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 machine
Electrical and electronic 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 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.

~
intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to
~
wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as being washable on the care label.
dry items which have been washed in a water solution and which are marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. If using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the packaging.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
The washer-dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
~
The washer-dryer can only be used by people with reduced
~
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
~
washer-dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the washer-dryer without
~
supervision if they have been shown how to do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the
~
washer-dryer unsupervised.
The washer-dryer is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not
~
allow children to play on or near it or to play with the controls.
7
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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed 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 washer-dryer to the mains electricity supply
~
by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
~
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
The washer-dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
~
the event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair work.
The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage
~
provided the following conditions have been met:
the washer-dryer is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
if a fault has been identified, the washer-dryer 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 electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
The washer-dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
~
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the washer-dryer, 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 washer-dryer 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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Before using the washer-dryer for the first time, check that the
~
transit bars at the rear of the machine have been removed (see "Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars"). During spinning, a transit fitting which is still in place may result in damage to both the washer-dryer and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the washer-dryer 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 that 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 washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer
~
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 special descaling agent is available to order from Miele. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging carefully.
10
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 deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might self-ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the washer-dryer at the end of the programme.
items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– 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 tumble dried:
~
items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents).
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.
damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of igniting in the washer-dryer.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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. As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the drum.
Warning: Do not switch the washer-dryer off before the drying
~
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or spread out to cool it down.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
~
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
~
use in a domestic washer-dryer. 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 washer-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 washer-dryer 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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
~
benzine, in this washer-dryer, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
Caution, 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. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Washing and drying environmentally and economically
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 amount for the programme you are using.
Use the Automatic plus and Express
20 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 time left shown in the display 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 soiling 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 extra option for very heavily soiled laundry.
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust, sand).
.

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.
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
– Wash light and dark coloured items
separately.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label.
^
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!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. You can also use the "Stains" extra option. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
