Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"and "Technical data".

Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externallyvisible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

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:

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.

The Miele Waterproof system protects from water damageprovided the following conditions have been met:

– The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to theelectricity supply.

– If a fault or damage has been identified, the machine must beexamined by a competent person before further use, and repairedif necessary.

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 8 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 www.miele-shop.com(depending on country) or from Miele. Strictly observe theinstructions on the packaging.

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.

Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containingbenzine, to clean the external surfaces of the machine. They cancause damage to plastic surfaces.

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable foruse in a domestic washing machine. Always observe themanufacturer's instructions carefully.

General problems with the washing machine


The machine shakesduring the spin cycle.

The machine feet are not level. Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.

The laundry has notbeen spun properly andthe laundry is still wet.

The machine detected an imbalance during the finalspin and reduced the spin speed automatically. Include both large and small items in the load as

this will give better distribution.

The pump makesstrange noises.

This is not a fault.These slurping noises occur at the end of the pumpsequence as a normal part of operation.

Large amounts ofdetergent residueremain in the detergentdispenser drawer.

The water pressure is too low. Clean the filter in the water inlet. It may be useful to select the Water plus Extra

option.Powder detergent used with water softeners canbecome sticky. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in future

add washing powder and then add the watersoftener.

Fabric softener is notcompletely dispensedor too much waterremains in the compartment.

The display is in adifferent language.

A different language has been selected in "Settings /Language ". Set the language you want. The flag symbol will

guide you.


71

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 Miele dishwasher andwashing 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/Denim programme.

Opening the door in the eventof a blocked drain outlet and/or power cut Switch off the washing machine.

Press the drain pump access panel.

The panel will spring open.

Blocked drain outlet

If the drain outlet is blocked, a largequantity of water (up to 25 litres) canremain in the washing machine.

Caution: If laundry has beenwashed at a high temperature, waterdraining out of the machine will stillbe hot. Danger of scalding!

Procedure for draining the washingmachine

When draining water from themachine, do not unscrew the filterscompletely or take them right out.

Place a suitable container, e.g. aMiele universal oven tray, under theaccess panel.

Slowly and carefully unscrew thefilters to let the water out. Be carefulnot to release too much water atonce. If the flow of water is toostrong, some water can seep into thewashing machine base and activatethe water protection float switch. Thiswill prevent the washing machinefrom functioning.

Tighten the filters back up again ifyou need to interrupt the flow ofwater.

Once the flow of water ceases:


74

Remove the filters completely.

Clean them thoroughly.

Remove any foreign objects (e.g.buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff from thefilter housing. Turn the impellers byhand to check that they rotate freely.

Replace the filters correctly (on theright and left) and tighten themsecurely.

Make sure the filters are securelytightened. Otherwise there is a risk ofwater leakage during use.

Opening the door

Always make sure that the drumis stationary before reaching in toremove laundry. Reaching into amoving drum is extremelydangerous.

Use a screwdriver to unlock the door.

Pull open the door.

78

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 siteTo manoeuvre the washing machine outof its packing case to its installationsite, hold it by the front feet as well asby the edge of the lid where it protrudesto the rear of the machine.

Ensure that the machine feet andthe floor are dry to prevent themachine from slipping during thespin cycle.

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.


79

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.


80

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.


81

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 againusing the spanner supplied until it sitsfirmly up against the housing.

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.


82

Building under a continuousworktop / in a kitchen run

The washing machine lid cannotbe removed.

This washing machine (with lid intact)can be pushed under a worktop if thereis space to do so.

Washer and dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stackedwith the washing machine. Theappropriate "WTV" stacking kit* tomatch your tumble dryer is required.

83

The Miele water protectionsystemThe Miele water protection systemprotects all parts of the washingmachine and surrounds from waterdamage.

The system consists of three maincomponents:

– the inlet hose

– the electronic unit and drainage andoverflow protection

– the drain hose

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.


84

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.


85

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 3/4" 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 at theend of the water inlet hose containsa dirt filter which protects thesolenoid valves.This dirt filter must not be removed.


86

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 + is selected is toolow, 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.


87

DrainageThe machine drains via a drain pumpwith a delivery head of 1 metre. Thedrain hose must not be kinked as thisrestricts drainage. The swivel elbow atthe end of the hose can be turned ineither direction, or can be detached ifrequired, with a sharp twist and pull.If required, the drain hose can beextended to a length of 5 m. Thenecessary parts can be purchased fromMiele.

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 necessary, the drain hose can beextended to a length of 2.5 m. Thenecessary parts can be purchased fromMiele.

Drain hose connection:

1. Direct into a sink or basin:

Please note:

– Hook the hose over the edge andsecure.

– Make sure that the water can drainaway freely without hindrance.Otherwise there is a risk of wateroverflowing or of some of thedrained water being sucked backinto 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 standpipe.

Please note:

88

Electrical connectionThe washing machine is supplied with amains cable with moulded plug forconnection to a 230V mains supply. Thevoltage, rated load and plug rating aregiven on the data plate. Please ensurethese match the household mainssupply.

The accessibility of the plugmust always be ensured in order toseparate the washing machine fromthe mains. Do not connect theappliance to an extension lead ormulti-socket adapter as they do notguarantee the required safety of theappliance (e.g. danger ofoverheating).

All electrical work should be carried outonly by a suitably qualified andcompetent person, in strict accordancewith national and local safetyregulations. For extra safety, it isadvisable to install a residual currentdevice (RCD), with a trip current of 30mA. Ensure power is not supplied to theappliance until after installation workhas been carried out. Connectionshould be made via a suitable switchedsocket.

If the connection cable is damaged, itmust be replaced with a Miele cable ofthe same type by a Miele approvedservice technician only.
