Caring for the environment Disposal of the packaging material The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine against transport damage. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can therefore be recycled. Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non- compliance with these instructions. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
Warnings and safety notes Appropriate use The washing machine is only suitable for washing fabrics with a care label stating that they are suitable for machine washing. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or op- eration of the machine.
Page 9
Warnings and safety notes If the machine is used in a commercial environment it may only be operated by instructed/trained personnel. If the machine is used in a publicly accessible area, the supervisor must ensure that it can be operated safely without risk of danger.
Warnings and safety notes Foreseeable misuse Never use solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to compon- ent parts and create toxic steam and fumes. Risk of fire and explo- sion! ...
It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested and in case of any doubt the on-site wir- ing system should be inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.
Page 12
Warnings and safety notes For hard-wired machines, an all-pole means of deactivation must be provided on site. If the machine is to be hard-wired, there must be a means of dis- connecting all poles from the power supply. The mains isolator must be close to the washing machine and be clearly identifiable, un- hindered and easily accessible at all times.
If, however, you do wish to de- scale your washing machine, only use proprietary non-corrosive de- scaling agents. Special descaling agent is available from your Miele dealer or from the Miele Customer Service Department. Strictly ob- serve the instructions for the descaler.
Page 14
Warnings and safety notes Do not store or use petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable sub- stances near the washing machine. Do not use the machine lid as storage space. Risk of fire and explosion! Do not store chemicals (liquid detergents, additives) on the ma- chine lid.
Warnings and safety notes Chlorine and component damage Frequent use of chlorine products increases the risk of damage to components. The use of substances containing chlorine, such as sodium hypo- chlorite and chlorine bleach in powder form, can result in damage to the protective layer of stainless steel and corrosion on components.
Warnings and safety notes Accessories Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and/or product liability claims will be invalidated. Disposing of your Ensure that the door locks are unusable when disposing of or old machine scrapping old washing machines.

Installation Installing the washing machine The washing machine must be installed by Miele Customer Service Department or by an authorised dealer. Please observe the inform- ation on the installation plan. This washing machine is only intended for items of laundry that have not been proofed with dangerous or inflammable substances.
Page 54
Installation Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and vibrations may occur. Tip: Have the installation site inspected and seek the advice of a spe- cialist in instances where increased noise may cause a nuisance.
Installation For easy maintenance For ease of future maintenance and servicing, the minimum dimen- sions and distance to the wall must be observed to enable access. The minimum dimensions and distance to the wall must be ob- served. Minimum safety distance to the wall approx. 400 mm to allow for maintenance.
Installation Installing the washing machine Transport the washing machine to the installation site. Ensure that it is stable during transportation. Do not pick it up by the drum door. The washing machine must not be installed under a counter. Installation on a plinth The machine may be installed on a steel plinth with an open or closed base or on a concrete plinth.
Installation Transit bars Removing the transit bars Release the catch and turn the left-hand transit bar 90° clockwise. Pull out the transit bar. Release the catch and turn the right-hand transit bar 90° anti-clock- wise.
Page 59
Installation Pull out the transit bar. Fit the supplied stoppers onto the two holes. Retain the transit bars. They need to be refitted should the machine ever need to be moved again. Refitting the transit bars Refitting is carried out by reversing the procedure. ...
Installation Levelling the machine Ensure that the machine feet and the installation surface are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle. Incorrect installation may increase water and energy consumption and may cause the machine to move about. The four adjustable feet are used to level the washing machine.
Installation Water connection According to national regulations for drinking water quality, with ef- fect from 21 March 2021, a non-return valve to prevent backsi- phoning must be fitted between the stopcock and the water inlet hose during commissioning on all appliances in Germany. The non- return valve prevents water from the water inlet hose from flowing back into the on-site drinking water supply.
Installation Cold water con- For the cold water connection one stopcock each with a ¾" screw nection thread is required. If a water connection is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the washing machine to the mains water supply. The water inlet hose for cold water is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
Page 63
Miele Customer Service Department or your Miele dealer. For a drain height of more than 1 m, a replacement drain pump for a delivery head of max. 1.8 m is available from the Miele Customer Ser- vice Department or from your Miele dealer.
The washing machine must be disconnected from the mains to do this. Then start the commissioning process. Optional accessories Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this ma- chine. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will in- validate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
