Please dispose of it at your local com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre or contact your Dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.
6Warning and Safety instructions
This washing machine complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and dam‐
age to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine, please
read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time.
They contain important information on its safety, use and mainte‐
nance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future user.
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 incorrect or improper use or operation.
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 consequen‐
ces of incorrect operation.
7Warning and Safety instructions 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 connection" and "Technical data". Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine. 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 quali‐ fied electrician. Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. 8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 origi‐
nal 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 guar‐
antee.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
9Warning and Safety instructions 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 guarantee. 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. 10
Warning and Safety instructions
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
and connection - 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
immediate 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,
paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds contain‐
er, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
11Warning and Safety instructions 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 8 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-shop.com 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 wash‐ ed 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. 12
Warning and Safety instructions
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, guarantee, performance and product
liability 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-compli‐
ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the programme. Reducing the
maximum load by 50% will give a bet‐
ter result. Please note the load informa‐
tion in the display. Small loads give a
better result.
The garments must be suitable for dry‐
ing in a tumble dryer and suitable
for ironing .
Short
Use this option for light soiling with no
visible staining.
The wash duration is reduced.
Water plus
The water level in the wash and rinse
stages is increased and a second rinse
is carried out in the "Separate rinse /
Starch" programme.
You can select other functions for the
Water plus button. These are described
in "Settings".
Stains
In order to clean stained laundry more
effectively, you can choose between 7
different types of stain. The wash pro‐
gramme will then adapt to the type of
stain selected. You can select one stain
per wash cycle.
