Do not add these items to the washload. 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, as the gas is flammable . Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not tamper with the controls. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. 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 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 can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances.

Please see the "Installation instructions". For safety reasons, it is not possible to run a spin cycle before the first use. A program must be run without laundry and without detergent to flush out any residual water from the factory testing process, as well as to activate the spin cycle. Using detergent can cause sudsing and ball valve activation, resulting in the future maximum use of detergent. ^ Turn on the water valve. ^ Press the "On/Off" button. ^ Select the "Extra White" program with the program buttons. ^ Press the "Start/Stop" button T. Once the program ends, the washer can be used for laundry. 6 Using the washer 1. Prepare and sort the laundry ^ Empty all pockets. General tips ­ Dark fabrics often bleed the first few times they are washed. They should be washed seperately several times before being included in a mixed load. ­ Remove any lead weights or strips from curtains before washing. ­ Loose undergarment underwires should be removed or sewn in place before washing. ­ Woolens and knitted garments should be turned inside out. ,Foreign objects left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine. ^ Sort the laundry. Only wash items in the machine 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. ^ Pretreat stains. Tough stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea, etc.) or badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and cuffs) should be penetrated with a stain remover or a paste made from powdered detergent and warm water. ­ Close zippers, hooks and eyelets before washing. ­ Comforter covers and pillowcases should be fastened in order to prevent small items from rolling inside of them. Do not machine wash items if it is not recommended on the fabric care label. ,Do not use chemical solvents in the machine. 7 Using the washer 2. Load the laundry ^ Turn on the washer using the "On/Off" button. ^ Open the drum door using the "Door" button. ^ Load the laundry into the drum. For best results, wash mixed loads of small and large items. This will improve washing effectiveness and help distribute the load evenly. Note: Overloading the washer will cause poor wash results and wrinkling. ^ Close the drum door. ^ Press the "PROGRAMS" button e or - until the desired program indicator lights. 3. Select a program To prevent damage to the door seal and clothing, make sure that there are no clothes caught between the drum door and the seal. 8 Using the washer Program guide Temperatures Fabric care symbol 8 E 7 6 e Options: Extended, Heavy Soil, Soak, Sensitive 8 E 7 6 e Options: Extended, Heavy Soil, Soak, Sensitive 9 ö Max High For white items with special hygienic demands, e.g. baby clothing, underwear, towels.

If a wash option is chosen and it is not compatible with the program, the indicator light will go out when the button is released. The buzzer will sound until the washer is turned off. Once activated, the buzzer is active in all programs unless turned off. The warning sound (indicating a fault has occured) will activate independent of whether the buzzer is turned on or off. 11 Using the washer 5. Select the temperature and spin speed The default temperature and spin speed will automatically be selected for each program. However, you can adjust the temperature and spin speed within the parameters of the selected wash program. Program Normal Wrinkle Free Sanitize Extra White Delicates Woolens / Silk / Handwash / Sturdy Custom Spin speed High Med High High Low High Slow Med Med Med-no Spin ^ Press the "TEMP" and "SPIN" buttons until the indicator of the desired setting lights. The laundry is spun after the main wash and between the rinse cycles. Reducing the final spin speed will also reduce the rinse spin speeds. If in the programs "Sturdy" and "Custom" a spin speed lower that "Med" is selected, an extra rinse cycle is added to remove any detergent left in the laundry. 12 Using the washer Special spin options Hold ^ Select "Hold". The laundry is not spun and remains soaking in water. This will prevent wrinkles if the laundry is not removed immediately at the end of the wash program. ­ To start the final spin: The washer is set to default to the maximum spin speed of the wash program. You can select a lower spin speed. Start the final spin with the "Start/Stop" T button. ­ To finish the program: Press the "Door" button. The water will be drained away. ­ Use the "Door" button to open the door. No spin ^ Select "No spin". The laundry is not spun after the final rinse, but the water is drained away. After the drain cycle, the washer goes immediately into the anti-crease cycle. Spinning between these rinses is also omitted in this setting. If "No spin" is selected in the programs "Sturdy" and "Custom", an extra rinse cycle is added. 13 Using the washer 6. Add detergent For optimum wash results, it is important to use the correct amount of detergent. Too little detergent may cause ­ Ineffective cleaning of laundry; fabrics may become gray and stiff over time. ­ Grease stains on the laundry. ­ Hard water deposits on the heating element. Too much detergent may cause ­ Oversudsing with minimal drum movement; poor wash, rinse and spin results. ­ Higher water consumption through an automatic, additional rinse cycle. ­ Higher environmental burden. ^ Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer and add detergent to the compartments. j = Detergent for the main wash i = Only add detergent (1/4 of the total recommended amount of detergent) to this compartment if the "Heavy Soil" wash option is selected. § = Fabric softener or liquid starch. ^ Close the detergent dispenser drawer. ,Do not use detergents containing chemical solvents. 14 Detergent Use only high-efficiency, low sudsing laundry detergent formulated for front loading washing machines. For wool and wool blend fabrics, use a detergent specially formulated for woolens. Follow instructions on the detergent packaging for the correct use and amount of detergent. Adjust the amount of detergent if the load is smaller or more or less soiled than normal. Add detergent to the main wash compartment j at the beginning of each wash program. Only add detergent (1/4 total recommended amount) to compartment i if the "Heavy Soil" option was selected. ^ If you are using liquid detergent and select the "Heavy Soil" option, use the liquid detergent insert in the main wash compartment j. This will prevent the detergent for the main wash from being used during the prewash. The amount of detergent used depends on the level of soiling: Light soiling No soiling or stains are visible. Normal soiling Some visible soiling or a few light stains. Heavy soiling Very visible soiling or stains. The size of the load and the water hardness level in your area have an impact on the amount of detergent necessary to obtain optimum wash results. If you do not know the water level hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. ,Do not use chlorine bleach! 15 Detergent Water hardness Hardness level I II III Water quality soft moderate hard to very hard German Water hardness hardness °d in mmol/l 0 - 1.3 0-7 1.3 - 2.5 over 2.5 7 - 14 over 14 Water softener If the water hardness level is between II and III, you can soften the water to reduce detergent consumption. The detergent packaging should indicate the correct amount to use in your machine. Add the detergent, then add the water softener. You can then use the recommended amount of detergent for water hardness level I. 16 Detergent Fabric softener Fabric softener added to the wash program will make fabrics feel softer and will reduce static cling in the dryer. ^ Open the lid of the fabric softener compartment §. Never mix fabric softener and starch together in the fabric softener compartment §. This will clog the dispenser. ^ Pour the amount of liquid fabric softener into the compartment according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not exceed the maximum fill level marked inside the compartment, as the excess will prematurely activate the siphon and be wasted. ^ Close the compartment lid and push in the dispenser drawer. The fabric softener will automatically be dispensed during the final rinse cycle. A small amount of water will remain in the compartment at the end of the program. 17 Detergent Starch Mild liquid starch is a synthetic starch wash used to give fabrics some stiffness. Starching can be included in any wash program as part of the final rinse. ^ Open the fabric softener compartment §. Fabric dye Do not use fabric dyes in this washer! ^ Add the recommended amount of starch to the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark. ^ Close the compartment lid and push in the dispenser drawer. ^ The starch will be dispensed during the final rinse. At the end of the program, a small amount of water will remain in the fabric softener compartment. 18 Using the washer 7. Select Delay Start (if needed) 8. Start the program If you wish, the start of the wash program can be delayed to take advantage of lower energy rates, or to have a load completed at a later time. Delay start allows you to delay the start of a program from 30 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours. ^ Press the "Delay Start" button. The Delay Start time will be extended with each press of the button. ­ For less than a 10 hour delay, the delay time extends in 30 minute increments. ­ For more than a 10 hour delay, the delay time extends in 1 hour increments. Cancelling Delay Start ^ If the display shows 24, press "Delay Start" again. ^ Press the flashing "Start/Stop T" button to begin the program. The display shows the maximum program run time. It will count down in minutes. For the first 10 minutes, the washer calculates the water absorbency of the laundry. The overall program time might be shortened or lengthened. 9. Activate the program lock (if necessary) ^ Press the "START" button until the "Child Lock" indicator lights up. See "Locking the washer" for further details. 19 Using the washer 10. Remove the laundry The "Status" indicator "Anti-Crease / End" will be displayed at the end of a program. ^ Use the "Door" button to open the drum door. Do not attempt to remove laundry from the washer if the drum is turning. You may seriously injure yourself. If the drum turns with the door open, contact Miele's Technical Service Department. ^ Remove the laundry. ^ Check the folds of the door seal for any small articles which may have been trapped. Check the drum for any missed pieces of laundry. Items inadvertently left in the washer may be damaged (e.g. shrink or discolor) during the next wash cycle. ^ Turn the washer off using the "On/Off" button. ^ Close the drum door. 20
