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.
6
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 IEC60335-1, 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.

on to any future owner.
Correct application
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 100kPa and must not
exceed 1000kPa.
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.

WASHING
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.
24
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

5. Add detergent
Detergent is depensed either via the detergent drawer or with Cap dosing.
Detergent dispenser drawer
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.
Adding detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add
detergent to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash (divide the
total recommended amount as follows:
⅓ to compartment and ⅔ to compartment)
