Warning and Safety instructions  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (fusing, voltage and  
frequency) matches the mains  
electricity supply. If in any doubt,  
consult a qualified electrician.  
Read the operating instructions  
before using this machine for the  
first time. They contain important  
information about the safety,  
installation, use and maintenance of  
the machine. This way you will avoid  
the risk of accidents and damage to  
the machine.  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and ensure that new  
users are familiar with the content.  
Pass them on to any future owner of  
the machine.  
The electrical safety of this  
machine can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between  
the machine and an effective earthing  
system which complies with local and  
national safety regulations.  
It is most important that this basic  
safety requirement is regularly tested  
by a qualified electrician.  
Correct usage  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
responsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system.  
This washer-dryer must only be  
used:  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead. Extension leads do not  
guarantee the required safety of the  
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).  
– to wash textiles which are declared  
by the manufacturer on the care  
label to be machine washable, as  
well as hand washable woollens.  
– to dry textiles which have been  
washed in a water solution, marked on  
the manufacturer's wash care label as  
being suitable for tumble drying.  
The machine is built in accordance  
with current safety requirements.  
Unauthorised repairs could result in  
unforeseen dangers for the user, for  
which the manufacturer cannot accept  
responsibility. Repairs should only be  
undertaken by a Miele approved  
technician.  
Any other applications may be dange-  
rous. The manufacturer cannot be held  
responsible for damage caused by  
improper or incorrect use of the appliance.  
Do not let small children play with  
the machine and its controls or  
operate it. Supervise its use by the  
elderly or infirm.  
The machine 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and the plug is withdrawn, or  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– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed in  
countries where this is applicable.  
Technical safety  
Before setting up the machine,  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Do not install or use a  
damaged machine.

Warning and Safety instructions  
The Miele "Waterproof system"  
protects from water damage  
provided the following conditions have  
been met:  
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.  
– the machine is correctly plumbed in  
and connected to the electricity  
supply.  
Do not install your machine in  
rooms where temperatures below  
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may  
burst under pressure.The reliability of  
the electronic control unit may be  
impaired at temperatures below  
freezing point.  
– 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  
exchanged for Miele original spare  
parts. Only when these parts are fitted  
can the safety standards of the  
machine be guaranteed.  
Before using the machine for the  
first time, check that the transit  
fitting at the rear of the machine has  
been removed (see section on  
If the connection cable is faulty it  
must only be replaced by a Miele  
approved service technician to protect  
the user from danger.  
"Installation"). During spinning, a transit  
fitting which is still in place may result in  
damage to both the machine and  
adjacent furniture or appliances.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
appliance 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 appliance guarantee.  
Turn off the stopcock 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 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 the drain hose is secure, so that the  
force of the water flowing out of the hose  
does not dislodge it.  
Use  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk  
assessment of the installation being  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.  
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.

door, remember that the porthole  
glass will be hot when washing at very  
high temperatures.  
Do not let children touch it during a hot  
wash programme.  
There is a danger of fire during  
drying with fabrics which:  
– contain rubber, foam rubber or  
rubber like materials  
– have been treated with inflammable  
cleaning agents  
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. If in  
doubt contact the Miele Customer Ser-  
vice Dept. or your Miele Dealer.  
– have been splashed with hair  
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish  
remover or similar substances  
– which contain padding or fillings  
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were  
damaged, the filling could get out  
with the risk of igniting in the dryer.  
Make sure that any dispensing  
balls etc. are removed from laundry  
before the drying programme. These

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 machine.  
Using accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted  
when expressly approved by Miele.  
If other parts are used, guarantee,  
performance and product liability  
claims will be invalidated.  
Only use dyes specified by the  
manufacturer as being suitable for  
use in a domestic washing machine.  
Always observe the manufacturer's  
instructions carefully.  
Disposal of your old machine  
Disconnect and remove the mains plug  
from the socket. Render the plug  
useless. Cut off the cable directly  
behind the appliance to prevent  
misuse.

Washing and drying environmentally  
– Ideally load the maximum amount  
specified for the programme you are  
using.  
– Do not exceed the amounts of  
detergent which may be  
recommended by the manufacturer  
on the packaging.  
This way energy and water  
consumption will be kept to a  
minimum.  
– Reduce the amount of detergent with  
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than  
the amount recommended can be  
used when washing a half load).  
– Use the QUICK WASH programme  
for small loads.  
– Use the Short wash option for lightly  
soiled laundry.  
– Load recognition can cause the  
duration of a programme to vary  
greatly. The main wash may be  
shortened and a rinse cycle omitted  
depending on the amount of laundry.  
– A main wash (programme without  
pre-wash) is sufficient for cleaning  
normally soiled laundry.  
– Select a high spin speed for the  
wash programme, as well as for the  
Thermospin, if tumble drying the  
laundry afterwards. This saves time  
and energy.  
– Use the Soak option for heavily  
soiled laundry. The wash  
temperature can be reduced for the  
main wash when using the additonal  
soak option.  
– Use the additional option Soak  
instead of Pre-wash with heavily  
soiled laundry. If Soak is followed im-  
mediately by a main wash the same  
suds are used.

– Curtains: Remove lead weights and  
strips or place in a laundry bag.  
– Bras: Ensure any underwiring is  
securely sewn in. If not, remove it.  
– Knitted garments, trousers and  
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn  
inside out, if recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and  
eyes etc before washing.  
^ Empty all pockets.  
– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent  
small items from being rolled up  
inside them.

^ Stains etc. should be removed as  
soon as possible whilst still fresh.  
Spillages should be carefully dabbed  
off using a soft, colourfast cloth. Do  
not rub!  
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated  
with liquid detergent, stain removers  
etc. first, following the manufacturer's  
instructions. With particularly stubborn  
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.

JAdding detergent  
It is important to dispense the correct  
amount, because... . .  
. . . too little detergent results in:  
– Laundry not being cleaned properly  
and with time it may become grey  
and hard to the touch.  
– Greasy particles clinging to the  
laundry.  
– Limescale deposits on the heater  
elements.  
. . . too much detergent results in:  
^ Pull out the detergent drawer and  
place detergent in the compartments  
as follows:  
– Excessive foam, which causes a low  
level of agitation and poor wash,  
rinse and spin results.  
i = Pre-wash  
(if selected, 1/4 of the total  
amount recommended for the  
programme)  
– Higher water consumption because  
an extra rinse is automatically  
activated.  
j = Main wash  
including the Soak period  
if selected  
– A burden to the environment.  
Add detergent for the pre-wash to  
compartment i and to compartment  
j for the main wash. If the capacity of  
compartment j is not sufficient (e.g.  
in water hardness area III), some of the  
main wash detergent can be added to  
compartment i.

T-Shirts, knitted garments) tend to  
shrink to varying extents depending on  
their quality. Therefore: to prevent

Installation and connection  
Installation surface  
Installation  
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.  
Lift the machine from its packaging  
base and move it to its site. Please note  
the following:  
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum  
door.  
Please note the following:  
,Ensure that the machine feet and  
the floor area 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.  
If installing on a wooden joist floor:  
^ We recommend the use of 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 pipes and  
cables beforehand!  
The most stable part of the floor is  
usually in the corner.  
,If the machine is installed on a  
raised plinth, it has to be secured  
against slippage during spin using  
retaining clips (available from the  
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise  
there is the danger of the machine  
moving about.

Installation and connection  
The Miele Waterproof system  
2) Electronic unit and washing  
machine housing  
The Miele Waterproof system protects  
the washing machine from water  
damage.  
– Sump  
Any leaking water is collected in a  
sump in the base of the appliance. A  
float switches off the safety valves,  
preventing any more water from  
flowing into the machine and water in  
the suds container is pumped away.  
The system consists of three main  
components:  
1) the inlet hose  
2) the electronic unit and the washing  
machine housing  
– Overflow protection  
3) the drain hose  
This prevents the washing machine  
taking in too much water. If the water  
level exceeds a certain level, the  
drain pump switches in and pumps  
the excess water away.  
1) Inlet hose  
– The inlet hose is fitted with an  
additional electrical safety valve  
which works like an automatic  
stopcock and is housed in the inlet  
hose connection box.  
3) Drain hose  
The drain hose is protected by a  
ventilation system which prevents the  
washing machine from being  
emptied completely.  
– It is pressure proof to between 70  
and 100 bar.  
– The inlet hose has a protective  
sleeve.  
Any leaking water from the inlet hose  
is fed into the sump through this  
protective sleeve. A float switches off  
the safety valve, preventing any more  
water from flowing into the machine  
and water in the suds container is  
pumped away.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the water supply Connection to the mains water supply  
should incorporate a mains stopcock  
Installation  
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should  
be fitted by a qualified plumber.  
For the Miele Waterproof system to  
function correctly, it may only be fitted  
in the positions shown in the  
illustrations above.  
,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.  
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.  
The appliance is not suitable for  
connection to a hot water supply  
and connection to a household  
water softener is not recommended.  
The machine is designed to operate  
with a flow pressure of between 1 and  
10 bar. If it is higher than 10 bar it is  
essential to fit a reducer valve.

Installation and connection  
The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The  
Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be  
connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there  
is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it.  
The protective sleeve of the hose  
must not be damaged or kinked.  
Do not get wet.

Installation and connection  
Maintenance and care  
If you intend to unscrew the Miele  
Waterproof system hose from the  
stopcock it is essential to disconnect  
the machine from the electricity supply  
first.  
Only use a Miele Waterproof system  
hose should you need a replacement.  
In order to protect the water inlet  
valves, the dirt filter in the water inlet  
safety valve connection must not be  
removed.  
Extension hose  
A 4.5 m Miele Waterproof system  
extension hose is available from your  
Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts  
Department as an optional extra.

Installation and connection  
Connection to the drainage  
system  
Drain hose connection:  
1. Direct into a sink.  
The machine drains via a drain pump  
with a delivery head of 1 metre.  
The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It 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.  
Please note the following  
– 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 sucked 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 metres. The  
accessories required can be  
purchased from the Miele Spare Parts  
Dept.  
For draining the water away with a  
delivery head over 1 metre (and up to a  
max. of 1.8 metres) a 2nd "Duo-drain  
pump" is available together with the  
corresponding kit from your Miele  
Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
