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.

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 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.
– 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 a high temp. program or
the "Clean Machine" program in the dis-
play.
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).
– Only use highly efficient 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.

consumption, even when the washing
machine is switched off.
Before installing the washing ma-
chine in its final location, ensure the
signal strength is sufficient for your
WiFi network.
Availability of the WiFi connection
The WiFi connection shares a frequency
range with other appliances (including
microwave ovens and remote control
toys). This can cause sporadic or even
complete connection failures. There-
fore, the availability of featured func-
tions 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.

20
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.

3. Loading the washing machine
23
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.

5. Adding detergent
27
There are several options for adding de-
tergent to the washing machine.
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.
5. Adding detergent
28
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
settings before chlorine bleach is first
used.
Chlorine bleach may be used in the
following programs:
– Normal
– Wrinkle-free
– Sanitize
– Dress Shirts
– Extra White
– Table Linens/Drapes
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.
5. Adding detergent
29
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.
Activating CapDosing
Touch the sensor button.
The following appears in the display:
OK
No Cap
Touch the sensor buttons until
the capsule you want appears in the
display.

Inserting a capsule
Open the detergent dispenser drawer.
Open the lid of the / compart-
ment.
Press the capsule in firmly.
Close the lid and press it firmly shut.
Close the detergent dispenser
drawer.
The capsule is opened by the act of
inserting it in the detergent dispenser
drawer. The contents can run out of
the capsule if you then remove it
from the drawer before it is used.
Dispose of opened capsules.
5. Adding detergent
31
The contents of the capsule will be
added to the wash program at the cor-
rect time.
During CapDosing, water intake to
the compartment takes place
solely via the capsule.
Do not add any additional fabric soft-
ener to the compartment.
Remove the empty capsule at the
end of the wash program.
For technical reasons, a small amount
of water will remain in the capsule.
Deactivating or changing CapDosing
CapDosing can only be deactivated or
changed prior to program start.
Touch the sensor button.
Select No Cap (deactivate) or a differ-
ent type of capsule (change).
Dyes / dye removers
Do not use dye removers in this
washer!
The use of dyes in the washer is recom-
mended only to a degree of usual
household use. The salt used for dying
may corrode the stainless steel with fre-
quent use.
Use only as directed by the manufac-
turer.

Frequently Asked Questions
57
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 liquid detergent with this
type of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run the Clean ma-
chine wash program using Miele clean machine or
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 in-
stallation 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 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
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 Technical Ser-
vice).
Transporting the washing ma-
chine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid.
The fixings at the back of the lid may
become brittle due to external cir-
cumstances. There is a danger of the
lid being pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the appliance, check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the appliance.

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.

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“ (13mm)
pressure hoses with ¾” (19mm) 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 (10.000kPa) pres-
sure. The water valve connector must
also be able to withstand 145 psi
(10.000kPa).
The bolted connection is under water
pressure. Open the water supply
slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the
rubber seal and the bolted connec-
tion if necessary.
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
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
Neither filter may be removed.

Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 3.2ft (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. Directly into a sink: Lay the hose
around the edge of the sink and se-
cure the drain hose so that it does
not slip (e.g., by securing the drain
hose to the faucet).
2. In a standpipe: Insert the drain hose
into standpipe with dimensions of
1½“ (Ø 4cm). Secure the drain hose
carefully to make sure it cannot slip.
3. In a floor drain: The washing machine
is designed with a gap (anti-siphon
system) which means that a mini-
mum drain height is not required.

increments. When the Soak extra option
is selected, the laundry will be soaked
for the duration selected.
The machine is delivered with a dura-
tion of 0:30hours.
Gentle action

tation is reduced. In this way, lightly
soiled items can be washed more gen-
tly.
Gentle action can be activated for the
Normal and the Wrinkle-free programs.
Gentle action is switched off in the de-
fault setting.
Temp. reduction
At high altitudes water has a lower
boiling point. Miele recommends acti-
vating the reduce temperature setting
at altitudes of or above 6560ft
(2,000m) to prevent water from boil-
ing. The maximum temperature is re-
duced to 176°F (80°C), even if a higher
temperature is selected.
The temperature reduction setting is
switched off in the default setting.
Settings

Maximum rinse level
The water level in the rinse can be
permanently set to the highest value.
This function is important for allergy
sufferers as it achieves excellent wash
results. The water consumption will be
increased.
The function is switched off in the de-
fault setting.
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 Nor-
mal program with a temperature setting
of Hot+ or higher is selected.
Suds cooling should 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 DIN 1986.
Suds cooling is switched off in the de-
fault setting.
Low water pressure
If the water pressure is below 14.5 psi
(100kPa), the program will be can-
celed and the fault message Drainage
See will appear.
If the on-site water pressure cannot be
increased, activating this function will
prevent the program from being can-
celed.
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 un-
locked and then opened at any time by
touching the Start/Stop sensor button.
Anti-crease is switched on in the default
setting.

Startbutton a new function. You set the
SmartGrid via the Delay Start button. The
washing machine will then start within
the timeframe specified by you when it
receives a signal from your energy sup-

run the RemoteUpdate will be displayed
again the next time you switch on your
washing machine.
The RemoteUpdate can take a few
minutes.
Please note the following information
about the RemoteUpdate function:
– You will only receive a message when
a RemoteUpdate is available.
– Once a RemoteUpdate has been in-
