Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
~
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection
~
data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
~
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
~
an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
~
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure
current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
~
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
~
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
~
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless
~
authorised to do so by Miele.
Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
~
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is
condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through
the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating
drying air takes place.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do
not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any
length of time before it is put into operation provided it has been
transported correctly (see "Installation").
However, if it has not been transported as described, ensure that
the recommended standing time prior to first operation is
observed. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
~
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
~
in this appliance:
– 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
deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
these might self-ignite when heated, even after they have been
removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.
– items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– 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
additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.
Remove all items such as lighters and matches from pockets.
~
Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying
~
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung
up or spread out to cool it down.

Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:
~
– items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g.
professional dry-cleaning agents).
– 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.
– damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of
igniting in the 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.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
~
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
~
tumble dryer to tip up.
Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the
~
danger of:
– children climbing into the dryer or hiding things in it.
– pets or other small animals climbing into it.

Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must not be used:
~
– without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in
any way.
– without the fine filters in place of if the fine filters are damaged in
any way.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.
After every cycle remove fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.
~
The fluff filters and the fine filters must be thoroughly dried after
~
cleaning. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
~
frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble
dryer may not be able to operate properly. There is a risk of damage
if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and in the
drain hose.
If the water is drained externally instead of being collected in the
~
condensed water container, make sure the drain hose is securely
attached if you hang it in a sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping
and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health
~
problems in both people and animals.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
~
fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the
heat exchanger unit over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.

Do not iron
Make sure you select a suitable
programme. If in doubt, divide the
garments into smaller loads and
select the Gentle tumble extra
option.
Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum
recommended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Never overload
the drum.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– 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 or even
plastic components in the dryer.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin fabrics for at least
30 seconds before drying.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– Use the Automatic plus programme
for drying mixed loads of cottons and
minimum iron fabrics.

Transporting the dryer
When moving the dryer, hold it by the
lid where it protrudes to the rear. To
manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing
case to its installation site you will also
need to hold it by the front feet.
,Only transport the dryer as
shown in the following illustrations.
,If the tumble dryer has not been
transported as described, then it
must be left to stand for at least 1
hour before it is connected to the
electricity supply. Otherwise the
heat pump can be damaged.

Levelling the tumble dryer
,Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
– The dryer can be pushed under a
worktop if there is space to do this.
– The appliance lid cannot be
removed.
To prevent problems or an
unnecessary increase in programme
duration:
The dryer must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
,The cool air intake panel at the
front of the dryer must not be
blocked or covered, e.g. by a
laundry basket.
,The warm air which is expelled
from the rear of the dryer must be
able to dissipate.
^ The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
,Do not block the gap between
the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep
pile carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.

Installation and connection
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
around the pump. This water can run
out if the dryer is tipped up when it is
being moved. It is a good idea to run
the Warm air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
it. Any remaining condensed water will
then be fed into the condensed water
container or out through the drain hose.
Washer-dryer stack
The tumble dryer can also be
combined with a Miele washing
machine in a washer-dryer stack. The
appropriate "WTV" stacking kit * to
match your dryer is required.
* Miele accessory available to order
,Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.

^ There will be a small amount of
residual water in the drain hose.
Have a container ready to collect
this.
General notes
When drying is in progress, condensed
water is pumped into the condensed
water container through the drain hose at
the back of the dryer. The condensed
water can also be drained off directly if
the tumble dryer is installed near a sink,
drain outlet etc. so that the condensed
water container does not have to be
emptied.
Drain hose length . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.50 m
Maximum delivery head . . . . . . . 1.50 m
Maximum drain hose length . . . . 4.00 m
^ Pull the hose off its connection (see
arrow).
,If the on-site water drainage
system is not fitted with a non-return
valve or an appropriate air gap, one
must be fitted to prevent the risk of
back-flow. (See "Installation conditions
requiring a non-return valve").
^ Allow any residual water to run into
the container.
^ Unwind the hose and pull it carefully
out of the holders.
The following optional accessories are
available:
– an extension hose
– a non-return valve kit for connection
to an external condensed water
outlet (includes an extension hose).
Maximum delivery head with
non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m
Arranging the drain hose
,Do not pull on the drain hose and
do not stretch it or allow it to become
kinked as it could get damaged.
^ Position the hose to the right or left
hand side as necessary.
Leave the hose in the middle holder to
prevent it from becoming kinked
inadvertently.

Installation and connection
External drainage via a sink or gully
Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet
^ See "Front view" illustration.
The drain hose with non-return valve
fitted can be connected directly to a
suitable sink drain outlet.
,If you want to drain the water off
into a sink you will need to secure
the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to
a tap to make sure it cannot slip
during use. Otherwise there is a risk
of overflowing water which could
cause damage.
^ Use the bow-shaped guide to
prevent the drain hose from
becoming kinked.
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
,Certain installation conditions
require the fitting of a non-return
valve for external water
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the top:
connection (available as an
optional accessory). A non-return
valve will prevent the risk of
back-flow out of the dryer which
could cause damage.
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
A non-return valve is required:
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
sink drain outlet (see the following
section).
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
drainage system already in use by
another appliance, e.g. a dishwasher
or washing machine.

Installation and connection
^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet
using nut 2.
If this nut has a flat disc in it you
should take the disc out first.
^ Attach the end of hose 4 to adapter
1.
^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose
clip 3 up close to the nut.
,Non-return valve 5 has to be
fitted with the arrow pointing in the
direction of flow (i.e. towards the
sink). Otherwise water will not drain
out of the appliance.
