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.

supply if necessary.
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 100kPa and must not
exceed 1000kPa.
The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the
condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in
good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele original spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the 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 operated in mobile installations
(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.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the machine warranty.
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 8.0 kg for washing and 5.0 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 (UltraPhase1) and a
detergent enhancer (UltraPhase2). 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 Miele2Phase 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
– For precise dispensing, use

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 (solvent-
based) 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).

The display shows, in 25% steps, the
amount of laundry loaded in the drum

water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creasing.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
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
