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.

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.

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  
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.

WASHING  
All modern detergents produced for  
automatic washing machines are  
suitable. Use dispensing aids, e.g.

detergent. Tablets are suitable for full  
loads, but note that it may be

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.  
1. Detergent  
2. Water softeners  
3. Stain remover  
The right amount to dispense will  
depend on the following:  
This way the agents are distributed  
more evenly.  
– The soiling level of the laundry  
Lightly soiled  
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly

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.  
– Woollens and wool blends tend to  
become matted and shrink if dried in  
a tumble dryer. They can be partially  
dried using the Woollens

symbol on the care label.

otherwise tend to roughen.  
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and  
underwear) tend to shrink depending  
on their quality. Therefore: Do not  
over-dry these textiles. When  
purchasing these garments it is  
advisable to take their shrinkage  
properties into account.

DRYING  
1) Smoothing+: Garments are  
dampened before the programme  
starts to help reduce creasing. Textiles  
are not completely dried in this  
programme to make them easier to  
iron. The drying temperature is  
determined by the programme being  
used.  
2) Timed drying: Timed dring is  
particularly suitable for small loads and  
for drying individual items. Garments  
are dried in warm air (times of between  
15 minutes and 2 hours can be  
selected). The drying temperature is  
determined by the programme being  
used. Do not select the longest drying  
time to start with. Check the items as  
you are drying them to find the optimum  
time.

WASHING AND DRYING  
Washing and drying in a  
continuous sequence  
To avoid the laundry forming a ring  
against the drum at the end of the  
washing programme, the spin speed  
is limited to a maximum of 1200 rpm  
when washing and drying in a  
continuous sequence.  
Where the amount of laundry to be  
washed and dried in one programme  
does not exceed the maximum  
weight permitted for the drying  
programme, washing and drying in  
one continuous sequence is  
recommended.  
^ Select the drying level or drying time  
you require.  
^ Now select extra options, if required.  
It is very important to read both the  
"Washing" and "Drying" sections  
before proceeding.

Rinse out fluff programme  
The fluff which occurs during drying  
can collect in the drum and also in the

not be used for rinsing laundry.  
Make sure that there are no items of  
laundry in the drum before starting

Installation surface  
Installing the washer-dryer  
A concrete floor is the most suitable  
installation surface, being far less  
To manoeuvre the machine out of its  
packing case to its installlation site,  
prone to vibration during the spin cycle hold it by the edge of the lid where it  
than wooden floorboards or a carpeted protrudes to the rear of the machine as  
surface.  
well as by the handle recesses at the  
front.  
Please note the following points:  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor are dry to prevent the  
machine from slipping during the  
spin cycle.  
^ The machine must be level and  
securely positioned.  
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,  
the machine should not be installed  
on soft floor coverings.  
Removing the transit bars  
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 possible, install the machine in a  
corner, as this is usually the most stable  
part of the floor.  
,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 a danger of the  
washer-dryer moving about and  
falling off the plinth.  
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.

Installation and connection  
Levelling the machine  
,To avoid the risk of injury the  
holes for the transit bars must be  
covered after the transit bars have  
been removed.  
The machine 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. False values may also show in  
the Load and Detergent display.  
^ Fit the covers on to the two holes.  
Then plug the holes as shown with  
the caps.  
,The machine must not be moved  
without the transit bars in place.  
Store them in a safe place for future  
use. They must be re-fitted if the  
machine is to be moved again (e.g.  
when moving house).  
Re-fitting the transit bars  
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the  
procedure.

Screwing out and adjusting the feet  
Building under a continous worktop /  
in a kitchen run  
The four adjustable screw feet are used  
to level the machine. All four feet are  
screwed in when the machine is  
delivered.  
The fitting of building under kits  
must only be undertaken by  
qualified and competent persons, in  
accordance with the instructions  
supplied with the kit.  
If you wish to push your machine under  
a worktop and there is space to do this  
without removing the lid, the  
conversion kit is not necessary.  
Otherwise it is essential.  
– The building under conversion kit*  
includes a cover plate which must be  
fitted to ensure electrical safety.  
– When installing under a 900/910 mm  
high worktop a raising kit* is  
required.  
^ Using the spanner supplied turn  
counter nut 2 in a clockwise  
direction. Then turn counter nut 2  
together with foot 1 to unscrew.  
– Connections for electricity, water and  
drainage should be installed in such  
a way that they remain accessible  
when the machine is in place.  
^ Use a spirit level to check the  
machine is standing level.  
^ Hold foot 1 securely with a pipe  
wrench. Turn counter nut 2 again  
using the spanner supplied until it  
sits firmly up against the housing.  
Fitting instructions are supplied with the  
conversion kit.  
All parts marked * are available from  
your Dealer, the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or via the internet at  
,All four counternuts must sit  
firmly up against the housing. Please  
also check this for the feet which did  
not need adjustment. Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving about.

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.

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.

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.
