Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note:
The washer-dryer must be level and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the washer-dryer must not be
installed on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor,
please note:
Use a plywood base underneath the
washer-dryer (at least
59x52x3cm). The base must span
several joists and be bolted to the
joists and not only to the floorboards.
Tip: If possible, install the washer-dryer
in a corner of the room, as this is
usually the most stable part of the floor.
Danger of injury due to
unsecured washer-dryer.
If the washer-dryer is installed on an
existing on-site plinth (concrete or
brick), there is a danger of the
machine falling off the plinth during
the spin cycle.
Secure the washer-dryer with a
fastening bracket (optional
accessory).
Carrying the washer-dryer to
its installation site
Danger of injury due to
unsecured lid.
The fixings at the back of the lid
could break as a result of external
forces. There is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.
Before carrying the machine, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
machine.
Carry the washer-dryer by the front
feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the machine.

Refitting the transit bars
Risk of damage from incorrect
transport.
The washer-dryer may become
damaged if moved without the transit
bars in place.
Keep the transit bars in a safe place.
Fit them again if the washer-dryer is
to be moved (e.g. when moving
house).
Opening the covers
Press against the retainer with a
sharp object (a narrow screwdriver,
for example).
The cover will open.
Fitting the transit bars
To fit the bars, follow the instructions
for removing them in reverse order.
Tip: The bars will slide in more easily if
you lift the drum slightly.
Installing under a worktop
Building under kits* must only be
installed/dismantled by a specialist.
- A special building under kit* is
required. The cover plate included in
the building under kit* replaces the lid
of the washer-dryer. It is necessary to
fit the cover plate for electrical safety
reasons.
- Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such a
way that they remain accessible
when the washer-dryer is in its final
position.
The building under kit includes
installation instructions.

Aligning the washer-dryer
The washer-dryer must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the washer-dryer to move
about.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The 4 adjustable feet are used to level
the washer-dryer. The appliance is
supplied with all feet screwed in.
Using the open spanner supplied,
turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1 to unscrew.
Use a spirit level to check the
washer-dryer is standing level.
Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again
using the open spanner supplied until
it sits firmly up against the casing.
Risk of damage from incorrectly
aligned washer-dryer.
There is a danger of the washer-
dryer moving about if the feet are not
secured.
Turn all 4 counter nuts for the feet
until they sit firmly up against the
casing. Please also check this for the
feet which did not need adjustment.

The water protection system
The Miele water protection system
protects all parts of the washer-dryer
from water damage.
The system mainly consists of the
following components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protects the safety valve from
bursting
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure greater than 14,000kPa.
- The inlet hose has a protective
sleeve.
The inlet hose has metal braiding as
a “second skin” to protect against
damage.
Electronic unit and casing
- The floor tray
Any leaking water is collected in a
floor tray in the base of the washer-
dryer. A float switches off the water
inlet valves. Further water intake is
blocked. The water inside the suds
container is pumped down.
- Overflow protection
This prevents the washer-dryer from
taking in too much water and
overflowing. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches on and pumps the
excess water away.
Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
washer-dryer from being emptied
completely.

Water intake
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking
water specification of the country in
which the machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing
machine to the mains water supply.
The washer-dryer is not required to
have a non-return valve connected to
the mains water supply as the washing
machine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations in Germany.
The water inlet pressure must be at
least 100kPa and must not exceed an
overpressure of 1000kPa. If the
pressure exceeds 1000kPa, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a stopcock with a
¾" screw thread. If no stopcock is
available, only a qualified installer may
connect the washer-dryer to the mains
water supply.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
You should open the stopcock slowly
and check for leaks. Correct the
position of the seal and screw thread
if water escapes.
The washer-dryer is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance
Only use a genuine Miele hose that has
been pressure tested to withstand at
least 14,000kPa should you ever need
a replacement.
The dirt filter in the union nut at the
open end of the water protects the
water intake valve.
This filter must not be removed.
Hose extension
A 1.5metre long metal extension hose
is available from Miele as an optional
accessory.

Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
free of kinks. The elbow piece supplied
hooks onto the end of the hose. If
required, the hose can be extended to a
length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from Miele or from your Miele
dealer.
For a delivery head of more than 1m
(up to a max. of 1.8m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice. With a
delivery head in excess of 1m the hose
can be extended to a maximum of
2.5m. Accessories are available from
Miele or from your Miele dealer.
Drainage options:
1. Directed into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it.
– If the water is pumped into a
washbasin, make sure that it can
drain away freely. Otherwise there
is a risk of water overflowing or of
some of the drained water being
sucked back into the machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no
need to use a siphon).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).
4. Connected securely to a washbasin
with a plastic nipple.

Electrical connection
The washer-dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washer-dryer has been
installed. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washer-dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket
adapter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK). We recommend
the use of a suitable RCD.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified
technician or the Miele Customer
Service Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical
connection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not
synchronised with the mains power
supply (e.g. island networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A prerequisite for
operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications
of EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the
protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in
this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in
operation that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply, or these
measures must be replaced by
equivalent measures in the installation.
As described, for example, in the
current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2
ISO 45001.
