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
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
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 appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
The Miele "Waterproof system"
protects from water damage
provided the following conditions have
been met:
the machine is correctly plumbed in
–
and connected to the electricity
supply.
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 is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
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.
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.
Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit
fitting at the rear of the machine has
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
For machines with a 'porthole'
door, remember that the porthole
glass will be hot when washing at very
high temperatures.
Do not let children touch it during a hot
wash programme.
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.
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.
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based
cleaning agents must be thoroughly
rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
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.
There is a danger of fire during
drying with fabrics which:
contain rubber, foam rubber or
–
rubber like materials
have been treated with inflammable
–
cleaning agents
have been splashed with hair
–
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances
which contain padding or fillings
–
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were
damaged, the filling could get out
with the risk of igniting in the 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
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.
Using 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.
Disposal of your old machine
Disconnect and remove the mains plug
from the socket. Render the plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Adding detergent
Detergent
All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable, including liquid, compact
(concentrated), tablets and special
application detergents.
Woollens and knitwear containing wool
mixtures and hand-washable garments
should be washed using a detergent
specifically designed for washing
woollens.
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts for a full load are given on the
detergent packaging.
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
– The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
–
The quantity of laundry
–
The water hardness level in the area
If you do not know the hardness level
contact your local water authority
who will be able to advise you.

Fabric conditioners / starch formulations
Fabric conditioners, texturisers
and starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
and fluffy to handle and help prevent
static cling when tumble drying.
Texturisers are synthetic starch
formulations, which stiffen items of
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.
^ Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
Automatic dispensing of fabric
conditioners, texturisers or liquid
starch to laundry at the end of a
programme
The conditioner or liquid starch is
automatically dispensed in the last
rinse. At the end of the programme a
small amount of water remains in
compartment p.
If starching frequently, clean the
dispenser compartment and
especially the siphon tube and
conditioner channel. See "Cleaning

Before drying
A Preparing the laundry
^ Sort the laundry according to type of
fibre / weave and the residual
moisture content. This will help
towards achieving an even drying
result.
Make sure you have removed any
detergent dispensing aids, e.g.
plastic dispenser balls, before
drying. These dispensers can melt
during the drying programme and
cause damage to the machine and
the laundry.
Do not overload the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note the following:
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 the use of 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 pipes and
cables beforehand!
The most stable part of the floor is
usually in the corner.
Installation
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site. Please note
the following:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
^
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and
,
the floor area are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about.

Removing the transit fitting
A Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°.
C Withdraw the two bars together with
the support plate.
B Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°.
58
D Plug the holes with the plastic caps
supplied.
The machine must not be moved
without the transit fitting in place.
Store the transit fitting in a safe
place for future use. It must be
re-fitted if the machine is to be
moved again (e.g. when moving
house).
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
Page 59
Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Installation and connection
Loosen counternut 2 with a
^
screwdriver by turning it
anti-clockwise, then unscrew foot 1
together with the counternut.
^ Put the machine back on all four feet.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
The four adjustable feet are used to
level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
^
Gently tip the machine and prop it up
using a solid wooden wedge for
example, to ensure stability.
,
Make sure the machine does not
slip as this could cause injury.
^ Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
^ Hold the foot 1 firm using a pipe
wrench and using a screwdriver turn
the counternut 2 to the right firmly up
against the housing.
,
All four counternuts must be
firmly up against the housing. Please
also check this for the feet which did
not need adjustment. Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about.

The Miele Waterproof system
The Miele Waterproof system protects
the washing machine from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the washing
machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose is fitted with an
additional electrical safety valve
which works like an automatic
stopcock and is housed in the inlet
hose connection box.
– It is pressure proof to between 70
and 100 bar.
– The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
2) Electronic unit and washing
machine housing
Sump
–
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the appliance. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water from
flowing into the machine and water in
the suds container is pumped away.
Overflow protection
–
This prevents the washing machine
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
washing machine from being
emptied completely.
Any leaking water from the inlet hose
is fed into the sump through this
protective sleeve. A float switches off
the safety valve, preventing any more
water from flowing into the machine
and water in the suds container is
pumped away.
61
Page 62
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
Installation
For the Miele Waterproof system to
function correctly, it may only be fitted
in the positions shown in the
illustrations above.
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 1 and
10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is
essential to fit a reducer valve.
62
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.
The appliance is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply
and connection to a household
water softener is not recommended.
Page 63
Installation and connection
The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The
Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be
connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there
is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must not be damaged or kinked.
Do not get wet.
63
Page 64
Installation and connection
Maintenance and care
If you intend to unscrew the Miele
Waterproof system hose from the
stopcock it is essential to disconnect
the machine from the electricity supply
first.
Only use a Miele Waterproof system
hose should you need a replacement.
In order to protect the water inlet
valves, the dirt filter in the water inlet
safety valve connection must not be
removed.
Extension hose
A 4.5 m Miele Waterproof system
extension hose is available from your
Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts
Department as an optional extra.
64
Page 65
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 is 1.5 m long. It 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.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink.
Please note the following
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 sucked 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 metres. The
accessories required can be
purchased from the Miele Spare Parts
Dept.
For draining the water away with a
delivery head over 1 metre (and up to a
max. of 1.8 metres) a 2nd "Duo-drain
pump" is available together with the
corresponding kit from your Miele
Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
