Economical usage Economical usage The key to good wash results is finding the correct combination of detergent and temperature, and then allowing the washing machine to optimize their usage through its programming. Programme lengths can vary for this reason. With the “Hydromatic” system, the drum can revolve at various speeds. Faster and slower agitation speeds, along with pauses for soaking, combine to ensure excellent results.
Preparing the Laundry Preparing the Laundry The headings numbered (1,2,3,...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide. Before washing 1 Prepare the wash load Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label and color. Only wash items that are labeled machine washable by the manufacturer. Dark fabrics often contain “excess dye” and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.
Preparing the Laundry 2 Press the “Door” button to open the door 3 Load the machine Unfold the laundry and place it in the drum. For best results we recommend washing mixed loads consisting of both large and small items. This improves the washing effectiveness and helps distribute the load evenly to keep the machine stable and reduce noise during spinning. Recommended load sizes are noted below: COTTONS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.0 kg PERMANENT PRESS . . . . . . . . . 2.
End of programme End of programme After washing 1 Turn the programme selector switch to “Start/Finish” 2 3 Press the “ON/OFF” button. 4 Remove the wash. 5 Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles such as buttons or nails which may be lodged there.

Adding detergent Adding detergent Detergent should be added to compartment j at the beginning of each wash cycle. Miele recommends the use of low-sudsing detergents, as their characteristics allow them to perform better in frontloading machines than regular powder or liquid detergents. It is important to add the correct amount of detergent, because... ...
Adding fabric softener or starch Adding fabric softener or starch If fabric softener is desired, it will work more effectively and be gentler on the clothes if it is dispensed in the final rinse cycle of the wash, rather than in the tumble dryer through the use of softener sheets. To automatically dispense fabric softener: Open the lid of compartment p. At the end of the programme a small amount of water will normally remain in compartment p.
Programmes Programmes The run time of front-loading machines is longer than that for most top-loading, vertical tub machines. This is because front-loading machines balance the 5 basic washing factors (mechanical action, water, detergent, temperature and time) diffently than do vertical tub machines. Miele’s front-loading machines use an advanced hydromatic washing action, precise and steady temperatures, less water and detergent than vertical tub machines but more time.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation surface Removing the shipping struts Experience has shown that a concrete floor is the most suitable surface for a washing machine. Concrete floors are far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors. Please note the following points: The machine must be level and securely positioned. To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Withdraw the two struts together with the support plate. Plug the two holes with the plastic caps supplied. The machine should not be moved without the transit struts in place. The transit fitting should be stored in a safe place for future use. It must be reinstalled before the machine moved. Reinstallation can be carried out by reversing the procedure.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Levelling the machine To ensure smooth operation, it is essential that the machine is level. Take care not to injure yourself or damage any surrounding furniture. Failure to level the machine can result in the machine “banging” in the spin cycle or “walking” across the floor during operaton. Energy and water use will also increase.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Try to rock the machine diagonally to find which diagonal is firmer. If the diagonal from front left to rear right is less firm, extend the front left leg. Adjust only the front left leg until both diagonals have the same stiffness. When finished, turn and lock the counternut on the front left leg. Building under All four counternuts must be tight against the bottom of the machine.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Washer and Dryer stack A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked with the washing machine. A stacking kit* is necessary and can be purchased from the Miele Spare Parts Department. Unscrew the remaining 7 screws from lower and side decor strips until the decor panel bows slightly and can then be taken out or put in place. Re-assemble in the reverse order and tighten the screws.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Any residual water left in the machine from the factory testing process can be flushed out as follows: Do not put any laundry in the machine. Water hardness reminder The amount of detergent needed to wash clothes depends on various factors, including the water hardness in your area. You can set the water hardness dial in the detergent dispenser as a reminder. Add a small amount of detergent to compartment j. Turn on the machine. Press the “Rapid wash” button.
