G M.-Nr. 06 630 570 Caring for the environment 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 and 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. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details. 2 Contents Caring for the environment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2

Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine. Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine. Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the machine and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Correct usage 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 manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. "Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up garments in a tumble dryer are increasingly available on the market. If using, do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the packaging. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of the appliance. 6 Warning and Safety instructions The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out. The machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: ­ it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or ­ it is switched off at the mains, or ­ the mains fuse is withdrawn, or ­ the screw-out fuse is removed in countries where this is applicable The Miele "Water protection system" protects from water damage provided 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 exchanged for 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. 7 In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee. Use This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. Do not install your machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure.The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. Warning and Safety instructions Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit fittings 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. If in doubt contact the Miele Customer Service Dept. or your Miele Dealer. Textiles which have been pre-treated in solvent based cleaning agents must be thoroughly rinsed in clean water before being washed in the machine. Never use solvent based cleaning agents in this machine, as this may result in damage to component parts and create toxic fumes. Such detergents also pose a fire and explosion hazard. Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a domestic washing machine. Always observe the manufacturer's 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. Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous. 8 Warning and Safety instructions To prevent the risk of fire the following textiles must not be dried in this machine: ­ fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials. ­ items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). ­ items which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents. ­ items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances. ­ items which have been soiled with oils or residues containing grease (kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.). ­ items soiled with wax or other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths). ­ items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease or oil, e.g. workwear. Such clothing may require a heavy duty detergent to get them clean. If necessary, consult the detergent manufacturer for advice. 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. 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. Safety with children This machine 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 its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the machine. Disposal of your old machine Before discarding an old machine, switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions. 9 Guide to the machine Control panel a Start/Stop button For starting the programme selected and cancelling a programme once it has started. b Display with ­ , OK, + and Load/Detergent buttons See the following page for more details. c m button For selecting delay start and setting the time of day. d PC / Optical interface This is used by service technicians to run diagnostic checks on your machine and can also be used to update programming data in the future. e Extra option buttons with indicator lights Various extra options can be added to the programmes. f Programme selector For selecting washing and drying programmes.

The washer-dryer has a sensor which measures the amount of laundry in the drum. This determines the amount of detergent required. To allow the load size indicator to function correctly, you must first run a wash programme without any laundry and without detergent. ^ Open the stopcock. ^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in. If the washer-dryer is being switched on for the first time, the welcome screen will appear. C F èestina dansk deutsch H ^ Use the ­ and + buttons to select the language you want and confirm your selection by pressing the OK button.

Now set the minutes. After you have confirmed the minute setting, the display will change to show the reminder to remove the transport struts. The welcome screen will not appear again once a programme lasting longer than 1 hour has been completed. After a few seconds the display will change to show the screen for selecting your language. 12 Before using for the first time Reminder to remove transport struts To avoid the risk of damage, the transport struts must be removed before the washer-dryer is used for the first time. See "Installation and connection" for instructions on how to do this. Calibrating the load size sensor to zero ^ Switch the machine on. ^ Open the drum door. ^ Turn the programme selector to the Cottons position. ^ Press and hold the Load/Detergent button pressed in until the following message appears in the display: i OK Remove transport struts ^ After removing the transport struts (if this has not already been done by your fitter) press the OK button.

The machine is now ready for use. ^ Turn the programme selector to the Cottons position. ^ Press the Start/Stop button. ^ When the programme has finished, turn the programme selector to Stop and switch off the washer-dryer. The load sensor must then be calibrated to zero as you would with bathroom scales. 13 Washing and drying environmentally Energy and water consumption ­ Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load. To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. ­ Use the Automatic and Express programmes for small loads. ­ When smaller amounts of laundry are washed using the Cottons programmes, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water, time and energy used. This may mean that the programme duration is adjusted during the course of the wash programme. ­ Using the Cottons 60°C programme instead of the Cottons 95°C programme will give energy savings of between 35% and 45%. This is sufficient for most levels of soiling. For stubborn or old stains, use the Soak extra option. Detergent ­ Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. ­ Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller loads. Use the Load/Detergent button. Choosing the correct extra option (Pre-wash, Soak, Short) Select: A wash programme together with the Short extra option for light to normal soiling where there are no obvious marks. A wash programme without any extra options for normal to heavy soiling. A wash programme together with the Soak option for heavily soiled laundry. ­ Use the extra option Soak instead of Pre-wash. If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash, the same suds are used. When drying straight afterwards ­ Select a high spin speed for the wash programme, as well as for the Thermospin, if tumble drying this laundry afterwards. This saves time and energy. 14 WASHING Brief instructions The headings numbered A, B, C, . . . show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions. ^ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately. ­ Curtains: Remove lead weights first or place in a laundry bag. ­ Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in. ­ Knitted garments, trousers and jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer. ^ Empty all pockets. ­ Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing. ­ Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being trapped inside them. Do not wash any items in this machine which are specified by the manufacturer as non-machine washable on the care label. (h symbol) Separate washing A Sort the laundry ,Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. ^ Badly soiled areas, stains etc. 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! Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain removers etc. first, following the manufacturer's instructions. With particularly stubborn stains ask your dry cleaner for advice. ,Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents in this machine. 15 WASHING B Switch the machine on The interior drum lighting will come on. C Select a programme ^ Use the - or + button to highlight the programme you wish to select and confirm your selection by pressing the OK button. Wait until the display switches to show the menu for the programme selected. 40°C 900 rpm Duration: 1:00 h or Denim 40°C 900 rpm 1:00 h ^ Select the programme you want. The programme selected will appear in the display. Duration: ^ Press the Washing/Drying button repeatedly until only the Washing indicator light is lit up. The Drying indicator light must not be lit up as well as this would mean that the washing programme would be followed immediately by the drying programme. ^ You can alter the highlighted temperature with the - or + buttons. Press the OK button to confirm the temperature you want and move on to the spin speed. 30°C 900 rpm Minimum iron Further programmes: When you turn the programme selector to Further programmes, a list of these programmes will appear in the display. E Dark garments Denim Shirts H Duration 0:57 h ^ You can then alter the highlighted spin speed with the - or + buttons. 16 WASHING ^ You can select any extras options with the extra option buttons. D Load the drum ^ Press the Door button to open the drum door. The load size indicator display will appear. Load <25% B ^ Each press of the top right hand button selects the extra option in the following order: Pre-wash or Soak or no option is selected. Not all the extra options are suitable for use with every wash programme. You can only select extra options which are compatible with the basic programme being used. The Low temperature extra only applies to drying. ^ Select Delay start, if required. The display shows the amount of laundry loaded in the drum as a % (in 25% steps) of the maximum load permissible for the programme selected. ^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also 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 causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency. Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum door and seal. ^ Shut the door with a gentle swing. 17 WASHING E Add detergent The load size indicator display will be replaced with the detergent percentage display. Detergent 75% ­ High water consumption (an additional rinse cycle will automatically switch in). ­ A burden to the environment. A 40% Add slightly less than half the amount recommended . . . Add half the amount recommended . . . Add slightly more than half the amount recommended . . . Add three quarters of the amount recommended . . . Add the full amount ^ Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent to the compartments as follows: i= Detergent for the pre-wash (1/4 of the total amount recommended). This compartment is also used for starch formulations when starching separately. Detergent for the main wash including Soak 50% 60% 75% 100% You also need to take the level of soiling and water hardness into account. too little detergent results in: ­ Laundry not getting properly clean and with time it may become grey and hard to the touch. ­ Greasy particles clinging to the laundry. ­ Limescale deposits on the heater elements. too much detergent results in: ­ Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results. j= § = Fabric conditioner or liquid starch ^ Close the detergent drawer. See "Detergent" for further information. 18 WASHING F Start the programme ^ Press the flashing Start/Stop button. The estimated programme duration will count down in the display in one minute steps. During the first 10 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The programme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate. The programme sequence is also shown in the display. The washer-dryer shows you when each section of the programme is reached. The drum lighting switches off once the programme has started. G Remove the laundry when the programme has finished In the anti-crease phase after the programme has finished, the following will appear alternately in the display: Anti-crease ^ Remove the laundry. Only remove laundry from the machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury. Check that all items have been removed from the drum. Items left in the drum could discolour other items in the next wash or become discoloured themselves. Important! Always remove the laundry before switching the machine off. This is important to ensure that the load size indicator works correctly. ^ Switch the machine off with the I-On/0-Off button. See "After each washing or drying programme" for further information. After washing a full load If you have washed a full load of laundry and you wish to dry the laundry in the washer-dryer afterwards you will have to remove half the load.
