IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while using your appliance follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance. ▶ GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
▶ WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not install or use a washer with visible damage. ▶ Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not install your washing machine where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician. Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft.

Miele@home
Your washing machine is equipped with an integrated WiFi module.
To use this feature, you will need:
- A WiFi network
- The Miele@mobile app
- A Miele user account. The user account can be created via the Miele@mobile app.
The Miele@mobile app will guide you as you connect your washing machine to your home WiFi network.
Once your washing machine is connected to your WiFi network, you can use the app, for example, to carry out the following activities:
- Operate your washing machine remotely
- Access information about the operating status of your washing machine
- Access information about a program sequence on your washing machine
Connecting your washing machine to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the washing machine is switched off.
Before installing the washing machine in its final location, ensure the signal strength is sufficient for your WiFi network.
Availability of the WiFi connection
The WiFi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This can cause sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, the availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country.
The Miele@home service is not available in every country.
For information about availability, please visit www.miele.com.
Miele App
The Miele App is available to download free of charge from the Apple App Store® or from the Google Play Store™.

Take hold of the door and pull it open.
Tip: Leave the door slightly open to allow the drum to dry.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Energy and water consumption
- Make use of the maximum load that the wash program can accommodate. This will keep the energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load.
- When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the washing machine's automatic load control system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.
- Use the Express program for small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures. Using the corresponding temperature settings will save energy.
- Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odors to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month.
When the i indicator light lights up on the control field and 7 appears on the time display, the washing machine must be cleaned.
Detergent consumption
- Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended on the packaging.
- Adjust the dosage to the level 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).
- Only use highly efficient detergent with the following label:
When drying with a tumble dryer
Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash program to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
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 such foreign objects.
Sort the laundry
Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. Most garments have a fabric care label in the collar or side seam.
Sort the laundry by care label and color.
Tip: Dark fabrics often bleed the first few times they are washed. They should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably while still fresh. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft cloth. Do not rub!
Tip: Stains (such as blood, egg, coffee, and tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care. Please contact Miele directly or submit a request via the Internet page to obtain or view a copy of this manual.
Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents
Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating a stain, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with cleaning agents.
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 any lead weights or strips before washing.
- Loose bra underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing.
- Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing.
- Comforter covers and pillowcases should be fastened to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.
Do not wash items with the √ symbol on the fabric care label.

3. Loading the washing machine
Opening the door
■ Take hold of the door and pull it 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 creasing.
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.
Tip: Please note the maximum load for different wash programs.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
4. Selecting program settings
Selecting a temperature and spin speed

Detergent dispenser drawer
This washing machine requires high efficiency detergent. Adhere strictly to the dispensing amounts supplied by the detergent manufacturer. The detergents must be marked with the following label:
Filling with detergent
■ Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergents to the compartments.
△ Chlorine bleach for removing U stains Detergent for the main wash Fabric softener, liquid starch, or capsules
Using chlorine bleach
⚠️ Damage due to chlorine bleach. Textiles may be discolored or their fibers damaged.
Only use chlorine bleach on suitable textiles.
Chlorination must be activated in the programmable functions before chlorine bleach is first used.
Bleach may be used in the following programs:
- Normal
- Sanitize
- Dress Shirts
- Extra White
Dispensing bleach
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
■ Pour max. 1/4 cup (60 ml) of bleach into the △□ chamber.

Tips for dispensing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the maximum 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:
- The laundry is not cleaned properly and may become gray and hard to the touch over time.
- Can lead to a build-up of bacteria in the washing machine.
- Grease is not completely removed from the laundry.
- Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements.
Too much detergent

| The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.■ Clean the small pipe. |
Poor wash results
| Problem Possible cause | and solution |
| Liquid detergent is not achieving the required results. | Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching agents. Consequently, fruit, coffee, and tea stains cannot always be removed.■ Use 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 detergent dispenser drawer. |
| Gray, greasy particles cling to washed laundry. | Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils, ointments).■ Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with this type of soiled laundry.■ Before washing the next load, run a Normal program with liquid 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.■ In the future, wash dark textiles using a detergent which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do not usually contain zeolites.■ Use the Darks/Denim program to wash the textiles. |
The drum door cannot be opened
| Problem Possible cause | and solution |
| The door cannot be pulled open during a program. | The drum is locked during a program.■ Follow the description in “5. Starting a program – Adding or removing laundry”. |

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for this machine. It is 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:
■ Install the unit on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1 3/16" (61 x 61 x 3 cm) plywood base. Ideally the base should be large enough to span several joists and should be anchored to the joists and not just the floor boards.
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 raised 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 Service).
Transporting the washing machine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
The fixings at the back of the lid may become brittle due to external circumstances. 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 by the lid where it protrudes at the back of the appliance.

Installing the shipping struts
Opening the covers
■ Press against the catch with a thin object (a narrow screwdriver, for example).
The cover opens.
Installing the shipping struts
■ Install the shipping struts by following the instructions for their removal in reverse order.
Tip: The struts will slide in more easily if you lift the drum slightly.
Leveling the machine
The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase electric and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.
Unscrewing and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used to level the washing machine. All four feet are screwed in when the machine is delivered.
■ Using the wrench 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 again using the wrench supplied until it sits firmly up against the housing.
⚠️ Risk of damage due to incorrectly aligned washing machine. There is a danger of the washing machine moving about if the feet are not secured.
Turn all four counter nuts for the feet until they sit firmly up against the housing. Please also check this for the feet which did not need adjustment.

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system protects all parts of the washing machine and its surroundings from water damage.
The system consists of the following main components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic module and drainage and overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hoses
- Protection against the hoses bursting
The inlet hose can withstand pressure of more than 1,015 psi (7,000 kPa).
Electronic module 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.
Water intake
⚠️ Health risk and risk of damage due to contaminated incoming water. The quality of the incoming water must comply with the requirements for drinking water in the country in which the washing machine is being operated.
Always connect the washing machine to the drinking water supply.
The washing machine can be connected to a portable water supply. A non-return valve is not needed unless required by building code.
The washing machine has 1/2" (13 mm) pressure hoses with 3/4" (19 mm) female hose thread connections. If there is no water hookup, contact a plumber to install a connection. Make sure that the sealing ring is seated properly on the hose connector.
Replace the hose only with a genuine Miele hose, or with a hose able to withstand up to 145 psi (1,000 kPa) pressure. The water valve connector must also be able to withstand 145 psi (1,000 kPa).
The bolted connection is under water pressure. Open the water supply slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the rubber seal and the bolted connection if necessary.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has been tested to withstand pressure of at least 870 psi (6,000 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.
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 3.2 ft (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 16.4 ft (5 m).
Accessories are available from your Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service.
Drainage options:
- Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note:
- Hook the hose over the edge and secure!
- If the water is pumped into a sink, be sure that it can drain away quickly enough. 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 drain.
- Connected securely to a sink with a plastic nipple.
Installing the elbow
Use the elbow supplied to stop the drain hose from slipping.
■ Attach the elbow ② to the drain hose ①.
■ Place the end of the drain hose in a sink.
■ Use a strap with eyelet ① to stop the elbow from slipping.
