Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
~
and "Technical data".
The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
~
disconnect the washer-dryer from the electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
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
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
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
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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

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.
The maximum load of dry laundry for this machine is 5.5 kg for
~
washing and 3.0 for drying. See the "Programme chart" for the
maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.
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.
If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an
~
optional accessory), please make sure you order the right one for
this washer-dryer.

detergents on silk, as the enzymes may
damage the silk. Instructions for use
and recommended dosage amounts
are given on the detergent packaging.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash.
Use the same quantity of detergent as
for soft water.
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment j of the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartment i for the pre-wash.
Washing with several components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment j in the
following order:
See "Optional accessories" at the end
of this booklet for details of Miele
branded care products, including
detergents and fabric conditioner.

2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
The right amount to dispense will

DRYING
Separate drying
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
The separate drying programme
must be used if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the
maximum load permitted for drying,
or if you only want to dry part of the
load that was washed.
– New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately
from light coloured garments to avoid
the danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.
Tips on drying
Do not put soaking wet items into
the machine to dry them; Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
ASort the laundry
^ Sort the laundry according to
type of fibre / weave and the residual
moisture content. This will help
achieve an even drying result.

Opening the drum door in the
event of a blocked drain outlet
and/or power failure
^ Switch the machine off.
Drain the machine
If the drain outlet is blocked, (up to 25
litres) of water will be retained in the
machine.
,Caution: if laundry has been
washed at a high temperature, water
draining out of the machine will still
be hot. Danger of scalding!
^ Remove the stopper.
^ Once the flow of water ceases, replace
the stopper in the end of the hose.
Opening the drum door
,Always make sure that the drum
is stationary before reaching into the
machine to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is
extremely dangerous.
^ Use a screwdriver to open the flap in
the machine plinth.
^ Pull the flap and the drain hose
attached to it out of the machine.
^ Point the drain hose into a suitable
container.
^ Use a screwdriver to push the
emergency door latch downwards (see

Cleaning the drain filter
^ Unscrew the drain filter completely
and then clean it thoroughly.
^ Remove the lever behind the
detergent drawer fascia panel.
The drain filter access flap is visible
when the drum door is open.
^ Check that the impeller can turn
easily. Remove any foreign objects
(e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and drain.
Clean the drain filter housing.
^ Use the lever to open the access
flap.
^ Put the drain filter back in place and
secure.
Be careful not to release too much
water at once. If the flow is too
strong, some water can seep into
the machine base and activate the
water protection system float switch.
This will prevent the machine from
functioning.
,Make sure the drain filter is
securely tightened. Otherwise there
is a risk of water leakage during use.

Installing the washer-dryer
Please note:
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface, being far less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle
than wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
^ Do not lift the machine by the door.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Please note the following points:
^ The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
Removing the transit fittings
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^ We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59x52x3 cm). The base should
span several joists and be bolted to
the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
,If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spinning
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).
^ To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
Otherwise there is the danger of the
machine moving about.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

Preparing the fixing points
Height (H): The plinth facing height
must be calculated after aligning the
height of the machine with the screw
feet or after fitting one or two raising
kits.
FHold the pre-drilled front panel in the
correct position in front of the
machine door.
Installation
GMark the fixing points on the back of
the front panel through the holes in
the machine door plate (see arrows
in the illustration).
^ Calculate height (H) from the floor up
into the groove (on the underside of
the washer-dryer).
HRemove the front panel.
INow drill holes (C 2.5 mm/10 mm
deep) in the back of the front panel.
^ Cut the plinth facing to size.
^ Slide it into the groove.
Useful tip:
Fitting a plinth facing
The gap between the lower edge of the
machine plinth and the floor can be
closed up using a suitable kitchen
furniture plinth facing.
If the machine is fitted on a raising kit,
you can use double-sided adhesive
tape on the back of the plinth facing to
secure it to the raising kit as well.
The machine plinth has a special
groove in which a plinth facing can be
fitted.

Installation and connection
The Miele water protection
system
– Overflow protection
This prevents the maching taking in
too much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches in and pumps the
excess water away.
The Miele water protection system
protects machine from water damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
3) Drain hose
1) the inlet hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
machine from being emptied
completely.
2) the electronic unit and the machine
housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
– The inlet hose is tested to withstand
pressure of more than 14,000 kPa.
– It has a protective sleeve which is
made from metal to protect the hose
from damage.
2) Electronic unit and machine
housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the machine. A
float switches off the safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.
76

Installation and connection
Connection to the water
supply
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the dirt filter in the water inlet
valve connection must not be
removed.
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
The German authorities do not require it
to have a non-return valve as the
washer-dryer has been designed to
comply with DIN regulations.
Extension hose
A 1.5 metre long (metal) extension hose
is available from your Miele dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department as an
optional extra.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
reducer valve.
This hose is tested to withstand
pressures of up to 14,000 kPa and can
be used as a flexible extension to the
water supply.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
,The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
This machine is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose which is
pressure tested to 14,000 kPa should
you ever need a replacement or
extension.
77

Installation and connection
Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin:
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise there is a risk of water
overflowing or of some of the drained
water being siphoned back into the
machine.
2. Connected securely to a plastic
drain pipe with a rubber nipple.
There is no need to use a non-return
valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
If required, the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.
