							Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags
etc. are disposed safely and kept out of
the reach of babies and young children.
Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however,essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance or
machine. Please do not therefore
dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

							~It isessentialto read these
instructions.
This washer-dryer conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however,lead
to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the washer-dryer, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
~This washer-dryer must only be
used:
–
to wash items which are specified by
the manufacturer to be washable on
the care label.
–
to dry textiles which have been
washed in a water solution, marked
on the manufacturers wash care
label as being suitable for tumble
drying. Dry cleaning kits for
freshening up garments in a tumble
dryer are increasingly available onthe market. If using, do so at your
own risk, and follow the instructions
provided on the packaging.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
~This washer-dryer is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are supervised
whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it correctly by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~Keep children away from the washer
dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow children to
play on or near it or to play with its
controls. Supervise children whilst you
are using it.
~Older children may only use the
washer dryer if its operation has been
clearly explained to them and they are
able to use it safely, recognising the
dangers or misuse.
Warning and safety instructions

							Technical safety
~Before setting up the washer-dryer,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
~Before connecting the washer-dryer,
ensure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
~The electrical safety of this
washer-dryer 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 most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and where
there is any doubt the household wiring
system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
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. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the washer-dryer
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which the Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~In the event of a fault or for cleaning
purposes, the washer-dryer is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
–it is switched off at the mains, or
–the mains fuse is disconnected, 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 have been met:
– the machine is correctly plumbed in
and connected to the electricity
supply.
– if a fault has been identified, the
machine must be examined by a
competent person before further use,
and repaired if necessary.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
~If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.

							~This washer-dryer may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
~In countries where there are 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 guarantee.
~Do not make any alterations to the
washer-dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
Correct use
~Do not install your washer-dryer in
rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may
burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below freezing point.
~Before using the washer-dryer for
the first time, check that the transit bars
at the rear of the machine have been
removed (see section on Installation).
During spinning, a transit fitting which is
still in place may result in damage to
both the machine and adjacent
furniture or appliances.
~Turn off the stopcock if the machine
is to be left for any length of time (e.g.
holiday), especially if there is no floor
drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
~Flooding danger.
If hooking the drain hose into a wash
basin, check that the water can drain off
quickly enough to prevent the sink from
overflowing. Make sure the drain hose is
secure, so that the force of the water
flowing out of the hose does not
dislodge it.
~Take care to ensure that foreign
objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) do not find their way into the
machine with the laundry. These may
damage components of the machine
(e.g. suds container, drum), which in
turn can result in damage to the
laundry.
~If the correct amount of detergent is
dispensed, the machine should not
need to be descaled. If, however, you
do wish to descale the machine only
use proprietary non-corrosive descaling
agents and strictly observe the
instructions on the packaging. A Miele
descaling agent is available to order
(see Cleaning and care).

							~To prevent the risk of fire, the
following 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
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned 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 which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or 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.
~To prevent the risk of fire, the
following must not be dried in this
washer-dryer:
–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.
–items which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these
were damaged the filling could get
out with the risk of igniting in the
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-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down
phase has been completed.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
~Warning: Do not switch the
washer-dryer off before the end of a
drying programme. If this was done and
the laundry was then removed immedi-
ately it could give off a great amount of
heat.
~Fabric conditioner and similar
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturers
packaging.
Warning and safety instructions
9
 
						

							~Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in a domestic washing machine. Always
observe the manufacturers instructions
carefully.
~Colour run and dye removers
contain sulphur compounds which can
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
~Make sure that any dispensing balls
etc. are removed from laundry before
the drying programme. These
dispensers can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the
machine and the laundry. Do not use
liquid dispenser balls or similar if you
are planning to wash and then dry in
one continuous sequence.
~Textiles which have been pre-treated
in solvent based cleaning agents must
be thoroughly rinsed in clean water
before being washed in the
washer-dryer.
~Never use solvent based cleaning
agents, e.g. those containing benzene,
in this machine, as this may result in
damage to component parts and create
toxic fumes. Such agents also pose a
fire and explosion hazard.
~Take care, the metal cap is hot
after drying.
Open the door wide after the drying
cycle. Do not touch the metal cap
located on the inside of the door glass.
It will still be hot and could cause a
burn.
Accessories
~Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele. If
other parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims will be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
