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 should be recycled.
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 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 general 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.
Energy saving tips
Energy and water consumption
–Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load.
To make the most out of your appliance, load the maximum amount for the washing or drying programme you are using.
Detergent
–Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.
–Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller loads.
To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy:
–Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
–Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated.
–Remove the fluff from the filter when necessary (see "Cleaning and Care").
–Check all parts of the ventilation system on a regular basis, and remove any build-up of fluff etc.
The vent ducting should be as short, straight and smooth as possible to minimise any resistance to the air throughflow.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the appliance stack, check it for any externally visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance stack can only be guaranteed when it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site 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).
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. If this is not done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the guarantee.
Do not make any alterations to the appliance stack, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
To ensure the correct performance of the appliances and to prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
This washer-dryer and tumble dryer stack must only be connected to the on-site water supply using a hose that is in good condition. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–the connection plugs on the washer-extractor and on the tumble dryer have been withdrawn, or
–the on-site fuse has been disabled for both the washer-extractor and tumble dryer, or
–the screw-out fuse has been disabled for both the washer-extractor and the tumble dryer (in countries where this is applicable).
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the appliance be guaranteed.
Do not use force to open the washer-extractor drum door. The door handle is fitted with a safety device to ensure that the door lock functions correctly.
This washer-extractor and tumble dryer stack must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance stack 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.
If this appliance stack is being used in a commercial environment please ensure that all relevant health and safety regulations are obeyed.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Do not install the appliance stack in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +50°C.
Always keep the area around the appliance stack free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the appliances can cause blockages over time. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
Before using the washer-extractor and tumble dryer stack for the first time, check that the transit bars at the rear of the washer-extractor have been removed (see section on "Installation and connection"). During spinning, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to both the appliance stack and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the appliance 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 washer-extractor with the laundry. It is particularly important to ensure that items are free of any metal filings which may be hidden in them. These may damage components of the washer-extractor (e.g. suds container, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washer-extractor should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale it, only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging carefully.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the washer-extractor.
Never use solvent based cleaning agents (e.g. those containing benzine) in the washer-extractor, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near the appliance stack. Fire and explosion risk.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a 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 the washer-extractor.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the appliance.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the appliance stack.
It is particularly important to observe manufacturer's instructions when using a combination of cleaning agents and special application products. Only use the product for the application described by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the occurrence of strong chemical reactions.
The tumble dryer must only be used when it is connected to a suitable ducting system. The installation site must be adequately ventilated.
The ducting must not be connected to
–a chimney or vent flue which is in use,
–or to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces,
–or to chimneys being used by other appliances. Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause poisoning.
The fluff filter must be cleaned regularly.
The dryer must not be used without the fluff filter in place or if the fluff filter is damaged in any way. Damaged filters can cause operational faults and blockages in the airways, the heating elements and in the ducting. Fire hazard!
In the event of a damaged filter, switch the dryer off and replace the filter with a new one.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Check all parts of the extraction system on a regular basis (e.g. wall vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure they are all free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a free flow of air through the system. If the dryer is to be connected to an existing ducting system, this must be checked for suitability beforehand.
Adequate ventilation is essential to avoid the danger of asphyxia and toxic fumes where another appliance which also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. To ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by:
–air inlets in the external wall which cannot be closed or blocked, or
–by fitting a window contact switch which ensures that the appliance can only be operated when the window is open.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder must be sought.
If more than one tumble dryer is being installed using a joint ducting system, each dryer must have its own non-return flap to the joint ducting system.
Otherwise the dryers could be damaged, endangering their electrical safety.
Do not allow air contaminated with chlorine, fluorine or other vapours containing solvents to get into the tumble dryer. Fire hazard.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble 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 ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the 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 tumble dried in this tumble dryer:
–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 dryer.
13
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.
Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the drying programme. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately 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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
Chlorine and component damage
Notes on using chlorine bleach and perchlorethylene
Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of component damage.
The use of agents containing chlorine, such as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine bleach in powder form, can damage the protective upper surface of stainless steel and cause corrosion to components. Factors affecting this are chlorine concentration levels, contact time and temperature. It is therefore advisable to avoid the use of such agents. Oxygen based bleaching agents should be used instead.
If, however, chlorine based bleaching agents have to be used for particular types of soiling, then anti-chlorine measures must also be carried out. If this is not done irreparable damage can occur to components in the machine and to laundry.
Anti-chlorine treatment
Anti-chlorine treatment has to be carried out immediately after chlorine bleach has been used. The use of hydrogen peroxide or an oxygen based cleaning or bleaching agent is recommended and the laundry should not be drained in between.
With thiosulphate, especially when used with hard water, gypsum can form, which can lead to incrustations on laundry or deposits in the machine. The use of hydrogen peroxide is preferable as it aids the chlorine neutralising process.
The exact quantity of additives and the treatment temperatures required must be set and tested on site in accordance with the dosage recommendations of the detergent and additive manufacturers. The laundry must also be tested to check whether it contains any active chlorine residues.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Disposing of your old appliance
Before disposing of an old washer-dryer and tumble dryer stack, disable the washer-extractor door lock. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Notes and tips on laundry care
1. Sort the laundry for washing
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to textiles and to components in the washer-extractor.
Removing marks
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. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washer-extractor.
Sorting laundry
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, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
–See "Programme chart" in separate booklet supplied for further tips.
Do not wash any items in the washer-extractor which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

Notes and tips on laundry care
2. Load the washer-extractor drum
Switch the washer-extractor on with the On/Off button .
To open the drum door pull on the handle.
Do not use force as it is fitted with a safety device to prevent it being opened by mistake. Forcing the door handle can cause damage to the locking mechanism (see "Problem solving guide, The door will not open").
Unfold the laundry and load loosely into 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 washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
Close the drum door. Press the door firmly to shut it and then lock the handle in position. Do not slam the drum door.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the drum.
3. Select a programme
Select the most appropriate programme for the load being washed.
See "Programme chart" in the separate booklet supplied for details of which programmes are available.

1. Sort the laundry for drying
Before drying
–Wash heavily soiled items very thoroughly, ensuring that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
–Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
–New dark-coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light-coloured garments the first few times, to avoid the risk of colours running and discolouring other garments or even the plastic components in the dryer. Dark-coloured fibres can also settle on light-coloured garments and vice versa.
–Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
–Check the seams of padded or down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out. These could catch fire in the tumble dryer.
–Tie together textile belts and apron ties to stop them getting tangled.
–Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being trapped inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes.
–Stitch in or remove loose underwiring from bras.
–Leave jackets open and undo any long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
–For an even drying result, it is important to . . .
. . . spin,
. . . shake out,
. . . and sort items according to fabric type, size, care label and the drying level required.

2. Load the tumble dryer
Using the tumble dryer incorrectly could cause a fire. Read the "Warning and Safety instructions" before using the dryer.
Make sure that objects, e.g. detergent dispensing balls, have been removed from the laundry. They could melt and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.
–Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.
–To save energy, always observe the maximum load for each programme (see the separate booklet "Commissioning, Programme chart and Settings").
–Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease more the greater the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabrics, such as shirts or blouses.
If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabrics.
3. Select a programme
–On many programmes, different drying levels can be selected depending on individual requirements
. . e.g.Normal+ for laundry that you want to fold and put away immediately after drying.
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if the laundry needs to be ironed after drying.
See separate booklet "Commissioning, Programme chart and Settlings".
–For delicate fabrics with the care label, select Low temperature as well.
–Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.
–Pure linen items should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.
–Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. Only dry these fabrics in the Woollens handcare programme.
–Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry .
When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.
