Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that theconnection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage andfrequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt,consult a qualified electrician.

Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only beassured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.


9

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only beguaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effectiveearthing system which complies with current local and nationalsafety regulations. It is most important that this basic safetyrequirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is anydoubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by aqualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for theconsequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electricshock).

Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricitysupply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These donot guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due tothe risk of overheating).

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance whenMiele replacement parts are used.

The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation sothat the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply ifnecessary.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for theuser, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only beundertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise anysubsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by aMiele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.


10

In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washingmachine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

11

Correct use

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a riskof frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of theelectronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures belowfreezing point.

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transitbars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see “Installationand connection - Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, atransit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both themachine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time(e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in theimmediate vicinity.

Flooding danger. If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water candrain off quickly enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Makesure the drain hose is secure, so that the force of the water flowingout 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. sudscontainer, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.


12

Take care when opening the drum door after using the steamfunction. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam andthe high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as theporthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until thesteam has dissipated.

The maximum load for this washing machine is 9 kg (dry weight).See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loadsfor individual programmes.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machineshould not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descaleit, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent.Miele recommends using Miele descaler for washing machineswhich is available to order online at shop.miele.com (depending oncountry) or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on thepackaging.

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaningagents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before beingwashed in the machine.

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containingbenzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to componentparts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire andexplosion hazard.

TwinDos

21

The washing machine has an integrateddetergent dispensing unit.

The TwinDos system can be used intwo ways:

1. with the Miele 2 Phase System

or

2. with conventional liquid detergentand/or fabric softener

The Miele 2 Phase System

The Miele 2 Phase System uses a basedetergent (UltraPhase 1) and adetergent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). Forthe best washing result, these twoagents are dispensed at separate timesduring the washing process. The 2Phase System cleans both white andcoloured textiles thoroughly.UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 singleuse cartridges are available to orderfrom Miele or via the internet atshop.miele.com (see end of this bookletfor details).

Liquid detergent/Fabric softener

Refillable TwinDos containers arerequired for liquid detergent and/orfabric softener. These are available toorder from Miele or via the internet atshop.miele.com (see end of this bookletfor details).

How TwinDos works

Automatic detergent dispensing for awash cycle is activated via the Dos sensor.

Useful tip: The washing machine isdelivered preset for the Miele 2 Phasesystem for hardness range I ().

The settings only need to be changed ifyou wish to use a different detergent orif the water hardness is different.See “Settings menu - TwinDos” formore detailed information.

Automatic dispensing cannot beselected with some programmes,depending on the detergent present inthe TwinDos system. For example,automatic dispensing cannot beactivated for the Woollens programme ifthe Miele 2 Phase system is beingused. This prevents woollen garmentsbeing damaged by a detergent which isnot suitable for washing wool.

Do not fill the containers with anyspecialist detergents. Use capdosing or the detergent dispenserdrawer for these.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energyusage are determined by the size ofthe load. To make the most out of yourmachine, load the maximum dry loadfor the programme you are using.

– When smaller amounts of laundry arewashed, the automatic loadrecognition system will reduce theamount of water and energy used.

– Use the Express 20 programme forsmall, lightly soiled loads.

– Modern detergents make it possibleto wash at lower temperatures (e.g.20°C). Washing using lowertemperature settings will save energy.

– To maintain the hygiene of themachine, carry out a hot wash (above60°C) using powder detergent atregular intervals. Hygiene info willappear in the display to remind youto carry out a hot wash.

– Use the hot water connection to saveenergy.

Detergent consumption

– For precise dispensing, useautomatic detergent dispensing.

– Adjust the dosage to the degree ofsoiling of the laundry.

– Do not exceed the amounts ofdetergent recommended by themanufacturer on the packaging.

– laundry not getting properly cleanand with time it may become greyand hard to the touch.

– greasy particles clinging to thelaundry.

– limescale deposits on the heaterelements.

Too much detergent results in:

– excessive foam which causes a lowlevel of agitation and poor wash,rinse and spin results.

– high water consumption (anadditional rinse cycle willautomatically switch in).

– a burden to the environment.

Steam smoothing Steam is injected into the drum at theend of the wash process. Reducing themaximum load by 50% will give a betterresult. For steam smoothing to workproperly there needs to be a certainamount of residual moisture still presentin the laundry. The final spin speed istherefore adjusted accordingly.

The garments must be suitable fordrying in a tumble dryer andsuitable for ironing .

ShortFor light soiling with no visible staining.

The wash duration is reduced.

StainsIn order to clean stained laundry moreeffectively, you can choose from a listof various types of stains. The washprogramme will then adapt to the typesof stains selected. You can select amaximum of three stains per washcycle.

The factory default setting is 30minutes.

Rinse hold

The laundry is not spun after the finalrinse and remains in the final rinsewater. This helps prevent creasing if thelaundry is not going to be removed fromthe drum immediately after the end ofthe programme.

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt,e.g. dust and sand.

Water plus

The water level in the main wash andthe rinses will be increased if the Waterplus Extra option is selected.

The programme sequences outlined inthe chart are based on the basicprogramme with a full load.

The washing machine programmesequence display shows which stage ofthe programme has been reached.

Special features in theprogramme sequenceAnti-crease:At the end of the programme the drumcontinues to turn at intervals for up to30 minutes to help prevent creasing.Exception: There is no anti-creasephase in the Woollens and Silks programmes.The door can be opened at any timeduring the anti-crease phase.1) If a temperature of 60°C or higher is

selected, and with and ,two rinses are carried out. If atemperature of less than 60°C isselected, three rinses are carried out.

2) An additional rinse is carried out if:

– there is too much foam in the drum.

– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm hasbeen selected.

– the spin speed as been deselected.3) An additional rinse is carried out if:

Programme sequence

56

Cottons and Minimum ironPowerWash 2.0, the washing techniquedeveloped by Miele, is activated in theCottons programme with small andmedium-sized loads and in theMinimum iron programme.

How it works

Conventional washing techniques washwith more water than the laundry canabsorb. This total volume of waterneeds to be heated.

The PowerWash 2.0 washing techniqueonly uses slightly more water than thelaundry can absorb. The water whichhas not been absorbed by the laundryheats up the drum and the laundry andis sprayed into the laundry over andover again. This reduces the amount ofenergy used.

Activation

The washing machine calculates theload at the beginning of the washprogramme. PowerWash 2.0 isactivated if the following conditions arepresent:

– There is a small to medium-sizedlaundry load in the Cottonsprogramme or in the Minimum ironprogramme.

– The temperature selected does notexceed 60°C.

– The final spin speed selected mustnot be lower than 600 rpm.

– CapDosing (, ) has not beenselected for the main wash.

With some options (e.g. Pre-wash,Water plus) PowerWash 2.0 is notactivated.

Special features

– Drenching phaseThe washing machine will spin a fewtimes at the beginning of theprogramme. During spinning, thewater discharged is sprayed backinto the laundry in order to achieveoptimum moisture penetration.

The optimum water level is set at theend of the drenching phase. Ifnecessary, the washing machine willpump water away and take in a littlemore fresh water.

– Noises during the heating phaseUnusual bubbling noises can occurwhile the laundry and the drum arebeing heated.

– DetergentDispense the correct amount ofdetergent (with smaller loads).For optimum detergent application,use the TwinDos function.

The correct detergentAll detergents produced for automaticfront loading washing machines aresuitable. Follow the manufacturer'sinstructions and dosagerecommendations on the packaging.

The right amount to dispensewill depend on the following:– The soiling level of the laundry.

– The quantity of laundry.

– The water hardness level. Check withyour local water authority if you donot know the water hardness level inyour area.

Detergent dispensing aidsUse dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if theseare supplied with the detergent,particularly when using liquid detergent.

Refill packs of detergentWhen purchasing detergent, buy refillpacks wherever possible. This helpsreduce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric softeners and liquidstarchFabric softeners make garments soft to handle and helpprevent static cling when tumble drying.

Fabric shapers are synthetic starches and give an evenstiffer hold.

Starch stiffens and gives body to items oflaundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bedlinen.

This is not a fault.These noises occur when steam is being generatedand when steam is being injected into the drum.


78

An unsatisfactory wash result


Liquid detergent doesnot give the requiredresult.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleachingagents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and teastains. Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted

addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash processremoves stains effectively.

Use a general purpose powder detergentcontaining a bleaching agent.

Grey, greasy particlescling to washed laundry.

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to breakdown the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry. Use more detergent or liquid detergent. Before washing the next load, run the Clean

machine programme using the Miele IntenseCleanwashing machine cleaner or a powder detergent.

White residues whichlook like powderdetergent are seen ondark textiles afterwashing.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aidwater softening which are not soluble in water. Thesehave ended up on the laundry. Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush

once the laundry is dry. Wash dark textiles using a detergent which does

not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually donot contain zeolites.

Use the Dark garments programme.

Installation surfaceA concrete floor is the most suitableinstallation surface for a washingmachine, being far less prone tovibration during the spin cycle thanwooden floorboards or a carpetedsurface.

Please note:

The machine must be level andsecurely positioned.

To avoid vibrations during spinning,the machine should not be installedon soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor:

We recommend a plywood base (atleast 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The baseshould span several joists and bebolted to the joists and not only to thefloorboards. Check for the presenceof pipes and cables first.

Useful tip: If possible, install themachine in a corner, as this is usuallythe most stable part of the floor.

Transporting the washingmachine to its installation site

Make sure the fixings at the backof the lid are secure.Otherwise there is a danger of the lidbeing pulled off when carrying theappliance.Before carrying the appliance, checkthat the lid is secure where itprotrudes at the back of theappliance.

Carry the washing machine by thefront feet and the protruding lid at theback.

Removing the transit bars

Remove the left and right covers.

1. Pull off the transit bar covers and

2. then use a screwdriver to release thecatches at the top and bottom.


86

Using the spanner supplied, turn theleft-hand transit bar 90°, then

withdraw the transit bar.

Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,then

withdraw the transit bar.


87

To avoid the risk of injury, theholes for the transit bars must becovered after the transit bars havebeen removed.

Fit the covers onto the two holes.

Secure the transit bars to the back ofthe washing machine. Make sure thetop catch is located above the holder.

The washing machine must notbe moved without the transit bars inplace. Store them as shown or keepthem in a safe place for future use.They must be refitted if the machineis to be moved again (e.g. whenmoving house).

Refitting the transit barsRefitting is carried out by reversing theprocedure.


88

Levelling the machineThe washing machine must standperfectly level on all four feet to ensuresafe and proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increaseelectricity and water consumption andmay cause the machine to move about.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

The four adjustable screw feet are usedto level the machine. All four feet arescrewed in when the machine isdelivered.

Using the spanner supplied, turncounter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.Then turn counter nut 2 together withfoot 1 to unscrew.

Use a spirit level to check that thewashing machine is standing level.

Hold foot 1 securely with a pipewrench. Turn counter nut 2 anti-clockwise using the spanner supplieduntil it sits firmly up against thehousing.

All four counter nuts must befirmly up against the housing. Pleasealso check this for the feet which didnot need adjustment. Otherwisethere is a danger of the machinemoving about.

a Two solenoid valves

b Double-skinned inlet hose

c Sump

d Float switch

e Electronic unit

f Drain pump

The inlet hoses

– The casing on the inlet hosescontains two solenoid valves ,which cut off the water intake directlyat the tap. These valves provide two-fold protection. In the event that oneof the valves is faulty, the other valvewill cut off the water intake.Blocking the water intake at the tapmeans that the inlet hoses are onlyunder pressure whilst water is beingtaken into the machine. For theremainder of the time, pressure onthe inlet hoses is negligible.

– Protection against the solenoidvalves bursting.The solenoid valves are pressuretested to between 7000 kPa and10000 kPa against bursting.

– The double-skinned inlet hoses have a pressure-resistant inner hoseand a protective sleeve. Any leakingwater is fed into the sump throughthis protective sleeve. A float switch closes the solenoid valves,preventing any more water flowinginto the machine and water in thesuds container is pumped away.


91

The electronic unit and drainageand overflow protection

– Drainage protectionAny leaking water is collected in thesump in the base of the machine.A float switch closes the solenoidvalves , preventing any more waterfrom flowing into the machine andwater in the suds container ispumped away.

– Overflow protectionIf the water level exceeds a certainlevel, the drain pump switches inand pumps the excess water away ina controlled manner.Should the water level rise repeatedlyin an uncontrolled way, the drainpump will switch on continuously,the washing machine will indicatethat there is a fault and a tone willsound.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by aventilation system which prevents thewashing machine from being emptiedcompletely.


92

Connection to the water supplyIMPORTANT Australia and NewZealand

This appliance must be installedaccording to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflowprevention is already integrated in theappliance.

The safety valves containelectrical components. They mustnot be connected in areas wherethere is the risk of water or otherliquids reaching them, e.gbathrooms.

The safety valves must not get wet.

The protective sleeve of the hosemust not be damaged or kinked.

The washing machine should beconnected to a mains water supply inaccordance with current local andnational safety regulations.

The machine is designed to operatewith a flow pressure of between 100and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than 1000kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer valve.

Connection to the water supply shouldincorporate taps with a ¾“ threadedunion. The taps should be fitted by aqualified plumber.

The connection points aresubject to mains water pressure.Turn on the taps slowly and checkfor leaks. Correct the position of thewasher and the union if appropriate.

Maintenance and care

Only use a Miele Waterproof systemhose should you need a replacement.

The union nut on the casing atthe end of the water inlet hosecontains a dirt filter which protectsthe solenoid valves.This dirt filter must not be removed.


93

This washing machine can be operatedwith cold mains water and/or hot water.

Markings of water intake hoses

Cold water (tapwater)

= Silver label

Hot water = Red label

For technical reasons, thewashing machine must always beconnected to cold mains water.

Cold water (tap water)

The washing machine is programmed tocold water operation at the factory.

The other water intake hose can befixed at the back of the appliance.

Hot water

– If you wish to use a hot waterconnection with the washingmachine, it must be reprogrammedas described in “Settings - Waterintake”.

– The temperature of hot water at themains water tap must not exceed60°C. The preferred temperature is55°C. Consult a plumber if thetemperature at the tap exceeds 60°C.

– Before connecting to the mains watertap, check that the outflow of coldwater does not exceed 5 litres. Eachadditional litre of cold water reducesthe energy efficiency.

– If the hot water tap is turned off forsome time, the washing machine willautomatically switch to the coldwater connection. This safetymeasure is not intended for thepermanent operation of theappliance. The washing machinecontinues to wash using hot wateroperation, but washing results areworsened.

– If the programmed temperature whenHot water MW + rinses is selected istoo low, the washing machineautomatically switches to cold wateroperation. In a programme withoutExtra options and without a part load,two rinses with an increased waterlevel are carried out to achieve agood rinsing result.

DrainageThe suds are drained through a drainpump with a 1 m delivery head. For thewater to drain freely, the hose must beinstalled free of kinks. The elbow piecesupplied hooks onto the end of thehose.If required, the hose can be extended toa length of up to 5 m. The necessaryparts can be ordered from Miele.

For a delivery head of more than 1 m(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacementdrain pump will need to be fitted.Please contact Miele for advice.If required, the hose can be extended toa length of up to 2.5 m. The necessaryparts can be ordered from Miele.

Drain hose connection:

1. Directed into a sink or basin:

Please note:

– Hook the hose over the edge andsecure it.

– If the water is pumped into awashbasin, make sure that it candrain away freely. Otherwise thereis a risk of water overflowing or ofsome of the drained water beingsucked back into the machine.

2. Connected securely to a plastic drainpipe with a rubber nipple (there is noneed to use a siphon).

3. Connected securely to a floor gully.

4. Connected securely to a washbasinwith a plastic nipple.

Consumption data

101

Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given depending on waterpressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, type andvolume of load, fluctuations in the electricity supply and any options selected.

With the PowerWash 2.0 washing technique, during the heating phase, thetemperature measured by the sensor in the suds container is higher than theactual temperature of the laundry.The temperature measured there does not reflect the temperature of thelaundry.

The consumption data shown in the EcoFeedback display can vary from theconsumption data quoted here. The variations arise from component tolerancesand on-site conditions e.g. fluctuations in the pressure of the water supply,mains voltage and fluctuations in the mains voltage.
