machines often contain materials
which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no

This washing machine conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however,
lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the washing machine,
please read these instructions
carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important
information on its installation, safety,
use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
~
This washing machine is for
domestic use only and can only be
used to wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer to be
machine-washable on the wash care
label, and textiles composed of
hand-washable wool or wool blend
fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and
other hand-washable garments.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
~
This washing machine is not
intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised whilst using it or
have been shown how to use it by a
person responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~
Keep children away from the
washing machine at all times. It is not a
toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not
allow children to play on or near it or to
play with its controls. Supervise
children whilst you are using it.
~
Older children may only use the
washing machine if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
~
For machines with a 'porthole' door,
remember that the porthole glass will
be hot when washing at very high
temperatures.
Do not let children touch it.
Warning and Safety instructions
6
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the washing
machine, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
washing machine.
~
Before connecting the washing
machine, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and
connected load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this washing
machine can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and
where there is any doubt the household
wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
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 supply
by an extension lead. Extension leads
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
purposes, the washing machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
it is switched off at the mains, or
the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the
screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~
This washing machine must only be
connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hoses must
not be re-used.
~
In countries where there are 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
~
This washing machine may only be
used in mobile installations such as
ships if a risk assessment of the
installation has been carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.
~
Do not make any alterations to the
washing machine, unless authorised to
do so by Miele.
Correct use
~
Do not install your washing machine
in rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may
burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below freezing point.
~
Before using the washing machine
for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see section on
"Installation"). 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 container, drum), which in
turn can result in damage to the
laundry.
~
If the correct amount of detergent is
dispensed, the machine should not
need to be descaled. If, however, you
do wish to descale the machine only
use proprietary non-corrosive descaling
agents and strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging. A
special descaling agent is available to
order from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
~
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in the
machine.
~
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
in this machine, as this may result in
damage to component parts and create
toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a
fire and explosion hazard.
~
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
to clean the outside surfaces of this
machine. They can cause damage to
plastic surfaces.
~
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in a domestic washing machine. Always
observe the manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
~
Colour run and dye removers
contain sulphur compounds which can
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
~
If liquid detergent comes into
contact with the eyes, rinse them
thoroughly with lukewarm water imme
-
diately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the
packaging or label for reference. Those
with skin problems or sensitive skin
should avoid their skin coming into
contact with liquid detergent.
~
Only remove laundry from the
washing machine once the drum has
stopped turning. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous
and could result in injury.
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.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

The following are selected via the
display:
wash temperature
spin speed
programmable functions
cancellation of a programme
safety lock
The display also shows:
the programme duration
the programme sequence
Programme duration
After the start of a programme, the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display in hours and
minutes.
During the first 8 minutes the washing
machine measures how much water is
being absorbed by the laundry and
uses this to calculate the load. The
programme duration may be longer or
shorter depending on this absorbency
rate.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to tailor washing programmes to
suit your individual requirements. In
programming mode, the display will
show the function selected.
Operating the washing machine
11
Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
This washing machine has
undergone a thorough functional test
in the factory and there will be some
residual water in the drum from this
process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To
activate the spinning function you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an
excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.
^
Press the I-On/0-Off button in.
If the washing machine is being
switched on for the first time, the
welcome screen will appear.
The welcome screen will appear in
the display every time the machine is
switched on until a programme
lasting longer than 1 hour has been
completed.
Setting the language
You will be asked to select the
language you require for the display. It
is possible to change the language at
any time via the programmable
functions.
! deutsch
^
If the language shown is not the one
you want, select the language you do
want by turning the programme
selector. Confirm your selection by
pressing the Start/Stop button.
Reminder to remove transit bars
To avoid the risk of damage, the
transit bars must be removed before
the machine is used for the first time.
See "Installation and connection" for
instructions on how to do this.
^ After removing the transit bars (if this
has not already been done by your
fitter), press the Start/Stop button.
Running your first programme
Run a Cottons 60°C programme without
any laundry and without detergent.
^
Open the stopcock.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
At the end of the programme switch
the machine off.
The machine is now ready for use.
Before using for the first time
12
,
To avoid the risk of injury the
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
^
Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure that
holes b are fitted over retainers a.
