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
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.
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
~
and "Technical data".
The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
~
disconnect the washer-dryer from the electricity supply.
8
Page 9
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.

Page 10
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
Page 11
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
Page 12
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
Page 13
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.
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 5.5 kg for
~
washing and 3.0 for drying. See the "Programme chart" for the
maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.
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.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an
~
optional accessory), please make sure you order the right one for
this washer-dryer.
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).
.
–
To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer, carry out a hot wash
(60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene Info message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out
a hot wash.

This machine has fully electronic
controls with automatic load
recognition. It takes in the right amount
of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate. This means
that programme cycles and durations
can vary.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Extra
options which can be selected have not
been taken into account.
The display shows the stage the
programme has reached.
Special features in the programme
sequences:
Anti-crease:
At the end of the programme, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
Exception
: There is no anti-crease
phase in the Woollens programme.
The door can be opened and laundry
removed at any time during the
anti-crease phase.

if:
– there is too much foam in the drum
– a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has
been selected
–
No u has been selected.

Only use proofing agents which are stated by the manufacturer as being
suitable for use on membrane textiles. Do not use proofing agents which contain
paraffin. Add proofing agents to the fabric conditioner compartment §.
3)
Use powder detergent
Specialist detergent: This detergent is designed specifically for the wash
programme or type of fabric, (see the Miele CareCollection detergents and
conditioning products in "Optional accessories").
33
Page 34
WASHING
All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable. Use dispensing aids, e.g.
balls, if these are supplied with the
detergent. Tablets are suitable for full
loads, but note that it may be
impractical to reduce tablets for smaller
loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as
rapidly as others, and may not be
suitable for programmes with short
durations. Do not use biological
detergents on silk, as the enzymes may
damage the silk. Instructions for use
and recommended dosage amounts
are given on the detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash.
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment j of the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartment i for the pre-wash.
See "Optional accessories" at the end
of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products, including
detergents and fabric conditioner.
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
–
The soiling level of the laundry
Heavily soiled
Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on
soiling.
The quantity of the laundry (add the
–
recommended amount of detergent).
The water hardness level.
–
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
Use the same quantity of detergent as
for soft water.
Washing with several components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
34
Page 35
Fabric conditioner and liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
to handle and help prevent static cling
when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.
Automatic dispensing of fabric
conditioner or liquid starch to
laundry at the end of a programme
WASHING
Do not use powder starch
formulations or viscous liquid starch
in the § compartment as it will clog
up. See below.
Adding fabric conditioner or liquid
starch separately
Dispense in accordance with
^
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
Dispense liquids into the §
^
compartment and powder or viscous
formulations into the i
compartment.
^ Turn the programme selector to
Further programmes/Settings and
select the Starch programme.
^ Select a spin speed or the Rinse hold
extra option.
^
Add the fabric conditioner or liquid
starch to compartment §. Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be dispensed automatically in the
last rinse. At the end of the programme
a small amount of water remains in the
fabric conditioner compartment §.
If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the dispenser compartment,
especially the siphon tube and
fabric conditioner channel, regularly.
See "Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer".
^ Press the Start/Stop button.
Colour run and dye removers/dyes
^
Do not use
removers in this machine.
^
Dyes suitable for use in domestic
washing machines can be used.
However, please note that the salt
used in the dyeing process can
cause corrosion to stainless steel
components in the machine if you
dye frequently. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.

DRYING
Separate drying
The separate drying programme
must be used if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the
maximum load permitted for drying,
or if you only want to dry part of the
load that was washed.
Tips on drying
Do not put soaking wet items into
the machine to dry them; Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
– Woollens and wool blends
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can be partially
dried using the Woollens
programme.
– Down-filled garments
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
–
Pure linen
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise tend to roughen.
–
Loopknit garments

on their quality. Therefore: Do not
over-dry these textiles. When
purchasing these garments it is
advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.

the danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.
A Sort the laundry

DRYING
1)
Smoothing+: Garments are
dampened before the programme
starts to help reduce creasing. Textiles
are not completely dried in this
programme to make them easier to
iron. The drying temperature is
determined by the programme being
used.
2)
Timed drying: Timed dring is
particularly suitable for small loads and
for drying individual items. Garments
are dried in warm air (times of between
15 minutes and 2 hours can be
selected). The drying temperature is
determined by the programme being
used. Do not select the longest drying
time to start with. Check the items as
you are drying them to find the optimum
time.

Washing and drying in a
continuous sequence
Where the amount of laundry to be
washed and dried in one programme
does not exceed the maximum
weight permitted for the drying
programme, washing and drying in
one continuous sequence is
recommended.

An unsatisfactory wash result
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents. They
do not remove fruit,
coffee and tea stains.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to
break down the particles
of grease in heavily
soiled laundry.
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening
which are not soluble in
water. They have ended
up on the laundry.
Use a general purpose
–
detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into
–
compartment j and liquid
detergent into a dispenser
ball (remember to remove
the dispensing ball before
drying!).
Never put stain removers
–
and liquid detergent together
in the dispenser drawer.
– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load
run a Cottons 95°C
programme with powder
detergent but without a load.
– Try and brush off the
residues with a soft brush

Installation and connection
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface, being far less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle
than wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note the following points:
The machine must be level and
^
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
^
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^ We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59x52x3 cm). The base should
span several joists and be bolted to
the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spinning
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).
Otherwise there is the danger of the
machine moving about.
Installing the washer-dryer
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the door.
^
Ensure that the machine feet and
,
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit fittings
^ To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.
68
Page 69
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied turn the

then
^
withdraw the transit bar.
69
Page 70
Installation and connection
To avoid the risk of injury the
,
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
,
The machine must not be moved
without the transit bars in place.
Store them in a safe place for future
use. They must be re-fitted if the
machine is to be moved again (e.g.
when moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
The four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
^ Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.
^

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the machine
housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of more than 14,000 kPa.
– It has a protective sleeve which is
made from metal to protect the hose
from damage.
2) Electronic unit and machine
housing
Overflow protection
–
This prevents the maching taking in
too much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches in and pumps the
excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
machine from being emptied
completely.
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the machine. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.
76
Page 77
Connection to the water
supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
The German authorities do not require it
to have a non-return valve as the
washer-dryer has been designed to
comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
reducer valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
3
with
/4" thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
,
The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
Installation and connection
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from your Miele dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra.
This hose is tested to withstand
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
This machine is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose which is
pressure tested to 14,000 kPa should
you ever need a replacement or
extension.
77
Page 78
Installation and connection
Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise there is a risk of water
overflowing or of some of the drained
water being siphoned back into the
machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic
drain pipe with a rubber nipple.
There is no need to use a non-return
valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.
