-
lowing activities:
Operate your washing machine re-
motely
Access information about the operat-
ing status of your washing machine
Access information about a pro-
gramme sequence on your washing
machine
Connecting your washing machine to

toys). This can give rise to sporadic or
even complete connection failures.
Therefore, the availability of featured
functions cannot be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele@mobile app
depends on the availability of the
Miele@home service in your country.
The Miele@home service is not avail-
able in every country.

To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load size for
the programme you are using.
The energy and water consumption
will be the lowest in relation to the
size of the load.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load control
system will reduce the amount of wa-
ter and energy used.
Use the Express 20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergents can cause
bacteria and odours to build up in the
washing machine. Miele therefore re-
commends cleaning the washing ma-
chine once every month.
The washing machine reminds you to
do so with the following message in
the display: Hygiene info: run a pro-
gramme at min. 75 °C or the "Clean ma-
chine" programme.
Detergent
For precise dispensing use automatic
detergent dispensing.
Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer on the packaging.
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.

1. Prepare the laundry
25
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.
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a tex-
tile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds 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.
Tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea)
can be pre-treated using some handy
tricks which can be found in the Miele
guide to laundry care.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)
do not come into contact with clean-
ing agent.
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 lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-
ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. be-
fore washing.
Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this washing
machine which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label ( symbol).

this reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creases.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Mixing both large and small items
gives better wash results and also

system.
TwinDos has to be activated as de-
scribed in “Before using for the first
time”.
How UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2
work
UltraPhase1 is a liquid detergent which
dissolves dirt and removes the most
common stains. UltraPhase2 is a
bleaching agent and removes stubborn
stains. For the best washing result,
these two agents are dispensed at sep-
arate times during the washing process.
UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2 clean
white and coloured fabrics thoroughly.
UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2 single-
use cartridges are available to order
from Miele, your Miele dealer or via the
Miele online shop.
Activating TwinDos dispensing
TwinDos dispensing is automatically ac-
tivated for all programmes in which dis-
pensing is possible.
Tip: The detergent dispensing quanti-
ties are preset. If too much foam builds
up, the dispensing quantity can be re-
duced via Settings  TwinDos.

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 deter-
gent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the
amount of detergent by ⅓ when wash-
ing a half load).
Too little detergent:
Results in laundry not being cleaned
properly and may cause it to become
grey and hard to the touch over time.
Can lead to a build-up of mould in
the washing machine.
Results in grease not being com-
pletely removed from the laundry.
Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent
Causes poor wash, rinse, and spin
results.
Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
Is a greater burden on the environ-
ment.
Using liquid detergent with a pre-
wash
Liquid detergent cannot be used for the
main wash if the pre-wash has been se-
lected.
Use TwinDos dispensing if you are ac-
tivating the pre-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.

2. TwinDos mainten. for maintenance of the TwinDos compartments/. See
“Cleaning and care – TwinDos maintenance” for more details.
Maintenance wash 85°C No load
With frequent washing at low temperatures there is a danger of a build-up of
bacteria in the washing machine.
Cleaning the washing machine will significantly reduce bacteria, mould and
biofilm, as well as prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours.
Tip Optimum results can be achieved by using Miele’s IntenseClean
washing machine cleaner. Alternatively, a universal powder deter-
gent can be used.
Dispense the washing machine cleaner or universal detergent dir-
ectly in the drum.
Do not load any laundry. The drum must be empty for the Clean

This washing machine has fully elec-
tronic controls with automatic load con-
trol. The washing machine takes in the
right amount of water required for the
programme depending on the amount
of laundry and its absorbency rate.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic pro-
gramme with a full load.
The washing machine programme se-
quence display shows which stage of
the programme has been reached.
Special features in the pro-
gramme sequence
Anti-crease:
At the end of the programme, 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 Woollensand
Silksprogrammes.
The washing machine can be opened at
any time.
1)
If a temperature of 60°C or higher is
selected, and with and ,
two rinses are carried out. If a tem-
perature of less than 60°C is selec-
ted, three rinses are carried out.
2)
An additional rinse is carried out if:
there is too much foam in the drum
a spin speed lower than 700rpm has
been selected.
3
An additional rinse is carried out if:
The Water + extra option has been
selected and the options Extra water
or Extra water + rinse have been activ-
ated in the Settings menu.
4)
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 .

PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique de-
veloped by Miele. It is activated in the
following programmes:
Cottons (with small and medium load
sizes)
Minimum iron
Shirts
Automatic plus
Delicates
ECO 40-60 (with small and medium
load sizes)
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 con-
sumption.
Activation
PowerWash is activated automatically
in the programmes listed above.
PowerWash is deactivated if:
The selected final spin speed is less
than 600rpm
CapDosing (, ) has been selec-
ted 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
Cottonsprogramme
Special features
Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few
times at the beginning of the pro-
gramme. 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 neces-
sary, 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.

The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the pack-
aging.
For users in Asia:
please use a low foaming detergent
suitable for use in front-loading ma-
chines
The right amount to dispense
will depend on the following:
the soiling level of the load
the quantity of the laundry
the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount spe-
cified on the packaging. First add deter-
gent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.

Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent, particu-
larly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps re-
duce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric conditioner and liquid
starch
Fabric conditioner
makes garments soft to handle and
helps prevent static cling when tumble
drying.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of laun-
dry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Cause and remedy
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.
Before washing the next load, run the Maintenance
wash using Miele machine cleaner or a powder de-
tergent.
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.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which con-
tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments/Denim programme for dark
coloured laundry.

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface. It is far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted sur-
face.
Please note:
The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
Install the machine on a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). The
base should span several joists and
be bolted to the joists and not only to
the floorboards. Check for the pres-
ence of pipes and cables first.
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 ma-
chine must be secured on a 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 spare parts de-
partment).
Transporting the washing ma-
chine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid.
Make sure the fixings at the back of
the lid are secure. Otherwise there is
a danger of the lid being pulled off
when carrying the machine.
Before carrying the machine check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the machine.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and by the lid where it pro-
trudes at the back of the appliance.
Removing the transit bars
Remove the left and right covers.
1. Pull off the transit bar covers and
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.

Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand per-
fectly level on all four feet to ensure
safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase elec-
tricity and water consumption and may
cause the machine to move about.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
for levelling the washing machine. The
machine is supplied with all four feet
are screwed in.
Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.
Use a level to check that the washing
machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us-
ing the spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
Risk of damage due to incor-
rectly aligned washing machine.
There is a danger of the washing ma-
chine moving about if the feet are not
secured.
Turn all four counter nuts for the feet
until they sit firmly up against the
housing. Please also check this for
the feet which did not need adjust-
ment.

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washing machine
from water damage.
The system consists of three main com-
ponents:
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
pressure of at least 7,000kPa.
Electronic unit 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 in and pumps
the excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventila-
tion system which prevents the washing
machine from being emptied com-
pletely.

Connection to the water supply
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
The washing machine should be con-
nected to the mains water supply in ac-
cordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German author-
ities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DIN reg-
ulations.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100kPa and 1000kPa. If
the water connection pressure exceeds
1000kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
A stopcock with a ¾inch threaded
union is required for the connection. If
this is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
Turn on the stopcock slowly and
check for leaks. Correct the position
of the washer and the threaded
union if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
The washing machine must not be
connected to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 7,000kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
Damage caused by dirty water.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the inlet valve in
the washing machine.
These filters must not be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0m in length are
available from your Miele Dealer or
Miele as optional extras.

Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from Miele or from your Miele
dealer.
For a delivery head of more than 1m
(up to a max. of 1.8m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice.
For a delivery head of 1.8 m the hose
can be extended to a length of up to
2.5m. Accessories are available from
Miele or from your Miele dealer.
Drainage options:
1. Directed into a sink or basin:
Please note:
Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it.
If the water is pumped into a
washbasin, make sure that it can
drain away freely. 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 siphon).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).
4. Connected securely to a washbasin
with plastic nipple.

Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with
an electrical connection cable with
moulded plug ready for connection to a
switched socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washing machine has been in-
stalled. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.
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.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department). For safety reasons,
such replacement may only be carried
out by a qualified technician or the
Miele Customer Service Department.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appropri-
ate fuse rating. Compare the specifica-
tions on the data plate with those of the
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Do not connect the washing machine to
a stand-alone inverter such as those
used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power. When the
washing machine is switched on, power
surges could result in a safety switch-
off. This could damage the electronic
module.

Once the Miele@mobile app has been
installed on your mobile device, you
can check the status of your washing
machine from anywhere and start it re-

cancelled.
Use the delay start function to set a
timeframe within which you want to
start the washing machine (see “Delay
start/SmartStart”).
The washing machine will then start
within the timeframe specified when it
receives your signal.

the latest start time set, the washing
machine will start automatically.

your washing machine automatically
at a time when your energy supplier's
energy costs are most economical.
Activating SmartGrid gives the Delay
start sensor control a new function. Use
the delay start control to set the
SmartGrid. The washing machine will
then start within the timeframe specified
by you when it receives a signal from
your energy supplier.
If a signal has not been received from
the energy supplier by the latest start
time set, the washing machine will start
automatically (see “Delay start”).
SmartGrid is deactivated as standard.
