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.

Warning and Safety instructions
~ It is essential to read the operating 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 is not designed for commercial use. It is 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.

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.

Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. Also check that the drain filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leakage during use. See "Installation and connection".
This washer-dryer has undergone a complete functional test at the factory and there will be some residual water in the drum from this process.
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 and without detergent.
^Open the stopcock.
^Press the button.
If the machine is being switched on for the first time, the Miele Willkommen welcome screen will appear.
The welcome screen will not appear again once a programme lasting longer than 1 hour has been completed.
After a few seconds the display will change to show the screen for selecting your language.

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).
When drying straight after washing
Select a high spin speed for the wash programme, as well as for the Thermospin to save time and energy.

Short instructions
The headings numbered , , , . . .
show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions.
Separate washing
Sort the laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to textiles and to 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. You can also use the "Stains" extra option. 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.
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.

Load
< 25%
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 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.
Make sure that no items are caught between the drum door and seal.
^ Shut the door with a gentle swing.

You also need 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 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 (1/3 of the total amount recommended).
j= Detergent for the main wash including Soak, if selected
§= Fabric conditioner or liquid starch
^ Close the detergent drawer.
See "Detergent" for further information.
