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
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 dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
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 (voltage and connected load) 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 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 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).
6
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.
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 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.
7
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 Service 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.

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!
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. 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)

You can only select extra options which are compatible with the basic programme being used.
^ Select Delay start, if required.
B
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.

You also need to take the level of soiling and water hardness into account.
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:
–Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.
–High water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in).
–A burden to the environment.
^Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments as follows:
i= Detergent for the pre-wash (1/4 of the total amount recommended). This compartment is also used for starch formulations when starching separately.
j= Detergent for the main wash including Soak
§= Fabric conditioner or liquid starch
^ Close the detergent drawer.
See "Detergent" for further information.

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:

^Turn the programme selector to the Stop position. Press the Door button to open the drum door.
^ 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 washing a full load
If you have washed a full load of laundry and you wish to dry the laundry in the washer-dryer afterwards you will have to remove half the load. Carry out the drying procedure in two batches.

WASHING
Adding or removing laundry after a programme has started
Laundry can be added or removed after the programme has started when using the following programmes:
–Cottons
–Minimum iron
–Automatic
–Express
–Starch
^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.
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.
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.

You can reduce the final spin speed. 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)
^Select the Rinse hold setting. 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 the Start/Stop button.
–To end the programme:
Press the Door button. The water will drain away. Press the Door button again to open the door.
To omit rinse and interim spin and the final spin
^Select the Without spin setting. 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 with the Cottons, Minimum iron, Express and Automatic programmes.
