Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Energy savings
– 10 minutes after the beginning of the anti-crease phase, the indicators dim and the Start/Stop sensor starts flashing.
– 15 minutes after completion of the anti-crease phase, the washing machine switches off completely and the door lock is released.
Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.
17
Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
– To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using.
The energy and water consumption will be the lowest in relation to the size of the load.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the Auto load control system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.
– Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash (above
60°C) at regular intervals. The indicator will come on to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent consumption
– 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 with smaller loads (approx. ⅓ less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– a wash programme together with the
Short Extra option for light to moderate soiling where there are no obvious marks.
– a wash programme without any Extra options for moderate to heavy soiling with visible staining.
– a wash programme together with the
Soak Extra option for 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.
18
1. Preparing the laundry
Useful tip: Stains can be pre-treated using some handy tricks, which can be found in "Miele's guide to laundry care".
Please contact Miele to obtain a copy of this booklet.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g. one containing benzine) can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign objects.
Chemical (solvent-based) cleaning agents can cause severe damage to the washing machine.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash white and coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably while still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
General tips
– 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.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc.
before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases 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 ( symbol).
19
2. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door Closing the door
Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creases.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
Useful tip: Please note the maximum load for the different wash programmes.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

4. Adding detergent
Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic front loading washing machines can be used with this appliance. Please observe the instructions for use and dosage on the detergent packaging.
Tips on dosing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the size of the load. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (e.g.
reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓ when washing a half load).
Too little detergent results in:
– laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.
– a build-up of mould in the washing machine.
– grease not being completely removed from the laundry.
– limescale deposits on the heater elements.
Too much detergent results in:
– poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
– a higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated.
– a greater burden on the environment.
Filling with detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergents to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash
Detergent for the main wash and soaking

Detergent
The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic front loading washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– The soiling level of the laundry.
– The quantity of laundry.
– The water hardness level. Check with your local water authority if you do not know the water hardness level in your area.
Detergent dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent, buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric softeners and liquid starch
Fabric softeners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Fabric shapers are synthetic starches and give an even stiffer hold.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Procedure for draining the washing machine
When draining water from the machine, do not unscrew the drain filter completely or take it right out.
Place a suitable container, e.g. a
Miele universal oven tray, under the access panel.
Open the drain pump access panel.
Blocked drain outlet
If the drain outlet is blocked, a large quantity of water can remain in the washing machine.
If laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot.
Danger of scalding!
Take care when draining the suds solution.
Slowly and carefully unscrew the filter to let the water out. Be careful not to release too much water at once. If the flow of water is too strong, some water can seep into the washing machine base and activate the water protection float switch. This will prevent the washing machine from functioning.
Tighten the drain filter back up again if you need to interrupt the flow of water.
55
Problem solving guide
Once the flow of water ceases: Opening the door
Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Remove the drain filter completely.

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 59 x 52 x 3 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.
Useful tip: If possible, install the machine in a corner, as this is usually the most stable part of the floor.
Transporting the washing machine to its installation site
Make sure the fixings at the back of the lid are secure.
Otherwise 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 the protruding lid at the back.
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 the catches at the top and bottom.
60
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied, turn the left-hand transit bar 90°, then
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°, then
withdraw the transit bar.
withdraw the transit bar.
61
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.
Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Secure the transit bars to the back of the washing machine. Make sure the top catch is located above the holder.
The washing 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 refitted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house).
Refitting the transit bars
Refitting is carried out by reversing the procedure.
62
Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The washing 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 counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.
Use a spirit level to check that the washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counter nut 2 anticlockwise using the spanner supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.
All four counter nuts must be firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment. Otherwise there is a danger of the machine moving about.
63
Installation and connection
Building under a continuous worktop / in a kitchen run
The washing machine lid cannot be removed.
This washing machine (with lid intact) can be pushed under a worktop if there is space to do so.
Washer and dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. The appropriate "WTV" stacking kit* to match your tumble dryer is required.

64
The Miele water protection system
The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine and surrounds from water damage.
The system consists of three main components:
– the inlet hose
– the electronic unit and drainage and overflow protection
– the drain hose
Inlet hose
– Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand pressures up to 7000 kPa.
Installation and connection
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 water inlet valves, preventing any more water from 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 on and pumps the excess water away in a controlled way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washing machine from being emptied completely.
65
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
The washing machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with current local and national safety regulations.
IMPORTANT Australia and New
Zealand
This appliance must be installed according to AS/NZS 3500.1. Backflow prevention is already integrated in the appliance.
The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1000 kPa. If it is higher than
1000 kPa, it is essential to fit a reducer valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains tap with ¾" threaded union. The tap should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the tap slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has been pressure tested to withstand at least 7000 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 2.5 m or 4.0 m in length are available from Miele as optional accessories.
The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
66
Installation and connection
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. The necessary parts can be purchased from Miele.
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 Miele for advice.
For a delivery head of 1.8 m the hose can be extended to a length of up to 2.5
m. The necessary parts can be purchased from Miele.
Drain hose connection options
1. Directed into a sink or basin.
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and secure it.
– 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 siphon).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).
4. Connected securely to a standpipe.
