incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!

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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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
– have been splashed with hair
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such
detergents also pose a fire and
explosion hazard.
– 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
dispensers can melt during the drying
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.
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washing machine.
Always observe the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
Using accessories
Colour run and dye removers
contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion.
Do not use these products in this
machine.
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.
Always make sure the drum is
stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a
moving drum is extremely dangerous.
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. This should be done by a
competent person.

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.

ASort the laundry
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in

– 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.

– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being rolled up
inside them.

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.

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.

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

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.
