Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance or
machine. Please do not therefore
dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. The plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.
See the "Warning and Safety" section of
this booklet for further details.

To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, installation, use and
maintenance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Correct usage
This washer-dryer must only be
used:
– to wash items which are specified by
the manufacturer to be washable on
the care label.
– to dry textiles which have been
washed in a water solution, marked on
the manufacturer's care label as being
suitable for tumble drying. "Dry
cleaning kits" for freshening up
garments in a tumble dryer are
increasingly available on the market. If
using, do so at your own risk, and
follow the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Any other applications may be dange-
rous. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by improper
or incorrect use of the appliance.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a
damaged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the machine and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations.
It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is present and
regularly tested and where there is any
doubt the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions
6

The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
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 approved
technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
The machine is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable
The Miele "Water protection
system" protects from water
damage provided the machine is
correctly plumbed in and connected to
the electricity supply.
If a fault has been identified, the
machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use,
and repaired if necessary.
–Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
–If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to
protect the user from danger.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance 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 appliance guarantee.
Use
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Do not install your machine in
rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may
burst under pressure.The reliability of
the electronic control unit may be
impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Before using the machine for the
first time, check that the transit
fittings at the rear of the machine have
been removed (see section on
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit
fitting which is still in place may result in
damage to both the machine and
adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the stopcock if the
machine 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.
If the correct amount of detergent
is dispensed, the machine should
not need to be descaled. If, however,
you do wish to descale the machine
only use proprietary non-corrosive
descaling agents and strictly observe
the instructions on the packaging. If in
doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based
cleaning agents must be thoroughly
rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such
detergents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine.
Always observe the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
Colour run and dye removers
contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion.
Do not use these products in this
machine.
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

To prevent the risk of fire the
following textiles must not be dried
in this machine:
–fabrics which contain a large
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber like materials.
–items which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets).
–items which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents.
–items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
– items which have been soiled with
oils or residues containing grease
(kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.).
– items soiled with wax or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
– items which have not been
thoroughly cleaned and which are
still soiled with grease or oil, e.g.
workwear. Such clothing may require
a heavy duty detergent to get them
clean. If necessary, consult the
detergent manufacturer for advice.
Make sure that any dispensing
balls etc. are removed from laundry
before the drying programme. These
dispensers can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the
machine and the laundry. Do not use
liquid dispenser balls or similar if you
are planning to wash and then dry in
one continuous sequence.
Take care, the metal cap is hot
after drying. Open the door wide
after the drying cycle. Do not touch the
metal cap located on the inside of the
door glass. It will still be hot and could
cause a burn.
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.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it or to play
with its controls. Supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm, and supervise

Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
The washer-dryer has a sensor which
measures the amount of laundry in the
drum. This determines the amount of
detergent required. To allow the load
size indicator to function correctly, you
must first run a wash programme
without any laundry and without
detergent.

Energy and water consumption
–Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
–Use the
Automatic and Express
programmes for small loads.
–When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed using the
Cottons
programmes, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the
programme duration is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Using the
Cottons 60°C programme
instead of the
Cottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak extra option.
Detergent
–Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads. Use the
Load/Detergent button.
Choosing the correct extra option
(Pre-wash, Soak, Short)
Select:
A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling.
A wash programme together with the
Soak option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– Use the extra option
Soak instead of
Pre-wash . If Soak is followed immedi-
ately by a main wash, the same suds
are used.
When drying straight afterwards
–Select a high spin speed for the
wash programme, as well as for the
Thermospin, if tumble drying this
laundry afterwards. This saves time
and energy.

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A,B,C, . . .
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
Separate washing
ASort the laundry
^Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.
^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!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
,Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in this machine.
^Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
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.
–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.
– Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow
cases to prevent small items from
being trapped inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as non-machine
washable on the care label. (h

permissible for the programme
selected.
^Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in 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 causes creases and reduces
cleaning efficiency.
Make sure that no garments are
caught between the drum door and
seal.
^Shut the door with a gentle swing.

You also need to take the level of
soiling and water hardness into
account.
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 burden to the environment.
^Pull out the detergent drawer and
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i= Detergent for the pre-wash
(1/4of the total amount
recommended). This
compartment is also used for
starch formulations when
starching separately.
j= Detergent for the main wash
including Soak
§= Fabric conditioner or liquid
starch
^Close the detergent drawer.

FStart the programme
^Press the flashing
Start/Stop button.
The estimated programme duration will
count down in the display in one minute
steps. During the first 10 minutes the
machine measures how much water is
being absorbed by the laundry. The
programme duration may be longer or
shorter depending on this absorbency
rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The washer-dryer
shows you when each section of the
programme is reached.
The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
GRemove the laundry when the
programme has finished
In the anti-crease phase after the
programme has finished, the following
will appear alternately in the display:

removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.
Important! Always remove the
laundry before switching the machine
off. This is important to ensure that
the load size indicator works
correctly.
^Switch the machine off with the
I-On/0-Off button.
See "After each washing or drying
programme" for further information.
After washing a full load
If you have washed a full load of
laundry and you wish to dry the
