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 (by law, depending on country) 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.

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 and connection - 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.
Caution, the metal cap located on the inside of the door glass is
very hot after drying. Open the drum door fully after drying. Do not
touch the metal cap. Danger of burning!
11
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.
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 4.0 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 us-
age 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 deter-
gent 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.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to 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
coloureds separately.
Pre-treat stains
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pretreated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly
stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for
advice.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.
benzine) can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) are protected from cleaning
agent.
Do not use solvent-based clean-
ing agents in or on this washer-dryer.
General tips
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-
ers, fasten hooks and eyes etc. before washing.
– Wash whites and coloureds separ-
ately.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
Do not machine wash items which are
specified by the manufacturer as notwashable on the care label ( sym-
bol).

Too little detergent results in:
– Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
WASHING
– Greasy particles clinging to laundry.
– Limescale deposits on the heater ele-
ments.
Too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,

With frequent washing at low temperatures there is a danger of a build-up of
bacteria in the washer-dryer.
Cleaning the washer-dryer will significantly reduce bacteria, mould and biofilm
and prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours.
Note– Optimum results can be achieved by using Miele machine cleaner.
Alternatively, a universal powder detergent can be used.

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 Minimumiron 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 spinning, 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 washer-dryer will pump water away or 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 must
not be lower than 600 rpm.
– CapDosing (, ) ) has not been se-
lected 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
with theProgrammeManager, Steamsmoothing, Stains or Further options
buttons.
Example:
Press the ProgrammeManager but-
ton.
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.

Detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the packaging.
Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.
The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:
– the soiling level of the load
– the quantity of the laundry
– the water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
Definition of the soiling level
– Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.

Miele recommended detergents
Miele detergents and care products have been specially designed for Miele washing machines. They are available to order via the Miele Webshop or from Miele.
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.

Cap
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 Waterplus. 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 theCap
button and activate cap dosing
with OK.
Colour run and dye removers/dyes
Colour run and dye removers are
corrosive.
Do not use them 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 dye frequently. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
When using the machine to dye
fabric it is essential to select the Water plus option.
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 put soaking wet items into the
machine to dry them. Spin them thoroughly for at least 30 seconds after
washing.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
– Starched laundry can be tumble
dried. To achieve the usual finish,
double the amount of starch should
be used.
– New dark coloured items should not
be tumble dried with light coloured
items to avoid the risk of them causing discolouration. This also prevents
the risk of dark coloured fibres settling on light coloured items and vice
versa.
– Observe the maximum load for drying
quoted in the "Programme chart".
Drying results and creasing are affected by the size of the load. The
smaller the load the better the result.
Reducing the size of the load will ensure particularly even and crease-free
drying.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if tumble
dried. Only dry these in the Woollens
programme.
– Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as the
surface of the fabric may otherwise
become rough.

What to do if...
An unsatisfactory wash result
ProblemCause 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 thedispensing ball before drying!).
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent to-
gether in the dispenser drawer.

calculate the residual moisture content.
Start the programme again and instead of a drying
level select a Timed drying programme.
In future use a Timed drying programme for small
amounts of laundry.
During spinning, the laundry formed a ring in the drum
because the laundry was distributed unevenly.
The laundry formed a ring during the thermospin because it was too damp or because the spin speed
was set too high.
Open the door and loosen the laundry.

Installation and connection
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for this machine, being 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:
We recommend installing the ma-
chine on a plywood base at least 59
x52x 3 cm). The base should span
several joists and be bolted to the
joist and not only the floorboards.
Check for the presence of pipes and
cables first.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
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.
The washer-dryer must be secured
with an MTS floor mounting kit (available from Miele).
Installing the washer-dryer
Hold the washer-dryer by the front feet
and by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the machine.
Danger of slippage during spin-
ning.
The machine feet and installation
surface must be dry.
Remove the transit bars
Remove the left and right covers.
1. Pull on the attached stopper and
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.
88
Installation and connection
Using the spanner supplied, turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
pull the transit bar out.
Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
pull the transit bar out.
89
Installation and connection
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 they have been removed.
Plug the holes with the plastic caps
as illustrated.
The washer-dryer must not be
moved without the transit bars in
place.
Keep the transit bars in a safe place.
They must be refitted if the washerdryer is moved again (e.g. when
moving house).
Installing under a continuous
worktop
The machine lid cannot be re-
moved.
This washer-dryer(with lid intact) can be
pushed under a worktop if there is
space to do so.
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing
the procedure.
90
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 four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the washer-dryer. All four feet
are screwed in when the machine is delivered.
Installation and connection
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 spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
All four counter nuts must sit
tight up against the casing. Otherwise there is a risk of the machine
moving.
Please also check this for the feet
which did not need adjustment.
Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then unscrew counter nut 2 together
with foot 1.
91
Installation and connection
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 burst-
ing
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
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the washerdryer. A float switches off the water
inlet valves, preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and
water in the suds container is
pumped away.
– Overflow protection
This prevents the washer-dryer taking in too much water. If the water
level exceeds a certain level, the
drain pump switches in and pumps
the excess water away in a controlled
way.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a ventilation system which prevents the washerdryer from being emptied completely.
92
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
The washer-dryer should be connected
to the mains water supply in accordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between 100
and 1000kPa. If it is higher than
1000kPa it is essential to fit a pressure
reducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with 3/4" threaded union. The stopcock
should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The screw connection 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.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been tested to withstand pressure of at
least 14,000 kPa should you ever need
a replacement.
The dirt filter in the open end of the
inlet hose must not be removed.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from your Miele dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra.
The washer-dryer is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
93
Installation and connection
Water drainage
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre. The
drain hose 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. If
required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 5m. The necessary
parts can be purchased from your Miele
Dealer or Miele.
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 or your Miele
Dealer for advice. If necessary, the
drain hose can be extended to a length
of 2.5 m. The necessary parts can be
purchased from your Miele Dealer or
Miele.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin.
Please note:
– 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 washer-dryer.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no
need to use a non-return valve.
