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 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

Technical safety

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. 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 items which are specified by

the manufacturer to be washable on the care label.

– to dry textiles which have been

washed in a water solution, marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. "Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up garments in a tumble dryer are increasingly available on the market. If using, do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the packaging.

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

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 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).

Warning and Safety instructions

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 liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

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.

This machine must only be

connected to the on-site water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be re-used. Check the hose regularly for signs of wear and tear. Change in good time to avoid the risk of leaks and subsequent damage.

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 may only be used

in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

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.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

Before using the machine for the

first time, check that the transit fittings 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.

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. If in doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.

Textiles which have been

pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine.

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

To prevent the risk of fire the following textiles must not be dried

in this machine:

fabrics which contain a large

–

proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials.

items which contain padding or

–

fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). items which have been treated with

–

inflammable cleaning agents. items which have been splashed with

–

hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.

– items which have been soiled with

oils or residues containing grease (kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.).

– items soiled with wax or other

chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).

– items which have not been

thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease or oil, e.g. workwear. Such clothing may require a heavy duty detergent to get them clean. If necessary, consult the detergent manufacturer for advice.

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.

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.

Safety with children

This machine 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 its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the machine.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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.

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!

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.

WASHING

Do not use solvent-based

cleaning agents in this machine.

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)

The display shows the amount of laundry loaded in the drum as a % (in 25% steps) of the maximum load permissible for the programme selected.

^ 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 washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.

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

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

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.

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.
