Damage from incorrect installa-
tion and connection.
Installing and connecting the wash-
ing machine incorrectly will cause
serious damage to property.
See “Installation”.
Removing the protective film
and stickers
Remove:
– The protective film from the door
– Any stickers (if present) from the front
and the lid
Please do not remove any labels
(e.g., the data plate) which are visible
when you open the door.
Remove the drain hose elbow
from the drum
An elbow piece for the drain hose is
stored in the drum.
Pull open the door.
Remove the elbow piece.
Shut the door.
This washing machine has undergone
a complete functional test at the fac-
tory and some residual water will
therefore remain in the drum from this
process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not pos-
sible until the machine has been pre-
pared for use for the first time. To acti-
vate the spinning function, you must run
a wash program without laundry and
without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an ex-
cessive build-up of foam!
The ball valve is activated at the same
time. The ball valve prevents detergent
escaping from the suds container into
the sump during a wash program, thus
making maximum use of the detergent.
Before using for the first time
15
Running the first program
Turn on the water supply.
Turn the program selector to Normal.
The washing machine is now switched
on and the temperature hot+ lights up
on the control field.
Touch the Start/Stop sensor button.
The program starts and the symbol
lights up on the control field.
After 10minutes, the indicators dim
and the Start/Stop sensor button
starts flashing.
At the end of the program
At the end of the program, the Anti-
crease function is switched on. The
symbol lights up on the control field,
:appears on the time display, and
the drum occasionally rotates.
Touch the Start/Stop sensor button.
The door will be unlocked.

starts flashing.
– 15minutes after completion of the
Anti-crease phase, the washing ma-
chine switches off completely and
the door lock is released.
Environmentally friendly washing
16
Energy and water consumption
– Make use of the maximum load that
the wash program can accommo-
date.
This will keep the energy and water
consumption to a minimum in relation
to the size of the load.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the washing machine’s au-
tomatic load control system will re-
duce 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 (e.g.,
70°F/20°C). Using the corresponding
temperature settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the ma-
chine, carry out a hot wash (above
60°C) at regular intervals. The indi-
cator will come on to remind you to
carry out a hot wash.
Detergent consumption
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended on the packag-
ing.
– Adjust the dosage to the level of soil-
ing 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).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash program to save energy in
the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
1. Prepare the laundry
17
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 ob-
jects.
Sort the laundry
Only wash items that are labeled ma-
chine 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 be-
fore 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, colorfast 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 re-
quest 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 re-
moved or sewn in place before wash-
ing.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets be-
fore washing.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened to prevent small
items from rolling inside of them.
Do not wash items with the sym-
bol on the fabric care label.
2. Load the laundry
18
Opening the door
Take hold of the door and pull it
open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with laun-
dry.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creasing.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in
the drum.
Mixing both large and small items
gives better wash results and also
helps distribute the load evenly during
spinning.
Tip: Please note the maximum load for
different wash programs.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
3. Select a program
19
Program selection
The washing machine is switched on by
turning the program selector to a wash
program.
Turn the program selector to the re-
quired program.
The estimated wash time is shown on
the time display and the pre-set tem-
perature and spin speed light up in the
control field.
Selecting a temperature and spin
speed
The wash program’s pre-set tempera-
ture and spin speed light up brightly.
The choice of temperatures and spin
speeds selectable for the wash pro-
gram light up dimly.
Touch the sensor button for the tem-
perature desired. It will then light up
brightly.
Touch the sensor button for the spin
speed desired. It will then light up
brightly.
3. Select a program
20
Selecting extra options
The selection of extra options avail-
able for the wash program lights up
dimly.
Touch the sensor button for the re-
quired extra option. It will then light
up brightly.
Tip: You can select multiple extra op-
tions for a wash program.
Please refer to “Extra options” for
more information.
4. Adding detergent
21
Detergent dispenser drawer
This washing machine requires high ef-
ficiency detergent. Adhere strictly to the
dispensing amounts supplied by the
detergent manufacturer. The detergents
must be marked with the following la-
bel:
Filling with detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add
detergents to the compartments.
Chlorine bleach for removing
stains or liquid detergent for the
pre-wash
Detergent for the main wash and
soaking
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or
capsules
Tips for dispensing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the maxi-
mum load. Reduce the amount of de-
tergent with smaller loads (e.g., reduce
the amount of detergent by ⅓ when
washing a half load).
Too little detergent:
– The laundry is not cleaned properly
and may become gray and hard to
the touch over time.
– Can lead to a build-up of mould 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.
Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids (e.g., balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent, particu-
larly when using liquid detergent.
4. Adding detergent
22
Using chlorine bleach
Damage due to chlorine bleach.
Textiles may be discolored or their
fibers damaged.
Only use chlorine bleach on suitable
textiles.
Chlorination must be activated in the
programmable functions before chlo-
rine bleach is first used.
Chlorine bleach may be used in the
following programs:
– Normal
– Wrinkle-free
– Sanitize
– Dress Shirts
– Extra White
Dispensing chlorine bleach
Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions on the packaging.
The extra option pre-wash must not
be selected.
Pour max. ¼ cup (60ml) of chlorine
bleach into the chamber.
The chlorine bleach is added automati-
cally 10minutes before the end of the
main wash.
Using powder detergent
The detergent dispenser drawer con-
tains an insert for liquid detergent in the
compartment. This insert must be
removed to use powder detergent.
It is not possible to use powder de-
tergent in the compartment.
A pre-wash cannot be carried out
when using powder detergent.
Remove the detergent dispenser
drawer.
Remove the insert for liquid deter-
gents from the compartment.
Tip: Reinsert the insert into the deter-
gent dispenser drawer before next us-
ing liquid detergent.
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.
4. Adding detergent
23
Using fabric softener and liquid
starch
Fabric softeners
make garments soft to handle and help
prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Liquid starch
is synthetic and provides good stiffness
to fabric.
Natural starch
stiffens and gives body to fabric.
Adding fabric softener
Add the fabric softener or the liquid
starch to the compartment. Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
final rinse cycle. At the end of the pro-
gram, a small amount of water remains
in the compartment.
If starching frequently, clean the dis-
penser compartment, especially the
siphon, regularly.
CapDosing
Three different types of capsule are
available:
= Fabric care (e.g., fabric soft-
ener, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g., detergent en-
hancers)
= Detergent (for the main wash
only)
Each capsule contains the correct
amount for one wash cycle.
Capsules are available to order from
Miele’s online store, Miele customer
service, or your Miele dealer.
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be
hazardous to health if they are swal-
lowed or come into contact with
skin.
Keep capsules out of the reach of
children.
Switching on CapDosing
Touch the sensor button for the cap-
sule you want to use.

Cleaning and care
40
Cleaning the drum
(hygiene info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or us-
ing liquid detergent can cause bacteria
and unpleasant odors to build up in the
washing machine. Use the Sanitize pro-
gram to clean the machine. This should
be done at the latest when the indicator
light comes on.
Cleaning the housing and con-
trol panel
Risk of electric shock.
Mains voltage is present when the
washing machine is switched off
Disconnect the machine from the
electricity supply before cleaning or
maintenance.
Risk of damage due to ingress of
water.
The pressure of a water jet can
cause water to get into the washing
machine, resulting in damage to
components.
Do not spray the washing machine
with a water jet when hosing down.
Clean the housing and control panel
with a mild cleaning agent or soap
and water and dry both with a soft
cloth.
The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable stainless steel cleaning agent
following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions on the packaging.
Damage due to cleaning agents.
Do not use solvents, abrasive clean-
ers, glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaning agents. These might dam-
age plastic surfaces and other com-
ponents because of the chemicals
they contain.
Do not use any of these cleaning
agents.
Cleaning the detergent dis-
pensing drawer
Washing at low temperatures and the
use of liquid detergent can lead to a
build-up of bacteria in the detergent
dispenser drawer.

Frequently asked questions
49
Poor wash results
Problem Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergent is not
achieving the required
results.
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching
agents. Consequently, fruit, coffee, and tea stains
cannot always be removed.
Use powder detergent containing a bleaching
agent.
Use the appropriate capsule or add stain removers
to the compartment.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to-
gether in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Gray, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The
laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils, oint-
ments).
Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with
this type of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run a Normal 60°C
program with liquid detergent but without a load.
White residues which
look like powder deter-
gent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
have ended up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
In the future, wash dark textiles using a detergent
which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do
not usually contain zeolites.
Use the Darks/Denim program to wash the textiles.

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface for this machine. It is
far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or
a carpeted surface.
Installation
58
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 unit on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x
1
3
/
16
“ (61 x 61 x 3 cm) plywood base.
Ideally the base should be large
enough to span several joists and
should be anchored to the joists and
not just the floor boards.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner. This is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately
secured.
During installation, the washing ma-
chine must be secured on a raised
plinth to be made available on site
(concrete or brick), in order to ensure

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washing machine
and its surroundings from water dam-
age.
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 pres-
sure of more than 1,015psi
(7,000kPa).
Electronic module and washing ma-
chine 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 ex-
ceeds 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 ventila-
tion system which prevents the washing
machine from being emptied com-
pletely.
Installation
66
Water intake
The washing machine can be con-
nected to a portable water supply. A
non-return valve is not needed unless
required by building code.
The washing machine has ½“ (13 mm)
pressure hoses with ¾” (19 mm) female
hose thread connections. If there is no
water hookup, contact a plumber to in-
stall 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 with-
stand up to 145 psi (10.000 kPa) pres-
sure. The water valve connector must
also be able to withstand 145 psi
(10.000 kPa).
The bolted connection is under
water pressure. Open the water sup-
ply slowly to check for leaks. Adjust
the rubber seal and the bolted con-
nection if necessary.
To protect the inlet valve, the two fil-
ters (one at the pressure hose / valve
connection and one at the inlet con-
nection to the solenoid valve) must
not be removed.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 1,015psi (7,000kPa) should you
ever need a replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of
the inlet hose and another in the in-
take point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.
Installation
67
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 3.2ft (1m) delivery head.
For the water to drain freely, the hose
must be installed free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to
a length of up to 16.4ft (5m). Acces-
sories are available from your Miele
dealer or the Miele Technical Service.
Drainage options:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure!
– If the water is pumped into a sink,
be sure that it can drain away
quickly enough. Otherwise there is
a risk of water overflowing or of
some of the drained water being
sucked back into the machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no
need to use a non-return valve).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain.
4. Connected securely to a sink with a
plastic nipple.
