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.

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.
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 dange-
rous. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by improper
or incorrect use of the appliance.
Technical safety
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).
Warning and Safety instructions
6
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.
This machine must only be
connected to the on-site water
supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses
must not be re-used. Check the hose
regularly for signs of wear and tear.
Change in good time to avoid the risk of
leaks and subsequent damage.
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.
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
7
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 Ser-
vice 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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.

Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
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.

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 immedi-
ately 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.

show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
Separate washing
ASort the laundry
^Empty all pockets.
,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.
^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.
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

and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is

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.
High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
A burden to the environment.
^Pull out the detergent drawer and
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:

This washer-dryer has fully electronic
controls with automatic load
recognition. It takes in the right amount
of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate. This means
that programme cycles and durations
can vary.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Extra
options which can be selected have not
been taken into account.
The display shows the stage the
programme has reached.
Special features in the programme
sequences:
Anti-crease:
At the end of every programme, with
the exception of the
Woollens
programme, the drum continues to turn
at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help
prevent creasing. The door can be
opened and laundry removed at any
time during the anti-crease phase.
1) Pre-rinse: A Pre-rinse without
detergent is carried out automatically
to remove dust.
2) A third rinse is carried out if:
there is too much foam in the drum
a spin speed lower than 700 rpm has
been selected
Without spin
has been selected
3) A third rinse is carried out if:

Detergent
All modern detergents produced for
automatic washing machines are
suitable, including liquid, compact
(concentrated), tablets and special
application detergents. Use dispensing
aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied
with the detergent. Tablets are suitable
for full loads but note that it may be
impractical to reduce tablets for smaller
loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as
rapidly as others and may not be
suitable for programmes with short
durations.
Silks, woollens and knitwear containing
wool mixtures and hand-washable
garments should be washed using a
detergent specifically designed for
washing silks and woollens. Do not use
biological detergents on silk as the
enzymes may damage the silk.
Instructions for use and recommended
amounts for a full load are given on the
detergent packaging.
Liquid detergent should be dispensed
using a ball provided by the
manufacturer for programmes without a
pre-wash. Remember to take it out of
the drum before running a drying
programme!
For programmes with a pre-wash you
will need to purchase a special
container from the Miele Spare Parts
department which sits in the main wash
compartment jof the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartment ifor the pre-wash.
WASHING
29
The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
The soiling level of the laundry
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Stains and soiling clearly visible.
The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
The quantity of the laundry (add the
recommended amount of detergent).
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of detergents in hard
water areas. Dispense according to the
amount specified on the packaging.
First add detergent and then the water
softener.
Use a quantity of detergent as for soft
water.
Miele do not recommend connecting
the machine to a household water
softener.
Washing with several components
If you wash using several components
(e.g. special application detergents),
we recommend always dispensing the
agents into compartment jin the
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softeners
3. Stain remover
This way the agents are distributed
more evenly.
WASHING
30
Fabric conditioners or liquid starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
to handle and help prevent static cling
when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.
^Dispense according to the amount
specified on the packaging.
Automatic dispensing of fabric
conditioner or liquid starch to
laundry at the end of a programme
^Add the fabric conditioner or liquid
starch to compartment §.Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the
last rinse. At the end of the programme
a small amount of water remains in the
fabric conditioner compartment §.
If starching frequently, clean the
dispenser compartment and
especially the siphon tube and
conditioner channel regularly. See
"Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer". Do not add starch
formulations or viscous liquid starch
to the §compartment as it will clog
up.

cause corrosion to stainless steel
components in the machine if you
dye frequently. Always observe the
manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Separate drying
The separate drying programme
must be used 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.
^Before drying check the drying
symbol on the care label.
qDry at normal temperature
rDry at a low temperature
(select the
Low temperature
extra
option)
sDo not tumble dry
If there is no symbol, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
Cottons and minimum iron items
should be dried using the
appropriate programme.
Delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylics, should
be dried at a low temperature (select
the
Low temperature
extra option).
Tips on drying
Do not put soaking wet items into
the tumble dryer. Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can be partially
dried using the
Woollens
programme.
Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing
programme.
Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise tend to roughen. They can
be partially dried using the
Smoothing
programme.
Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality.Do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
Minimum iron fabrics and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the larger the load. This
is particulary the case with delicate
fabrics. If in doubt, reduce the load
or use the
Shirts
programme.
New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately
from light coloured garments to avoid
the danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice
versa.

DLoad the drum
^Open the drum door.
^Load the laundry loosely into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. See the
"Programme chart" in the "Drying"
section for recommended loads for
each programme. Overloading can
cause unnecessary wear and tear to the
laundry and give a disappointing drying
result.
EClose the drum door
Make sure you have removed any
detergent dispensing aids, e.g. plastic
dispenser balls, before drying. These
dispensers can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the
machine and the laundry.
Make sure that no garments are caught
between the drum door and seal.
The stopcock must be open even if you
are only using the machine for drying.
FStart the programme
^Press the flashing
Start/Stop
button.
The estimated programme duration will
appear in the display. The electronics
continually assess the residual moisture
content of the laundry and adjust the
estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme. The time
remaining will count down in one
minute steps. The programme
sequence and the drying level reached
will also be shown in the display.
The drum lighting switches off once the
programme has started.
GRemove the laundry when the

^Open the drum door.
^Remove the laundry.
Check that all items have been removed
from the drum. If items are left in the
dryer, they could be damaged by
overdrying when the dryer is next used.
Important: Always remove the laundry
before switching the machine off. This is
important to ensure that the load size
indicator works correctly the next time
the machine is used.

plug before any cleaning and
maintenance work.
Cleaning the machine
,Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaning agents.
These might damage plastic
surfaces and other components
because of the chemicals they
contain. The machine must not be
hosed down.
^Clean the casing with a mild
non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap
and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
^The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable proprietary stainless-steel
cleaning agent following the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Extra cleaning
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)
with powder detergent approx. every 6
weeks to help prevent deposits building
up in the machine. These can occur
when washing is mainly done at low
temperatures, and also lead to
unpleasant smells. If you have no
reason to wash occassionally at this
high temperature, then run a Cottons
95°C programme with detergent but no
laundry at regular intervals.
Cleaning and care

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface, being far less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle
than wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note the following points:
^The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
^To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59x52x3 cm) The base should
span several joists and be bolted to
the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
,If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spinning
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).
Installing the washer-dryer
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installlation site,
hold it by the edge of the lid where it
protrudes to the rear of the machine as
well as by the handle recesses at the
front.
Please note:
^Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit fittings
^To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.
Installation and connection
62
^Using the spanner supplied turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
^withdraw the transit bar.
^Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
^withdraw the transit bar.
Installation and connection
63
^Fit the covers on to the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
,The machine must not be moved
without the transit fittings in place.
Store them in a safe place for future
use. They must be re-fitted if the
machine is to be moved again (e.g.
when moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
Levelling the machine
The machine 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.
False values may also show in the Load
and Detergent display.
Installation and connection
64
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
^Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut 2in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut 2
together with foot 1to unscrew.
^Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
^Hold foot 1securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut 2again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.
,All four counternuts must sit
firmly up against the housing. Please
also check this for the feet which did
not need adjustment. Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about.
Building under a continous worktop /
in a kitchen run
The fitting of building under kits
must only be undertaken by
qualified and competent persons, in
accordance with the instructions
supplied with the kit.
If you wish to push your machine under
a worktop and there is space to do this
without removing the lid, the
conversion kit is not necessary.
Otherwise it is essential.
The building under conversion kit*
includes a cover plate which must be
fitted to ensure electrical safety.
When installing under a 900/910 mm
high worktop a raising kit* is
required.
Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such
a way that they remain accessible
when the machine is in place.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the
conversion kit.
All parts marked * are available from
the Miele Spare Parts Department.

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects the machine from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the electronic unit and the machine
housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.
2) 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 safety valves,
preventing any more water flowing
into the machine and water in the
suds container is pumped away.
Overflow protection
This prevents the machine taking in
too much water. If the water level
exceeds a certain level, the drain
pump switches in and pumps the
excess water away.
3) Drain hose
The drain hose is protected by a
ventilation system which prevents the
machine from being emptied
completely.
66
Installation and connection
Connection to the water supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
The German authorities do not require it
to have a non-return valve as the
machine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
reducer valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a mains stopcock
with 3/4" thread. The stopcock should
be fitted by a qualified plumber.
,The connection point is subject
to mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
The machine is not suitable for
connection to a hot water supply
and connection to a household
water softener is not recommended.
Maintenance and care
Only use a genuine Miele hose should
you ever need a replacement or
extension. These are tested to
withstand pressure of at least
7,000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
open end of the inlet hose, one at
the inlet point in the machine must
not be removed.
Extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department as
optional extras.
Installation and connection
67
Connection to the drainage
system
The machine drains via a drain pump
with a delivery head of 1 metre*. The
drain hose must not be kinked as this
restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at
the end of the hose can be turned in
either direction, or can be detached if
required, with a sharp twist and pull.
If required the drain hose can be
extended to a length of 5 m. The
necessary parts can purchased from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or
your Miele dealer.
* For a delivery head of more than 1 m
(up to a max. of 1.8 m) a second
duo-drain pump is available with the
corresponding kit from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
Drain hose connection:
1. Direct into a sink or basin.
Please note the following:
Hook the hose over the edge and
secure.
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 non-return valve.
3. Connected securely to a standpipe.
4. Connected securely to a floor gully.
