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 not

designed for commercial use. It is

intended for use in domestic

households and in similar working and

residential environments such as:

–Shops

–Offices and showrooms

and by residents in establishments

such as

–Hostels and guest houses

~This washing machine is not

intended for outdoor use.

~It must only be used as a domestic

appliance to wash items which are

specified by the manufacturer as being

washable on the care label.

Any other usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable

for damage resulting from incorrect or

improper use or operation of the

washing machine.

~This washing machine is not

intended for use by people 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

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

~This appliance 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.

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 with 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 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.

~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.

Before using for the first time

Energy and water consumption

–Water consumption and energy

usage are determined by the size of

the load.

To make the most out of your

machine, load the maximum dry load

for the programme you are using.

–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

programme.

– Use the Express 20 programme for

small loads.

– Modern detergents make it possible

to wash at lower temperatures (e.g

20°C). Washing using lower

temperature settings will save

energy.

– 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.

Detergent

–Do not exceed the amounts of

detergent recommended by the

manufacturer on the packaging.

–Adjust the dosage to the degree of

soiling of the laundry.

–Reduce the amount of detergent for

smaller loads. Use the Load/

Detergent button.

Choosing the correct Extra option

(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)

Select:

– A wash programme together with the

Short extra option for light to normal

soiling where there are no obvious

marks.

– A wash programme without any extra

options for normal to heavy soiling

with visible staining.

– A wash programme together with the

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

save energy when drying in a tumble

dryer afterwards.

Washing environmentally and economically

Brief instructions

The headings numbered A,B,C,...

show the operating sequence and can

be used as brief instructions.

ASort the laundry

^Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,

coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause

damage to garments and

components in the machine.

^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!

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.

,If you use a solvent-based clean-

ing agent (e.g. one containing ben-

zene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure

that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)

are protected, and that the cleaning

agent is rinsed off before washing the

garment in the machine.

,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.

– Curtains: Remove lead weights first

or place in a laundry bag.

–Underwiring and collar stiffeners:

Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar

stiffeners, etc. should be removed or

sewn in.

–Knitted garments, trousers and

jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn

inside out, if recommended by the

manufacturer.

–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. (hsymbol)

FLoad the drum

^Press the Door button to open the

drum door.

The load size indicator display will

appear.

Load

8< 25%

The display shows the amount of

laundry loaded in the drum asa%(in

25% steps) of the maximum load

permissible for the programme

selected.

^Unfold the laundry and load loosely

into the drum. Mixing both large and

small items gives better wash results

and also helps distribute the load

evenly during spinning.

The most efficient use of energy and

water is achieved when a full load is

washed. However, do not overload as

this causes creases and reduces

cleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no items are caught

between the drum door and seal.

^Shut the door with a gentle swing.

How to wash correctly

GAdd detergent

When the door is closed, the load size

indicator will be replaced with the

detergent percentage display.

Detergent

7100%

The percentage shown relates to the

amount of detergent recommended by

the manufacturer on the packaging.

40% = Add slightly less than half

the amount recommended

50% = Add half the amount

recommended

60% = Add slightly more than half

the amount recommended

75% = Add three quarters of

the amount recommended

100% = Add the full amount of

detergent recommended

You also need to take the level of

soiling and water hardness into

account.

It is important to dispense the correct

amount, because

too little detergent results in:

–Laundry not getting properly clean

and with time it may become grey

and hard to the touch.

–Greasy particles clinging to laundry.

–Limescale deposits on the heater

elements.

too much detergent results in:

–Excessive foam which causes a low

level of agitation and poor wash,

rinse and spin results.

– High water consumption (an

additional rinse cycle will

automatically switch in).

– A burden to the environment.

How to wash correctly

^Pull out the detergent drawer and

add detergent to the compartments

as follows:

Detergent for the pre-wash (divide

the total recommended amount as

follows: add 1/3to compartment i

and 2/3to compartment j)

Detergent for the main wash,

including Soak if selected

Fabric conditioner or liquid starch

^Close the detergent drawer.

See "Detergent" for further information.

HSelect Delay start (if required)

^Press the +button and set the time

you wish the programme to end at.

See "Delay start" for more information.

IStart the programme

^Press the flashing Start/Stop button.

If a delay start time has been set, then

this will count down in the display. At

the end of the delay start time or imme-

diately after the programme has started

(if no delay start time has been

selected) the estimated programme

duration will appear in the display.

During the first 8 minutes the machine

measures how much water is being

absorbed by the laundry. The

programme duration may be longer or

shorter depending on this absorbency

rate.

The programme sequence is also

shown in the display. The washing

machine lets you know which section of

the programme has been reached.

The drum lighting switches off once the

programme has started.

How to wash correctly

IRemove the laundry when the

programme has finished

^Remove the laundry.

Check that all items have been

removed from the drum. Items left in

the drum could discolour other items

in the next wash or become

discoloured themselves.

^Check the folds in the door seal for

any small articles, e.g. buttons, which

might be lodged there.

This machine has fully electronic

controls with automatic load

recognition. It takes in the right amount

of water required for the programme

depending on the amount of laundry

and its absorbency rate. This means

that programme cycles and durations

can vary.

The programme sequences outlined in

the chart are based on the basic

programme with a full load. Extra

options which can be selected have not

been taken into account.

The display shows the stage the

programme has reached.

the exception of the Woollens

programme, the drum continues to turn

at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help

prevent creasing.

The door can be opened and laundry

removed at any time during the

anti-crease phase.

1) A second rinse is carried out when a

temperature between 60°C and 95°C

has been selected. A third rinse is

carried out when a temperature

below 60°C is selected.

2) A third or fourth rinse is carried out if:

– there is too much foam in the drum

– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has

been selected

– The spin speed has been

deselected.

3) A third rinse is carried out if:

–The spin has been deselected.

4) In the Outerwear programme,

laundry is only spun after the main

wash.

5) Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is

carried out before the wash process

begins, to deflate down-filled items.

Subsequent water intake for the main

wash is through compartment j.

6) Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without

detergent is carried out automatically

to remove dust.

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.

Detergent

1) Liquid detergent

For programmes with a pre-wash you will need to purchase a special container

from the Miele Spare Parts Department which sits in the main wash

compartment j. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and

to compartment ifor the pre-wash

2) Use powder detergent

* Specialist detergent

Detergent designed specifically for the wash programme or type of fabric.

** Only use proofing agents containing fluorochemical compounds which are

stated by the manufacturer as being "suitable for use on membrane textiles".

Do not use proofing agents which contain paraffin. Add proofing agents to

compartment §.

The right amount to dispense will

depend on the following:

–The soiling level of the load

Lightly soiled

No visible dirt or stains. Possibly

slight body odour.

Normally soiled

Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight

stains.

Heavily soiled

Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on

soiling.

– The quantity of the laundry (add the

recommended amount of detergent)

– The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier

if you do not know the hardness level

in your area.

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut

down on the use of detergents in hard

water areas. Dispense according to the

amount specified on the packaging.

First add detergent and then the water

softener.

Miele branded water softening tablets

are available from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet on

www.miele-shop.com.

Use a quantity of detergent as for soft

water.

Washing with several components

If you wash using several components

(e.g. special application detergents),

we recommend always dispensing the

agents into compartment jin the

following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softeners

3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed

more evenly.

Detergent

Fabric conditioners and liquid

starch

Fabric conditioners make garments soft

to handle and help prevent static cling

when tumble drying.

Starch stiffens and gives body to items

of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and

bed linen.

Automatic dispensing of fabric

conditioner or liquid starch to

laundry at the end of a programme

^Add the fabric conditioner or liquid

starch to compartment §.Do not

exceed the maximum level mark.

It will be dispensed automatically in the

last rinse. At the end of the programme

a small amount of water remains in the

fabric conditioner compartment §.

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the dispenser compartment,

especially the siphon tube and

fabric conditioner channel, regularly.

See "Cleaning the detergent

dispenser drawer". Do not use

powder starch formulations or

viscious liquid starch in the §

compartment as it will clog up.

Adding fabric conditioner or starch

separately

^Dispense in accordance with

manufacturer's instructions on the

packaging.

^Dispense liquids into the §

compartment and powder or viscous

formulations into the i

compartment.

^Turn the programme selector to

Further programmes/Settings 4and

select the Starch programme.

^Select a spin speed or the Rinse hold

extra option.

^Press the Start/Stop button.

Colour run and dye removers/

dyes

^Do not use colour run or dye

removers in this machine.

^Dyes suitable for use in domestic

washing machines can be used.

However, please note that the salt

used in the dyeing process can

cause corrosion to stainless steel

components in the machine if you

dye frequently. Follow the

manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Detergent

A range of Miele branded

CareCollection products are avaialble

to order from Miele. See "Optional

accessories".

Cleaning the drum (Hygiene

info)

Washing at low temperatures and/or

using liquid detergent can cause

bacteria and unpleasant smells to build

up in the machine. In order to clean the

drum and also to prevent unpleasant

smells building up, run a Cottons 75°C

programme with powder detergent

once a month or when the Hygiene

info message appears in the display.

External casing and fascia

panel

,Disconnect the machine from the

mains electricity supply and

withdraw the plug from the socket

before cleaning the machine.

,The machine must not be hosed

down.

^Clean the casing with a mild

non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap

and water using a well wrung-out

cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

^Stainless steel surfaces can be

cleaned with a proprietary stainless

steel cleaning agent, following the

manufacturer's instructions on the

packaging.

,Do not use solvents, abrasive

cleaners, glass cleaners or

multi-purpose cleaning agents.

These might damage plastic

surfaces and other components

because of the chemicals they

contain.

Cleaning the detergent

dispenser drawer

The pre-wash and main wash

compartments of the detergent

dispensing drawer are self-cleaning.

siphon tube in the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.

If starching frequently, thoroughly

clean the siphon and siphon tube

regularly. A build-up of starch will

cause them to get clogged.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer housing

^Use a bottle brush to remove

detergent residues and limescale

from the jets inside the detergent

dispenser drawer housing.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the water inlet filters

The washing machine has two filters to

Problem solving guide

Opening the drum door in the

event of a blocked drain outlet

and/or power failure

^Switch the washing machine off.

There is a lever behind the detergent

drawer fascia panel.

^Remove the lever.

^Use it to open the access flap.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, up to

25 litres of water will be retained in the

machine.

,Caution: if laundry has been

washed at a high temperature, water

draining out of the machine will still

be hot. Danger of scalding!

Procedure for draining the machine

^Place a suitable container under the

access flap.

When draining water from the

machine, do not unscrew the drain

filter completely or take it right out.

^Slowly and carefully unscrew the

drain filter to let the water out.

If you need to interrupt the flow of

water:

^Tighten the drain filter back up again.

Problem solving guide

Once the flow of water ceases:

^Remove the drain filter completely.

^Clean it thoroughly.

^Remove any foreign objects (e.g.

buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from the

filter housing. Turn the impeller by

hand to check that it rotates freely.

Any foreign object causing an

obstruction should be removed.

^Put the drain filter back in place and

secure.

,Make sure the drain filter is

securely tightened. Otherwise there

is a risk of water leakage during use.

To avoid loss of detergent, pour

approx. 2 litres of water into the

detergent dispenser drawer after

cleaning the drain filter. Excess water

will be pumped out automatically

before the next wash programme.

Opening the drum door

,Always make sure that the drum

is stationary before reaching into the

machine to remove laundry.

Reaching into a moving drum is

extremely dangerous.

Installation and connection

Installation surface

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.

Please note:

^The machine must be level and

securely positioned.

^To avoid vibrations during spinning,

the machine should not be installed

on soft floor coverings.

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.

Transporting the washing machine to

its installation site

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.

,Ensure that the machine feet and

the floor are dry to prevent the

machine from slipping during the

spin cycle.

Removing the transit bars

^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.

Installation and connection

^Using the spanner supplied, turn the

left-hand transit bar 90°, then

^withdraw the transit bar.

^Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,

then

^withdraw the transit bar.

Installation and connection

,To avoid the risk of injury the

holes for the transit bars must be

covered after the transit bars have

been removed.

^Plug the holes with the plastic caps

as illustrated.

^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).

Re-fitting the transit bars

Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the

procedure.

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.

^Using the spanner supplied turn

counternut 2in a clockwise direction.

Then turn counternut 2together with

foot 1to unscrew.

^Use a spirit level to check the

machine is standing level.

^Hold foot 1securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counternut 2again

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.

Installation and connection

The fitting of building-under kits*

and stacking kits* must only be

undertaken by qualified and

competent persons, in accordance

with the instructions supplied with

the kit.

Building under a continuous

worktop/in a kitchen run

If you wish to push your machine under

a worktop and there is space to do this

without removing the lid, the

conversion kit is not necessary.

Otherwise the conversion kit is

essential.

– A special building-under conversion

kit* is required.

To ensure electrical safety, the

washing machine lid must be

replaced by the cover plate supplied

with the conversion kit.

– For installation under a work surface

900/910 mm from the floor, a raising

kit* is required.

–Connections for electricity, water and

drainage should be installed in such

a way that they remain accessible

when the machine is in place.

Fitting instructions are supplied with the

conversion kit.

All parts marked* are available from

your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet at

www.miele-shop.com.

Installation and connection

The Miele water protection

system

The Miele water protection system

protects the washing machine from

water damage.

The system consists of three main

components:

1) the inlet hose

2) the electronic unit and the washing

machine housing

3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hose

The inlet hose can 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.

–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.

3) Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a

ventilation system which prevents the

washing machine from being

emptied completely.

Installation and connection

Connection to the water

supply

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

washing machine has been designed

to comply with DIN regulations.

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.

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.

Extension hose

–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.

Installation and connection

Connection to the drainage

system

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

the Miele Spare Parts Department or

your Miele dealer.

* For a delivery head of more than 1 m

(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a replacement

drain pump will need to be fitted.

Please contact the Miele Spare Parts

Department or your Miele Dealer.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note the following:

–Hook the hose over the edge and

secure.

–Make sure that the water can drain

away freely without hindrance.

Otherwise there is a risk of water

overflowing or of some of the drained

water being sucked back into the

machine.

2. Connected securely to a plastic

drain pipe with a rubber nipple.

There is no need to use a non-return

valve.

3. Connected securely to a standpipe.

4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
