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.
6
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 physical, 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.
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 unsupervised 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 washerdryer unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washer-dryer and do not let them play with it.
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 original 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 authorised to do so by Miele.
Reliable and safe operation of this washer-dryer can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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-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.
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 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 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.
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.

-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.
-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
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 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.
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.
-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
3. Load the drum |
Close 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.
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.
Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
The display will ask you to enter the degree of soiling of the laundry.
24
WASHING
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.
Heavily soiled
Soiling and/or stains clearly visible.

WASHING
5. Add detergent |
Adding detergent |
Detergent is depensed either via the de-
tergent drawer or with Cap dos-
ing .
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.
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 )
Detergent for the main wash, including Soak if selected

Fabric conditioner, liquid starch or capsules
See “WASHING”, “Detergent” for further information about detergents and how much to dispense.
