Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note:
The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
Install the machine on a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). The
base should span several joists and
be bolted to the joists and not only to
the floorboards. Check for the
presence of pipes and cables first.
Useful tip: If possible, install the
machine in a corner. This is usually the
most stable part of the floor.
Transporting the washing
machine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to
unsecured lid.
Make sure the fixings at the back of
the lid are secure. They may become
brittle due to external circumstances.
There is a danger of the lid being
pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the appliance, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and by the lid where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.

Covering the holes
Risk of injury from sharp edges!
There is a risk of injury from reaching
into holes that are not covered.
To avoid the risk of injury, the holes
for the transit bars must be covered
after the transit bars have been
removed.
Press the flaps firmly shut until they
click into place.
Securing the transit bars
Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure that
the top catch is located above the
holder.
Risk of damage from incorrect
transport.
The washing machine may become
damaged if moved without the transit
bars in place.
Keep the transit bars in a safe place.
Fit them again if the machine is to be
moved (e.g. when moving house).

Fitting the transit bars
Opening the flaps
Push against the catch with a pointed
object, e.g. a narrow screwdriver.
The flap will open.
Fitting the transit bars
Install the transit bars in reverse order
to their removal.
Useful tip: If you lift the drum slightly,
the transit bars can be pushed in more
easily.

Levelling the machine
The washing machine must stand
perfectly level on all four feet to ensure
safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
for levelling the washing machine. All
four feet are screwed in when the
appliance is delivered.
Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together with
foot 1 to unscrew.
Use a spirit level to check that the
washing machine is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again
using the spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
Risk of damage due to
incorrectly aligned washing machine.
There is a danger of the washing
machine moving about if the feet are
not secured.
Turn all four counter nuts for the feet
until they sit firmly up against the
housing. Please also check this for
the feet which did not need
adjustment.

Installing under a continuous
worktop
Risk of electric shock due to
exposed cables.
There is a risk of coming into contact
with live parts while the lid is
removed.
The fitting of cover plates and
stacking kits must only be
undertaken by qualified and
competent persons, in accordance
with the instructions supplied with
the kit.
- A special building under conversion
kit* is required. The machine lid must
be replaced by a cover plate. To
ensure electrical safety, the cover
plate must be fitted.*
- N.B.*
If you wish to push your machine
under a worktop and there is space
to do this without removing the lid,
the conversion kit is not necessary.
Otherwise the conversion kit is
essential.
- Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such a
way that they remain accessible
when the machine is in place.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the
conversion kit.
Washer and dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked
with the washing machine. The
appropriate “WTV” stacking kit* to
match your tumble dryer is required.
All parts marked * are available from
Miele.
Please note:
a= at least 2cm
b= WTV without drawer: 172 cm
WTV with drawer: 181 cm
c= 64 cm

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washing
machine and surrounds from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protection against bursting
The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressures up to 7000kPa.
Electronic unit and washing machine
housing
- Sump: Any leaking water is collected
in a sump in the base of the machine.
A float switches off the water inlet
valves, preventing any more water
from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
- Overflow protection: This prevents
the washing machine taking in too
much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches on and pumps the
excess water away in a controlled
way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washing machine from being emptied
completely.

Connection to the water supply
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated mains water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to potable water.
The washing machine must be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.
The water connection pressure needs
to be between 100kPa (1 bar) and
1000kPa (10 bar). If the water
connection pressure exceeds 1000kPa,
a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
A tap with a ¾inch threaded union is
required for the connection.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
Turn on the tap slowly and check for
leaks. Correct the position of the
washer and union if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement. These are
tested to withstand pressures up to
7000kPa.
A filter is located in the open end
of the inlet hose and another in the
intake point to protect the inlet valve.
The filters must remain in place, and
be replaced after cleaning.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5m or 4.0m in length
are available from Miele as optional
accessories (depending on country).
