Page 7: Economical Usage
– Use only the correct amount of deter- gent required for the water hardness in your area. Miele recommends the use of low-sudsing powder deter- gents, as their characteristics allow them to perform better in front-load- ing machines than regular powder or liquid detergents. -
Page 8: Before Using For The First Time

Page 9: Preparing The Laundry
Preparing the laundry Empty all pockets. Foreign objects inadvertently left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips,etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine. Sort the laundry Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label. -
Page 10: Textile Care Symbols
Textile care symbols Textile care symbols The textile care symbols on clothing in- dicate the maximum temperature at which the clothing should be washed and are a good guideline when choos- ing a programme. In choosing a pro- gramme, it can be taken into account that front-loading machines are gentler on clothing than most top-loading, verti- cal tub machines. -
Page 11: Adding Detergent
Adding detergent Powder detergent should be added to compartment j at the beginning of each wash cycle. Miele recommends the use of low-suds- ing powder detergents, as their charac- teristics allow them to perform better in front-loading machines than regular powder or liquid detergents. -
Page 12: Adding Fabric Softener
Never mix fabric softener and starch together in compartment p. This can lead to a blockage in the washer’s over- flow system. Use the “Starch” programme for dis- pensing liquid starch (see Pg. 15). -
Page 13: Programmes
This is because front-loading machines balance the 5 basic washing factors (mechanical action, water, detergent, temperature and time) differ- ently than do vertical tub machines. Miele’s front-loading machines use an ad- vanced hydromatic washing action, precise and steady temperatures, less water and detergent than vertical tub machines but more time. -

Cleaning and Care Cleaning and Care Cleaning the drain pump and lint trap The lint trap generally will require clean- ing only if small items are frequently left in pockets, or if objects containing long fibers or hair (Afghans, dog blankets, etc.) are often washed. - Page 27 Cleaning and Care Once the flow of water ceases, remove the lint trap and clean it.

If, after checking the above, too little or no water is taken in during the next pro- gramme, call the Miele Service Depart- ment. - Page 30 The “Main wash” indicator lamp flashes during, or after the end of a programme. If this occurs again during the next pro- gramme, call the Miele Service Depart- ment. Despite adequate water sup- ply pressure, the machine takes a long time to fill.
- Page 31 Problem solving guide Excessive build-up of foam To avoid this problem from the outset, take note of the following points: Use only low-sudsing powder deter- gents. If foaming still occurs, cut back to approximately 2/3 of the manufacturer’s recommended quan- tity.
- Page 32 Liquid detergent does not contain any bleaching agents capable of removing stains such as fruit, coffee or tea. Miele recommends the use of a low- sudsing powder detergent. These detergents usually contain agents ca- pable of removing these stains.
