Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the machine from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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!

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materials. They also 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.

This machine complies with 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 machine, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its 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 intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.

The 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 machine-washable on the wash care label, and textiles composed of hand-washable wool or wool blend fabrics as well as satin, lace, silk and other hand-washable garments. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

The machine can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the machine unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the machine unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the machine unsupervised.
▶ Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.
For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at high temperatures Do not let children touch it.

Technical safety

Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged machine.

Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested 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 are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the machine.

▶ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guarantee the safety standards of the machine.

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

The electrical socket should be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply when necessary.

▶ 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, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
The machine must be isolated from the electricity supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.
This machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used.
This machine must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 7 kg. See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.

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 machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars"). 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 that 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.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale it, only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from Miele (see "Optional accessories").
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, 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.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine 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.

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.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an optional accessory, depending on country), please make sure you order the right one for this washing machine.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

⑤ Programme selector

For selecting the wash programme and temperature for that programme. The programme selector can be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise.

⑥ Fault indicator light

⑦ ① button

For switching the washing machine on and off.

To save energy, the washing machine will switch itself off automatically 15 minutes after the end of the programme/anti-crease phase or after being switched on, if no other selection is made.

⑧ Door button

Opens the machine door.

Before using the machine for the first time, ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See "Installation and connection". Also check that the drain filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use.

This washing machine has undergone a complete functional test at the factory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.

For safety reasons, spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.

Using detergent could result in an excessive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.

■ Open the stopcock.
■ Press the Ⓐ button in.
■ Turn the programme selector to Cottons 60^ .
■ Press the Start button.

When the programme has finished, your machine is ready to use 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 and energy used.
• Use the Express programme for small loads.
• Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g 20^ ). Washing using lower temperature settings will save energy.
• Use the Soak additional option instead of Pre-wash. If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash, the same suds are used.

Detergent

• Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
• Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

Choosing the correct additional options (Short, Soak, Pre-wash)

Select:

• A wash programme together with the Short option for light to normal soiling where there are no obvious marks.
• A wash programme without any additional options for normal to heavy soiling with visible staining.
• A wash programme together with the Soak option for heavily soiled laundry.
• The Pre-wash additional 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.

Brief instructions

The headings numbered 1, 2, 3, . . . show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions.

① Sort the laundry

Illustration of a person with wings and leaves emerging from the air, surrounded by flying objects (no text or symbols)

■ 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 cleaning agent (e.g. one containing benzine) 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.
• Turn garments 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. (☒ symbol)

② Switch on the washing machine
③ Load the drum

■ Press the Door button to open the drum door.
■ 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 items do not get caught between the drum door and the seal.

■ Turn the programme selector to the required programme.

The estimated programme duration in hours and minutes will appear in the display.

During the first 10 minutes the washing machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry and uses this to calculate the load. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.

⑤ Select any additional option(s)

Each press of the top button selects the additional options in the following order: Soak, Pre-wash or Short or no option.

Use the lower button to select the Water plus option.

○ Short ○ Pre-wash ○ Soak ○ Water plus

■ Select the option(s) you want.

Not all the additional options are suitable for use with every programme.

You can only select additional options which are compatible with the programme being used.

6 Select a spin speed

1400 1000 600 Ø

■ Press the Spin button repeatedly until the indicator light for the spin speed you want comes on.

⑦ Add detergent

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 the laundry.

- Limescale deposits on the heater elements.

... too much results in:

- Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.

- Higher water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).

- A burden to the environment.

■ Pull out the detergent drawer and place detergent in the compartments as follows:

Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add 13 to compartment and 23 to compartment).

Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected

Fabric conditioner or liquid starch

■ Close the detergent drawer.

See "Detergent" for further information.

8 Start the programme

■ Press the flashing Start button.

9 Unload the drum

0 will appear in the display at the end of the programme.

The washing 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 the drum 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.

Illustration of a hand cleaning a large circular device with hexagonal mesh pattern (no text or symbols)

■ Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles, e.g. buttons, which might be lodged there.
■ Press the ① button to release it and turn the programme selector to Finish.
■ Close the drum door. Otherwise there is 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.

You can use the extra option buttons to augment the wash programmes.

Short

For light to normal soiling with no visible staining.

This shortens the programme running time.

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt e.g. dust, sand.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains (e.g. blood, fats and oils, cocoa).

• A length of time of between 30 minutes and 2 hours can be programmed in 30 minute increments for the soak process.
• The default setting is 2 hours.

To programme in a different soak period see "Programmable functions – Soak".

Water plus

The water level in the main wash and the rinses will be increased.

You can select other settings for Water plus. These are described in "Programmable functions".

The following extra options can be selected in addition to the programme:

Only one of the following can be selected at a time: Short, Pre-wash or Soak.

You can reduce the final spin speed. However, you cannot select a final spin speed higher than that shown in the chart above.

Please note:

For programmes with a maximum spin speed not shown on the control panel, the nearest spin speed above it will light up. However, to protect the laundry the machine will only spin at the spin speed quoted in the chart.

Rinse and interim spin

There is a spin after the main wash and between the rinses. A reduction in the final spin speed will also reduce the interim spin speed. If a spin speed of less than 700 rpm is selected for a Cottons programme, an additional rinse is introduced.

You can also omit the final spin

■ Press the Spin button repeatedly until the Ⓧ indicator light comes on. The laundry is not spun after the final rinse. The water will drain away and the machine will go straight into the anti-crease stage. With some programmes an additional rinse is introduced if this setting is selected.

This can lead to an increase in the programme duration shown in the display.

The door cannot be opened if:

• the suds temperature is above 55^ .
  – the water is above a certain level.
  – the final spin is being carried out.

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.

1) Liquid detergentFor 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 🎉. Add liquid detergent to this container for the main wash and to compartment 🎉 for the pre-wash2) Use powder detergent* Specialist detergentDetergent 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 useproofing agents which contain paraffin. Add proofing agents to compartment ⚙.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

• The quantity of laundry.
• 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

Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.

- The water hardness level.

Check with your local water supplier if you do not know the hardness level in your area.

Water hardness levels

Hardness scale	Hardness level mmol/l	German °d
I (soft)	0 - 1.5	0 - 8.4
II (medium)	1.5 - 2.5	8.4 - 14
III (hard) Above 2.5 Above 14

Refill packs of detergent

When purchasing detergent buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.

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 Miele. See "Optional accessories".

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 📊 in the following order:

1. Detergent
2. Water softener
3. Stain remover

This way the agents are distributed more evenly.

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

MAX.

■ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment ⚙. Do not exceed 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, the dispenser compartment and especially the siphon tube and fabric conditioner channel will need regular cleaning to remove any residual starch. See "Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer". Do not add powder starch formulations or viscous liquid starch to the ⚙ compartment as it will clog up. See below.

Adding fabric conditioner or starch separately

■ Dispense in accordance with manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
■ Add powder or viscous starch to compartment ⬆.
■ Add the fabric conditioner or liquid starch to compartment ✿.
■ Turn the programme selector to Separate rinse/Starch
■ Select a spin speed.
■ Press the Start button.

Colour run and dye removers / dyes

■ 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 dye frequently. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

⚠️ Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply and withdraw the plug from the socket before cleaning the machine.

⚠ The washing machine must not be hosed down.

A range of Miele branded cleaning and conditioning agents is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department, or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

External casing and control panel

Clean the casing and the control panel using an E-Cloth, or with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

■ The drum and any stainless steel outer panels can be cleaned using a suitable stainless-steel cleaning agent following the instructions on the packaging.

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning agents. These could damage plastic surfaces and other parts.

Extra cleaning

Carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) with powder detergent approx. every 6 weeks to help prevent deposits building up in the machine. These can occur when washing is mainly done at low temperatures, and can lead to unpleasant smells. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at high temperatures, then run a Cottons 90°C programme with detergent but no laundry at regular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

For hygiene reasons, clean the entire drawer at regular intervals.

Miele

■ Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt. Press down the release catch and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine.
■ Clean the detergent drawer with hot water.

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

- 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.

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.

1 2

■ Using the spanner supplied turn counternut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counternut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.

Line drawing of a front-loading washing machine with side panels and vent, no text or symbols present

■ Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.

■ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe wrench. Turn counternut 2 again 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.

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 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.

Washer and Dryer stack

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A "WTV" stacking kit* is necessary.

The Miele water safety system

The Miele water safety system protects the washing machine from water damage.

The system consists of three main components:

1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit
3) the drain hose

1) Inlet hose

The inlet hose is tested to withstand pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.

2) Electronic unit

If, during the water intake, the electronic unit has not detected an increase in the water level in the suds container after 90 seconds, the inlet valve is closed again.

- 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.

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 it 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 reducer valve.

Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock with 34 " 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.

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 elbow at the end can be detached.

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.

• Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve.

• Connected securely to a floor gully.

• Connected securely to a standpipe.

Please note:

② Nut
③ Hose clip
④ End of the hose

■ Fit adapter ① to the sink drain outlet using nut ②.

■ Attach the end of hose ④ to adapter ①.

■ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip ③ up close to the nut.

Electrical connection U.K.

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply.

Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply.

Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to protect the appliance with a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice.

Do not connect via an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
