This washing machine complies with all current local and national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washing machine. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the washing machine.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the chapter on installing the washing machine as well as the safety instructions and warnings.

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

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This washing machine is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments. The washing machine is not intended for outdoor use. It must be used only as a domestic appliance to wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the wash care label. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation. The washing 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 safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the washing machine unless they are constantly supervised. Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation. Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing machine unsupervised. Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

Please observe the instructions in "Installation" and "Technical data". Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine. Before connecting the washing 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.

Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard.

The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.

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 wiring system of the building tested by a qualified electrician.

Miele 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 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).

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.

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

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

While the washing machine is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised 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.

The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.

The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and should not exceed 1000 kPa.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

The 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.

Correct use

Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk of frost. 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 - 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 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. Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated. The maximum load for this washing machine is 8.0 kg (dry weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

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 a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent. Miele recommends using Miele descaling agent which is available to order online at www.miele.co.uk or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.

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 surfaces of the 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 and spare parts

▶ Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, warranty, 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 correct one for this washing machine. ▶ Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your washing machine.

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

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance 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.

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.

MIELE WED 125 WCS 8kg - Disposing of your old appliance - 1

■ Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.

Tip: Leave the door slightly open to allow the drum to dry.

Initial commissioning is now complete.

Energy and water consumption

  • To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load size for the wash programme you are using. This will keep the energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load.
  • Programmes that are more efficient with regard to energy and water consumption generally have a longer running time. By extending the programme running time, the wash temperature that is actually reached can be reduced while still providing the same wash results.

For example, the

ECO 40-60 programme has a longer running time than the Cottons 40 °C or 60 °C programme. The

ECO 40-60 programme is more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption but has a longer running time.

  • 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.

Hygiene in the washing machine

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.

When the ✝ indicator light appears in the control field, the washing machine must be cleaned.

Information about subsequent tumble drying

The spin speed selected affects the residual moisture in the laundry and the sound emissions of the washing machine.

The higher the spin speed, the lower the residual moisture in the laundry. However, the sound emissions of the washing machine will increase.

Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.

Detergent

  • 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. 1/3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

1. Prepare the laundry

Illustration of a person with wings and clothing, surrounded by falling objects (no text or symbols)

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 foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Tip: 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.

Pre-treating stains

■ Badly soiled areas and stains 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.

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.

⚠️ Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.

When pre-treating textiles, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.

⚠️ 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.

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, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this washing machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( Symbol).

2. Load the washing machine

Open the doorIllustration of a hand washing a washing machine with a directional arrow (no text or symbols)

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 into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.

Tip: Please note the maximum load for different wash programmes.

Close the doorIllustration of a medical device inside a circular frame with a cross symbol (no text or labels)

Adding detergentDiagram of a computer monitor with labeled buttons and ports (no text or symbols)

Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments.

Detergent for the pre-wash

Detergent for the main wash

Fabric softener, liquid starch, or capsules

capsules

Adding fabric conditionerMAX

Add fabric conditioner or liquid starch to the ✅ compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.

It will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the ✿ compartment.

If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the dispenser compartment, especially the siphon tube, regularly.

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 1/3 when washing a half load).

Too little detergent:

  • Results in laundry not being cleaned properly and may cause it to become grey and hard to the touch over time.
  • Can lead to a build-up of mould in the washing machine.
  • Results in grease not being completely removed from the laundry.
  • Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements.

Too much detergent

  • Causes poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
  • Causes higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated.
  • Is a greater burden on the environment.

Using liquid detergent with a pre-wash

Liquid detergent cannot be used for the main wash if the pre-wash has been selected.

Use powder detergent for the main wash.

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.

4. Add detergent

CapDosing

Three different types of capsule are available:

✿ = Fabric care (e.g. fabric conditioner, proofing agent) △ = Additives (e.g. detergent enhancer) ♂ = Detergent (for the main wash only)

Each capsule contains the correct amount for one wash cycle.

Caps are available to order from Miele or from the Miele online shop (see the end of this booklet for contact details).

⚠️ Capsules pose a health risk.

The ingredients of capsules can be hazardous to health if they are swallowed or come into contact with skin.

This washing machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load control. The washing machine takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate.

The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme 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 Woollens programme. The washing machine can be opened at any time.

1) If a temperature of 60 °C or higher is selected, two rinses are carried out. If a temperature of less than 60 °C is selected, three rinses are carried out. 2) An additional rinse is carried out if: - there is too much foam in the drum - a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has been selected. 3) An additional rinse is carried out if: - the Water + extra option has been selected and the options 02 or 03 have been activated in Programmable functions. 5) An additional rinse is carried out if: the Water + extra option has been selected.

Changing a programme (safety lock)

A programme, temperature, spin speed or selected options cannot be changed once the machine has been successfully started. This prevents the machine being operated unintentionally, e.g. by children.

If the washing machine is switched off during active programme operation, the standby function does not switch the washing machine off completely after 15 minutes. Safety functions continue to be active because there may still be water inside the drum.

Cancelling a programme

You can cancel a programme at any time after it has started.

■ Turn the programme selector to the ⏻ position. ■ Turn the programme selector to any position.

Rotating bars [ ]... [ ]... [ ] or -0- are shown on the time display.

The correct detergent

All detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging.

For users in Asia:

please use a low foaming detergent suitable for use in front-loading machines

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

  • the soiling level of the load
  • the quantity of the laundry
  • the water hardness level.

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

Water softeners

A water softener can be used to cut down on the use of detergents in areas with water hardness levels II and III. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.

You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I.

Water hardness levels

Hardness scaleHardness level in mmol/lGerman scale °d
I (soft) 0 – 1.5 0 – 8.4
II (medium) 1.5 – 2.5 8.4 – 14
III (hard) above2.5 above 14

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 conditioner and liquid starch

Fabric conditioner

makes garments soft to handle and helps prevent static cling when tumble drying.

Starch

stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.

Using fabric conditioner or starch separately

Prepare the starch in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Tip: When adding fabric conditioner, activate the Water + extra.

■ Add fabric conditioner to the ✿ compartment or insert the appropriate capsule. ■ Add liquid starch to the ✅ compartment and powder or viscous starch to the ⊥ compartment. ■ Select the Separate rinse/Starch programme. ■ Change the spin speed if necessary. ■ Activate the Cap 📋 sensor control if using a capsule. ■ Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor control.

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 follow the dye manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Miele detergents have been specially designed for day-to-day use in Miele washing machines. See “Detergents and care products” for more information about these detergents.

Problem Cause and remedy
The fault indicator light lights up, F and II appear alternately in the time display and the buzzer sounds.The water outlet is blocked or restricted.The drain hose has been fixed too high.Clean the drain filter and the drain pump.The maximum delivery head is 1 m.
The fault indicator light lights up, F and I0 appear alternately in the time display and the buzzer sounds.The water inlet is blocked or restricted.Check whether the stopcock is opened properly.Check whether the inlet hose is kinked.Check whether the water pressure is too low.
The filter in the water inlet is blocked.Clean the filter.
The fault indicator light lights up, F and I38 appear alternately in the time display and the buzzer sounds.The water protection system has reacted.Close the stopcock.Call the Service Department.
F and XXX appear alternately on the time display and the buzzer sounds.There is a fault.Disconnect the washing machine from the electricity supply. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or disconnect the fuse.Wait at least 2 minutes before reconnecting the washing machine to the electricity supply.Switch the washing machine on again.Restart the programme.If the fault message appears again, contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

During the programme, a symbol appears in the time display

Message Cause and remedy
-0-lights up The programmeme selector was moved to a different position after the programme had started.■ Turn the programme selector back to the original position.

At the end of the programme, an indicator light lights up in the control panel.

Problem Cause and remedy
The indicator light lights up.Excessive foam has built up during washing.■ Use less detergent next time, and follow the manufacturer's recommended dosage amounts on the packaging.
The indicator light lights up.When washing, a wash programme using a temperature above 60 °C has not been run for a long time.■ Run the Cottons 90 °C programme using Miele machine cleaner or a universal powder detergent.This will clean the washing machine and prevent a build-up of bacteria and odours.
F and 37 appear alternately on the time display.The Pre-ironing extra which runs at the end of the programme could not be carried out properly.■ Check whether the washing machine is aligned correctly (see “Installation – Levelling the machine”).■ Check whether the maximum drainage head height of 1 m has been exceeded.
If the fault message appears again, contact the Miele Customer Service Department. The washing machine can still be used, but without the Pre-ironing extra.

General problems with the washing machine

Problem Cause and remedy
The washing machine smells.The indicator light was ignored. A wash pro-gramme using a temperature above 60 °C has not been run for a long time.■ In order to prevent bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the washing machine, run the Cottons 90 °C programme using Miele machine cleaner or a universal powder detergent.
The door and the detergent dispenser drawer were left shut after washing.■ Leave the door and the detergent dispenser drawer slightly open to allow them to dry.
The machine shakes during the spin cycle.The machine feet are not level.■ Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.
The laundry has not been spun properly and is still wet.The machine detected an imbalance during the final spin cycle and reduced the spin speed automatically.■ Include both large and small items in the load as this will give better distribution during spinning.
Strange pump noises can be heard.This is not a fault.These slurping noises occur at the end of the pump sequence as a normal part of operation.
Large amounts of deter-gent residue remain in the detergent dispenser drawer.The water pressure is too low.■ Clean the water inlet filter.■ It may be useful to select the Water + extra option.
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water softeners tends to become sticky.■ In future, add washing powder into the dispenser drawer first, and then add the water softener.

General problems with the washing machine

Problem Cause and remedy
Fabric conditioner is not completely dispensed or too much water remains in the ✅ compartment.The siphon tube is not correctly positioned or is clogged.■ Clean the siphon, see “Cleaning and care - Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer”.
At the end of the programme there is still liquid in the capsule.The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.■ Clean the small pipe.
This is not a fault.For technical reasons a small amount of water will remain in the capsule.
There is water next to the capsule in the fabric conditioner compartmentThe ☐ sensor control was not activated.■ Make sure that you remember to activate the ☐ sensor control the next time you insert a capsule.
An empty capsule was not removed at the end of the last wash programme.■ Remove and dispose of the empty capsule at the end of each programme.
There is a blockage in the small pipe in the detergent drawer onto which the capsule is placed.■ Clean the small pipe.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause and 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 powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.■ Use the appropriate capsule or add stain removers to the ⏚ compartment.■ 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 60°C 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. These 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.■ Use the Dark garments/Denim programme for dark coloured laundry.

The door will not open

Problem Cause and remedy
The door cannot be pulled open during a programme.The drum is locked during a programme.■ Follow the description in “5. Starting a programme – Adding or removing laundry”.
After the programme is cancelled, flashing bars [...]...[.]...[.]... appear in the time display.For safety reasons the drum door cannot be opened if the suds temperature is higher than 55 °C.■ Wait until the temperature in the drum has decreased and the bars have stopped flashing in the display.
F and 35 alternately appear in the time display.The door lock has jammed.■ Call the Service Department.

■ 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 and not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.

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 spare parts department).

MIELE WED 125 WCS 8kg - Installing under a continuous work-top - 1

Risk of electric shock due to exposed cables

There is a risk of coming into contact with live parts while the lid is removed.

Building under kits* must only be installed/dismantled by a suitably qualified fitter in accordance with the instructions supplied.

  • A special building under kit* is required. The cover plate supplied with the building under kit is used to replace the machine lid. It is necessary to fit the cover plate for electrical safety reasons.
  • Connections for electricity, water and drainage should be installed in such a way that they remain accessible when the machine is in its final position.

Fitting instructions are supplied with the building-under kit.

Washer-dryer stack

The washing machine can be combined with a Miele tumble dryer in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit* to match your dryer is required.

a = at least 2 cm b = WTV without drawer: 172 cm WTV with drawer: 181 cm c = 64 cm

The water protection system

The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine 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 pressure of at least 7,000 kPa.

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 in and pumps the excess water away.

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

⚠️ 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 mains water supply.

The washing machine should be connected to the mains 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 water connection pressure needs to be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If the water connection pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

A stopcock with a 3/4 inch threaded union is required for the connection. If this is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the washing machine to the mains water supply.

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 the threaded union if necessary.

The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply. The washing machine must not be connected to a hot water supply.

Maintenance

Only use a genuine Miele hose that has been pressure tested to withstand at least 7,000 kPa should you ever need a replacement.

⚠️ Damage caused by dirty water.

A filter is located in the open end of the inlet hose and another in the intake point to protect the inlet valve in the washing machine.

These filters must not be removed.

Hose extension

Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are available from your Miele Dealer or Miele as optional extras.

Water 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 free of kinks.

If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 5 m. Accessories are available from Miele or from 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 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. Accessories are available from Miele or from your Miele dealer.

Drainage options:

  1. Directed into a sink or basin:

Please note:

- Hook the hose over the edge and secure it.

- If the water is pumped into a washbasin, make sure that it can drain away freely. Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine.

  1. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no need to use a siphon).
  2. Connected securely to a floor drain (gully).
  3. Connected securely to a washbasin with plastic nipple.

Please note:

■ 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

The washing machine is supplied with an electrical connection cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a switched socket.

The socket must be easily accessible after the washing machine has been installed. If that is not possible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.

⚠️ Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the washing machine to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable. Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter.

The electrical system must comply with local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). We recommend the use of a suitable RCD.

If the connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a qualified technician or the Miele Customer Service Department.

The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare the specifications on the data plate with those of the electricity supply and make sure that they match.

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of BS OH-SAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
