3.3 Water Connection

Connect the supplied fill hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" thread. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks. Position the drain hose into a suitable drain or standpipe, ensuring it is securely fixed and allows for proper drainage.

3.4 Electrical Connection

Plug the power cable into a properly earthed electrical socket. Ensure the socket is easily accessible.

3.5 Initial Use

Before the first wash, run an empty wash cycle at 60°C without laundry but with a small amount of detergent to clean the drum and remove any manufacturing residues.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Control Panel

The appliance features a button-type control panel for selecting programs and options. The display provides information on the selected program, remaining time, and status.

4.2 Loading Laundry

Open the front loading door and place laundry loosely into the stainless steel drum. Do not overload the machine. The maximum washing capacity is 3 kg. For drying, the capacity is typically lower, around 2.5 kg, to ensure effective drying.

4.3 Detergent Dispenser

Add the appropriate amount of detergent and fabric softener to the designated compartments in the dispenser drawer. Refer to detergent packaging for dosage recommendations.

4.4 Program Selection

Turn the program selector or press the relevant buttons to choose your desired wash or dry program. Available wash and dry cycles include:

• Sanitary: For heavily soiled items requiring high temperatures.
• Active Steam: For refreshing clothes and reducing creases.
• Quick Wash: For lightly soiled items requiring a fast cycle.

The machine offers 3 wash cycles, 3 dry cycles, and 3 option cycles.

4.5 Starting a Program

After selecting the program and options, press the Start button. The machine will begin the cycle. The operating mode is automatic.

4.6 Child Lock

To activate the child lock, refer to the specific instructions in the full manual. This feature prevents accidental program changes or starting by children.

4.7 Combined Wash and Dry Function

The appliance can perform a continuous wash and dry cycle. Select the appropriate combined program. Ensure the load size is suitable for drying (e.g., 2.5 kg) when using this function.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.2 Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser

Regularly remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent residue buildup.

5.3 Fluff Filter

Unlike some traditional dryers, this washer dryer does not have a removable fluff filter that needs manual cleaning. Instead, it uses a 7-minute 'fluff program' to flush lint into the drain system. Run this program periodically, especially after drying cycles, to ensure efficient operation and prevent lint buildup.

5.4 Drum Cleaning

Periodically run a maintenance wash cycle at a high temperature (e.g., 90°C) with a suitable drum cleaner to prevent odors and maintain hygiene.

6. Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer service, please check the following common issues:

• Appliance not starting: Ensure the power cable is securely plugged in and the door is properly closed. Check the circuit breaker.
• No water intake: Check if the water tap is open and the water inlet hose is not kinked.
• Poor wash results: Ensure correct detergent dosage and program selection. Do not overload the machine.
• Poor drying results: Ensure the load size is appropriate for drying. Check if the fluff program has been run recently.
• Unusual noise/vibration: Ensure the appliance is level and stable. Check for foreign objects in the drum.

If the problem persists, refer to the comprehensive troubleshooting guide in the full user manual or contact Miele customer support.
