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
Electrical and electronic appliances
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 it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. 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.

Warning and safety instructions
the market. If using, do so at your
own risk, and follow the instructions
provided on the packaging.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable
It is essential to read these
~
instructions.
This washer-dryer conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead
to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the washer-dryer, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
This washer-dryer must only be
~
used:
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This washer-dryer is not intended for
~
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are supervised
whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it correctly by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
Keep children away from the washer
~
dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow children to
play on or near it or to play with its
controls. Supervise children whilst you
are using it.

6
Warning and safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the washer-dryer,
~
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
Before connecting the washer-dryer,
~
ensure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
~
washer-dryer 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. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the machine to the
~
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the washer-dryer
(e.g. danger of overheating).
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the washer-dryer 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 disconnected, or
–
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
The Miele “Water protection 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
~
replaced by genuine 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.
Unauthorised repairs could result in
~
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which the Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
7
Warning and safety instructions
This washer-dryer may only be used
~
in mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
In countries where there are 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 guarantee.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
washer-dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
Correct use
Do not install your washer-dryer in
~
rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may
burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below freezing point.
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.
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. A Miele
descaling agent is available to order
(see "Cleaning and care").
Before using the washer-dryer for
~
the first time, check that the transit bars
at the rear of the machine have 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.
8
Warning and safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following must not be dried in this
washer-dryer:
items which have not been washed.
–
items, such as workwear, which have
–
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
washer-dryer at the end of the
programme.
– items which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
– items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled
items, ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following must not be dried in this
washer-dryer:
fabrics which contain a large
–
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example,
products made from latex foam
rubber, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubberised articles and items
of clothing and pillows with foam
rubber filling.
items 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
washer-dryer.
In many programmes, the heating
~
phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down
phase has been completed.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the
~
washer-dryer off before the end of a
drying programme. If this was done and
the laundry was then removed immedi
ately it could give off a great amount of
heat.
-
Fabric conditioner and similar
~
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.
9
Warning and safety instructions
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.
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.
Textiles which have been pre-treated
~
in solvent based cleaning agents must
be thoroughly rinsed in clean water
before being washed in the
washer-dryer.
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.
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.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
Never use solvent based cleaning
~
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
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.

Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
The washer-dryer has a sensor which
measures the amount of laundry in the
drum. This determines the amount of
detergent required. To allow the load
size indicator to function correctly, you
must first run a wash programme
without any laundry
detergent.

Washing and drying environmentally
Energy and water consumption
Water consumption and energy
–
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
Use the Automatic and Express
–
programmes for small loads.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
–
washed using the Cottons
programmes, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the
programme duration is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme
instead of the Cottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak extra option.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of
–
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
Reduce the amount of detergent for
–
smaller loads. Use the Load/
Detergent button.
Choosing the correct extra option
(Pre-wash, Soak, Short)
Select:
A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
A wash programme together with the
Soak option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– Use the extra option Soak instead of
Pre-wash. If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash, the same suds
are used.
.
When drying straight afterwards
–
Select a high spin speed for the
wash programme, as well as for the
Thermospin, if tumble drying this
laundry afterwards. This saves time
and energy.

WASHING
Brief instructions
The headings numbered A, B, C,...
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
Separate 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.
^
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. 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!
Sort the laundry by colour and by
^
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Curtains: Remove lead weights first
–
or place in a laundry bag.
Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
–
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– 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 and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
trapped 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)
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.

^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is

too little detergent results in:
–
Laundry not getting properly clean
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:
High water consumption (an
–
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
A burden to the environment.

WASHING
F Start the programme
Press the flashing Start/Stop button.
^
The estimated programme duration will
count down in the display in one minute
steps. During the first 10 minutes the
machine measures how much water is
being absorbed by the laundry. The
programme duration may be longer or
shorter depending on this absorbency
rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The washer-dryer
shows you when each section of the
programme is reached.
The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
G Remove the laundry when the
programme has finished
In the anti-crease phase after the
programme has finished, the following
will appear alternately in the display:
Anti-crease
and
Remove the laundry.
^
Only remove laundry from the
machine once the drum has stopped
turning. Reaching into a moving
drum is extremely dangerous and
could result in injury.
Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.
Important! Always remove the
laundry before switching the machine
off. This is important to ensure that
the load size indicator works
correctly.
^ Switch the machine off with the I-On/
0-Off button.
See "After each washing or drying
programme" for further information.

after the programme has started when
using the following programmes:
Cottons
–
Minimum iron
–
Automatic
–
Express
–

–
Press the Door button to open the
^
drum door.
Warning: The water in the
,
machine will be very hot and
could cause burning or scalding.
^ Add or remove items.
^ Close the drum door.
The programme will continue
automatically.
The door cannot be opened, if:
the suds temperature is above a
–
certain temperature (see "Settings
menu - Door release").
the water is above a certain level
–
(e.g. when the Water plus extra
option has been selected).
the programme has reached the
–
Final spin stage.
the electronic programme locking
–
has been activated.
Please note:
Once a programme has started the
machine cannot recognise any
adjustment to the load.
For this reason, if laundry is added or
removed after the start of a programme,
the machine will always complete the
programme cycle assuming a full load
which can lead to an increase in the
programme duration shown in the
display.

However, you cannot select a final spin
speed higher than that shown in the
chart above.
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 a
Cottons programme, an additional rinse
is introduced.
To omit the final spin (Rinse hold)
While the spin speed is highlighted in
^
the display, press the minus (-) button
repeatedly to call up the Rinse hold
setting and then press OK to confirm
your selection.
The laundry will not be spun and will
remain 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 start the final spin
–
:
The machine will display the
maximum spin speed possible. You
can select a spin speed lower than
this. Start the final spin by pressing

your selection.
The laundry is not spun after the final
rinse. The water will drain away and
the machine will go straight into the
anti-crease stage. An additional rinse
is introduced if this setting is selected
