Disposal of the packing
material
The cardboard box and packing
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these
materials improperly by disposing of
them in your household waste can be
harmful to your health and the
environment. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste and follow
local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.
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 equipmentgrounding
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.
However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an
installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical
Service Dept. with specific requirements.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating
instructions.
If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes before using the washing
machine. This will release any built-up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time, the gas is flammable.
Before the appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
The drum door glass will be hot when washing at very high
temperatures. Do not touch the glass. Danger of burns! Keep
children away from the washer when in use.
Only use the washing machine to wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer to be machine washable on the fabric care
label. Any other applications may be dangerous.
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could
ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the wash load.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off
vapors which could ignite or explode.
Do not use cleaning solvents on or near the machine or the
controls. Contact with cleaning solvents will damage the surface..
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
Do not tamper with the controls.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. A Miele washer-dryer connection kit is
required as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the
washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer
and the Miele washing machine.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth (available as an optional
accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this
washing machine.
Should detergent enter the eyes, rinse out immediately with plenty
of lukewarm water. If accidentally ingested, seek medical advice
immediately. People who have sustained damage to the skin or who
have sensitive skin should avoid contact with the detergent.
Be careful when opening the door following use of the steam
function. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and
the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the
porthole glass. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.
The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6 lb (8 kg). See the
"Program guide" for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programs.
This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope
with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorized person or by Miele Technical Service.
This product may contain chemicals know to the state of
California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive
harm.

Energy and water consumption
Make use of the maximum load of
the respective wash program.
The energy and water consumption
will then be the lowest 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 (e.g.,
70°F/20°C). 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.
The washing machine provides you
with a reminder with the message
Sanitize info: Run a high temp. program or
the "Clean Machine" program in the
display.
Detergent consumption
Use the TwinDos system for exact
dispensing.
Adjust the dosage to the level of
soiling of the laundry.
Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended on the
packaging.
Only use high efficiency 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.
Before using for the first time

Any stickers from the front and the lid
Please do not remove any labels
(e.g., the data plate) which are visible
when you open the door.
This washing machine has undergone
a complete functional test at the
