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
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
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.
Correct application
This washer-dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar residential environments, by guests in hotel or motel rooms,
bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not
include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within
hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.
This washer-dryer is intended 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
All other types of use are not permitted. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
The washer-dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Technical safety
Before installation check the washer-dryer for visible signs of
damage. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
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.
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”.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
This washer-dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This lamp must only
be used for the purpose for which it is intended. The lamp is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a qualified electrician or a Miele authorised technician.
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).
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
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
12
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
13
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.
Be careful when opening the door following use of the steam
function. There is a 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 dissipated.
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
14
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
15
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
16
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
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.

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
ECO 40-60programme has a longer
running time than the Cottons40°C or
60°C programme. The ECO 40-60
programme, however, 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
settings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the
machine, carry out a hot wash (above
60°C) at regular intervals. The
message Hygiene info: Select
"Maintenance" and start the "Clean
machine" programme. will appear in the
display 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
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
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

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
website.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents.
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).

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: The maximum load size for
the programme selected will appear in
the pull-down menu.

5. Adding detergent
Detergent can be dispensed via
TwinDos, via the detergent dispenser
drawer or with CapDosing.
TwinDos
The washer-dryer has the TwinDos
system.
TwinDos must be activated (see
“Before the first use”).
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 washing result,
these two agents are dispensed at
separate times during the wash
process. UltraPhase1 and UltraPhase2
clean white and coloured fabrics
thoroughly. UltraPhase1 and
UltraPhase2 single-use cartridges are
available from shop.miele.com or from
Miele Experience centres.
Activating TwinDos dispensing
TwinDos dispensing is automatically
activated for all programmes in which
dispensing is possible.
Useful tip: The detergent dispensing
quantities are preset. If too much foam
builds up, the dispensing quantity can
be reduced via the Settings menu,
Programme sequence, TwinDos.
Changing TwinDos dispensing
You can change the suggested colour
composition of the laundry.
Touch the TwinDossensor and select
the colour composition of your
laundry.
Deactivating TwinDos dispensing
Touch the TwinDossensor.
Touch the Offsensor.
Washing

Selecting the degree of soiling
The level of soiling in laundry is divided
into three settings:
- Light
No visible soiling or stains
- Normal
Visibly soiled and/or just a few slight
stains
- Heavy
Heavily soiled and/or stains clearly
visible
The dispensing amount for TwinDos
and the amount of water required for
rinsing is preset for the Normal level
of soiling.
Touch the TwinDossensor to select a
different level of soiling.
The amount of detergent and water will
be adjusted to suit the selected level of
soiling.
Some programmes will not let you set
the level of soiling. These programmes
are designed for lightly 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
activating CapDosing
- Add the stain remover to the
compartment in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Washing
38
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.
Ensure that TwinDos dispensing is
deactivated.
Adding detergent
Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer and add detergents to the
compartments.
Detergent for the pre-wash
Detergent for the main wash and
soaking
Fabric softener, liquid starch, or
capsules
Using liquid detergent with a pre-
wash
Liquid detergent cannot be used for the
main wash if the pre-wash has been
selected.
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
dispenser drawer.
Washing
39
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.
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.
Washing
40
CapDosing
If you selected CapDosing when setting
the programme, detergent will be
dispensed via the capsule for this wash
programme.
Only one capsule can be selected per
wash programme.
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.

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.

of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate.
The programme sequences outlined are
based on the standard programme with
a full load.
The washer-dryer's display continually
shows which stage of the programme
has been reached.
Special features in the programme
sequence
Anti-crease
At the end of the programme, the drum
continues to turn at intervals for up to
30 minutes to help prevent creasing.
Exception: There is no Anti-crease
phase in the Woollens and Silks
programme.
The drum door can be opened at any

PowerWash
PowerWash is a washing technique
developed 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 the amount of
energy used.
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 ECO 40-60 or Cottons
programmes
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 moisture penetration.
The optimum water level is set at the
end of the drenching phase. If
necessary, 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
54
Extras
You can supplement the wash
programmes with Extras.
Not all Extras can be selected with
every programme.
Selecting Extras
Touch the Extras sensor.
Select one or more Extras.
Not all Extras can be combined.
Extras that cannot be combined are
greyed out and cannot be selected.
Confirm with the OK sensor.
The display will change to the standard
menu for that wash programme.
SingleWash
For efficiently washing a very small load
(<1kg) in a normal wash programme.
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
reduced. 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. For optimal
smoothing reduce the maximum load
by 50%. Small loads achieve a better
result.
The garments must be suitable for
drying in a tumble dryer and
suitable for ironing .
The spin speed is reduced for some
programmes.
Quick
For light soiling with no visible staining.
The duration of the main wash is
reduced.
Water plus
The water level in the main wash and
the rinse cycles is 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
55
Soak
For heavily soiled fabrics 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 30
minutes.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is
increased through more intense
mechanical action and the application
of more heat energy.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where high
standards of hygiene are required. More
energy is used to lengthen the
temperature holding times. More water
is used to increase rinsing efficiency.
The items must be suitable 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
duration is longer.
Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun after the final
rinse and remains in the rinse water.
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 additional rinse cycle can be
activated to achieve a particularly good
rinse result.
Washing
56
Detergent
Any detergent suitable for automatic
front loading washing machines can be
used with this appliance. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions and dosage
recommendations on the packaging.
The amount to dispense 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
hardness 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
specified on the packaging. First add
detergent and then the water softener.
You can then use the recommended
amount of detergent for water hardness
level I.

Detergent dispensing aids
Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent,
particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent, buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps
reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric softeners, liquid starch, starch
Fabric softeners make garments soft to
handle and help prevent static cling
when tumble drying.
Fabric shapers are synthetic starches
and give an even stiffer hold.
Starch stiffens and gives body to fabric.

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.

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.
plastic dispenser balls, can melt
during the drying programme and
cause damage to the machine and
the laundry.
These dispensing aids must be
removed from the laundry before

Spinning sounds during
the drying process.
This is not a fault. The machine will spin even during
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 and reduced the spin speed automatically.
Include both large and small items in the load as
this will give better distribution.
Large amounts of
detergent residue

Problem solving guide
95
An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause and remedy
White residues which
look like powder
detergent are seen on
dark textiles after
washing.
The detergent contains 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.
In the future, wash dark textiles with a detergent
which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do
not usually contain 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 addition of UltraPhase 2 during the
wash process removes stains effectively.
Use a general purpose powder detergent
containing a bleaching agent.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The
laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils,
ointments).
Use more detergent or liquid detergent with this
type of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run the Clean

assess 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
unevenly.
The laundry formed a ring during the thermospin
because 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
finish drying.
Warm laundry can feel damp.

Risk of scalding due to hot suds.
Escaping suds will be hot if laundry
has been washed at high
temperatures.
Drain the suds carefully.
Procedure for draining the machine
Remove the drain filter, though not
completely.
Place a suitable container under the
access panel, e.g. a universal oven
tray.
Slowly unscrew the filters until water
runs out. Be careful not to release too
much water at once. If the flow of
water is too strong, some water can
seep into the machine base and

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

106
Levelling the washer-dryer
The washer-dryer must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
The appliance must not be
installed behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on
the opposite side to that of the
appliance, in such a way that a full
opening of the appliance door is
restricted.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The 4 adjustable feet are used to level
the washer-dryer. All four feet are
screwed in when the appliance is
delivered.
Using the spanner supplied, turn
counter nut 2 in a clockwise direction.
Then turn counter nut 2 together 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
using the spanner supplied until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
Risk of damage from incorrectly
aligned washer-dryer.
There is a danger of the washer-
dryer moving about if the feet are not
secured.

The Miele water protection
system
The water protection system protects all
parts of the washer-dryer from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
- the inlet hose
- the electronic unit, and the drainage
and overflow protection
- the drain hose
Inlet hose
- Protects the safety valve from
bursting
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 14,000kPa.
- Protective sleeve
The inlet hose has a protective sleeve
which is made from metal braiding as
a “second skin” to protect the hose
against damage.
Electronic unit and machine housing
- Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the machine. A
float switches off the water inlet
valves. Further water intake is
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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
108
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 14,000kPa 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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
109
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.

Installation requirements
Low water pressure
If the water pressure is below 100 kPa
(1 bar), the washer-dryer will stop the
programme and a water intake fault
message will appear.
If the on-site water pressure cannot be
increased and the water pressure is
constantly low, activating this setting
will prevent the programme from being
cancelled.
Factory default setting: Low water
pressure is switched off.
Suds cooling
Additional water flows into the drum at
the end of the main wash to cool the
suds down. Hot suds can damage
plastic drainage pipes.
Suds cooling takes place when a
Cottons 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 laundry tub.
- where the drainage pipes are rated
less than 70°C.
Factory default setting: Suds cooling is
switched off.
Temperature reduction
At high altitudes water has a lower
boiling point. Miele recommends
activating the reduced temperature
setting at altitudes of 2000m or above
to prevent water from boiling. The
maximum temperature is reduced to
80°C even if a higher temperature is
selected.
Factory default setting: the reduce
temperature setting is switched off.
