User Manual Operating instructions
Washing machine

To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the appliance, it is essential to read these instructions before it is installed and used for the first time.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
**** Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

  • Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
  • Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
  • Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.
  • Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

  • Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical data”.

  • Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

  • Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

  • Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or nonmains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.

  • Reliable and safe operation of this washing machine can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

  • The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

  • Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the risk of overheating).

  • Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

  • The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.

  • Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

  • The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

  • If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

  • In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washing machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
    – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
    – it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.

  • The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.

  • The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and must not exceed 1000 kPa.

  • This washing machine must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

  • Do not make any alterations to the machine, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

  • In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the machine warranty.

Correct use

  • Do not install the washing machine in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

  • Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see “Installation – Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

  • Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

  • Flooding danger.
    If hooking the drain hose into a laundry washtub, check that the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the laundry tub from overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is  secure, so that the force of the water flowing out of the hose does not dislodge it.

  • Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

  • Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam function. There is a danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass. Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dissipated.

  • The maximum load for this washing machine is 8.0 kg (dry weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

  • If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale it, only use a proprietary natural citric acid based descaling agent. Miele recommends using Miele descaler for washing machines which is available to order online at shop.miele.com (depending on country) or from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.

  • Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

  • Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.

  • Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing benzine, to clean the external surfaces of the machine. They can cause damage to plastic surfaces.

  • Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

  • Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in this machine.

  • If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

Accessories and spare parts

  • Only use original Miele accessories and spare parts. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
  • A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
  • Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your washing machine.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Useful tip: For safety reasons, close the door when the washing machine is not in use. Otherwise there is a danger of objects being placed inadvertently in the drum. If these remain unnoticed and were washed in the next load, they could damage the laundry. An open door is also a danger to pets and children. The appliance is now ready for use.

Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption
– To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load size for the wash programme you are using. This will keep the energy and water consumption to a minimum in relation to the size of the load.
– Programmes that are more efficient with regard to energy and water consumption generally have a longer running time. By extending the programme running time, the wash temperature that is actually reached can be reduced while still providing the same wash results.
For example, the Cottons programme has a longer running time than the Cottons 40°C or 60°C programme, but the Cottons programme is more efficient in terms
of energy and water consumption.
– Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.
Information about subsequent tumble drying
The spin speed selected affects the residual moisture in the laundry and the sound emissions of the washing machine.
The higher the spin speed, the lower the residual moisture in the laundry. However, the sound emissions of the washing machine will increase.
Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme to save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
Hygiene in the washing machine
Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergents can cause bacteria and odours to build up in the washing machine. Miele therefore recommends cleaning the washing machine once every month.
When the indicator light lights up and  appears in the time display, the washing machine must be cleaned.
Detergent consumption
– For precise dispensing, use automatic detergent dispensing.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Preparing the laundry

Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig 11 Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.
Useful tip : Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash white and coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Useful tip : Please refer to the Miele website or Miele@mobile App for more  information on stain removal.
Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solventbased cleaning agents.
If solvent-based cleaning agents are used, an explosive mixture can form.
Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.
General tips
– Curtains: remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag.
– Remove or sew in any loose underwiring in bras or shirt collar stiffeners.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc. before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creasing.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
Useful tip: Please note the maximum load size for different wash programmes.
Closing the door
Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig 15 Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.

**Adding detergent

**

There are several options for adding detergent.
TwinDos
The washing machine is equipped with the TwinDos system.
TwinDos has to be activated as described in “Before using for the first time”.
The TwinDos system can only be operated with the Miele UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 detergents.
How UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 work

UltraPhase 1 is a liquid detergent which dissolves dirt and removes the most common stains. UltraPhase 2 is a bleaching agent and removes stubborn stains. For the best washing result, these two agents are dispensed at separate times during the wash process. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 clean white and coloured fabrics thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 single use cartridges are available to order from Miele or via the internet at shop.miele.com (see the end of this booklet for details).
Activating TwinDos dispensing
TwinDos dispensing is automatically activated for all programmes in which dispensing is possible.
The TwinDos coloured items sensor lights up. The TwinDos white items sensor lights up dimly in certain wash programmes.
Useful tip:
The detergent dispensing quantities are preset. If too much foam builds up, you can reduce the dispensing quantities using the and programmable functions.
Changing TwinDos dispensing
You can change the suggested colour composition of the laundry.
– TwinDos white items sensor for white or light-coloured fabrics
– TwinDos coloured items sensor for colour fabricsMiele 11 625 472 Washing
Machine - Fig 19The brightly lit sensor is activated.
Touch the TwinDos white items sensor if required.
Deactivating TwinDos dispensing
Touch the brightly lit TwinDos white items or TwinDos coloured items sensor.
Both sensors light up dimly and dispensing is deactivated.
Degree of soiling of the laundry
There are 3 different degrees of soiling.
The quantity of detergent dispensed via TwinDos and the quantity of water required for rinsing are preset for the normal degree of soiling.
– Light
No visible soiling or stains
– Normal
Visibly soiled and/or just a few light stains.
– Heavy
Heavily soiled and/or clearly visible stains.
Useful tip: You can set another degree of soiling using the programmable function.
Using other methods to remove stains
If you wish to use additional methods of stain removal, you have the following options:
– Using the Booster cap and activating CapDosing.
– Add stain remover to the compartment.
Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic front loading washing machines can be used with this appliance. Please observe the instructions for use and dosage on the detergent packaging.
Ensure that TwinDos dispensing is deactivated.
Filling with detergent
Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig 20 Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergents to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the total recommended amount as follows: add ⅓ to compartment “I” and ⅔ to compartment “II”)
Detergent for the main wash
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or capsules
Adding fabric softenerMiele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig
21 Add fabric softener or liquid starch to the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse. At the end of the programme a small amount of water remains in the fabric softener compartment.
Starch can make the siphon tube sticky.
If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the dispenser compartment, especially the siphon tube, regularly.
Tips on dosing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level of soiling of the laundry and the size of the load. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (e.g. reduce the amount of detergent by ⅓ when washing a half load).
Too little detergent results in:
– laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.
– a build-up of mould in the washing machine.
– grease not being completely removed from the laundry.
– limescale deposits on the heater elements.
Too much detergent results in:
– poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
– a higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated.
– a greater burden on the environment.
Using liquid detergent with a prewash
Liquid detergent cannot be used for the main wash if the pre-wash has been selected.
Use TwinDos dispensing if you are activating the pre-wash.
Using detergent tablets or pods
Always put detergent tablets or pods directly in the drum with the laundry.
They cannot be added via the detergent dispenser drawer.
See “Detergent” for further information on detergents and dosage.
CapDosing
Three different types of capsule are available:
  = Fabric care (e.g. fabric softener)
= Additives (e.g. booster)
= Detergent (for the main wash only)
Each capsule contains the correct amount for one wash cycle.
You can order the capsules online at shop.miele.com (depending on country) or from Miele (see the end of this booklet for contact details).
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be hazardous to health if they are swallowed or come into contact with skin.
Keep capsules out of the reach of children.

    Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig 27

  • Check the folds in the door seal for any small articles, e.g. buttons, which might be lodged there.

Useful tip: For safety reasons, close the door when the machine is not in use. Otherwise there is a danger of objects being placed inadvertently in the drum. If these remain unnoticed and were washed in the next load, they could damage the laundry. An open door is also a danger to pets and children.

  • If applicable, remove the used capsule from the detergent dispenser drawer.

Useful tip: Leave the detergent dispenser drawer slightly open to allow it to dry.
Spinning
Final spin speed in wash programmes
When a programme is selected, the sensor for the optimum spin speed for that programme will be brightly lit up in the control panel.
A faster spin speed can be selected for certain wash programmes.
The highest selectable spin speed is indicated in the table.

Programme rpm
ECO 40-60 1400
Cottons 1400
Minimum iron 1200
Delicates 900
Woollens 1200
Express 20 1200
Dark garments/Denim 1200
Shirts 900
Proofing 1200
Drain/Spin 1400

Rinse and interim spin
There is a spin after the main wash and between the rinses. A reduction in the final spin speed will also reduce the interim spin speed. If a spin speed of less than 700 rpm is selected for the Cottons programme, an additional rinse is introduced.
Deselecting final spin (Rinse hold)
Touch the sensor (Rinse hold).
The laundry is not spun after the final rinse and remains in the rinse water. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme.
Ending a programme with a spin cycle
The sensor for the optimum spin speed lights up in the control panel. You can change the spin speed.

  • Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor.

Ending a programme without a spin cycle

  • Reduce the spin speed to .
  • Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor.

Deselecting the interim spin and the final spin
Touch the sensor.
After the last rinse, the water will be pumped away and the Anti-crease phase will switch on.
In some programmes an additional rinse is introduced with this setting.

Delay start/SmartStart

Delay start
With Delay start you can delay the start of a programme.
This function is active when the SmartGrid programmable function is switched off.
You can delay the start of a programme from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours. This allows you to make use of night-time economy electricity rates, for example.

The door lock is released.

  • Select a programme and a new Delay start time if required.

SmartStart (only functional in selected countries)
The SmartStart function lets you define a time period during which your washing machine will start automatically based on an external signal. The machine will start on receipt of a signal, e.g. from your energy supplier, that indicates that the electricity rate is particularly economical.
This function is active when the SmartGrid programmable function is switched on.
The timeframe can be defined between 30 minutes and 24 hours. During this period, the washing machine waits for the external signal. If no signal is sent during the defined period, the washing machine starts the wash programme.
Setting the timeframe

If the SmartGrid programmable function is activated, the function of the sensor changes. The time display no longer shows the Delay start period, and instead shows the time period in which your washing machine can be started automatically (see “Programmable functions  SmartGrid”).
The procedure for setting this is the same as for setting the time for Delay start.

  • Touch the sensor.
  • Set the time period you want using the or sensor.
  • Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor.

This washing machine has fully electronic controls with automatic load control. The washing machine takes in the right amount of water required for the programme depending on the amount of laundry and its absorbency rate.
The programme sequences outlined in the chart are based on the basic programme with a full load.
Special features in the programme sequence
Anti-crease:
At the end of the programme the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
Exception: There is no Anti-crease phase in the Woollens programme.
The door can be opened at any time during the Anti-crease phase.

  1. If a temperature of 60°C or higher is selected, two rinses are carried out. If a temperature of less than 60°C is selected, three rinses are carried out.
  2. An additional rinse is carried out if:
    – there is too much foam in the drum.
    – a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has been selected.

Changing the programme sequence

Changing the programme (safety lock)
It is not possible to change the programme, the temperature, the spin speed or the selected Extras after the programme has started. This prevents the appliance being operated unintentionally, e.g. by children.
If the washing machine is switched off during active programme operation, the standby function does not switch the washing machine off completely after 15 minutes. Safety functions continue to be active because there may still be water inside the drum.
Cancelling a programme
You can cancel a programme at any time after it has started.

  • Turn the programme selector to the  position.
  • Turn the programme selector to any position.

Rotating bars or are shown in the time display.
The water is pumped away and the door lock is released.
Selecting a new programme

  • Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
  • Check that there is still detergent in the dispenser drawer. Add more detergent if necessary.
  • Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor.

Detergent

The correct detergent
All detergents produced for automatic front loading washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– The soiling level of the laundry.
– The quantity of laundry.
– The water hardness level. Check with your local water authority if you do not know the water hardness level in your area.
Detergent dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent, buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Colour run and dye removers/ dyes
Damage due to colour run/dye removers.
Colour run and dye removers can cause corrosion in the washing machine.
Do not use colour run or dye removers in this washing machine.
Dyes suitable for use in domestic washing machines can be used.
However, please note that the salt used in the dyeing process can cause corrosion to stainless steel components in the machine if you use dye frequently. Always observe the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Fabric softeners and liquid starch
Fabric softeners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Fabric shapers are synthetic starches and give an even stiffer hold.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.
Miele detergents
Miele detergents have been specially designed for everyday use in Miele washing machines. See “Detergents and care products” for more information about these detergents.

General problems with the washing machine

Problem

|

Possible cause and remedy

---|---
The washing machine smells.| The indicator light lighting up and appearing in the time display was ignored. A wash programmeusing a temperature above 60°C has not been run for a long time.
■In order to prevent bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the washing machine, run the Cottons 90°C programme using Miele IntenseClean machine cleaner or a universal powder detergent.
The detergent dispenser drawer was left closed after washing.
■  Leave the detergent dispenser drawer slightly open to allow it to dry.
The machine shakes during the spin cycle.| The machine feet are not level.
■ Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.
The laundry has not been spun properly and the laundry is still wet.| The machine detected an imbalance during the final spin and reduced the spin speed automatically.
■ Include both large and small items in the load as this will give better distribution.
The pump makes strange noises.| This is not a fault.
These slurping noises occur at the end of the pump sequence as a normal part of operation.

General problems with the washing machine

Problem

|

Possible cause and remedy

---|---
Large amounts of detergent residue remain in the detergent dispenser drawer.| The water pressure is too low.
■ Clean the water inlet filter.
■ Please note that the water pressure must be at least 100 kPa (1 bar).
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water softeners tends to become sticky.

Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and, in the future, add washing powder to the dispensing drawer first, and then add the water softener.

Fabric softener is not completely dispensed or too much water remains in the compartment.| The siphon tube is not correctly positioned, or is clogged up.
■Clean the siphon (see “Cleaning and care – Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer”).
At the end of the programme there is still liquid in the capsule.| The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.
■ Clean the small pipe.
This is not a fault.
For technical reasons, a small amount of water will remain in the capsule.
There is water next to the capsule in the fabric softener compartment.| The sensor was not activated.
■ Make sure that you remember to activate the sensor the next time you insert a capsule.
An empty capsule was not removed at the end of the last wash programme.
■ Remove and dispose of the empty capsule at the end of each programme.
The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto which the capsule is placed is blocked.
■ Clean the small pipe.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem|

Possible cause and remedy

---|---
Liquid detergent does not give the required result.| Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.
■ Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process removes stains effectively.
■ Use a general purpose powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.
Grey, greasy particles cling to washed laundry.| Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
■ Use more detergent or liquid detergent.
■ Before washing the next load, run a Cottons 60°C programme with powder detergent but without a load.
White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark textiles after washing.| The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry.
■ Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush once the laundry is dry.
■ Wash dark textiles using a detergent which does not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually do not contain zeolites.
■ Use the Dark garments/Denim programme.

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 59 x 52 x 3 cm). 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

Useful tip: I f 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.Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig
54Using the spanner supplied, turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction. Then turn counter nut 2 together with foot 1 to unscrew.Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig 55

  • 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.
Do not remove the washing machine lid.
This washing machine (with lid intact) can be pushed under a worktop if there is space to do so.
Plinth
The washing machine can be installed on a plinth with drawer (please note the plinth may not be available in all countries).
The plinth must be purchased as a pair and secured to the second plinth supporting another tumble dryer or washing machine.
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:Miele 11 625 472 Washing Machine - Fig
56 a = at least 2 cm
b = WTV without drawer: 172 cm
WTV with drawer: 181 cm
c = 65 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 7000 kPa.
Electronic unit and machine housing
– Sump: any leaking water from the washing machine is collected in the floor tray. There is a float switch to close the water intake valve. The water inlet is shut off and any water inside the suds container is drained away.
– Leak protection: any leaking water that is not collected in the sump is detected. The water inlet is shut off and any water inside the suds container is drained away.
– Overflow protection: this prevents the washing machine from taking in too much water and overflowing. 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
Connecting the water inlet
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 100 kPa (1 bar) and 1000 kPa (10 bar). If the water connection pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
A tap with a ¾ inch threaded union is required for the connection. If this is not available, only a qualified plumber may connect the washing machine to the mains water supply.
The screw thread is subject to water connection pressure.
Check that the connection is leakproof. Slowly turn on the tap.
Correct the position of the seal and screw thread 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 7000 kPa.
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 2.5 m or 4.0 m in length are available from Miele as optional accessories (depending on country).
Drainage
The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 1 m high delivery head. For the water to drain freely, the hose must be free of kinks.
If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 5 m. The necessary parts can be ordered from Miele (depending on country).
For a delivery head of more than 1 m (up to a max. of 1.8 m), a replacement drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice.
For a delivery head of 1.8 m, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be ordered from Miele (depending on country).
Drain hose connection options

  1. Directed into a laundry trough or tub or into the sud-saver pipe of a laundry trough or tub.
    Please note:
    – Hook the hose over the edge and secure it.
    – Make sure that the water can drain away freely without hindrance.
    Otherwise there is a risk of water overflowing or of some of the drained water being sucked back into the machine.
    2. Connected securely to a trapped waste pipe.
    3. Connected securely to a floor drain (gully).

Using the elbow
To prevent the drain hose from slipping, use the enclosed elbow.

Electrical connection
The washing machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a switched socket.
The socket should be easily accessible after the machine has been installed. If the switch is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles.
Risk of fire from overheating!
Connecting the washing machine t  a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable.
Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install a suitable residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after the installation has been completed.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent technician or by a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard.
The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand- alone, solar and/or battery systems.
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
