Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial

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 appli­ance

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This washer-dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per­sonal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washer­dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam­age to the washer-dryer.

In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the washer-dryer as well as the safety instruc­tions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.

 This washer-dryer is intended for use in domestic households and

similar working and residential environments.

 This washer-dryer is intended for use in domestic households for

the following applications only:

- washing textiles which have a care label stating that they are
washable.

- drying textiles which have been washed in water and have a care
label stating that they are suitable for tumble drying.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

Any other usage is not permitted. Miele cannot be held liable for
damage resulting from improper use or incorrect operation of the
machine.

 This washer-dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
 This washer-dryer can only be used by people with reduced phys-

ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or know­ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con­sequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the

washer-dryer unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children eight years and older may only use the washer-dryer un-

supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog­nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washer-

dryer unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washer-dryer and

do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

 Before setting up the washing-dryer, check it for any externally

visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged washer-dryer.

 Before connecting the washer-dryer, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electri­cian.

8

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”.

 This washer-dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with

particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resist­ance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only
be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or by Miele Service.

 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:

9

Warning and Safety instructions

- 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.

 The water inlet pressure must be at least 100kPa and must not

exceed 1000kPa.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-

ginal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran­tee the safety standards of the machine.

 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.

 This 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 author-

ised to do so by Miele.

 Reliable and safe operation of this washer-dryer can only be as-

sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

10

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, pa-

per 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.

 Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

12

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-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 pro-

gramme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be removed
immediately and hung up or spread out to cool it down.

 Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning

agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.

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.

 If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thor-

oughly 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 7.0 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.

 Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam

function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high
temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.
Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dis­sipated.

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.

 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.

Environmentally friendly washing and drying

Energy and water consumption

- Water consumption and energy us­age are determined by the size of the
load. To make the most of your ma­chine, load the maximum dry load for
the programme you are using.

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

- When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recogni­tion system will reduce the amount of
water and energy used.

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

- To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer we recommend running
a washing programme with a temper­ature of 60°C or above. Hygiene info
will appear in the display to remind
you to do this.

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.

21

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.

 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 solvent-

based 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).

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.

3. Load the drum

Open the door

 Reach under the door 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.

Close the door

 Make sure that no items are caught

between the door and the seal.

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 reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creases.

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 greater burden to the environment.

WASHING

Cottons and Minimum iron

PowerWash 2.0, the washing technique
developed by Miele, is activated in the
Cottons programme with small and me­dium-sized loads and in the Minimum
iron programme.

How it works

Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.

The PowerWash 2.0 washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and
over again. This reduces the amount of
energy used.

Activation

The washer-dryer calculates the load at
the beginning of the wash programme.
PowerWash 2.0 is activated if the fol­lowing conditions are present:

Special features

- Drenching phase
The washer-dryer will spin a few
times at the beginning of the pro­gramme. During the spin cycle, the
water discharged is sprayed back
into the laundry in order to achieve
optimum moisture penetration.

The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If neces­sary, the machine will pump water
away and take in a little more fresh
water.

- Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.

- Detergent
Dispense the correct amount of de­tergent (with smaller loads).

- there is a small to medium-sized
laundry load in the Cottons pro­gramme and in the Minimum iron
programme.

- the temperature selected does not
exceed 60°C.

- the final spin speed selected is not
lower than 600rpm.

- CapDosing (, ) ) has not been se­lected for the main wash.

With some options (e.g. Pre-wash,
Water plus) PowerWash 2.0 is not ac­tivated.

Options

Options are selected and deselected

Example:
 Press the ProgrammeManager but-

The following will appear in the display:

 Touch the  or  sensor until the op-

tion you want appears in the display.

 Confirm with the OK sensor.

The indicator light in the button will
come on.

Not all options can be selected with all
wash programmes. The “Options ­overview” chart for a list of options.

ProgrammeManager

The ProgrammeManager option can be
used to customise the washing pro­grammes to suit your requirements.

Short

For light soiling without visible stains.
The duration of the main wash is re­duced.

Intensive

For hard-wearing laundry that is very
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is in­creased through more intense mechan­ical action and the application of more
heat energy.

ECO

This option reduces energy consump­tion whilst maintaining cleaning effi­ciency. This is achieved by increasing
the wash duration and at the same time
reducing the wash temperature selec­ted.

Extra gentle

This option decreases mechanical ac­tion in order to reduce creasing.

Extra quiet

This option reduces noise levels during
the programme. Use this if you want to
wash during quiet periods (for instance
when children are sleeping). The ma­chine will activate the “Rinse hold” op­tion and not spin. The programme dura­tion is longer.

42

WASHING

AllergoWash

This option should be used where high
standards of hygiene are required. More
energy is used to lengthen temperature
holding times and more water is used to
increase rinsing efficiency. The items
must be suitable for drying in a tumble
dryer   and suitable for ironing 
.

Steam smoothing

Steam is injected into the drum at the
end of the wash process to reduce
creasing. Reducing the maximum load
by 50 % will give a better result. For
steam smoothing to work properly there
needs to be a certain amount of resid­ual moisture still present in the laundry
and so the final spin speed is adjusted
accordingly.

The garments must be suitable for
tumble drying   and suitable for
ironing  .

Further options

Water plus

The water level in the wash and rinse
stages is increased.

You can select by how much the water
level is increased, see “Settings, Water
plus level”.

Pre-wash

For laundry with large amounts of dirt,
e.g. dust and sand.

Soak

For heavily soiled and stained items
with protein stains.

A duration of between 30minutes and 5
hours in 30minute increments can be
chosen for the soak process. See “Set­tings” for more information.

The factory default setting is
30minutes.

Stains

In order to clean stained laundry more
effectively, you can select a number of
types of stain. The wash programme
will then adapt to the type of stain se­lected. You can select one stain per
wash cycle.

With some stains, helpful information
will also appear in the display when
they are selected.

 Confirm the information with OK.

WASHING

Dispensing fabric conditioner and li­quid starch at the end of the pro­gramme

Fabric conditioner
makes garments soft to handle and
helps prevent static cling when tumble
drying.

Synthetic starch
provides good stiffness to fabric.

Natural starch
stiffens and gives body to fabric.

 Add the fabric conditioner or liquid

starch to the  compartment or in­sert the appropriate capsule. Do not

exceed the maximum level mark.

The agent will be automatically dis­pensed in the last rinse. At the end of
the programme a small amount of water
will remain in the  compartment.

If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the dispenser compartment,
especially the siphon tube regularly.

Adding fabric conditioner or liquid starch separately

Prepare the starch in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.

Tip: With fabric conditioner the Water
Plus option has to be selected so that a

second rinse can be carried out. An ex­tra rinse has to be activated for Water
plus. The procedure for doing this is de­scribed in the “Settings” section of this
manual.

 Add fabric conditioner to the  com-

partment or insert the appropriate
capsule.

 Add liquid starch to the  compart-

ment and powder or viscous starch to
the  compartment.

 Select the Separate rinse / Starch

programme.

 Change the spin speed if necessary.
 If you are using a Cap press theCap

 button and activate cap dosing
with OK.

Colour run and dye removers/dyes

 Damage due to colour run/dye

removers.
Colour run and dye removers can

cause corrosion in the washer-dryer.
Do not use colour run or dye re-

movers in this washer-dryer.

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 use dye frequently. Always
follow the dye manufacturer’s instruc­tions carefully.

When using the machine to dye fab­ric it is essential to select the Water
plus Extra.

 Press the Start/Stop button.

49

DRYING

Separate drying

The separate drying programme
should be run 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.

1. Prepare the laundry

Sort the laundry

 Sort the laundry according to type of

fibre/weave and the residual moisture
content.

This will help you achieve an even dry­ing result.

 Before drying, check the drying sym-

bol on the care label.

If there is no care label, the article
should only be tumble dried in a pro­gramme specially designed for it.

Tips on drying

- Do not load the drum with items that
are still soaking wet. Spin the laundry
for at least 30seconds after washing.

- Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under­wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Therefore,
do not overdry the fabrics to prevent
them from shrinking further. Buy jer­sey garments that are one or two
sizes bigger.

- Starched laundry can be tumble
dried. To achieve the usual finish,
double the amount of starch should
be used.

- New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments. The colour
of dark garments can run or fluff from
garments of other colours may settle
on them.

- Observe the maximum loads given
for the drying programmes in the Pro­gramme chart.
The drying result and amount of
creasing depend on the size of the
load. The smaller the load in the
dryer, the better the result. Therefore,
if you reduce the load, you will
achieve a more even drying result
with less creasing.

- Woollens and wool blends are sus­ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens pro­gramme for these textiles.

- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the fab­ric may otherwise become rough.

3. Load the drum

Open the door

 Reach under the door grip and pull

the door open.

the “Programme chart”.

Close the door

 Make sure that no items are caught

between the door and the seal.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.

Detergent dispensing aids, e.g.
plastic dispenser balls, can melt dur­ing the drying programme and cause
damage to the machine and the
laundry.

An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem Cause and remedy

White residues which
look like powder deter­gent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.

Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.

Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.

The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
have ended up on the laundry.

 Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush

once the laundry is dry.

 Wash dark textiles using a detergent which con-

tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain
no zeolites.

 Use the Dark garments programme.

Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.

 Use more detergent.
 Before washing the next load, run the Maintenance

wash using Miele machine cleaner or a powder de­tergent.

Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching
agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea
stains.

 Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-

ing a bleaching agent.

 Pour stain remover into compartment  and li-

quid detergent into a dispensing ball (remove the
dispensing ball before drying!).

 Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to-

gether in the dispenser drawer.

Installation

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 washer-dryer must be level and

securely positioned.

 To avoid vibrations during spinning,

the washer-dryer must not be in­stalled on soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor,
please note:

 Use a plywood base underneath the

washer-dryer (at least
59x52x3cm). The base must span
several joists and be bolted to the
joists and not only to the floorboards.

Tip: If possible, install the washer-dryer
in a corner of the room, as this is usu­ally the most stable part of the floor.

Carrying the washer-dryer to its installation site

 Danger of injury due to unse-

cured lid.
The fixings at the back of the lid

could break as a result of external
forces. There is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.

Before carrying the machine, check
that the lid is secure where it pro­trudes at the back of the machine.

 Carry the washer-dryer by the front

feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the machine.

Remove the transit bars

 Danger of injury due to unse-

cured washer-dryer.
If the washer-dryer is installed on an

existing on-site plinth (concrete or
brick), there is a danger of the ma­chine falling off the plinth during the
spin cycle.

Secure the washer-dryer with a
fastening bracket (optional access­ory).

88

 Remove the left and right covers.

1. Pull off the transit bar covers and

2. then use a screwdriver to release the

then

 withdraw the transit bar.

89

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

 If the holes are not covered,

there is a risk of injury.
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 onto the two holes.

 The washer-dryer 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).

Installing under a worktop

Building under kits* must only be in­stalled/dismantled by a specialist.

- A special building under kit* is re­quired. The cover plate included in
the building under kit* replaces the lid
of the washer-dryer. It is necessary to
fit the cover plate for electrical safety
reasons.

- Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such a
way that they remain accessible
when the washer-dryer is in its final
position.

The building under kit includes installa­tion instructions.

* Optional accessories

Refitting the transit bars

 Refitting is carried out by reversing

the procedure.

90

*INSTALLATION*

Aligning the washer-dryer

The washer-dryer must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increase elec­tricity and water consumption and may
cause the washer-dryer to move about.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet

The 4 adjustable feet are used to level
the washer-dryer. The appliance is sup­plied with all feet screwed in.

Installation

 Use a spirit level to check the

washer-dryer is standing level.

 Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe

wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again us­ing the open spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the casing.

 Using the open spanner supplied,

turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise dir­ection. Then turn counter nut 2 to­gether with foot 1 to unscrew.

 Risk of damage from incorrectly

aligned washer-dryer.
There is a danger of the washer-

dryer moving about if the feet are not
secured.

Turn all 4 counter nuts for the feet
until they sit firmly up against the
casing. Please also check this for the
feet which did not need adjustment.

91

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

The water protection system

The Miele water protection system pro­tects all parts of the washer-dryer from
water damage.

The system mainly consists of the fol­lowing components:

- the inlet hose

- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection

- the drain hose

Inlet hose

- Protects the safety valve from burst­ing

The inlet hose can withstand pres­sure greater than 14,000kPa.

- The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.

The inlet hose has metal braiding as
a “second skin” to protect against
damage.

Electronic unit and casing

- The floor tray

Any leaking water is collected in a
floor tray in the base of the washer­dryer. A float switches off the water
inlet valves. Further water intake is
blocked. The water inside the suds
container is pumped down.

- Overflow protection

This prevents the washer-dryer from
taking in too much water and over­flowing. If the water level exceeds a
certain level, the drain pump
switches on and pumps the excess
water away.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a ventila­tion system which prevents the washer­dryer from being emptied completely.

92

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Water intake

 Health risk and risk of damage

due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water

must correspond to the drinking wa­ter specification of the country in
which the machine is being oper­ated.

Always connect the washing ma­chine to the mains water supply.

The washer-dryer is not required to
have a non-return valve connected to
the mains water supply as the washing
machine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations in Germany.

The water inlet pressure must be at
least 100kPa and must not exceed an
overpressure of 1000kPa. If the pres­sure exceeds 1000kPa, a pressure re­ducing valve must be installed.

Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a stopcock with a
¾" screw thread. If no stopcock is
available, only a qualified installer may
connect the washer-dryer to the mains
water supply.

Maintenance

Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 14,000kPa should you ever need
a replacement.

The dirt filter in the union nut at the
open end of the water protects the
water intake valve.

This filter must not be removed.

Hose extension

A 1.5metre long metal extension hose
is available from Miele as an optional
accessory.

The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.

You should open the stopcock slowly
and check for leaks. Correct the pos­ition of the seal and screw thread if
water escapes.

The washer-dryer is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.

93

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Water drainage

The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
free of kinks. The elbow piece supplied
hooks onto the end of the hose. If re­quired, the hose can be extended to a
length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from Miele or from your Miele
dealer.

For a delivery head of more than 1m
(up to a max. of 1.8m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice. With a
delivery head in excess of 1m the hose
can be extended to a maximum of

2.5m. Accessories are available from
Miele or from your Miele dealer.

Drainage options:

1. Directed into a sink or basin:

Please note:

– Hook the hose over the edge and

secure it.

– If the water is pumped into a

washbasin, make sure that it can
drain away freely. Otherwise there
is a risk of water overflowing or of
some of the drained water being
sucked back into the machine.

after the washer-dryer has been in­stalled. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.

 Risk of fire from overheating.

Connecting the washer-dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten­sion lead can overload the cable.

For safety reasons, do not use an ex­tension lead or multi-socket adapter.

The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations (BS
7671 in the UK).

If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer Ser­vice Department). For safety reasons,
such replacement may only be carried
out by a qualified technician or the
Miele Customer Service Department.

Do not connect the washer-dryer to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous power supply, e.g.
solar power. When the washer-dryer is
switched on, power surges could result
in an Auto switch-off. This could dam­age the electronic module.

The washer-dryer must not be con­nected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off automatic­ally.

The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appropri­ate fuse rating. Compare the specifica­tions on the data plate with those of the
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.

If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec­trician.

Consumption data

Note for test institutes

Consumption data and programme durations can vary from the nominal values
given depending on water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature,
room temperature, type and volume of load, residual moisture levels when drying,
fluctuations in the electricity supply and any options selected.

With PowerWash 2.0, the temperature measured by the sensor in the suds con­tainer is higher than the actual temperature of the laundry during the heating
phase.
The temperature measured here does not reflect the temperature of the laundry.
