machine.
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 instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner of the

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).
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics 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 is not
liable for damage resulting from
improper use or operation.
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
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.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine 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
machine 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 machine guarantee.

room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. Do not install the machine in
a room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the machine may not be
able to operate properly.
– 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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.
There is a risk of damage if the
condensed water is allowed to freeze in
the pump, hoses and / or condensed
water container.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C.
Operation
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.
If the water is drained externally
through the drain hose 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.
The dryer must not be used without
the fluff filters in place or if the fluff
filters are damaged in any way.
Condensed water is not drinking
water. It can cause health
problems in both people and animals.
The dryer must not be used without
condenser unit in place.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff.
The machine must not be used
without the hygiene filter in place.
Over time dust drawn into the machine
with the room air which is used to cool
the condenser unit could block the
hygiene filter and condenser unit.
Where excessive dust has collected it
may be necessary to replace the
hygiene filter more frequently than
waiting until the indicator lights up.
The fluff filters must be thoroughly
dried after cleaning. If they are
damp or wet when replaced there is a
risk of faults occurring when the
machine is used.

– fabrics which contain a large
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber like materials.
away from the machine at all times and
supervise them whilst you are using it.
Do not allow children to play on or near
it or to play with its controls. Supervise
its use by the elderly or infirm.
– items which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets).
– items which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted

machine, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be
invalidated.
– 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).
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it. Render the plug useless and
cut off the cable directly behind the
machine. This should be done by a
competent person.
– 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.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
door, as this can cause the
machine to tip up.
Always close the door after use.
This way you will avoid the danger
of:
– children climbing onto or into the
dryer or hiding things in it.
– pets or other small animals climbing
into it.

Estimated time remaining
When a programme is selected the
estimated drying time will appear in the

an estimate!
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: Residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the machine 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.
In the same way, the Woollens hand
care and Smoothing programmes can
finish earlier than expected if a certain
temperature is reached. This can

Guide to the machine
Drying air
The drying air in the drum circulates in
a closed system and is condensed in
the condenser unit. The condensed
water is then collected or can be
pumped away.
Fluff builds up on garments when they
are being worn and washed. This fluff is
collected by the fluff filters in the door
and the door opening.
Hygiene filter for room air used for
cooling the condenser unit
The hygiene filter filters the air from the
room which the dryer takes in to cool
the condenser unit. The filtered room
air which has been warmed by the
condenser unit is then expelled from
the back of the dryer.
The hygiene filter must be replaced
with a new one when the Change filter
indicator light comes on.
The machine must not be used
without the hygiene filter in place.
Without the hygiene filter in place, the
dryer will take in more room air which
will in turn cool the condenser unit more
and cause a lower drying temperature.
A reduction in the drying temperature
will mean that micro-organisms are not
deactivated. The noise level during
drying will also increase.
Please note that the programme
durations will be longer if the hygiene
filter is not replaced when the indicator
light comes on.

garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
– Minimum iron fabrics and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the greater the load.
This is especially true of very fine
weaves.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly
after washing using the appropriate
spin speed.
Reduce the load or use the Minimum
iron - Hand iron programme.
– For delicates and fabrics with the
following care label r select Low
temperature or use the allerdry -
Minimum iron programme.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– 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 machine.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be partially dried using the Woollens
hand care programme.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filters
Fluff from items being dried is collected
by the fluff filters in the door and the
door opening. Clean the filters after
each drying programme.
Useful tip: You can also use a
vacuum cleaner* to remove the fluff.
This could be helpful for allergy
sufferers where it is important to
avoid the skin coming into contact
with the fluff.

tool.
Cleaning them whilst dry
^ Vacuum the surface of the fluff filter.
If a vacuum cleaner is not available, you
can remove the fluff with your fingers.

also use a cleaning brush which is
available as an optional extra from
your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter
(1) out of the door as illustrated.
^ Also clean the door seal (2) with a

opening by first inserting them at the
bottom and then pressing them into
place at the top.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter
out of the door as described

Cleaning the tumble dryer
The two filters in the door opening can
also be removed if you need to clean
them with water.
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply.
^ Clean the housing and control panel
with a slightly damp cloth and a mild
detergent or soapy water.
^ The drum and other stainless steel
parts can be cleaned with a suitable
propietary stainless steel cleaner
following the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaners. These could
damage plastic sufaces and other
parts. The machine must never be
hosed down.
^ Turn dial a and pull the filter by the
dial out of the door opening as shown
b. Do the same on the other side.
^ Rinse all the filters under hot, running
water.
^ Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

Cleaning and care
Hygiene filter
The replaceable hygiene filter is
located in a removeable holder on the
back of the panel.
Replacing the hygiene filter
The hygiene filter in the dryer filters out
dirt particles from the room air which is
drawn in to cool the condenser unit.
This means that when the air which has
been used to cool the condenser unit is
expelled back into the room, it does not
add any dirt particles to the air in the
room.
,To ensure that the dryer
continues to function correctly the
hygiene filter* must be replaced with
a new filter when necessary.
^ Press the lugs gently together to
release the holder from the panel.
* accessory available to order

Cleaning and care
Resetting the filter counter after
fitting a new filter
The Change filter indicator comes on to
tell you that it is time, under normal
conditions, to replace the hygiene filter
with a new one.
However, where excessive dust has
collected it may be necessary to
replace the hygiene filter more
frequently than waiting until the
indicator lights up.
You must reset the filter counter back
to 0 when you replace the filter. This
allows the filter counter to start
counting the time to the next
replacement.
Carry out the following procedure each
time you replace the hygiene filter
(even if the indicator light has not come
on):
^ Turn the programme selector to
Finish.
^ Switch the dryer on.
^ Press the Low temperature and Short
buttons at the same time and hold
them in for 4 seconds.

Installation and connection
Installation site
,The dryer should not be installed
next to a refrigerator or freezer. The
warm air expelled from the rear of the
dryer would increase the temperature
around the refrigerator's/freezer's heat
exchanger causing the compressor to
run continuously.
,Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
Transporting the machine to its
installation site
If it is not possible to install the dryer
anywhere else, then the
refrigerator/freezer must be sealed off
from the dryer.
When moving the machine you can
hold it by the lid where it protrudes to
the rear of the dryer. To manoeuvre the
dryer out of its packing case to its
installation site you will also need to
hold it by the front feet.
If you wish to push your machine under
a worktop and there is space to do this
without removing the lid, a building
under kit* is not necessary. Otherwise
the building under kit is essential.
Building under a continuous worktop /
in a row of kitchen units
,It is very important to avoid a
build up of heat.
The warm air which is expelled from
the rear of the dryer must be able to
dissipate. Otherwise drying times
will be increased unnecessarily.
,The building under kit* must be
fitted by a suitably qualified person.
The machine lid is replaced by a
coverplate.
It is essential that the cover plate is
fitted to ensure electrical safety.
You can ensure that the warm air can
dissipate by:
The building-under kit is supplied with
its own installation instructions.
– Adjusting the screw feet so that there
is a gap of at least 20 mm between
the floor and the bottom of the dryer.
– The electrical socket must be
located in an accessible position
near the machine.
– Creating a gap for the dryer in the
kitchen furniture plinth facing.
With niche heights of:
– 840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.
– Creating ventilation gaps in the
kitchen unit.
– 870/885 - 915/930 mm, one or two
height adjustment frames* are
required.
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.

Installation and connection
Replacing the lid
If the lid has been removed in order to
fit a coverplate, ensure that, if the lid is
ever replaced, it fits securely into the
rear holders. Otherwise, it is not
properly secure for transport.
Levelling the machine
^ The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
,At the front of the dryer: Room
air to cool the condenser unit is
taken in through the opening in the
hygiene filter panel. This opening
must not be blocked or covered over
as this would cause a fault.
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.

Installation and connection
Room in which the dryer is located
Air taken in for use in the drying
process will be warm when it is
expelled from the rear of the dryer. This
expelled air heats up the air in the
room. It is therefore very important to
ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated, particularly if the dryer is
located in a small room. Otherwise
running times and energy consumption
could be increased.
Washer-dryer stack
The tumble dryer can also be
combined with a Miele washing
machine in a washer-dryer stack. To do
this the appropriate stacking kit* (WTV)
to match your washing machine is
required.
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
,Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.
Before moving the machine 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 machine is tipped up when it
is being moved. It is a good idea to run
the Cool air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
the machine. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the
condensed water container or out
through the drain hose.

Installation and connection
External condensed water
outlet
From the back of the dryer at the
bottom:
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 machine is installed
near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that
the condensed water container does
not have to be emptied.
The drain hose (approx. 2 m long) is
stored in the dryer. It must be pulled
out of the dryer to its full extent if
condensed water is to be drained
externally. Maximum delivery head:
1 m.
^ Unclip the drain hose from clip (3).
^ Then pull the drain hose completely
out of the dryer towards the left (4)
(See illustration). Important:
If it is not long enough, an extension
hose is available as an optional
accessory through your dealer or from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
,Do not let the drain hose
become kinked, as this could
damage it.
Setting up the drain hose
From the back of the dryer at the top:
,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
(see "Front view" illustration).
^ Unclip the drain hose from clip (1).
^ Then pull it off holder (2).

Installation and connection
Connection to a sink drain outlet
If this nut has a flat disc in it you should
take the disc out first. Important: if this
nut has a washer or seal in it this must
not be removed!
The drain hose can be connected
directly to a sink drain outlet.
^ Attach the end of the hose to
adapter 1.
^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose
clip 3 up close to the nut.
If you no longer wish to use an
external condensed water outlet
,Do not push the drain hose
back into the dryer. Doing this could
cause it to become kinked and
damaged in the dryer.
^ Loop the drain hose up.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the bottom:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
^ Use a suitable cable tie to secure the
looped hose to the back of the dryer,
or simply lay the looped hose behind
the dryer.
^ Attach the open end of the drain
hose back onto the holder at the
back of the dryer at the top (see
holder 2 in "Pulling out the drain
hose").
^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet
using nut 2.
