Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human 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
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
Warning and Safety instructions
6
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
personal 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 of the appliance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the washer-dryer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, and connected load)
match the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with current local and national safety
regulations.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and
regularly tested. If in any doubt, have the electrical installation
inspected by a qualified electrician.
Miele 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 a multi-socket adapter, extension lead or similar. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the machine (fire hazard due to the
risk of overheating).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs
should only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the
warranty.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
The electrical plug must be easily accessible after installation so
that the washer-dryer can be disconnected from the electricity
supply if necessary.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the washer-dryer
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- switched off at the wall socket and the power plug is withdrawn
from the socket
- the mains circuit breaker has been switched off, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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
electricity supply.
- If a fault or damage has been identified, the washer-dryer must be
repaired by a competent person before further use.
The machine must only be connected to the on-site water supply
using a new hose kit. Old hose kits must not be re-used. Check the
condition of the hoses regularly so that you can replace them in
good time and avoid the risk of any water damage.
The water inlet pressure must be at least 100kPa and must not
exceed 1000kPa.
Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele original spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
This washer-dryer must not be operated in mobile installations
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the washer-dryer, unless
authorised to do so by Miele.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
The manufacturer’s warranty will be invalidated if the washer-dryer
is not repaired by a service technician authorised by Miele.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials. To avoid the possible
danger of fire, please read these warnings carefully.
Do not install the washer-dryer in rooms that are subject to frost.
Frozen hoses may burst or split, and 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 appliance have been removed (see
“Installation - Removing the transit bars”). During the spin cycle, a
transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to the washer-
dryer and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the tap if the washer-dryer is to be left for a longer period
of time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain
(gully) in the immediate vicinity.
Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin,
check that the water can drain away fast enough to prevent the sink
from overflowing. Secure the drain hose against slipping. The force
of the water flowing out of the hose can dislodge it.
Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may
damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum).
Damaged components can, in turn, result in damage to the laundry.
Take care to remove any detergent dispensing aids (e.g. detergent
balls) before drying the laundry. These can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washer-dryer
should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale
your washer-dryer, only use special non-corrosive descaling agents.
These are available from Miele. Strictly observe the instructions on
the packaging.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles 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 are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such
as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been
thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might ignite when
heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the
end of the programme.
- Items that have been soiled with flammable substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,
waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
- 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must never be
dried in this washer-dryer:
- 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.
- Fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If
these were damaged the filling could come out with the risk of
igniting in the dryer.
Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic washer-dryer, and only use them in domestic
quantities. Always observe the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Dye removers contain sulphur compounds which can cause
damage such as corrosion. Do not use dye removers 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 reduces the risk of the laundry self-
igniting). The programme is not finished until after the cooling down
phase. It is advisable to remove all laundry as soon as the
programme has finished.
Do not switch the washer-dryer off before the end of the drying
programme, unless all items are removed immediately and spread
out to cool down.
This washer-dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket,
e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device. There is a risk of the
laundry igniting itself if a drying programme is cancelled before the
cooling phase has finished.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Fabrics that have been pre-treated in solvent-based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being placed
in the machine.
Never use solvent based cleaning agents (e.g. one containing
benzine) in this washer-dryer. This may result in damage to
component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!
If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out
immediately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has
accidentally been ingested seek medical advice immediately. People
with damaged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with the
detergent.
The maximum dry laundry weight is 8.0 kg for washing and 4.0 kg
for drying. See the “Programme chart” for the maximum
recommended loads for individual programmes.
Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate in and around the tumble
dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or hair care products, are placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
machine. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum 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.

Environmentally friendly washing and drying
22
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
consumption generally have a longer
programme 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 ECO40-60
programme has a longer programme
running time than the Cottons 40°C
or 60°C programme. The ECO40-60
programme, however, is more
efficient in terms of energy and water
consumption.
- Use the Express programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature
settings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the
machine, carry out a hot wash (above
60°C) at regular intervals. The
indicator light lights up in the
control panel and appears in the
time display of the washer-dryer to
remind you.
Detergent
- Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
- Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
- Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (e.g. reduce the amount
of detergent by ⅓ when washing a
half load).
Information about subsequent
tumble drying
To save energy when tumble drying,
select the highest possible spin speed
for the wash programme and for the
thermospin.
Washing
23
1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to components in
the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Useful tip: Dark textiles often contain
excess dye and should be washed
separately several times before being
included in a mixed load. Wash light
and dark coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Useful tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg,
coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using
some handy tricks which can be found
under the "ABC of Stains" on the Miele

Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) do not come into contact
with 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 lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
- Wash light and coloured items
separately.
- Remove or sew in any loose
underwiring in bras or shirt collar
stiffeners.
- Close any zips, attach velcro
fasteners, fasten hooks and eyes etc.
before washing.
- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash items which are specified
by the manufacturer as not washable
on the care label (symbol).

2. Loading the drum
Opening the door
Reach under the door grip and pull
the door open.
Check the drum for pets or foreign
objects before loading it with
laundry.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely in
the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives
better wash results and helps distribute
the load evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this reduces cleaning efficiency and
causes creasing.
Useful tip: Please note the maximum
load size for different wash
programmes.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

4. Adding detergent
Detergent can be dispensed via the
detergent dispenser drawer or via
CapDosing.
Detergent dispenser drawer
Any detergent suitable for automatic
front loading washing machines can be
used with this appliance. Please
observe the instructions for use and
dosage on the detergent packaging.
Adding detergent
Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer and add detergents to the
compartments.
Detergent for the main wash
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or
capsules
Adding fabric softener
Add the fabric softener or the liquid
starch to the compartment. Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
This will be automatically dispensed in
the final rinse. At the end of the wash
programme a small amount of water
remains in the compartment.
Starch can make the siphon tube
sticky. If starching frequently,
thoroughly clean the detergent
drawer, especially the siphon,
regularly.
Washing
28
Tips on dosing
Adjust the detergent dosage to the level
of soiling of the laundry and the size of
the load. Reduce the amount of
detergent 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 getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
- a possible build-up of mould in the
washer-dryer.
- grease not being completely removed
from the laundry.
- possible limescale deposits on the
heater elements.
Too much detergent results in:
- poor wash, rinse, and spin results.
- a higher water consumption as an
extra rinse cycle is automatically
activated.
- a greater burden on the environment.
See "Washing - Detergent" for further
information about detergents and how
much to dispense.
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
dispenser drawer.
Washing
29
CapDosing
CapDosing can only be activated via
the Miele@mobile App.
Three different types of capsules are
available:
= Fabric care (e.g. fabric
softener, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g. detergent
enhancers)
= Detergent (for the main wash
only)
Each capsule contains the correct
amount for one wash cycle.
Caps are available from
shop.miele.com, by contacting Miele
directly, or at a Miele Experience
Centre.
Capsules pose a health risk.
The ingredients of capsules can be
hazardous to health if they are
swallowed or come into contact with
skin.
Keep capsules out of the reach of
children.
Inserting a capsule
Open the detergent dispenser drawer.
Open the lid of the /
compartment.
Press the capsule in firmly.
Washing
30
Close the lid and press it firmly shut.
Close the detergent dispenser
drawer.
The capsule is opened by the act of
inserting it in the detergent dispenser
drawer. The contents can run out of
the capsule if you then remove it
from the detergent drawer before it is
used.
In this case, dispose of the capsule
and do not re-use it.
The wash programme will dispense the
contents of the capsule at the correct
time.
When using CapDosing, water intake
to the compartment takes place
solely via the capsule.
When using capsules, do not add
fabric softener to the
compartment.
Remove the empty capsule at the
end of the wash programme.
For technical reasons, a small amount
of water will remain in the capsule.

any small articles, e.g. buttons, which
might be lodged there.
Useful tip: For safety reasons, close the
door when the machine is not in use.
Otherwise there is a danger of objects
being placed inadvertently in the drum.
If these remain unnoticed and were
washed in the next load, they could
damage the laundry. An open door is
also a danger to pets and children.
If applicable, remove the used
capsule from the detergent dispenser
drawer.
Useful tip: Leave the detergent
dispenser drawer slightly open to allow
it to dry.
Spin cycle
Final spin speed in wash
programmes
When a programme is selected, the

Separate drying
The separate drying programme
should be run 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.
1. Preparing the laundry
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry according to type of
fibre/weave, size, garment care label
symbol, and the drying level required.
This will help you to achieve an even
drying result.
Before drying, check the drying
symbol on the care label.
If there is no care label, the article
should only be tumble dried in a
programme 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 30 seconds after washing.
- Woollens and wool blends are
susceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
programme for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the
fabric may otherwise become rough.
- Loopknit garments (e.g. T-Shirts,
underwear) have a tendency to shrink
after the first wash. Do not overdry
these fabrics to prevent further
shrinking. When buying loopknit
garments, it is advisable to take their
shrinkage potential into account.
- 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
Programme 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.
Drying

textiles and affects drying results.
Observe the maximum loads listed in
the Programme chart.
Closing the door
Make sure that no items are caught
between the door and the seal.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
Detergent dispensing aids, e.g.

Installation surface
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.
Please note:
The washer-dryer must be level and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning
the washer-dryer must not be
installed on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor,
please note:
Check for the presence of pipes and
cables first.
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.
Useful tip: If possible, install the
washer-dryer in a corner of the room, as
this is usually the most stable part of
the floor.
Carrying the washer-dryer to
its installation site
Danger of injury due to
unsecured lid.
Make sure the fixings at the back of
the lid are secure. They may become
brittle due to external circumstances.
There is a danger of the lid being
pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the machine, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the

blocked. The water inside the suds
container is pumped out.
- Overflow protection
This prevents the machine from
taking in too much water and
overflowing. 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
ventilation system which prevents the
machine from being emptied
completely.

Water intake
Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the water used must
correspond to the drinking water
specification of the country in which
the appliance is being operated.
Always connect the appliance to
potable water.
The washer-dryer must be connected to
a mains water supply in accordance
with current local and national safety
regulations.
The water inlet pressure must be at
least 100kPa and must not exceed an
overpressure of 1000kPa. If the
pressure exceeds 1000kPa, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a water tap with a
¾" threaded union. If no tap 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 turn on the tap slowly
and check for leaks. Correct the
position 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 7,000kPa should you ever need a
replacement.
The dirt filter in the union nut at the
open end of the water inlet hose
protects the water intake valve.
This filter must not be removed.
Hose extension
Longer hoses 2.5m or 4.0m in length
are available from Miele as optional
accessories.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
81
Drainage
The suds are drained through a drain
pump with a 1m delivery head. For the
water to drain freely, the hose must be
installed free of kinks. The elbow piece
supplied hooks onto the end of the
hose. If required, the hose can be
extended to a length of up to 5m. The
necessary parts can be purchased from
Miele.
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. In this
case the hose can be extended to a
maximum of 2.5m. The necessary
parts can be purchased from Miele.
Drain hose connection options
1. Directed into a sink or basin.
Please note:
– Hook the hose over the edge and
secure it.
– 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 siphon).
3. Connected securely to a floor drain
(gully).
4. Connected securely to a standpipe.

Electrical connection
The washer-dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a 230V electricity
supply. The voltage, rated load and plug
rating are given on the data plate.
Please ensure these match the
household mains supply.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the washer-dryer has been
installed. If the switch is not accessible
after installation an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the washer-dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket
adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person, in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30mA. Ensure power is
not supplied to the appliance until after
the installation has been completed.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket.
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from Miele) in order to avoid a
hazard. For safety reasons, such
replacement may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
technician or by Miele.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating. Compare the
specifications on the data plate with
those of the mains electricity supply.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with
a self-sufficient or non-mains
synchronous energy supply system
(e.g. isolated networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A requirement for
the operation is that the energy supply
system complies with all current local
and national requirements that apply to
stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems”.
The protective measures provided in
the domestic installation and in this
Miele product must also be assured in
their function and operation in isolated
operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent
measures in the installation.
The machine must not be used with so-
called energy-saving devices either.
These reduce the amount of energy
supplied to the machine, causing it to
overheat.
