Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details

Warning and Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions before using this machine for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, installation, use and maintenance of the machine. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.

Correct usage

This washer-dryer must only be used:

to wash textiles which are declared by the manufacturer on the care label to be machine washable, as well as hand washable woollens.

to dry textiles which have been washed in a water solution, marked on the manufacturer's wash care label as being suitable for tumble drying.

Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Do not let small children play with the machine and its controls or

operate it. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.

Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations.

It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician.

The 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, or

the mains fuse is withdrawn, or

the screw-out fuse is removed in countries where this is applicable.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

The Miele "Waterproof system" protects from water damage

provided the following conditions have been met:

the machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the electricity supply.

if a fault has been identified, the machine must be examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

Faulty components must only be exchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Use

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Take care, the metal cap is hot after drying. Open the door wide

after the drying cycle. Do not touch the metal cap located on the inside of the door glass. It will still be hot and could cause a burn.

Do not install your machine in rooms where temperatures below

freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure.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

fitting at the rear of the machine has been removed (see section on "Installation"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the stopcock 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 wash basin, check that

the water can drain off quickly enough to prevent the sink 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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole

glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures.

Do not let children touch it during a hot wash programme.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however,

you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. If in doubt contact the Miele Customer Service Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Never use solvent based cleaning agents in this machine, as this may

result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such detergents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.

Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based

cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

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.

Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to

remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

There is a danger of fire during drying with fabrics which:

contain rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials

have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents

have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances

which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged, the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

Make sure that any dispensing balls etc. are removed from laundry

before the drying programme. These dispensers can melt during the drying programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry. Do not use liquid dispenser balls or similar if you are planning to wash and then dry in one continuous sequence.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Disconnect and remove the mains plug from the socket. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

Description of the appliance

Important control panel features

Programme selector

The programme selector is used to set the

basic wash programmes and temperatures

and

the drying programmes and temperatures.

Additional option buttons

Additional options can be added to the basic programme. Pressing the relevant button selects or de-selects the particular option. An additional option is selected if its indicator lamp is on.

If the lamp does not come on, the function is not compatible with the programme you are trying to use it with. The indicator lamp will go out when the option button is released.

"Spin" button with indicator lamps

To change the spin speed press the "Spin" button.

It is not possible to select a spin speed higher than the permitted maximum spin for the basic wash programme. The indicator lamps show the setting selected.

Spinning at 400 - 1500 rpm

The spin can be set within this range for the

final spin during a wash programme or

for "Thermospin" during drying (see "DRYING - Programme selection" for information on the "Thermospin").

The final spin in a wash programme can also be deactivated:

^Press the "Spin" button until you reach

"Rinse hold"

The laundry is not spun and remains suspended in the final rinse water. This reduces creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the programme.

To continue the programme:

with a final spin

press the "Spin" button until you reach the spin speed you want.

without a final spin

Press the "Spin" button repeatedly until the Without final spin indicator lamp lights up.

Without final spin

The laundry is not spun after the final rinse but the water is drained away and the machine goes straight into the anti-crease stage.

11

Washing and drying environmentally

Ideally load the maximum amount specified for the programme you are using.

This way energy and water consumption will be kept to a minimum.

Use the QUICK WASH programme for small loads.

Use the Short wash option for lightly soiled laundry.

A main wash (programme without pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning normally soiled laundry.

Use the Soak option for heavily soiled laundry. The wash temperature can be reduced for the main wash when using the additonal soak option.

Use the additional option Soak instead of Pre-wash with heavily soiled laundry. If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash the same suds are used.

Do not exceed the amounts of detergent which may be recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

Load recognition can cause the duration of a programme to vary greatly. The main wash may be shortened and a rinse cycle omitted depending on the amount of laundry.

Select a high spin speed for the wash programme, as well as for the Thermospin, if tumble drying the laundry afterwards. This saves time and energy.

12

Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See the relevant section under "Installation".

Flushing out the drum

^Turn on the stopcock.

^Turn both programme selectors to the Finish position.

^Switch the machine on with the I-ON / 0-OFF button.

Do not load any laundry.

^Add max. 1/4 of the amount of detergent recommended for a full load into Compartment j of the detergent dispenser.

^Turn the WASHING programme selector to the "COTTONS 60°C" position.

Important! This programme is required to prepare the machine for operation.

^Press the Water plus button.

^Press the "Spin" button repeatedly until the Without final spin indicator lamp comes on.

^Press the START button.

This will flush out any residues in the machine by the end of the programme.

Water hardness reminder

The amount of detergent required will depend on various factors, including water hardness. The dial in the detergent dispenser can be set as a water hardness reminder.

There is a yellow lever behind the detergent drawer facia panel.

^ Remove the lever.

^Use it to turn the dial to the position which represents your water hardness level.

Your local water authority can advise on water hardness in your area.

How to wash correctly

Separate washing

Make sure that the DRYING programme selector is at theFinish position. Otherwise the drying programme set will follow on from the washing programme.

Before washing

A Sort the laundry

^ Empty all pockets.

,Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

^Stains etc. should be removed as soon as possible whilst still fresh. Spillages should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub!

Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

,Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine.

^Sort the laundry by colour and by care label symbol. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. See the "Programme overview chart" for information on which programmes to use for different fabric types.

Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load.

Curtains: Remove lead weights and strips or place in a laundry bag.

Bras: Ensure any underwiring is securely sewn in. If not, remove it.

Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer.

Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.

Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on the care label (h symbol).

19

How to wash correctly

B Switch the machine on

^ Press in the I-ON/0-OFF button.

C Open the drum door

^Press the Door button and open the drum door.

D Load the drum

^Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. To achieve best results make up mixed loads consisting of both large and small items.

Do not exceed the maximum load for the programme selected. This uses the energy and water to the best advantage. Exceeding the maximum load will result in poorer wash results and an increased level of creasing.

E Close the drum door

Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal.

F Open the stopcock

Select a programme

G Select the wash programme.

^Turn the programme selector to the required programme.

H Select a spin speed.

^Press the "Spin" button repeatedly until the indicator lamp for the spin speed you want comes on.

In some programmes, the maximum spin speed is limited. The machine will not allow a higher spin speed to be selected.

20

Selecting additional options for the wash programme

I Select additional option(s)

^Press the required addtional option button(s).

Additional options which are not compatible with the basic programme cannot be selected. The indicator lamp will go out when the option button is released.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items with dried-on stains, or ones which can be bleached out, (e.g. blood, fats and oils, cocoa).

Duration of soak: 2 hours.

Detergent dispensing when selecting the soak option:

The amount to dispense will depend on which programme is to follow on from the soak process.

For programmes without a pre-wash:

Add the total amount to compartment j or directly into the drum on top of the laundry.

For programmes with a pre-wash:

Add 1/4 of the detergent for the soak and pre-wash into compartment i, and 3/4 into compartment j for the main wash.

Pre-wash

For heavily soiled and stained items.

Water plus

The water level increases in all sections of the COTTONS / MINIMUM IRON and QUICK WASH 40°C programmes.

for particularly delicate fabrics.

if more water is required for dispensing the detergent.

where a higher quality rinse is required.

Short

For lightly soiled items.

This shortens the programme running time. In the COTTONS and MINIMUM IRON programmes only two rinses are carried out with a higher water level.

21

How to wash correctly

J Adding detergent

It is important to dispense the correct amount, because... . .

. . . too little detergent results in:

Laundry not being cleaned properly and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch.

Greasy particles clinging to the laundry.

Limescale deposits on the heater elements.

. . . too much detergent results in:

Excessive foam, which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.

Higher water consumption because an extra rinse is automatically activated.

A burden to the environment.

Add detergent for the pre-wash to compartment i and to compartment j for the main wash. If the capacity of compartment j is not sufficient (e.g. in water hardness area III), some of the main wash detergent can be added to compartment i.

^Pull out the detergent drawer and place detergent in the compartments as follows:

i = Pre-wash

(if selected, 1/4 of the total amount recommended for the programme)

j = Main wash

including the Soak period if selected

p= Fabric conditioner or liquid starch.

See "Detergent" section for further information.

22

How to wash correctly

Delay start

K Select Delay start

^Press the Delay start button repeatedly until the required delay start period shows up in the display (from i to 9 hours).

Press the "START" button. The chosen time will start to count down hour by hour. The programme will then start automatically.

To cancel "Delay start":

^Press the Delay start button once when 9 is showing in the display, or

^Switch the machine off with the I-ON / 0-OFF button.

Memory function

If an additional option(s) is selected for a programme, and / or the spin speed is altered, the machine stores these changes in memory at the start of a programme.

When that particular programme is chosen again, the display will show the additional option(s) and / or spin speed which have been stored for that programme in the memory.

Exception: Delay start

L Start the programme

The START indicator lamp will flash as soon as a programme can be started.

^Press the START button.

After the programme has started the START indicator lamp will light up constantly.

At the end of a programme

A buzzer will sound (see "Programmable functions") and the anti-crease / Finish light will come on.

After washing a full load

If you have washed a full load of laundry and you wish to dry the laundry in the dryer afterwards you will have to remove half the load. Carry out the drying procedure in two batches.

For further information on drying see section "After each washing or drying programme".
