removed after the start of a programme,
the machine will always complete the
programme cycle assuming a full load
which can lead to an increase in the
programme duration shown in the
display.The door cannot be opened, if:
–the suds temperature is above a
certain temperature (see Settings
menu - Door release).

							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 theWoollensprogramme,
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 spinhas been selected
3)A third rinse is carried out if:
Without spinhas been selected

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
compartmentjof the detergent
dispenser drawer. Add liquid detergent
to this container for the main wash and
to compartmentifor the pre-wash.
