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 machine
Electrical and electronic machines
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 machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. 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.

~It is essential to read the operating 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 washer-dryer is not designed for commercial use. It is
intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and
residential environments.
~It must only be used as a domestic appliance to
–wash items which are specified by the manufacturer as being
washable on the care label.
–dry items which have been washed in a water solution and which
are marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for
tumble drying. If using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk,
and follow the instructions provided on the packaging.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
incorrect or improper use or operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~The washer-dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
~The washer-dryer can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
Safety with children
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
washer-dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use the washer-dryer without
supervision if they have been shown how to do so in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
~Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the
washer-dryer unsupervised.
~The washer-dryer is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play on or near it or to play with the controls.
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 connected 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed 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 washer-dryer to the mains electricity supply
by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
~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 service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the
guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~The washer-dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during installation, maintenance and repair
work.
~The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage
provided the following conditions have been met:
–the washer-dryer is correctly plumbed in and connected to the
electricity supply.
–if a fault has been identified, the washer-dryer 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 electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
~The washer-dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
~Do not make any alterations to the washer-dryer, unless
authorised to do so by Miele.
~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the washer-dryer
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 guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

Correct 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
"Installation and connection - Removing the transit bars"). During
spinning, a transit fitting 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 that 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 washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer
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 special
descaling agent is available to order from Miele. Follow the
instructions for use on the packaging carefully.
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 self-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, benzine, 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 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 tumble dried:
–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.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
~Warning: Do not switch the washer-dryer off before the drying
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung
up or spread out to cool it down.
~Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
~Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washer-dryer. 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 washer-dryer.
~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
washer-dryer 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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.
~Caution, 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. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
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 give 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.
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.
