Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
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. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

8
Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, have the electrical installation inspected by a qualified electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation and connection” and “Technical data”.
The 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 for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by Miele.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washer-dryer must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
–switched off at the wall socket and the power plug is withdrawn from the socket
–the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
9
Warning and Safety instructions
The Miele water protection system protects from water damage provided the following conditions are met:
–The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the electricity supply.
–If a fault or damage has been identified, the washer-dryer must be repaired by a competent person before further use.
The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and must not exceed 1000 kPa.

10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials. To avoid the possible
danger of fire, please read these warnings carefully.
Do not install the washer-dryer in rooms that are subject to frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and 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 appliance have been removed (see “Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars”). During the spin cycle, a transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to the washer-dryer and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the tap if the washer-dryer is to be left for a longer period of time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin, check that the water can drain away fast enough to prevent the sink from overflowing. Secure the drain hose against slipping. The force of the water flowing out of the hose can dislodge it.
Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum).
Damaged components can, in turn, result in damage to the laundry.
Take care to remove any detergent dispensing aids (e.g. detergent balls) before drying the laundry. These can melt during the drying programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Caution! The metal cap is hot after drying. Open the door wide after drying. Do not touch the metal cap located on the inside of the door glass. Danger of burning!
Fabric softener 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, you do wish to descale your washer-dryer, only use special non-corrosive descaling agents. These are available from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this washer-dryer:
–Items which have not been washed.
–Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.
–Items that have been soiled with flammable substances such as cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
–Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such 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 never be dried in this washer-dryer:
–Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents).
–Fabrics 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.
–Fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could come out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washer-dryer, and only use them in domestic quantities. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use dye removers in this washerdryer.
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 reduces the risk of the laundry selfigniting). The programme is not finished until after the cooling down phase. It is advisable to remove all laundry as soon as the programme has finished.
Do not switch the washer-dryer off before the end of the drying programme, unless all items are removed immediately and spread out to cool down.
Fabrics that have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being placed in the machine.
Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate in and around the tumble dryer.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
Never use solvent based cleaning agents (e.g. one containing benzine) in this washer-dryer. This may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!
If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out immediately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has accidentally been ingested seek medical advice immediately. People with damaged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with the detergent.
The maximum dry laundry weight is 7.0 kg for washing and 4.0 kg for drying. See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.
Be careful when opening the door following use of the steam function. There is a 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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this machine. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

22
TwinDos
The washer-dryer has an integrated detergent dispensing unit.
The detergent dispensing unit can be used:
1.with the Miele 2 Phase System or
2.with conventional liquid detergent and/or fabric softener
The Miele 2 Phase System
The Miele 2 Phase System uses a base detergent (UltraPhase 1) and a detergent enhancer (UltraPhase 2). For the best washing result, these two agents are dispensed at separate times during the washing process. The 2 Phase System cleans both white and coloured textiles thoroughly. UltraPhase 1 and UltraPhase 2 are available in disposable cartridges via the Miele online shop or from Miele. Empty cartridges should be disposed of via your local recycling system.
Liquid detergent/Fabric softener
Refillable TwinDos containers are required for liquid detergent and/or fabric softener. These are available to order from Miele or online at shop.miele.com (see the end of this booklet for details).
How TwinDos works
Automatic detergent dispensing for a wash cycle is activated via the TwinDos button.
The washer-dryer is delivered pre-set for the Miele 2 Phase system for hardness range I ( ).
The settings only need to be changed if you wish to use a different detergent or if the water hardness is different.
See “Settings - TwinDos” for more detailed information.
Automatic dispensing cannot be selected with some programmes, depending on the detergent present in the TwinDos system. For example, automatic dispensing cannot be activated for the Woollens programme if the Miele 2 Phase system is being used. This prevents woollen garments from being damaged by a detergent which is not suitable for washing wool.
Do not fill the containers with any specialist detergents. Use cap dosing or the detergent dispenser drawer for these.
23
Environmentally friendly washing and drying
Energy and water consumption
–Load the maximum amount for the programme you are using. The energy and water consumption will then be the lowest in relation to the size of the load.
–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). Using lower temperature settings will save energy.
–To maintain the hygiene of the machine, carry out a hot wash (above 60°C) at regular intervals. The message Hygiene info will appear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent

Washing
1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips etc.) can cause damage to fabrics and to components in the machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Wash light and dark coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains 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.
Useful tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg, coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using some handy tricks which can be found in the Miele guide to laundry care. Please contact Miele to obtain a copy of this booklet.
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g. one containing benzine) can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.
Do not use chemical (solventbased) cleaning agents in or on this washer-dryer. They can cause severe damage to the machine.
General tips
–Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag.
–Remove or sew in any loose underwiring in bras or shirt collar stiffeners.
–Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc. before washing.
–Wash light and coloured items separately.
–Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label ( symbol).

3. Loading the drum |
Closing the door |
Opening 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 creasing.
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.
