Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
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!
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Energy saving tips
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.
If smaller loads are washed using the
Cottons programmes, the automatic
load recognition system will reduce
the amount of water, time and energy
used.
Use the Quick wash programme for
small loads.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads.
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.

1. Sort the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to textiles and to
components in the machine.
Removing marks
^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. shouldbe 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.
,Do not use solvent-basedcleaning agents in this machine.
Sorting laundry
^ Sort the laundry by colour and bycare 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.
Notes and tips on laundry care
17
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.
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, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from
being rolled up inside them.
Further tips can be found under
"Programme chart".
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label (h symbol).
2. Load the drum
^ Switch the machine on with the On/Off button .
The interior drum lighting will come
on.
^ Press the Door button and open thedrum door.
^ Unfold the laundry and load looselyinto 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.
^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.
,Make sure that no items arecaught between the door and the
drum.
3. Select a programme
^ Select the most appropriateprogramme for the load being
washed (see "Programme chart").
Payment system
If your machine is connected to a
payment system, the amount of
payment required will appear in the
display.
Credit will be lost if, after the
programme has started, the door is
opened or the programme
cancelled.

Short instructions
21
Add detergent
Take the level of soiling and water
hardness into account when
determining the amount of detergent to
dispense.
Too little detergent results in:
Laundry not getting properly clean,
and with time maybe becoming 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.
A burden to the environment.
See "Detergent" for further information.
^ Pull out the detergent drawer andadd detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i = Detergent for the pre-wash(1/4 of the total amount
recommended).
j = Detergent for the main wash
= Fabric conditioner or liquidstarch
^ Close the detergent drawer.
The compartment is not usedduring Disinfection programmes. Do
not put anything in it.
This machine can be connected to
an external dispensing system for
dispensing liquid agents (see
"Detergent - External dispensing
system").
Short instructions

^ Press the Start button.
The Start button will now light up.
The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
If delay start has not been selected, the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display. This will count
down in one minute steps. During the
first 10 minutes the machine measures
how much water is being absorbed by
the laundry. The programme duration
may be shorter depending on this
absorbency rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The machine lets
you know which section of the
programme has been reached.
Unload the drum
If the laundry is not removed immedi-
ately the programme has finished, the
anti-crease phase will begin and the
drum will turn at intervals to help
prevent creasing.
The machine will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after the
end of the anti-crease phase. You will
need to press the button to switch
it back on again.
^ Press the Door button to open thedrum door.
^ 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 forany small articles, e.g. buttons, which
might be lodged there.
^ Turn the programme selector toFinish.
^ Close the drum door. Otherwise thereis the danger of objects being placed
inadvertently in the drum. If these
remained unnoticed and were
washed in the next load, they could
damage the laundry.
^ Switch the machine off with the button.

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.
Special features in the programme
sequences:
Anti-crease:
At the end of the programme, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
The door can be opened and items
removed at any time during the
anti-crease phase. Exception:
Anti-crease does not operate on the
Woollens programme.
1)Pre-rinse: A pre-rinse without
detergent is carried out automatically
to remove dust.
2)Run-up to spin: A run-up to spin is
carried out before the wash process
begins to deflate the pillows.
Subsequent water intake for the main
wash is through compartment j.
3)In the Outerwear programme,
laundry is only spun after the main
wash.
4)A third rinse is carried out in the
Flour + programme.

removed after the start of a programme,
the machine will always complete the
programme cycle assuming a full load
which can lead to an increase in the
programme duration shown in the
display.
The door cannot be opened if:
the suds temperature is above 50C.
the water is above a certain level.
the programme has reached the
Final spin stage.
You will not be able to change or
cancel the programme or open the

All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable, including liquid, compact
(concentrated), tablets and special
application detergents. 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 by
proportion to suit smaller loads. Some
tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as
others and may not be suitable for
programmes with short durations.
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts for a full load are given on the
detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash.
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
The soiling level of the laundry
Lightly soiled No visible dirt or stains.
Possibly slight body odour.
Normally soiled Visibly dirty and/or
just a few slight stains.
Heavily soiled Stains and soiling
clearly visible.
The water hardness level. Check with
your local water supplier if you do not
know the hardness level in your area.
The quantity of the laundry (add the
recommended amount of detergent).
Detergent
36
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.
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 j in thefollowing order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
Detergent
37
Fabric conditioner or 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.
^ Dispense according to the amountspecified on the packaging.
Automatic dispensing of fabric
conditioner or liquid starch to
laundry at the end of a programme
^ Add the fabric conditioner or liquidstarch to compartment . Do notexceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed 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 viscous liquid starch

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents.
They do not remove
fruit, coffee and tea
stains.
Use a general purpose detergent
containing a bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into
compartment j of thedispenser drawer and liquid
detergent into a dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers and
liquid detergent together in the
dispenser drawer.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used
to break down the
particles of grease in
heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent.
Before washing the next load run
a Cottons 60C programme with
powder detergent but without a
load.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
The detergent
contained compounds
(zeolites) to aid water
softening which are
not soluble in water.
They have 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 contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents
usually contain no zeolites.
Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling.
Select a programme with pre-wash. Use a liquid
detergent for the pre-wash and a powder detergent for
the main wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Consult
detergent producers for advice.

penetrate the machine and damage
electrical components.
Installation and connection
55
Installation surface
,Ensure that the machine feet andthe floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
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.
^ The machine must be level andsecurely 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 (atleast 70 x 60 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.
^ If possible, install the machine in acorner, as this is usually the most
stable part of the floor.
Removing the transit bars
^ These must be removed before themachine is used for the first time.
^ To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.
^ Using the notched end of thespanner supplied, turn the left-hand
transit bar 90, then
Installation and connection
56
^ withdraw the transit bar.
^ Turn the right-hand transit bar 90,then

removed.
^ Fit the covers onto the two holes.Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
Installation and connection
57
^ Secure the transit bars to the back ofthe machine. Make sure that holes b
are fitted over retainers a.
,The machine must not be movedwithout 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.
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, turncounter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.
Installation and connection
58
^ Use a spirit level to check themachine is standing level.
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipewrench. Turn counter nut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.
,All four counter nuts must sitfirmly 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.

Washer-dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked
on top of this washer-extractor. A "WTV"
stacking kit (optional accessory) is
required for this.
The stacking kit must be fitted by a
Miele authorised service technician.
Replacing the lid
If the lid to the washer-extractor has
been removed to stack it with a tumble
dryer, this must be replaced securely
when the washer-dryer stack is
dismantled.
Installation on a raised plinth
The washer-extractor can be installed
on a steel plinth (open or closed,
available as an optional Miele
accessory) or on a concrete plinth.
,If the machine is installed on aplinth, it must be secured using the
clamps supplied with the machine.
Otherwise there is the danger of the
machine moving and falling off the
plinth during spinning.
Payment system
This washer-extractor can be fitted with
a payment system (optional accessory).
This must be connnected and
programmed by a Miele service
technician.
Coins / tokens must be removed

Plumbing
The machine must be connected to the
water supply in strict accordance with
current local and national water
authority regulations.
UK only:
This machine is a WRAS approved
product. To comply with WRAS
requirements, this machine must be
connected to the potable water
supply via the non-return valves
supplied with it.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 1 and
10 bar (100 kPa and 1,000 kPa). At
higher water pressures it is essential to
fit a reducer valve.
Connection to the water supply should
be carried out by a qualified plumber
and should incorporate a stopcock with
a 3/4" thread. The stopcock should be
fitted by a qualified plumber.
The machine is supplied as standard
with two hoses, for connection to a cold
or a hot and cold water supply.
Connection to the cold water supply
The cold water inlet hose (blue
stripes) must be connected to the
on-site cold water supply via a 3/4"
threaded union. It is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
,The connection point is subjectto mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. Miele
hoses are tested to withstand pressure
of at least 70 bar (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
61
Connection to the hot water supply
To keep electricity consumption costs
down this machine can be connected
to a (ring) piped hot water supply.
The maximum temperature must not
exceed 70C.
It is not economical to run it from an
individual hot water supply if it is not in
continuous use, as the water in the
supply pipes cools down and more
energy would be required to reheat the
water.
For hot water connection the same
conditions apply as for cold water
connection.
The inlet hose with the red stripes (hot
water hose) is connected to the
stopcock.
For operational reasons the machine
must not be connected to hot water
only.
If the machine is not connected to a hot
water supply, the water settings for the
main wash, pre-wash and rinses must
be re-programmed and the hot water
inlet hose must be detached:
^ Go to the Settings menu/Supervisorlevel and select the cold option for
each of the above.
The programme durations may be
longer.
^ Unscrew the inlet hose (hot water -red stripes)
^ Plug the inlet connection with the capsupplied.
Installation and connection
62
Water drainage
Dump valve version
A motorised dump valve is used to
drain the machine. A DN 70 angle
connector can be used for draining the
machine via an on-site gully (with odour
trap). N.B. If not supplied with the
machine, an angle connector is
available to order from Miele.
Machines with a drain pump
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.
Drain hose connection:
1. Connected securely to a plastic
drain pipe with a rubber nipple.
There is no need to use a non-return
valve.
2. Connected securely to a standpipe.
3. Connected securely to a floor gully.
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 1.6 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
Installation and connection
63
Electrical connection
,All electrical work must becarried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK).
The machine must only be operated
with the voltage, frequency and fuse
rating shown on the data plate supplied
with the machine. Please ensure these
match the site mains supply.
We recommend connecting the
machine to the power supply via a
suitable plug and socket which must be
easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine
has been installed.
For hard-wired machines, connection
should be made via a suitable mains
switch with all-pole isolation which
when in the off position ensures a 3 mm
gap between all open contacts.
