Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packaging material
The cardboard box and packaging materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also the amount of waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with general waste.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.

Important safety instructions
Warning In order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries, persons operating the appliance must adhere to the following safety precautions: It is essential to read the operating instructions before using the washing machine. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The washing machine must be grounded. Connecting the appliance to ground reduces the danger of electric shock in the event of a malfunction. The grounding is a protective conductor which provides a path of least resistance for the current. The washing machine comes complete with a power cord and plug with the corresponding protective conductor. The power cord plug must be inserted into a suitable outlet that has been installed and grounded in compliance with all applicable local codes. WARNING: Incorrect grounding of the appliance will run the risk of electric shock. In case of doubt, get in touch with a qualified electrician and arrange to have your cabling inspected. Do not replace or make any changes to the plug supplied. If there is no suitable socket available, a socket must be installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a damaged washing machine. Do not expose the washing machine to outdoor weather conditions. Do not install the washing machine in an area where there is a risk of freezing conditions. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and the reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
7
Important safety instructions Before connecting the washing machine, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the domestic electricity supply. If in doubt, request the connection data from a qualified electrician. Do not connect the washing machine to the domestic electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating). The washing machine is not intended for maritime applications or for use in mobile units such as motor homes or aircraft. However, installation in such scenarios may be possible under certain conditions. Get in touch with Miele's Technical Service department regarding these specific requirements. Do not make any changes or repairs on the washing machine if this is not expressly permitted in these operating instructions. Only Miele is permitted to replace a damaged power cord. Miele service technicians use original power cords from Miele. If hot-water systems are not used for longer than two weeks, there may be a buildup of hydrogen under certain conditions. HYDROGEN IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water systems have not been in use for longer than two weeks, allow hot water to run from all valves for several minutes before operating the washing machine. This reduces the formation of hydrogen. Refrain from smoking and keep away from naked flames while the water valves are open. The gas will be flammable during this time. Remove the door or destroy the door lock before disposing of the washing machine.
8
Important safety instructions Use Children are not allowed to play with, on, or inside the washing
machine. If you are operating the washing machine in the presence of children, the children must be supervised at all times. The temperature of the porthole glass becomes very high during washing. Danger of burning! Refrain from touching the porthole glass. You must therefore keep children away from the porthole glass during the wash cycle. Only use the washing machine for washing fabrics with a care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Other applications may be dangerous. Do not wash any fabrics which have been cleaned, washed, or soaked with cleaning agents containing solvents (e.g. benzine) or other flammable substances. These fabrics release vapours which can ignite or explode. Do not add these kinds of fabric to a load of washing. Do not use any solvents or other flammable substances or explosive materials in the washing machine. These materials can release vapours which can ignite or explode. Never use solvent based cleaning agents on or in the washing machine. Surfaces are damaged on contact with cleaning agents. Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Do not touch the drum whilst it is still rotating. Do not make any alterations to the machine. KEEP THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
9
Important safety instructions Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. A Miele washer-dryer connection kit is required as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer and the Miele washing machine. If installing the machine on a Miele plinth (available as an optional accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this washing machine. Should detergent enter the eyes, rinse out immediately with plenty of lukewarm water. If accidentally ingested, seek medical advice immediately. People who have sustained damage to the skin or who have sensitive skin should avoid contact with the detergent. Be careful when opening the door following use of the steam function. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated. The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6 lb (8 kg). See the "Program chart" for the maximum recommended loads for individual programs. This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a person authorized by Miele or by Miele Technical Service.

Environmentally friendly washing
Energy and water consumption - To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the program you are using. The energy and water consumption will then be the lowest in relation to the size of the load. - When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the washing machine's automaticload recognition system will reduce the amount of water and energy used. - Use the Express program for small, lightly soiled loads. - Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g., 20�C). Using the corresponding temperature settings will save energy. - Washing at low temperatures and / or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odours to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month. The washing machine provides you with a reminder with the message
Hygiene info: select "Maintenance" and
run the "Clean Machine" program in the display.
Detergent consumption - Use the TwinDos system for exact
dispensing. - Adjust the dosage to the level of
soiling of the laundry. - Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended on the packaging. - Only use highly efficient detergent with the following label:
When drying with a tumble dryer Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash program to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.

Feedback
EcoFeedback You can call up information about the energy and water consumption of your washing machine with the EcoFeedback sensor button. The following information will appear in the display: - an estimate of the energy and water
consumption before the program begins - the actual energy and water consumption during the program or at the end of the program
1. Estimate The estimated energy and water consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart on the right-hand side. The more bars visible, the higher the energy or water consumption. The estimate will vary depending on the wash program, temperature, and any extra options selected.
2. Actual consumption You can view the actual amount of energy and water used by a program both during and at the end of the program. The costs can also be displayed. See "Settings � Consumption" for more detailed information on costs. The consumption will alter as the program progresses. If the door is opened or the machine has switched off automatically at the end of the program, the data will revert to the estimated consumption. Useful tip: You can view the consumption data for the last wash program and for total consumption (see "Settings � Consumption").

1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam. Useful tip: Dark fabrics often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Wash light and dark coloured items separately. Pre-treating stains Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub!
26
Useful tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care. Please contact Miele directly or submit a request via Internet page to obtain or view a copy of this manual.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents. Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating a stain, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with cleaning agents.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents. When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

4. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door
Closing the door
Take hold of the door and pull it open. Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and water consumption is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creasing. Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps to distribute the load evenly during spinning. Useful tip: The maximum load size for the program selected will appear in the pull-down menu.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

5. Adding detergent
There are several options for adding detergent to the washing machine.
TwinDos
TwinDos The washing machine is equipped with the TwinDos system. TwinDos has to be activated as described in "Before using for the first time".
The TwinDos system can only be operated with the Miele UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 Detergents.
How UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 work UltraPhase 1 is a liquid detergent which dissolves dirt and removes the most common stains. UltraPhase 2 is a bleaching agent and removes stubborn stains. For the best washing result, these two agents are dispensed at separate times during the washing process. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 clean white and coloured fabrics thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 single-use cartridges are available to order from Miele's online store or Miele Experience Centers.
Activating TwinDos dispensing TwinDos dispensing is automatically activated on all programs in which dispensing is possible. Useful tip: The detergent dispensing quantities are pre-set. If too much foam builds up, the dispensing quantity for UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 can be reduced via Settings TwinDos.
Changing TwinDos dispensing You can change the suggested colour composition of the laundry. Touch the TwinDos sensor button and
select the colour composition of your laundry.
Deactivating TwinDos dispensing Touch the TwinDos sensor button. Touch the Off sensor button.
Using other methods to remove stains If you use additional methods of stain removal, you have the following options: - using the Booster cap and activating
the CapDosing - adding stain remover to the
compartment in the detergent dispenser drawer

Useful tip: Reinsert the insert into the detergent dispenser drawer before next using liquid detergent. Useful tip: Use TwinDos dispensing if you want to run a program with the Prewash extra option.
34
5. Adding detergent
Adding fabric softener
- Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements.
Too much detergent - Poor wash, rinse, and spin results. - Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated. - A greater burden on the environment.
Add the fabric softener or the liquid starch to the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse cycle. At the end of the program a small amount of water remains in the compartment.
Using detergent tablets or pods Always put detergent tablets or pods directly in the drum with the laundry. They cannot be added via the detergent dispenser drawer. See "Detergent" for further information about detergents and how much to dispense.
If starching frequently, clean the dispenser compartment, especially the siphon tube, regularly.
Tips for dispensing Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the maximum load. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the amount of detergent by when washing a half load). Too little detergent: - The laundry is not cleaned properly
and may become grey and hard to the touch over time. - Can lead to a build-up of mold in the washing machine. - Grease is not completely removed from the laundry.
35
5. Adding detergent
CapDosing
If you selected CapDosing when setting the program, detergent will be dispensed via the cap for this wash program. Only one cap can be selected per wash program. 3 different types of cap are available:
= Fabric care (e.g., fabric softener, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g., detergent enhancers)
= Detergent (for the main wash only)
Depending on the setting selected, the detergent, additive, or fabric care agent will be dispensed via the cap.
Each cap contains the correct amount for one wash cycle. Caps are available to order from Miele's online shop, Miele's customer service, or from your Miele dealer.
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be hazardous to health if they are swallowed or come into contact with skin. Keep capsules out of the reach of children.
Inserting a capsule Open the detergent dispenser drawer.
Open the lid of the / compartment.
Press the capsule in firmly.
36
5. Adding detergent

drawer.
The capsule is opened by the act of inserting it in the detergent dispenser drawer. The contents can run out of the capsule if you then remove it from the drawer before it is used. Dispose of opened capsules.
The contents of the capsule will be added to the wash program at the correct time.
During CapDosing, water intake to the compartment is solely via the capsule. Do not add any additional fabric softener to the compartment.
Remove the empty capsule at the end of the wash program.
For technical reasons, a small amount of water will remain in the capsule.
Colour run and dye removers/ dyes
Damage due to colour run/dye
removers. Colour run and dye removers can cause corrosion in the washing machine. Do not use colour run or dye removers in this washing 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 use dye frequently. Always observe the dye manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Sanitize
170 �F/75 �C
With frequent washing at low temperatures there is a danger of a build-up of bacteria in the washing machine. Cleaning the washing machine will significantly reduce bacteria, mold, and biofilm and prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours.
- Optimum results can be achieved by using Miele Machine Cleaner. Alternatively, a multi-purpose powder detergent can be used.
- Dispense the machine cleaner or multi-purpose detergent directly into the drum.
- Do not load any laundry. The drum must be empty for the Clean Machine program.
49
Extra options
You can supplement the wash programs with extra options.
SingleWash
For efficiently washing a very small load (< 2.2 lb/1 kg) in a normal wash program. The wash duration is reduced. Please note! When adding detergent manually, only use liquid detergent and use the proper amount. Use a maximum of 50 % of the specified amount of detergent for a � load. Chlorination is not possible.
Extra Gentle
Drum rotation and wash duration are reduced. Lightly soiled fabrics are washed more gently.
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt, e.g. dust and sand.
Pre-wash and chlorination is not possible. The chlorine bleach is added too early.
Eco
The Eco extra option helps to save energy. The wash temperature is reduced and the wash duration is increased in return. The wash program continues to provide a deep clean.
SoftSteam
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry undergoes a smoothing process at the end of the program. Reducing the maximum load by 50% will give a better result. Please note the load information in the display. Small loads give a better result. The garments must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer and suitable for ironing .
Only liquid detergent may be added to the chamber of the detergent dispenser drawer. Powder detergent clogs up the chamber and water can escape from the detergent dispenser drawer.
Soak
For heavily soiled fabrics with protein stains. A soak duration of between 30 minutes and 6 hours in 30-minute increments can be selected for the soak process. See "Settings" for more information. The factory default setting is 30 minutes.
50
Extra options
ExtraRinse
An extra rinse can be activated to achieve a better wash result.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where high standards of hygiene are required. Energy consumption is increased to lengthen temperature holding times and water consumption is increased to improve rinsing efficiency. The items must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer and suitable for ironing .
Rinse Hold
The laundry is not spun after the final rinse and remains in the rinse water. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the washing machine immediately after the end of the program.
Not all the extra options can be used with every program. If an extra option is not permitted for a wash program, it will not be shown in the display. See "Wash program overview � extra options".

Spinning
Program sequence
= low water level = medium water level = high water level = intensive rhythm = normal rhythm = sensitive rhythm = ultra sensitive rhythm = handwash rhythm = carried out � = not carried out
This washing machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load control. The washing machine takes in the right amount of water required for the program depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate. The program sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic program with a full load.
Special features in the programme sequence
Anti-crease: At the end of the programme the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing. Exception: There is no anti-crease phase in the Woolens , Silks and Handwashprograms. The door can be opened at any time during the anti-crease phase.
1 An additional rinse is carried out if:
- there is too much foam in the drum
- a spin speed lower than Medium (800 rpm) has been selected.
2 An additional rinse is carried out if the ExtraRinse Extra has been selected.
3 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 .
55
Program sequence
PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique developed by Miele. It is activated in the following programs: - Normal (with small and medium load
sizes) - Wrinkle-free - Dress Shirts - Delicates
How it works Conventional washing techniques wash with more water than the laundry can absorb. This total volume of water needs to be heated. The PowerWash washing technique only uses slightly more water than the laundry can absorb. The water which has not been absorbed by the laundry heats up the drum and the laundry and is sprayed into the laundry over and over again. This reduces energy consumption.
Activation PowerWash is activated automatically in the programmes listed above. PowerWash is deactivated if: - CapDosing (, ) has been
selected for the main wash - Extras such as Pre-wash or
ExtraRinse have been selected - The selected final spin speed No
Spin has been selected - A large load is being washed in the
Normal program
Special features - Drenching phase
The washing machine will spin a few times at the beginning of the program. During spinning, the water discharged is sprayed back into the laundry in order to achieve optimum moisture penetration. The optimum water level is set at the end of the drenching phase. If necessary, the washing machine will pump water away or take in a little more fresh water. - Noises during the heating phase Unusual bubbling noises can occur while the laundry and the drum are being heated.
56

76
Frequently Asked Questions
An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem
Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergent is not achieving the required results.
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching agents. Consequently, fruit, coffee, and tea stains cannot always be removed. Use the Miele 2-phase system. The deliberate
addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process removes stains effectively. Use powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.
White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark fabrics after washing.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry. Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry. In future, wash dark fabrics using a detergent
which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do not usually contain zeolites. Use the Darks program to wash the textiles.
Grey, greasy particles Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The cling to washed laundry. laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils,
ointments). Use more detergent or liquid detergent with this
type of soiled laundry. Before washing the next load, run the Clean
Machine wash program using Miele clean machine or a universal powder detergent.

Installation
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface. It is 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: Install the machine on a plywood base (at least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists, not just the floorboards. Useful tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner. This is usually the most stable part of the floor.
Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately secured. During installation, the washing machine must be secured on a plinth to be made available on site (concrete or brick), in order to ensure it cannot fall or slip. Secure the washing machine using a clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor mounting kit � available from your Miele dealer or Miele Service department).
Transporting the washing machine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid. The fixings at the back of the lid may become brittle due to external circumstances. There is a danger of the lid being pulled off when carrying the appliance. Before carrying the appliance, check that the lid is secure where it protrudes at the back of the appliance.
Carry the washing machine by the front feet and by the lid where it protrudes at the back of the appliance.

The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electric and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.
Unscrewing and adjusting the feet The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the washing machine. All four feet are screwed in when the washerdryer is delivered.
Use a level to check that the washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again using the wrench supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.
Using the wrench supplied, turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.
Risk of damage due to
incorrectly aligned washing machine. There is a danger of the washing machine moving about if the feet are not secured. Turn all four counter nuts for the feet until they sit firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment.

The Miele water protection system
The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine and its surroundings from water damage. The system mainly consists of the following components: - the inlet hose - the electronic unit, and the drainage
and overflow protection - the drain hose
Inlet hoses - Protection against the hoses bursting
The inlet hose can withstand pressure of more than 1,015.26 psi/7,000 kPa.
Electronic unit and machine housing - Sump: Any leaking water from the
washing machine is collected in a sump in the base of the machine. A float switches off the water inlet valves. This shuts off the water intake and prevents any more water from flowing into the machine. Water in the suds container is pumped away. - Overflow protection: This prevents the washing machine from taking in too much water and overflowing. If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump switches on and pumps the excess water away.
94
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
Water intake
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the incoming water must correspond to the drinking water specification of the country in which the washing machine is being operated. Always connect the washing machine to the drinking water supply.
The washing machine should be connected to a domestic water supply in accordance with current 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 flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and must not exceed an overpressure of 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa, a pressure reduction valve must be installed. For the connection, a water tap with a �" screw thread is required. If not available, only a qualified installer may connect the washing machine to the water supply.
The connection points are subject to water supply pressure. Turn on the tap slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the seal and union if necessary.
Maintenance Only use a genuine Miele hose that has been tested to withstand pressure of over 1,015.26 psi/7,000 kPa should you ever need a replacement.
A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the intake point to protect the inlet valve. Neither filter may be removed.
Hose extension Longer hoses of 2.5 m or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Technical Service as optional accessories.

Installation
Drainage
The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 1 m delivery head. For the water to drain freely, the hose must be installed free of kinks. If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 5 m. Accessories are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Service. 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 installed. Please contact Miele Service for advice. For a delivery head of 1.8 m, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 2.5 m. Accessories are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Service. Drainage options: 1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note: � Hook the hose over the edge and
secure! � If the water is pumped into a sink,
be sure that it can drain away quickly enough. 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 floor drain. 4. Connected securely to a sink with a plastic nipple.

Electrical connection
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The washing machine must be grounded. Connecting the appliance to ground reduces the danger of electric shock in the event of a malfunction. The grounding is a protective conductor which provides a path of least resistance for the current. The washing machine comes complete with a power cord and plug with the corresponding protective conductor. The plug must be inserted into a suitable socket. The socket must be installed and grounded in accordance with the locally applicable regulations. WARNING! Incorrectly connected ground conductors will pose the danger of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician or customer service staff if you have any doubts as to whether the washing machine has been grounded properly. Do not replace or make any changes to the plug supplied. If there is no suitable socket available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Installation
Instructions for electrical connection The installation must be carried out by an experienced and qualified specialist in accordance with local regulations. The washing machine is equipped with a 5' 3" (1.6 m) long, 3-wire cable with a NEMA-5-15 plug, which is ready for connection to a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz AC power supply. The manufacturer recommends operating the washing machine on a dedicated circuit to avoid overloading the electrical circuit. A suitable socket can be furnished by an electrical retailer.
