Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
It is essential to read these instructions.
This washer-dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-
sonal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the washer-
dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam-
age to the washer-dryer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the washer-dryer as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
This washer-dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
This washer-dryer is intended for use in domestic households for
the following applications only:
- washing textiles which have a care label stating that they are
washable.
- drying textiles which have been washed in water and have a care
label stating that they are suitable for tumble drying.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
Any other usage is not permitted. Miele cannot be held liable for
damage resulting from improper use or incorrect operation of the
machine.
This washer-dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
This washer-dryer can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or know-
ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the
washer-dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children eight years and older may only use the washer-dryer un-
supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog-
nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washer-
dryer unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washer-dryer and
do not let them play with it.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
Technical safety
Before setting up the washing-dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged washer-dryer.
Before connecting the washer-dryer, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electri-
cian.
The electrical safety of this washer-dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt, please have the household wiring system tested by a quali-
fied electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat
and are a fire hazard.
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 authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guar-
antee.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and the “Technical
data”.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
This washer-dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resist-
ance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not suit-
able for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a
Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service De-
partment.
The washer-dryer contains 1 light source corresponding to energy
efficiency class G.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible after installation so
that the washer-dryer can be disconnected from the electricity sup-
ply if necessary.
The washer-dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply
when cleaning and maintaining the machine and in the event of a
fault.
The Miele “Water protection system” protects from water damage
provided the following conditions are met:
- The machine is correctly plumbed in and connected to the electri-
city supply.
- If a fault or damage has been identified, the washer-dryer must be
examined by a competent person before further use, and repaired
if necessary.
The water inlet pressure must be at least 100kPa and must not
exceed 1000kPa.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can Miele guaran-
tee the safety standards of the machine.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
This 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 author-
ised to do so by Miele.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply 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 sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 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.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the washer-dryer
is not repaired by a service technician authorised by Miele.
Correct use
Do not install the washer-dryer in a room where there is a risk of
frost. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the washer-dryer have been removed (see “Install-
ation - Removing the transit bars”). During spinning, a transit bar
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, pa-
per clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry.
These may damage components of the machine (e.g. suds con-
tainer, drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
Do not leave any detergent dispensing aids, e.g. plastic dispenser
balls, in the laundry when tumble drying. These dispensers can melt
during the drying programme and cause damage to the washer-
dryer and the laundry.
Risk of burning or scalding due to hot temperatures. The metal
cap located on the inside of the door glass will be hot after drying.
Open the door wide after drying. Do not touch the metal cap.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washer-dryer
should not need to be descaled. If, however, there is large build-up
of limescale and you need to descale it, you must use a special non-
corrosive descaling agent. A suitable descaling agent is available to
order from Miele (see “Optional accessories”). Instructions on the
packaging must be strictly observed.
Take care when opening the drum door after using the steam
function. Danger of burning due to escaping steam and the high
temperature of the surface of the drum as well as the porthole glass.
Stand back away from the machine and wait until the steam has dis-
sipated.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
washed and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other depos-
its (such as cooking oil, cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not
been thoroughly washed there is a danger that these might 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 acet-
one, alcohol, benzene, 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 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 textiles must not be
tumble dried:
- Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
- Items 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 it
igniting.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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 washing machine. These must only be used in do-
mestic quantities. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
Colour run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause corrosion. Do not use these products in this washer-dryer.
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-ig-
niting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase
has been completed. As soon as the programme has finished, re-
move all laundry from the drum.
Warning: do not switch the washer-dryer off before the drying pro-
gramme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be removed
immediately and hung up or spread out to cool it down.
This washer-dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket,
e.g. a timer or electrical device with peak-load negotiation. There is a
risk of the laundry igniting itself if a drying programme is cancelled
before the cooling phase has finished.
Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being
washed in the machine.
Do not use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this washer-dryer, as this may result in damage to com-
ponent parts and create toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a fire
and explosion hazard.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
If detergent comes into contact with the eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with lukewarm water immediately. If swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately and retain the packaging or label for refer-
ence. Those with skin problems or sensitive skin should avoid their
skin coming into contact with detergent.
The maximum load for this washer-dryer is 8.0 kg (dry weight) for
washing and 5.0 kg (dry weight) for tumble drying. See the “Pro-
gramme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programmes.
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, war-
ranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
If you order a plinth for this washer-dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory), make sure it is the correct one.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your washer-dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety instructions.

It is important to calibrate the washer-
dryer to ensure optimum water and
energy usage, as well as optimum
washing and drying results.
To do this, the Cottons programme
must be run without laundry.
No other programmes can be started
until calibration has been carried out.

Energy and water consumption
- Use the maximum load size for the
current programme. The energy and
water consumption will then be the
lowest in relation to the size of the
load.
- Programmes that are more efficient
with regard to energy and water con-
sumption generally have a longer pro-
gramme running time. By extending
the programme running time, the
wash temperature that is actually
reached can be reduced while still
providing the same wash results.
For example, the
ECO 40-60programme has a longer
running time than the Cottons40°C or
60°C programme. The ECO 40-60
programme is more efficient in terms
of energy and water consumption.
- Use the Express 20programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer, carry out a hot wash
(above 60°C) at regular intervals. The
message Hygiene info: Select "Mainten-
ance" and run the "Clean machine" pro-
gramme. will appear in the display of
the washer-dryer to remind you to
carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
- For precise dispensing use automatic
detergent dispensing.
- Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
- Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer on the packaging.
When drying with a tumble
dryer
To save energy when tumble drying, se-
lect the highest possible spin speed for
the wash programme and for the
thermo-spin.
WASHING

1. Prepare the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, etc. can
cause damage to garments and
components inside the machine.
Check laundry before washing and
remove any foreign objects.
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a tex-
tile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
colours separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Stains
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc. can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that plastic parts do not come into
contact with the cleaning agent.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
If solvent-based cleaning agents are
used, an explosive mixture can form.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washer-dryer.
General tips
- Curtains: remove rollers and lead
weights or place in a laundry bag.
- Sew in or remove any loose underwir-
ing in bras.
- Close any zips, attach velcro fasten-
ers, fasten hooks and eyes, etc. be-
fore washing.
- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer as not washable
according to the symbol on the care la-
bel (symbol).

Opening the door
Reach under the recessed grip and
pull the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with laun-
dry.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives
better wash results and also helps to
distribute the load evenly during spin-
ning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water consumption is achieved when
a full load is washed. However, do not
overload as this reduces cleaning effi-
ciency and causes creasing.
Tip: The maximum load size for the pro-
gramme selected will appear in the pull-
down menu.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

tem.
TwinDos must be activated; see “Be-
fore using for the first time”.
How UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2
work
UltraPhase1 is a liquid detergent which
dissolves dirt and removes the most
common stains. UltraPhase2 is a
bleaching agent and removes stubborn
stains. For the best wash results, these
two agents are dispensed at separate
times during the washing process.
UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2 clean
white and coloured fabrics thoroughly.
UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2 single-
use cartridges are available from www
shop.miele.com or a Miele dealer.
Activating TwinDos dispensing
TwinDos dispensing is automatically ac-
tivated for all programmes in which dis-
pensing is possible.
Tip: The detergent dispensing quanti-
ties are preset. If too much foam builds
up, the dispensing quantity can be re-
duced via the Settings menu, Pro-
gramme sequence, TwinDos.

vided into 3settings:
- Light
No visible soiling or stains
- Normal
Visibly soiled and/or just a few slight
stains
- Heavy
Heavily soiled and/or stains clearly

soiled laundry only.
Using other methods to remove
stains
If you wish to use additional methods of
stain removal, you have the following
options:
- Using the Booster capsule and activ-
ating CapDosing
- Adding stain remover to the com-
partment in the detergent drawer
WASHING
37
Detergent drawer
Any detergent suitable for domestic
washing machines can be used. Please
observe the instructions for use and
dosage on the detergent packaging.
Ensure that TwinDos dispensing is
deactivated.
Adding detergent
Pull out the detergent drawer and add
detergents to the compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash
Detergent for the main wash and
soaking
Fabric conditioner, liquid starch
or capsules
Using liquid detergents with a pre-
wash
Liquid detergent cannot be used for the
main wash if the pre-wash has been se-
lected.
Use powder detergent for the main
wash.
Using detergent tablets or pods
Always put detergent tablets or pods
directly in the drum with the laundry.
They cannot be added via the detergent
drawer.
WASHING
38
Adding fabric conditioner
Add fabric conditioner or liquid starch
to the compartment. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum level mark.
This will be automatically dispensed in
the final rinse cycle. At the end of the
wash programme a small amount of
water remains in the compartment.
If starching frequently, thoroughly
clean the detergent drawer, espe-
cially the siphon, regularly.
Tips on dispensing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the de-
gree of soiling of the laundry and the
load size. Reduce the amount of deter-
gent with smaller load sizes (e.g. reduce
the amount of detergent by ¹⁄₃ when
washing a half load).
Too little detergent:
- Results in laundry not being cleaned
properly and may cause it to become
grey and hard to the touch over time
- Can lead to a build-up of mould in
the washer-dryer
- Results in grease not being com-
pletely removed from the laundry
- Can lead to limescale deposits on the
heater elements
Too much detergent:
- Causes poor wash, rinse and spin
results
- Causes higher water consumption as
an extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated
- Is a greater burden on the environ-
ment
See “Washing” – “Detergent” for further
information about detergents and how
much to dispense.
WASHING
39
CapDosing
If you selected CapDosing when setting
the programme, detergent will be dis-
pensed via the capsule for this wash
programme.
Only one capsule can be selected per
wash programme.

able:
= Fabric care (e.g. fabric condi-
tioner, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g. detergent en-
hancer)
= Detergent (for the main wash
only)
Each capsule contains the correct
amount for one wash cycle.
Caps are available from
www.shop.miele.com, the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department or your Miele
dealer.
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be
hazardous to health if they are swal-
lowed or come into contact with
skin.
Keep capsules out of the reach of
children.

This washer-dryer has fully electronic
controls with automatic load control. It
takes in the right amount of water re-
quired for the programme depending on
the amount of laundry and its ab-
sorbency rate.
The programme sequences outlined are
based on the standard programme with
a full load.
The washer-dryer’s display continually
shows which programme stage has
been reached.
Special features in the programme
sequence
Anti-crease:
At the end of the programme, the drum
continues to turn for up to 30minutes
to help prevent creasing.
Exception: there is no anti-crease
phase in the Woollens and Silks pro-
grammes.
The washer-dryer can be opened at any
time.

PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique de-
veloped by Miele which is activated in
the following wash programmes:
- ECO 40–60 (with small and medium
load sizes)
- Cottons (with small and medium load
sizes)
- QuickPower
- Minimum iron
- Shirts
- Automatic plus
- Delicates
How it works
Conventional washing techniques wash
with more water than the laundry can
absorb. This total volume of water
needs to be heated.
The PowerWash washing technique
only uses slightly more water than the
laundry can absorb. The water which
has not been absorbed by the laundry
heats up the drum and the laundry and
is sprayed into the laundry over and
over again. This reduces energy con-
sumption.
Activation
PowerWash is activated automatically
in the programmes listed above.
PowerWash is deactivated if:
- The selected final spin speed is less
than 600rpm
- CapDosing has been selected for the
main wash (, )
- The wash temperature is higher than
60°C
- Extras such as Pre-wash or Water
plus have been selected
- A large load size is being washed in
the Cottons programme
Special features
- Drenching phase
The washer-dryer will spin a few
times at the beginning of the wash
programme. During the spin cycle,
the water discharged is sprayed back
into the laundry in order to achieve
optimum wetting.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If neces-
sary, the machine will pump water
away and take in a little more fresh
water.
- Noises during the heating phase
Unusual bubbling noises can occur
while the laundry and the drum are
being heated.
WASHING
52
Extras
You can supplement the wash pro-
grammes with Extras.
Not all Extras can be selected with
every wash programme.
Selecting Extras
Touch the Extrassensor control.
Select one or more Extras.
Not all Extras can be combined. Ex-
tras that cannot be combined are
greyed out and cannot be selected.
Confirm with the OKsensor control.
The display will change to the standard
menu for that wash programme.
SingleWash
For efficiently washing a very small load
size (<1kg) in a normal wash pro-
gramme. The wash duration is reduced.
Please note the following advice:
- Use liquid detergent.
- Reduce the dosage to a maximum of
50% of the amount quoted for a
½load.
Extra gentle
Drum rotation and wash duration are re-
duced. Lightly soiled fabrics are
washed more gently.
Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the programme. Reducing the
maximum load size by 50% will
achieve a better result. Small load sizes
achieve a better result.
The garments must be suitable for dry-
ing in a tumble dryer and suitable
for ironing .
The spin speed is reduced for some
programmes.
Quick
For textiles with light soiling with no vis-
ible stains.
The duration of the main wash is re-
duced.
Water plus
The water level in the main wash and
the rinses will be increased. A second
rinse cycle is carried out in the Separate
rinseprogramme.
You can select other functions for the
Water plusExtra. These are described in
“Settings”.
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt,
e.g. dust and sand.
WASHING
53
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items
with protein stains.
A soak duration of between 30minutes
and 5hours in 30-minute increments
can be selected. See “Settings” for
more information.
The factory default setting is
30minutes.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is in-
creased through more intense mechan-
ical action and the application of more
heat energy.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where es-
pecially high standards of hygiene are
required. More energy is used to
lengthen the temperature holding times
and more water is used to increase rins-
ing efficiency. The items must be suit-
able for drying in a tumble dryer
and suitable for ironing.
Extra quiet
This option reduces noise levels during
the wash programme. Use this if you
want to wash during quiet periods (for
instance when children are sleeping).
The machine will activate the Rinse hold
option and not spin. The programme
running time is longer.
Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun after the final
rinse cycle and remains in the rinse wa-
ter. This helps prevent creasing if the
laundry is not going to be removed from
the drum immediately after the end of
the programme.
Extra rinse
An extra rinse can be activated to
achieve a better wash result.
WASHING
54
Detergent
All detergents produced for automatic
washing machines are suitable. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
dosage recommendations on the pack-
aging.
The dispensing quantity will depend
on:
- The degree of soiling of the laundry
- The amount of laundry
- The water hardness
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the water hard-
ness level in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in areas
with water hardness levels II and III.
Dispense according to the amount spe-
cified on the packaging. First add deter-
gent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.

Dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids, (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent, particu-
larly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps re-
duce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric conditioners, liquid starch,
starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
to handle and help prevent static cling
when tumble drying.
Liquid starch is synthetic and provides
good stiffness to fabric.
Starch stiffens and gives body to fabric.
WASHING
55
Using fabric conditioner, liquid starch
or starch separately
Prepare the starch in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Tip: When adding fabric conditioner,
activate the Water plus Extra.
Add fabric conditioner to the com-
partment or insert the appropriate
capsule.
Add liquid starch to the compart-
ment and powder or viscous starch to
the compartment.
Select the Separate rinse programme.
Change the spin speed if necessary.
If using a capsule, touch the CapDos-
ingsensor control and activate the
Cap.
Touch the Start/Stopsensor control.
Colour run and dye removers/dyes
Damage due to colour run/dye
removers.
Colour run and dye removers can
cause corrosion in the washer-dryer.
Do not use colour run or dye re-
movers in this washer-dryer.
Dyes suitable for use in domestic wash-
ing machines can be used. However,
please note that the salt used in the
dyeing process can cause corrosion to
stainless steel components in the ma-
chine if you use dye frequently. Always
follow the dye manufacturer’s instruc-
tions carefully.
When using the machine to dye fab-
ric it is essential to select the Water
plus Extra.

Separate drying
The separate drying programme
should be run if the load in the wash
programme is greater than the max-
imum load permitted for drying, or if
you only want to dry part of the load
that was washed.
1. Prepare the laundry
Sort the laundry
Sort the laundry according to type of
fibre/weave and the residual moisture
content.
This will help you achieve an even dry-
ing result.
Before drying, check the drying sym-
bol on the care label.
If there is no care label, the article
should only be tumble dried in a pro-
gramme specially designed for it.
Tips on drying
- Do not load the drum with items that
are still soaking wet. Spin the laundry
for at least 30seconds after washing.
- Woollens and wool blends are sus-
ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens pro-
gramme for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the fab-
ric may otherwise become rough.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Therefore,
do not overdry the fabrics to prevent
them from shrinking further. Buy jer-
sey garments that are one or two
sizes bigger.
- Starched laundry can be tumble
dried. To achieve the usual finish,
double the amount of starch should
be used.
- New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments. The colour
of dark garments can run or fluff from
garments of other colours may settle
on them.
- Observe the maximum loads given
for the drying programmes in the Pro-
gramme chart.
The drying result and amount of
creasing depend on the size of the
load. The smaller the load in the
dryer, the better the result. Therefore,
if you reduce the load, you will
achieve a more even drying result
with less creasing.

The thermospin spin speed can be re-
duced to 800rpm.
Extras
You can select extra options to aug-
ment drying programmes.
Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the
end of the programme. The spin speed
for the thermospin is reduced. Redu-
cing the maximum load size by 50%
will achieve a better result.
The garments must be suitable for dry-
ing in a tumble dryer and suitable
for ironing .
SingleDry
For efficiently drying a very small load
size (<1kg) in a normal drying pro-
gramme.
A drying time is preset. You can change
the drying time.
Some items may still be damp after dry-
ing, depending on the type of laundry.
Select a longer duration next time.
Gentle tumble
Delicate textiles such as acrylics are
dried gently (care label symbol).
In some programmes the programme
running time will increase when Gentle
tumble is selected because of the lower
temperature.
Extra quiet
If you want to dry clothes in quiet peri-
ods, the noise level of the washer-dryer
can be reduced.
- The buzzer is deactivated.
- Thermospin is limited to a maximum
of 800rpm.

Damage resulting from dried
laundry detergent.
If the system has not been used for a
long time (more than 2months), de-
tergent in the hoses can become vis-
cous or dry out. The hoses can be-
come blocked and would then need
to be cleaned by the Customer Ser-
vice Department.

partment interior when you change
the cartridge or container.
Cleaning and care
79
Clean machine
With frequent washing at low temperat-
ures there is a danger of a build-up of
bacteria in the washer-dryer.
Cleaning the washer-dryer will signific-
antly reduce bacteria, mould and
biofilm and prevent the build-up of un-
pleasant odours.
Start the Clean machine programme at
the latest when the Hygiene info mes-
sage appears in the display.
Tip: Optimum results can be achieved
by using Miele machine cleaner. Altern-
atively, a multi-purpose detergent can
be used.

cleaner or multi-purpose detergent
directly in the drum.
Do not load any laundry. The drum
must be empty for the cleaning pro-
cess.
Touch the Start/Stopsensor control.
The programme will start.
Rinse out fluff
During drying, fluff develops and can
collect in the drum and suds container.
You can rinse out fluff before the ma-
chine is used again so that this fluff
(e.g. from dark coloured textiles) cannot
be deposited on other items (e.g. light
coloured textiles) in the next load or
cause a blockage in the washer-dryer.
The Rinse out fluff programme must
not be used for rinsing laundry. En-
sure there are no items of laundry in
the drum before starting the pro-
gramme.

trol panel
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The mains voltage is applied to the
washer-dryer even if it is switched
off.
Disconnect the power plug before
cleaning or maintenance.
Risk of damage due to ingress of
water.
The pressure of a water jet can
cause water to get into the washer-
dryer, resulting in damage to com-
ponents.
Do not spray the washer-dryer with a
water jet.
Damage caused by cleaning
agents.
Solvent-based cleaning agents, ab-
rasive cleaners, glass cleaners or
multi-purpose cleaning agents can
cause damage to plastic surfaces
and other parts.
Do not use these cleaning agents.
Clean the casing and control panel
with a mild cleaning agent or soap
and water and dry both with a soft
cloth.
The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable stainless steel cleaning
agent.
Cleaning the detergent dis-
penser drawer
Washing at low temperatures and the
use of liquid detergent can lead to a
build-up of mould and bacteria in the
detergent dispenser drawer.
Clean the entire drawer at regular in-
tervals for hygiene reasons, even if
you are using the TwinDos system ex-
clusively.
Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press
down the release button and at the

General problems with the washer-dryer
Problem Cause and remedy
The washer-dryer is not
steady during a spin
cycle.
The machine feet are not level.
Level the washer-dryer and secure the feet.
Unusual pumping
noises.
This is not a fault. These slurping noises occur at
the end of the pump sequence as a normal part of
operation.
Spinning sounds during
the drying process.
This is not a fault. The machine will spin, even dur-
ing a drying programme (thermospin).
The laundry has not
been spun properly and
the laundry is still wet.
The machine detected an imbalance during the final
spin cycle and reduced the spin speed automatically.
Include both large and small items in the load as
this will give better distribution during spinning.
Large amounts of deter-
gent residue remain in
the detergent drawer.
The water flow pressure is too low.
Clean the filters in the water inlet.
Select Water plus.
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water
softeners tends to become sticky.

An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Cause and remedy
White residues which
look like powder deter-
gent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid
water softening which are not soluble in water. These
have ended up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which con-
tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments programme.
Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching
agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea
stains.
Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted addi-
tion of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process re-
moves stains effectively.
Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-
ing a bleaching agent.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.

Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Cause and remedy
The laundry is too damp
after drying and
Check load appears in the
display.
The load is too small. The electronics could not as-
sess the residual moisture correctly.
Start the programme again and instead of a drying
level select a Timed drying programme.
In the future use a Timed drying programme for
small amounts of laundry.
During the spin cycle, the laundry formed a ring in
the drum because the laundry was distributed un-
evenly.
The laundry formed a ring during the thermospin be-
cause it was too damp or because the spin speed
was set too high.
Open the door and loosen the laundry.
Start the drying programme again with a lower
spin speed, or select Timed drying instead of a
drying level.
The laundry feels damp
after drying.
The Pre-ironing Extra was selected.
Unload the laundry and place it on hangers to fin-
ish drying.
Warm laundry can feel damp.
Spread the laundry out to cool it down.
The laundry is too damp
or too dry after a drying
cycle.
The desired residual moisture level is between two
drying stages.
Change the level of drying as described in “Set-
tings”, “Drying levels”.
There is still water in
the drum after drying.
There is a blockage in the water outlet.
Clean the drain filters and the drain pumps as de-
scribed in “Opening the door in the event of a
blocked drain outlet and/or power failure” and
check the height of the drainage point.

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface. It is far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted sur-
face.
Please note:
The washer-dryer must be level and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the washer-dryer must not be in-
stalled on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor,
please note:
Use a plywood base underneath the
washer-dryer (at least
59x52x3cm). 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 usu-
ally the most stable part of the floor.
Danger of injury due to unse-
cured washer-dryer.
If the washer-dryer is installed on an
existing on-site plinth (concrete or
brick), there is a danger of the ma-
chine falling off the plinth during the
spin cycle.
Secure the washer-dryer with a
fastening bracket (optional access-
ory).
Carrying the washer-dryer to
its installation site
Danger of injury due to unse-
cured 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 pro-
trudes 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.

Danger of injury from sharp
edges.
There is a danger of injury from
reaching into holes that are not
covered.
Cover the holes for the transit bars
after they have been removed.
Push the covers in firmly until they
engage in position.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
102
Refitting the transit bars
Risk of damage from incorrect
transport.
The washer-dryer may become dam-
aged 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 in-
stalled/dismantled by a specialist.
- A special building under kit* is re-
quired. 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 installa-
tion instructions.

103
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 elec-
tricity 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 sup-
plied with all feet screwed in.
Using the open spanner supplied,
turn counter nut 2 in a clockwise dir-
ection. Then turn counter nut 2 to-
gether 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 us-
ing 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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
104
The water protection system
The Miele water protection system pro-
tects all parts of the washer-dryer from
water damage.
The system mainly consists of the fol-
lowing components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit and drainage and
overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protects the safety valve from burst-
ing
The inlet hose can withstand pres-
sure greater than 14,000kPa.
- 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 over-
flowing. 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 ventila-
tion system which prevents the washer-
dryer from being emptied completely.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
105
Water intake
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the machine is being oper-
ated.
Always connect the washing ma-
chine 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 100kPa and must not exceed an
overpressure of 1000kPa. If the pres-
sure exceeds 1000kPa, a pressure re-
ducing 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 pos-
ition 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 14,000kPa 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 1.5metre long metal extension hose
is available from Miele as an optional
accessory.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
106
Water drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m 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 re-
quired, the hose can be extended to a
length of up to 5m. Accessories are
available from Miele or from your Miele
dealer.
For a delivery head of more than 1m
(up to a max. of 1.8m) a replacement
drain pump will need to be fitted.
Please contact Miele for advice. With a
delivery head in excess of 1m the hose
can be extended to a maximum of
2.5m. 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).

107
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 in-
stalled. 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 exten-
sion lead can overload the cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension lead or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK). We recommend
the use of a suitable RCD.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, 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 tech-
nician 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 con-
nection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not syn-
chronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation
is that the power supply system com-
plies with the specifications of
EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the pro-
tective measures provided in the do-
mestic 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 ex-
ample, in the current version of BS OH-
SAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.

- Reset
The setting is only visible if
Miele@home is set up.
The WiFi function is deactivated and
the WiFi connection will be reset to
the factory default.
The network configuration should be re-
set whenever a washer-dryer is being
disposed of or sold, or if a used
washer-dryer is being put into opera-
tion. This is the only way to ensure that
all personal data has been removed and
the previous owner will no longer be
able to access the washer-dryer.
A new connection setup has to be car-
ried out in order to use Miele@home
again.
Remote control
The Remote control setting is only vis-
ible if the Miele@home setting is set up
and activated.
If the Miele App has been installed on
your mobile device, you can check the
status of your washer-dryer from any-
where and start it remotely.
You can also operate your washer-
dryer remotely with the MobileStart
programme.
You can switch off the Remote control
setting if you do not want to operate the
washer-dryer with your mobile device.
If Remote control is not switched on, the
app can still be used to cancel the pro-
gramme.
Use the “Delay start”sensor to set a
time by which you want to start the
washer-dryer and start the delay start
(see “Delay start/SmartStart”).
The washer-dryer will then start within
the specified timeframe when it receives
your signal.
If it has not received a start signal by
the latest start time set, the washer-
dryer will start automatically.
Remote control is switched off in the
factory default setting.
SmartGrid
The SmartGrid setting is only visible if
the Miele@home setting is set up and
activated.
This function can be used for starting
your washer-dryer automatically at a
time when the energy tariff of your en-
ergy supplier is more economical.
Activating SmartGrid gives the Delay
start button a new function.
Set the SmartStart by using the “Delay
start”sensor (see “Delay start/
SmartStart”).
The washer-dryer will then start within
the timeframe specified when it receives
a signal from the energy supplier.
If a signal has not been received from
the energy supplier by the latest start
time set, the washer-dryer will start
automatically.
The SmartGridfunction is switched off in
the factory default setting.

Remote Update
The Remote Updatemenu option is
only displayed and can only be selec-
ted if the requirements for using
Miele@home have been met (see “Be-
fore using for the first time” –
“Miele@home”).
The RemoteUpdate function is used for
updating the software in your washer-
dryer. If an update is available for your
washer-dryer, it will automatically
download it. Updates will not be in-
stalled automatically. They must be initi-
ated manually.
If you do not install an update, you can
continue to use your washer-dryer in
the usual way. However, Miele recom-
mends installing updates.
Activating/deactivating
The RemoteUpdate function is activ-
ated as standard. Available updates will
be downloaded automatically but will
only be installed if you initiate installa-
tion manually.
Deactivate RemoteUpdate if you do not
want any updates to be downloaded
automatically.
Running a RemoteUpdate
Information about the content and
scope of an update will be provided in
the Miele app.
A message will appear in your washer-
dryer display if a software update is
available.
You can install the update immediately
or postpone this until later. When the
washer-dryer is switched on again, you
will be reminded about the update.
Deactivate RemoteUpdate if you do not
want to install the update.
The update may take several minutes.
Please note:
- You will only receive a message when
an update is available.
- Once an update has been installed, it
cannot be undone.
- Do not switch off the washer-dryer
during an update. Otherwise, the up-
date will be aborted and will not be
installed.
- Some software updates can only be
carried out by the Miele Customer
Service Department.

Installation requirements
Low water pressure
If the water pressure is too low, the
washer-dryer will stop the programme
and a water inlet fault message will
appear.
This setting can be activated to ensure
problem-free water intake where the
water pressure is constantly low.
Factory default setting: Low water pres-
sure is switched on.
Suds cooling
Additional water flows into the drum at
the end of the main wash to cool the
suds down.
Suds cooling takes place when a Cot-
tons programme with a temperature of
70°C or higher is selected.
Activate suds cooling:
- To prevent the danger of scalding if
the drain hose is hooked over the
edge of a sink or slops basin
- In buildings where the drainage pipes
do not comply with DIN1986
Factory default setting: suds cooling is
switched off.
Temperature reduction
At high altitudes, water has a lower
boiling point. Miele recommends ac-
tivating the reduced temperature set-
ting at altitudes of 2000m or above to
prevent water from boiling. The max-
imum temperature is reduced to 80°C
even if a higher temperature is selec-
ted.
Factory default setting: the reduce tem-
perature setting is switched off.
