Important safety instructions

WARNING – To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to per-

sons when using your appliance, fol-

low basic precautions, including the

following:

1. Read all instructions before using

the appliance.

2. Do not wash articles that have

been previously cleaned in,

washed in or soaked in gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive sub-

stances. They give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

3. Do not allow children to play on or

in the appliance. Close supervi-

sion is necessary when the ap-

pliance is used near children.

4. Before the appliance is removed

from service or discarded, remove

the door to the washing compart-

ment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if

the drum is moving.

6. Do not install or store this ap-

pliance where it will be exposed

to weather.

7. Do not tamper with the controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance, or attempt any ser-

vicing unless specifically recom-

mended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-

repair instructions that you under-

stand and have the skills to carry

out.

9. Do not add gasoline, dry-clean-

ing solvents, or other flammable

or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances

give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

10. Under certain conditions, hy-

drogen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, be-

fore using the washing machine,

turn on all hot water faucets and

let the water flow from each for

several minutes. This will release

any accumulated hydrogen gas.

As the gas is flammable, do not

smoke or use an open flame dur-

ing this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Refer to the Electrical Con-

nection Section for ground-

ing and installation instruc-

tions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Help protect our environment

Economical usage

The key to good wash results is finding

the correct combination of detergent

and temperature, and then allowing the

washing machine to optimize their

usage through its programming. Pro-

gram lengths can vary for this reason.

With the “Hydromatic” system, the

drum can revolve at various speeds.

Faster and slower agitation speeds,

along with pauses for soaking, com-

bine to ensure excellent results.

The automatic load control feature en-

sures the correct water level for the

type of fabric and load being washed

(even though it may appear as if there

is too little water in the drum!).

Because of the accurately balanced

drum and special sound insulation, ma-

chine noise is minimal while operating.

The fully electronic controls offer a com-

bination of simple operation with many

optional features. For instance, since a

main wash generally gives good results

for a normal load, the pre-wash cycle

has been made a user selectable op-

tion, saving time,water and energy over

older full cycle machines.

Economy

For optimum economical usage, re-

member the following tips:

– The automatic load control feature

will adjust the water level for loads

up to 11 lbs (5 kg). Washing with the

maximum load specified for each

program uses water and energy to

the best advantage.

– Use only the correct amount of deter-

gent required for the water hardness

in your area. Miele recommends the

use of powder detergents, as their

characteristics allow them to perform

better in this machine than liquid

detergents.

If the wash is not heavily stained, select

a lower temperature than indicated on

the wash care label.

Economical usage

Preparing the Laundry

The headings numbered (1,2,3,...)

show the operating sequence and can

be used as a brief guide.

Before washing

1Prepare the wash load

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g.

nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can

cause damage to clothes and the

machine.

Sort the laundry

Most garments have a Fabric care

label in the collar or side seam. Sort the

laundry by care label and color.

Only wash items that are labeled ma-

chine washable by the manufacturer.

Dark fabrics often contain “excess dye”

and should be washed separately sev-

eral times before being included in a

mixed load.

Delicate fabrics should be washed sep-

arately using a delicates program.

Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they

are labeled machine washable on the

textile care label.

Pre-treat the laundry

Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and

cuffs) and water soluble stains can be

pre-treated with bar soap, stain

remover, or detergent mixed into a solu-

tion or paste.

Do not use detergents containing sol-

vents in the machine.

Preparing the Laundry

2Press the “Door” button to open

the door

3Load the machine

Unfold the laundry and place it in the

drum. For best results we recommend

washing mixed loads consisting of both

large and small items. This improves

the washing effectiveness and helps

distribute the load evenly to keep the

machine stable and reduce noise dur-

ing spinning.

Recommended load sizes are noted

below:

COTTONS . . . . . . . . . . 11.0 lbs (5.0 kg)

PERMANENT PRESS . . 4.5 lbs (2.5 kg)

FINE/DELICATES . . . . . 2.0 lbs (1.0 kg)

WOOLENS. . . . . . . . . . . 2.0 lbs (1.0 kg)

FINE RINSE. . . . . . . . . 11.0 lbs (5.0 kg)

With curtains: Remove lead weights

and strips.

Woolens and knitted garments should

be turned inside out if recommended

by the manufacturer.

Changing the program sequence

Adding detergent

Powder detergent should be added to

compartment j (main wash) and com-

partment i (pre wash, if necessary) at

the beginning of each wash cycle. Due

to the Miele “Eco-System”, 1/3 to 1/2 the

manufacturer’s recommended amount

of detergent is generally sufficient for

excellent wash results.

Do not use chlorine bleach!

Water is taken in through compartment

j during the main wash. If your water

is extremely hard (above 400 ppm cal-

cium carbonate) and the capacity of

compartment j is insufficient for the

amount of detergent needed, a Service

Technician can reprogram the machine

so that water and detergent can also

be taken in through compartment i.

For small loads:

– Gradually reduce the amount of

detergent used with each small load.

– Check the wash results and the con-

dition of the laundry.

– If the laundry is not clean or if it is

gray or hard to the touch, add

slightly more detergent the next time

you use the machine.

It is important to add the cor-

rect amount of detergent, be-

cause...

...too little detergent can result in:

– gray laundry

– grease/stains not being removed

– lime deposits on the heater elements

and drum (in hard water areas).

...too much detergent can result in:

– excessive foam

– low level of agitation

– poor cleaning and rinsing results.

Water Softeners

If you wish to use a water softener to

cut down on detergent usage in hard

water areas:

– add the amount of detergent necess-

ary for a soft water area.

– Add the specified amount of water

softener per the manufacturers re-

commendation.

Always add the detergent first, in com-

partments i and j followed by the

softener, to ensure that both are

properly dispensed.

Adding detergent

Adding fabric softener or starch

If fabric softener is desired, it will work

more effectively and be gentler on the

clothes if it is dispensed in the final

rinse cycle of the wash, rather than in

the tumble dryer through the use of sof-

tener sheets. To automatically dispense

fabric softener:

Open the lid of compartment p.

Pour an amount of liquid fabric sof-

tener into compartment p according

to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not exceed the maximum fill level

marked inside the compartment, as

any excess will prematurely activate

the siphon and be wasted.

Close the compartment lid and push

in the dispenser drawer.

The softener will automatically be dis-

pensed during the last rinse cycle.

At the end of the program a small

amount of water will normally remain in

compartment p. A high water level in

this compartment, however, may indi-

cate that the siphon is clogged or the

dispenser drawer was opened during

the last rinse cycle, thereby interrupting

the distribution of fabric softener. In this

case, the siphon tube should be

cleaned as described on Page 21.

Starch

Starching can be done as a separate

cycle (see below) or can be included in

any wash program during the final rinse.

Never mix fabric softener and starch

together in compartment p. This can

cause the overflow system to malfunc-

tion.

If starch is used for shirts, blouses,

table cloths, napkins, etc., pour the

liquid starch into compartment p (use

the same procedure as for fabric sof-

tener).

Using the “Starch” program to dis-

pense liquid starch.

– Prepare the starch solution in accor-

dance with the manufacturer’s in-

structions and pour it into compart-

ment p.

– Use the normal water level (Water

Plus button “out”) when starching so

that the solution will have the maxi-

mum effect.

“Without final spin” can be selected to

reduce fabric creasing.

Graduated spin:

The speed is gradually increased, until the final spin speed is reached.

Final spin:

The maximum spin speed is held constant for a fixed period of time.

In the program PERMANENT PRESS, WOOLENS and Fine rinse the spin speed is automatically

limited to 900 rpm and in the FINE/DELICATES program to 600 rpm, even if the selector has been

set to a higher speed. A lower speed can also be selected.

Woolens:

Wool is susceptible to damage when it is wet. Agitation times during the program are shorter,

and the drum rotates slower.

“Without final spin”:

At the end of the final rinse the wash remains suspended in water if the SPIN SPEED SETTING is

set to “Without final spin”. This helps reduce creasing if the laundry will not be removed immedi-

ately at the end of the cycle.

Cleaning the washing machine

Clean the casing with a mild non-

abrasive detergent or soap and

water, and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Clean the control panel with a damp

cloth.

The drum can be cleaned using a

stainless steel cleaner according to

the manufacturer’s instructions.

A stainless steel cleaner specially for-

mulated for use in washing ma-

chines is available from the Miele

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sol-

vents.

Cleaning the detergent drawer.

Should the detergent drawer become

clogged or dirty, it can be cleaned as

follows:

Pull out the drawer until it stops.

Press down the red release lever

and, at the same time, pull the

drawer out of the machine.

Clean the dispenser compartments

and the fabric softener duct.

Remove the siphon tube from com-

partment p and rinse in warm water.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drain pump and

lint trap.

Occasionally small objects, (buttons,

coins, etc.), may find their way into the

lint trap. It is a good idea to occasion-

ally check the lint trap to ensure that it

is free of foreign objects.

To clean the lint trap, remove the tool

from behind the detergent dispenser

drawer.

Open the machine door.

Open the lint trap door.

Place a 2 quart capacity container

underneath the drain tube.

Turn the lint trap lid counterclockwise

2 - 3 times. Do not remove it. Ap-

prox. 2 quarts of water will drain out

of the hose.

If the main drain hose is clogged, more

water will be retained in the machine

(max. 6.5 gal/25l). In this case, tighten

the lint trap lid and empty the dish be-

fore repeating the procedure as often

as necessary.

Caution: If laundry has been

washed at a high temperature, the

water draining out of the machine

will still be hot! Stop and allow it to

cool before proceeding.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and Care

Once the flow of water stops,

remove the lint trap and clean it.

Remove any foreign objects or lint.

Turn the drain pump impeller (in the

back of the chamber) by hand to

check that it rotates freely. Any

foreign objects should be removed.

Clean inside of the lint trap housing.

Remove any detergent deposits or

foreign objects from the thread of the fil-

ter housing and filter unit before replac-

ing the lint trap.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters.

The washing machine has two water

inlet filters to protect each inlet valve.

To clean the filter in the inlet hose:

Turn off the valve.

Carefully unscrew the inlet hose from

the valve by turning the connector

counterclockwise using a wrench if

necessary.

Remove the rubber seal from the

connector.

Using needle nose pliers, grasp the

plastic filter and pull it out of the

hose connector. Clean the filter

under running water and carefully

remove any large particles.

Replace the filter and seal and recon-

nect the hose. Slowly turn on the

valve and check for leaks.

Inspect the inlet hose regularly. The

hose should be replaced if there are

small cracks in the surface, or if it has

been otherwise damaged or cut.

If a replacement is necessary, use only

a genuine Miele inlet hose as other

hoses may burst under pressure.

To clean the filter in the inlet valve:

Using a wrench, carefully loosen and

remove the plastic hose connector

on the inlet valve.

Using needle nose pliers, withdraw

the plastic filter by pulling on the bar

(see illustration). Rinse under water

to clean, and then replace.

The two filters - one at the pressure

hose/valve connection and one at

the inlet connection to the solenoid

valve - must not be removed.

Problem solving guide

Opening the drum door in the

event of a power failure

Switch off the washing machine.

Remove the flap opener from behind

the detergent drawer facia panel.

Open the flap (in the machine plinth).

Place a dish or bowl under the spout.

Point the drain hose into the con-

tainer.

Remove the stopper.

Caution: if laundry has been

washed at a high temperature water

draining out of the machine will still

be hot!

The amount of water discharged de-

pends on the drainage height. A de-

livery head (e.g. 1 m) will mean there is

more water to drain. The container will

need to be emptied several times.

When no more water drains out

place the stopper back in the hose.

Problem solving guide

Pull the emergency door latch down-

wards using a spoon handle (see il-

lustration). The machine door will

then open.

Please note that: on machines with left

hand hingeing the emergency door

latch is located behind a second ac-

cess flap in the centre of the plinth.

Always make sure the drum is sta-

tionary before reaching in to the ma-

chine to remove washing. Reaching

into a moving drum is extremely

dangerous.

To check water pressure

Place a bucket under the stopcock.

Turn on the stopcock.

If 5 litres of water flow into the bucket in

15 seconds the water pressure is cor-

rect.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation

Installation surface

Experience has shown that a concrete

floor is the most suitable surface for a

washing machine. Concrete floors are

far less prone to vibration during the

spin cycle than wooden floors.

Please note the following points:

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 installation must be on a wooden

joist floor, we recommend the use of

a plywood base at least 11/4" thick

and 23 5/8" X 23 5/8" wide (30mm X

600mm X 600mm). Ideally the base

should be large enough to span sev-

eral joists and should be anchored

to the joists and not just the floor-

boards.

As a general rule, we recommend

the installation of the machine (or

washer/dryer stack) in the corner of

a room where the stability of the floor

is at its greatest.

If the machine is installed on a

raised platform, it should be secured

using retaining clips (available from

the Miele Parts Dept.). If installed on

a masonary or concrete base, the

base should be provided with a rim

1/2" to 3/4" (12-20 mm) high.

Installation

Lift the machine from its shipping pallet

and move it to the installation site.

Please note:

Do not lift the machine by the drum

door.

Ensure that the machine feet and the

floor are dry to prevent slippage dur-

ing the spin cycle.

Removing the shipping struts

Using adjustable pliers, pull out the

retaining clips on the right and left of

the support plate.

Turn the left-side shipping strut 90°

counterclockwise.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation

Installation

Turn the right-side shipping strut 90°

clockwise.

Withdraw the two struts together with

the support plate.

Plug the two holes with the plastic

caps supplied.

Movement of the machine without the

shipping struts in place should be kept

to a minimum.

The shipping struts should be

stored in a safe place for future use.

They must be reinstalled before the

machine is moved. Reinstallation

can be performed by reversing the

procedure.

Installation

Levelling the machine

The machine must be perfectly level to

ensure safe and proper operation.

If necessary adjust the front and back

legs as follows:

Unscrew the feet until the machine

stands level.

Hold the foot tight using a wrench or

pliers.

Tighten the counternut using a

screwdriver, as shown.

Building in

This washing machine is specially de-

signed for installation under a counter-

top, and comes with a protective cover

which replaces the machine lid.

For safety reasons the cover of the

machine should not be removed.

Installation

Please note the following:

– The machine should never be oper-

ated without the front panel firmly in

place.

– The electrical outlet and water

faucets should be close to the ma-

chine and easily accessible.

– The slides provided with the ma-

chine will prevent damage to the

floor while moving the washer into

position.

– For installation under countertops

that are 35 7/16" (900 mm) or more

above the floor, one or more 2"

spacer frames, Part # 1542631, may

be required.

– Spacer frames (with installation in-

structions) can be purchased from

your Miele dealer or the Miele Parts

Department.

Matching the control panel to

the adjacent washer fronts

The height of the control panel can be

adjusted in one of two ways:

by tightening or loosening the nuts to

raise or lower the adapter strips as

needed, or

by adding or removing adaper strips.

The attached adapter strips can be

compressed up to 3/8" (10 mm) by tight-

ening the 4 nuts located under the bot-

tom adapter strip. If the control panel

needs to be shortened by more than

3/8" (10 mm), one or more adapter

strips can be removed.

The control panel height can be ex-

tended an additional 1" (25 mm) by ad-

ding additional adapter strips and ex-

tension bolts. These parts are available

from your Miele dealer or the Miele

Parts Department.

Important

After the final adjustment has been

made, cut the plastic bolt flush with the

bottom of the lowest adapter.

Installation

Installing the front panel

A front panel must be installed on the

washer before it can be safely oper-

ated. It can be custom made to match

the surrounding cabinetry or furmiture.

Front Panel Dimensions:

Height: 22 7/16" (+ 3/8" / -1")

570 mm (+ 10 / - 25 mm)

Width: 23 3/16" – 23 1/2"

588 – 596 mm

Thickness: 3/4" (19 mm) maximum

Using the provided template, layout

and drill the pilot holes for the mounting

brackets as follows:

Lay the panel with the finished side

face down and the bottom edge to-

ward you.

Align the bottom of the template with

the lower edge of the door.

Center the template on the panel by

using the four parallel lines located

at each corner. The panel is cen-

tered when the identical line on each

side aligns with the panel edge.

For example, if your panel is 23 3/8"

wide, the second line from the center of

the template will align with both the

right and left edges.

Tape the centered template to the

panel.

Using a 3/8" (10 mm) drill bit, drill 1/2"

(12 mm) deep pilot holes at tem-

plate locations 1 and 2 only.

Remove the template from the panel.

Installation

Right-hand hinge

Left-hand hinge

Open the door and remove the lower

screw from the upper hinge.

Using the screws provided, loosely

attach the front panel th the machine

door through the now empty lower

hinge hole and the corresponding

hole on the unhinged side of the

door (see illustration).

Align the front panel and tighten the

two screws.

The remaining pilot holes can now

be drilled into the front panel through

the holes in the machine door.

Use the remaining screws to se-

curely mount the front panel to the

machine door.

Installation

Sizing the toekick

The appliance toekick visible below the

door can be partially conceated by in-

stalling a custom made toekick that

matches the adjacent cabinetry.

Please note: The depth of recess

and height of the appliance toekick

cannot be altered.

The lenght of the matching toekick

should be 23 5/8" (600 mm). Maximum

toekicks heights are listed below.

Washer-Dryer stack

This Miele washing machine can be in-

stalled as a washer/dryer stack

together with a Miele tumble dryer. For

this purpose, a stacking kit, available

from the Miele Parts Dept., is needed.

A washer and dryer should never

be stacked without using the

proper stacking kit.

Installation

Any residual water left in the

machine from the factory test-

ing process can be flushed

out as follows:

Do not put any laundry in the ma-

chine.

Add a small amount of detergent to

compartment j.

Turn on the machine.

Press the “Rapid wash” button.

Turn the program selector to the

“COTTONS 140°F” program.

Any residual water will be flushed

out during water the program.

Water hardness reminder

wash clothes depends on various fac-

tors, including the water hardness in

your area. You can set the water hard-

ness dial in the detergent dispenser as

a reminder.

Turn the dial to the desired setting.

Use the tool supplied with the ma-

chine. It is located behind the deter-

gent drawer, on the left hand side

(see Cleaning and Care) water.

1 = soft, 4 = very hard

Installation

Plumbing

Connect the cold water supply hose

(hose marked blue) to the cold water

valve and the hot water supply hose

(hose marked red) to the hot water

valve.

Turn on the valves and check for leaks.

The water pressure must be within

15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water

pressure is greater than 145 psi

(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be in-

stalled. If the water pressure is below

15 psi (1 bar), insufficient water may be

available for a complete fill.

The water supply hoses are equipped

with filters; please do not remove these

filters.

Special note

If connecting the machine to a cold

water supply only, use the included Y-

adapter to connect both hoses to the

cold water valve, otherwise the cor-

rect functioning of the machine

could be impaired. The machine

should not be connected to hot

water only.

Connection to the drain sys-

tem

The 5 ft. (1.5 m) drain hose may be con-

nected as follows:

1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose

over the edge of the sink and secure

it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the

water faucet).

2. Connection to a stand pipe: place the

drain hose into a 1 1/2" (38 mm)

stand pipe and firmly secure it. (An

anti-siphoning device is not required

as there is one built into the ma-

chine.)

3. To a floor drain: if desired, the drain

hose may be extended to 15 ft.

(4.5 m) maximum.

The machine drains using a pump with

a maximum delivery height of 4 ft.

(1.2 m).

Make sure there are no kinks in the

drain hose.

The machine is equipped with an air-

gap/anti-siphoning system so that no

minimum drain height is required.
