May not be a popular suggestion....
But suggest you just call in an electrician to hard wire the connection properly. That or just put a proper plug on the thing to match whatever outlet you have.
This and pull the electrical schematic (should be just behind front door of cabinet) so you and or the electrician can see what is supposed to be what.
Other solution is to have Miele make a service call (which will cost dear for what it is, but maybe less than electrician) to do same (hard wire connection or attach proper plug or even cord.
At least one member here has a European Miele washer that operates perfectly (IIRC) on North American 220v/60hz power, so it can be done.
While you likely won't find a Miele tech familiar with your washer, they ought to know enough on how to wire/attach a power cord as things are almost basically same. Or at least were until Miele stopped importing 220v washing machines to North America. Wait I take that back, the Miele professional washers, dryers and ironers all still run on 208v-240v power.
Keep harping on about schematic because it might very well be that problem lies not with how you are hooking up unit, but something traceable further up the line. For that you need to look at certain things and perhaps get out a multi meter to determine if power is going where it should.
