~It is essential to read these instructions.
This washer-dryer conforms to current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the washer-dryer,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important information on its installation, safety,
use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
~This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts. It must only be used to:
–wash garments which have been declared suitable for washing by
the manufacturer indicated on the care label.
–dry garments which have been washed in water previously and
have been declared suitable for drying by the garment
manufacturer indicated on the care label.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held
liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.
Warning and safety instructions
6

~This washer-dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~Keep children away from the washer dryer at all times. It 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 children whilst you are
using it.
~Older children may only use the washer-dryer if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Warning and safety instructions
7

Technical safety
~Before setting up the washer-dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.
~Before connecting the washer-dryer, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~The electrical safety of this washer-dryer 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 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 machine to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the washer-dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
~Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. Ensure current
is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work
has been carried out.
Warning and safety instructions
8

~In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washer-dryer
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 disconnected, or the screw-out fuse is removed
(in countries where this is applicable).
~The Miele “Water protection system” protects from water damage
provided the following conditions have been met:
–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 replaced by genuine 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.
~This washer-dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
~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 warranty.
~Do not make any alterations to the washer-dryer unless
authorised to do so by Miele.
Warning and safety instructions
9

Correct use
,Caution! Risk of fire.
To avoid the possible danger of fire, please read
these warnings carefully.
~The washer-dryer is not suitable for outdoor use.
~Do not install your washer-dryer in rooms where temperatures
below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing point.
~Before using the washer-dryer for the first time, check that the
transit bars 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 tap 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 imme-
diate 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. A Miele
descaling agent is available to order (see "Cleaning and care").
Warning and safety instructions
10

~To prevent the risk of fire, the following 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 which are still soiled with grease, oil or other
deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, 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 which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents
or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol,
stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or 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.
~To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not 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.
–damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of
igniting in the washer-dryer.
Warning and safety instructions
11

~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.
Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before
removing the laundry.
~Warning: Do not switch the washer-dryer off before the end of a
drying programme. If this is done and the laundry is then removed
immediately, it could give off a great amount of heat.
~Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
~Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneaously, 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.
~Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Warning and safety instructions
12

~Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Do not use these products in
this machine.
~Make sure that any dispensing balls etc. are removed from the
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.
~Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the washer-dryer.
~Never use solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzene, in this machine, as this may result in damage to
component parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a
fire and explosion hazard.
~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, warranty, performance and product
liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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 amount
for the programme you are using.
–Use the Automatic plus and Express
20 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 time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme
instead of the Cottons 95°C
programme will result in energy
savings of between 35% and 45%.
This is sufficient for most levels of
soiling. For stubborn or old soiling,
use the Soak Extra option.
–Using the Cottons 40°C programme
is recommended for a normally
soiled load and is the programme
used in energy/water consumption
tests to AS/NZS 2040 (Refer to
consumption data).
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 Extra option for very heavily
soiled laundry.
– The Pre-wash Extra option for
laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g. dust, sand).
When drying straight after washing
Select a high spin speed for the wash
programme, as well as for the
Thermospin to save time and energy.
