Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

5

7

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this washer-dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.

It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring system tested by a qualified electrician.

Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat and are a fire hazard.

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 authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.

Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and the “Technical data”.

The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so that the washer-dryer can be disconnected from the electricity supply if necessary.

The washer-dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a fault.

The Miele “Water protection system” protects from water damage provided the following conditions are met:

-The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the electricity supply.

-If a fault or damage has been identified, the washer-dryer must be examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired if necessary.

8

Reliable and safe operation of this washer-dryer can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the washer-dryer is not repaired by a service technician authorised by Miele.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Do not install the washer-dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. 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 bars at the rear of the washer-dryer have been removed (see “Installation - Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, a transit bar 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 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.

Do not leave any detergent dispensing aids, e.g. plastic dispenser balls, in the laundry when tumble drying. These dispensers can melt during the drying programme and cause damage to the washerdryer and the laundry.

Risk of burning or scalding due to hot temperatures. The metal cap located on the inside of the door glass will be hot after drying. Open the door wide after drying. Do not touch the metal cap.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washer-dryer should not need to be descaled. If, however, there is large build-up of limescale and you need to descale it, you must use a special noncorrosive descaling agent. A suitable descaling agent is available to order from Miele (see “Optional accessories”). Instructions on the packaging must be strictly observed.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried: - Items which have not been washed.

-Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly washed and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such as cooking oil, cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly washed there is a danger that these might 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, benzene, 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 heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

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

tumble dried:

-Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents).

-Items 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 it igniting.

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. These must only be used in domestic quantities. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause corrosion. Do not use these products in this washer-dryer.

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-ig- niting). 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 removed immediately and hung up or spread out to cool it down.

This washer-dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket, e.g. a timer or electrical device with peak-load negotiation. There is a risk of the laundry igniting itself if a drying programme is cancelled before the cooling phase has finished.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

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

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.

If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for reference. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their skin coming into contact with detergent.

The maximum load for this washer-dryer is 8.0 kg (dry weight) for washing and 5.0 kg (dry weight) for tumble drying. See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

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.

Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your washer-dryer.

If you order a plinth for this washer-dryer (available from Miele as an optional accessory), make sure it is the correct one.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance

with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Before using for the first time

Miele@home

Your washer-dryer is equipped with an integrated WiFi module.

To use this feature, you will need:

-A WiFi network

-The Miele app

-A Miele user account. The user account can be created via the Miele app

The Miele app will guide you as you connect your washer-dryer to your home WiFi network.

Once your washer-dryer is connected to your WiFi network, you can use the app to carry out the following activities, for example:

-Controlling your washer-dryer remotely

-Calling up information on the operating status of your washer-dryer

-Calling up information on the programme sequence of your washerdryer

Connecting your washer-dryer to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the washer-dryer is switched off.

Make sure there is sufficient signal strength for your WiFi network at the washer-dryer installation site.

Availability of the WiFi connection

The WiFi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This can give rise to sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, the availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not available in every country.

19

Environmentally friendly washing and drying

Energy and water consumption

-Use the maximum load size for the current wash programme. The energy and water consumption will then be the lowest in relation to the size of the load.

-Programmes that are more efficient with regard to energy and water consumption generally have a longer programme running time. By extending the programme running time, the wash temperature that is actually reached can be reduced while still providing the same wash results.

For example, the ECO 40-60 programme has a longer programme running time than the Cottons 40 °C or 60 °C programme. The ECO 40-60 programme is more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption.

-Use the Express programme for small, lightly soiled loads.

-Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20 °C). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.

-To maintain the hygiene of the washer-dryer, carry out a hot wash (above 60 °C) at regular intervals. The

indicator light lights up in the control field and appears on the time display of the washer-dryer to remind you.

Detergent

-Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

-Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.

-Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

When drying with a tumble

dryer

To save energy when tumble drying, select the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme and for the thermo-spin.

20

WASHING

1. Prepare the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Damage due to foreign objects.

Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to textiles and components in the machine. Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.

Sort the laundry

Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and colours separately.

Pre-treating stains

Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably whilst still fresh. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents.

Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc. can damage plastic parts.

When pre-treating textiles, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with the cleaning agent.

Risk of explosion due to solventbased cleaning agents.

If solvent-based cleaning agents are used, an explosive mixture can form. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washer-dryer.

General tips

-Curtains: remove rollers and lead weights or place in a laundry bag.

-Sew in or remove any loose underwiring in bras.

-Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes, etc. before washing.

-Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from becoming rolled up inside them.

Do not wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

WASHING

2. Loading the washer-dryer

Open the door

Reach under the recessed grip and pull the door open.

Check the drum for pets or foreign objects before loading it with laundry.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps to distribute the load evenly during spinning.

The most efficient use of energy and water consumption is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creasing.

Tip: Please note the maximum load size for different wash programmes.

Close the door

Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the sealing ring.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

Adjust the detergent dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry and the load size. Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller load sizes (e.g. reduce the amount of detergent by ¹⁄ when washing a half load).

Too little detergent:

-Results in laundry not being cleaned properly and may cause it to become grey and hard to the touch over time

-Can lead to a build-up of mould in the washer-dryer

-Results in grease not being completely removed from the laundry

-Can lead to limescale deposits on the heater elements

Too much detergent:

-Causes poor wash, rinse and spin results

-Causes higher water consumption as an extra rinse cycle is automatically activated

-Is a greater burden on the environment

See “Washing” – “Detergent” for further information about detergents and how much to dispense.

Using detergent tablets or pods

Always put detergent tablets or pods directly in the drum with the laundry. They cannot be added via the detergent drawer.

CapDosing

CapDosing can only be activated via the Miele app.

3 different types of capsule are available:

= Fabric care (e.g. fabric conditioner, proofing agent)

= Additives (e.g. detergent enhancer)

= Detergent (for the main wash only)

Each capsule contains the correct amount for one wash cycle.

Capsules are available from www.shop.miele.com, the Miele Customer Service Department or your Miele dealer.

Capsules pose a health risk. The ingredients of capsules can be hazardous to health if they are swallowed or come into contact with skin.

Keep capsules out of the reach of children.

Inserting a capsule

Open the detergent drawer.

Open the lid of the / compartment.

Press the capsule in firmly.

27

WASHING

Remove the empty capsule at the end of the programme.

For technical reasons, a small amount

of water will remain in the capsule.

Close the lid and press it firmly shut.

Close the detergent drawer.

The capsule is opened by the act of inserting it into the detergent drawer. The contents can run out of the capsule if you then remove it from the detergent drawer before it is used. Dispose of the capsule and do not re-use it.

The wash programme will dispense the contents of the capsule at the correct time.

When using CapDosing, water intake to the compartment takes place solely via the capsule.

When using capsules, do not add fabric conditioner to the compartment.
