Caring for the environment Disposal of the packaging material The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine against transportation 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.
This prevents both personal injury and dam- age to the washing machine. Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the in- structions in the section on installing the washing machine as well as the safety notes and warnings.
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.
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! When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole ...
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.

Warnings and safety notes The plug for the washing machine must always be kept accessible so that the machine can be easily disconnected from the power sup- ply. 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- ...
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.

Warnings and safety notes There is a fan outlet on the back of the machine. Under no circum- stances must this be blocked. Please observe the minimum distance on the installation diagram. Only use dyes, dye removers and descalers suitable for use in a ...
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.
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 ...

Installation Installing the washing machine The washing machine must be installed by Miele Customer Service Department or by an authorised dealer. Please observe the informa- tion on the installation plan. This washing machine is only intended for items of laundry that have not been proofed with dangerous or inflammable substances.
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 Transport safety devices Removing the transport safety devices The 2 transport safety devices at the front are each secured with 3 hexagon screws. The transport safety devices at the back are each secured with 4 hexagon screws. The transport safety devices must only be removed when the washing machine is in its installation site, before it is commissioned.
Hoses must be replaced with hoses tested for a burst pressure of at least 70 bar (7000 kPa) and for water temperatures of a minimum of 90 °C. This also applies for associated connection fittings. Miele original re- placement parts fulfil these requirements. Tip: The hot water supply must not exceed a maximum temperature...
Installation Dispensing agent connection to the liquid dispensing mixing compartment Connections 1 and 2 are provided for viscous agents. These connect- ors are sealed and need to be drilled open using an 8 mm drill bit. Connections 1 and 2 can also be used for high pressure dispensing systems with water injection.
Installation Drainage Drain valve DV on machine side DN 70, on-site socket DN 70. Flow rate temporary 200 l/min. If the slope for drainage is extremely steep, the piping must be vented to prevent a vacuum from forming in the washing machine’s drainage system. Foam and vapour venting kit BWS If excessive suds form, foam may escape from the vapour extraction.
