Warning and Safety instructions  
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 frequency) 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this  
basic safety requirement is observed 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 machine (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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
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.  
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a  
~
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.  
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply in the  
~
event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.  
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 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.  
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.  
~
on a ship).  
Do not make any alterations to the washing machine, unless  
~
authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions  
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 and connection"). 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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
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.  
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  
explosion hazard.  
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing  
~
benzine, 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 detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them  
~
thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. 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 detergent.

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.  
The following are selected via the  
display:

Before using for the first time  
Setting the language  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Reminder to remove transit bars  
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.  
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.  
Using detergent could result in an  
excessive build-up of foam.  
^ After removing the transit bars (if this  
has not already been done by your  
fitter), press the Start/Stop button.  
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.  
Running your first programme  
Run the Cottons r programme  
without any laundry and without  
detergent.  
^ Press the K button in.  
^ Open the stopcock.  
If the washing machine is being  
switched on for the first time, the  
welcome screen will appear.  
^ Press the Start/Stop button.  
^ At the end of the programme switch  
the machine off.  
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.  
The machine is now ready for use.

for the programme you are using.  
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of  
soiling of the laundry.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– When smaller amounts of laundry are  
washed, the automatic load  
recognition system will reduce the  
amount of water, time and energy  
used. This may mean that the time  
left shown in the display is adjusted  
during the course of the wash

Choosing the correct extra option  
(Short, Pre-wash and Pre-wash +  
soak)  
Select:  
– Use the Express 20 programme for  
small loads.  
– A wash programme together with the  
Short extra option for light to normal  
soiling where there are no obvious  
marks.  
– Modern detergents make it possible  
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g  
20°C). Washing using lower  
temperature settings will save  
energy.  
– A wash programme without any extra  
options for normal to heavy soiling  
with visible staining.  
– To maintain the hygiene of the  
washing machine carry out a hot  
wash (60°C or above) using powder  
detergent at regular intervals. The  
Hygiene info message will appear in  
the display to remind you to carry out  
a hot wash.  
– A wash programme together with the  
Pre-wash + Soak extra option for  
very heavily soiled laundry.  
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry  
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,  
sand).  
When drying with a tumble dryer  
Selecting the highest possible spin  
speed for the wash programme will

ASort the laundry  
,Do not use solvent-based  
cleaning agents in or on this machine.  
^ Sort the laundry by colour and by  
care label. Most garments have a  
textile care label in the collar or side  
seam.  
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.

components in the machine.  
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:  
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar  
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or  
sewn in.  
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. 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!  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn  
inside out, if recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated  
with liquid detergent, stain removers  
etc. first, following the manufacturer's  
instructions. With particularly stubborn  
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.  
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent  
small items from being rolled up  
inside them.  
Do not wash any items in this machine  
which are specified by the  
manufacturer as not washable on the  
care label. (h symbol)

Detergent  
The correct detergent  
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.  
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets  
are suitable for full loads, but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for  
smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others, and may not be  
suitable for programmes with short durations.  
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!  
Instructions for use and recommended dosage amounts are given on the  
detergent packaging.  
See "Optional accessories" at the end of this booklet for details of Miele  
branded care products including detergents and fabric conditioner.

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Transporting the washing machine to  
its installation site  
A concrete floor is the most suitable  
installation surface for a washing  
machine, being far less prone to  
vibration during the spin cycle than  
wooden floorboards or a carpeted  
surface.  
To manoeuvre the machine out of its  
packing case to its installation site, hold  
it by the edge of the lid where it  
protrudes to the rear of the machine as  
well as by the handle recesses at the  
front.  
Please note:  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the  
machine from slipping during the  
spin cycle.  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely positioned.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
Removing the transit bars  
If installing on a wooden joist floor:  
^ We recommend a plywood base (at  
least 59x52x3 cm). The base should  
span several joists and be bolted to  
the joists and not only to the  
floorboards. Check for the presence  
of pipes and cables first.  
If possible, install the machine in a  
corner, as this is usually the most stable  
part of the floor.  
,If the machine is installed on a  
raised plinth, it has to be secured  
against slippage during spin using  
retaining clips (available from the  
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving and falling off the plinth.  
^ To remove the left and right covers  
1. Pull on the attached stopper,  
2. then use a screwdriver to release the  
catch at the top.

,To avoid the risk of injury the  
holes for the transit bars must be  
covered after the transit bars have  
been removed.  
^ Secure the transit bars to the back of  
the washing machine. Make sure that  
the top catch is located above the  
holder.  
,The machine must not be moved  
without the transit bars in place.  
Store them as shown or keep them  
in a safe place for future use. They  
must be re-fitted if the machine is to  
be moved again (e.g. when moving  
house).  
^ Plug the holes with the plastic caps  
as illustrated.

Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
The machine must stand perfectly level  
on all four feet to ensure safe and  
proper operation.  
Incorrect installation may increase  
electricity and water consumption and  
may cause the machine to move about.  
Screwing out and adjusting the feet  
The four adjustable screw feet are used  
to level the machine. All four feet are  
screwed in when the machine is  
delivered.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counternut 2 again  
using the spanner supplied until it  
sits firmly up against the housing.  
,All four counternuts must be  
firmly up against the housing. Please  
also check this for the feet which did  
not need adjustment. Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving about.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counternut 2 in a clockwise direction.  
Then turn counternut 2 together with  
foot 1 to unscrew.

The Miele water protection  
system  
– 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.  
The Miele water protection system  
protects the washing machine from  
water damage.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
3) Drain hose  
1) the inlet hose  
The drain hose is protected by a  
ventilation system which prevents the  
washing machine from being  
emptied completely.  
2) the electronic unit and the washing  
machine housing  
3) the drain hose  
1) Inlet hose  
The inlet hose is tested to withstand  
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.  
2) 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 safety valves,  
preventing any more water flowing  
into the machine and water in the  
suds container is pumped away.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the water  
supply  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the  
open end of the inlet hose, one at  
the inlet point in the machine - must  
not be removed.  
The machine should be connected to a  
mains water supply in accordance with  
local and national safety regulations.  
The German authorities do not require it  
to have a non-return valve as the  
Extension hose  
washing machine has been designed  
to comply with DIN regulations.  
– Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length  
are available from your Miele dealer  
or the Miele Spare Parts Department  
as optional extras.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between  
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher  
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a  
pressure reducing valve.  
Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should  
be fitted by a qualified plumber.  
,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 union if appropriate.  
The washing machine is not suitable  
for connection to a hot water supply.  
Maintenance and care  
Only use a genuine Miele hose should  
you ever need a replacement or  
extension. These are tested to  
withstand pressure of at least  
7,000 kPa.

Connection to the drainage  
system  
Please note:  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The  
drain hose must not be kinked as this  
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at  
the end of the hose can be turned in  
either direction, or can be detached if  
required, with a sharp twist and pull.  
If required, the drain hose can be  
extended to a length of 5 m. The  
necessary parts can purchased from
