Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Energy saving tips
^ Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
^ Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
Programme chart).
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
Disposal of your old machine
^ To save energy and time:
Old machines contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filters are clean
before using the dryer.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before throwing an old machine
away unplug it and render the plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly
behind the machine to prevent misuse.
This should be done by a competent
person.

Notes on laundry care
Wash care labels
Items filled with down.
The fabric lining on these garments
may shrink depending on the quality.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
Before drying check the drying
symbol on the wash care label.
Significance of symbols:
Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the wash care label,
as the surface of the fabric may
otherwise "roughen". These items can
be partially dried using the Smoothing
programme.
q Dry at normal temperature
r Dry at low temperature
sDo not tumble dry
If no symbol is featured, dry at your
own risk applying the following
principles:
Woven and loopknit materials (e.g.
T-shirts, knitted garments) have a
tendency to shrink, depending on their
quality and this is made worse by
over-drying. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
Cotton and minimum iron items should
be dried using the appropriate
programme for the degree of drying
required. See programme chart.
For delicates and fabrics with the
following wash care label r dry using
the Low temperature option.
Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,
the larger the load being dried,
particulary when the weave of the
fabric is very fine. Reduce the load or
use the MINIMUM IRON - Hand iron
programme with a max. load of 1 kg. If
this is unsatisfactory use the Special
care "Smoothing" setting, then hang the
garments on a hanger to dry.
Never overload the drum. Do not
exceed the maximum recommended
loads given in the "Programme
chart". Overloading can cause
unnecessary wear and tear to the
laundry, give a disappointing drying
result and cause more creasing.
Do not put soaking wet items into
the tumble dryer. Spin them
thoroughly after washing using the
appropriate spin speed.
Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
New dark coloured garments should be
dried separately from light coloured
garments to avoid the danger of col-
ours running.
Tips on drying
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.

How to dry correctly
A Prepare the laundry
Do not overload the drum.
^ As far as possible, sort laundry for:
- the type of fibre or weave,
- the degree of dryness required,
- similar size of items,
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
- the moisture content after
spinning.
This will help towards achieving an
even drying result.
See the "Programme chart" for
maximum recommended loads.
^ Before closing the door check that
the fluff filter is correctly positioned in
the door.
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being rolled up inside
them.
Do up zips, hooks and eyes etc.
Tie fabric belts, apron strings.
Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
Make sure there is no detergent
dispenser ball etc. in with the
laundry, as this could melt and
damage the machine and the
laundry.
B Load the drum and switch

Installation
Installation site
A building under kit* is required.
,Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
The machine lid is replaced by a
coverplate which must be fitted by a
suitably qualified person to ensure
electrical safety.
Transporting the machine to its
installation site
– When installing under a 900/910 mm
high worktop a spacer kit* is
required.
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.
– The electrical socket must be
located in an accessible position
near the machine.
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Building under a continous worktop /
in a row of kitchen units
The building under kit is supplied with
its own installation instructions.
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.
If it is not possible to install the dryer
anywhere else, then the
refrigerator/freezer must be sealed
off from the dryer.
N.B. When built under running times
may be longer.
Replacing the lid
If the lid has been removed in order to
fit a cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is
replaced, it fits securely into the rear
holders. Otherwise, it is not properly
secure for transport.

Installation
Aligning the machine
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.
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Stacking kits must be fitted 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.
^ The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
,The ventilation gaps in the plinth
must not be covered over as this
would prevent a sufficient intake of
air.

Installation
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.
^ Unclip the drain hose from holder (3).
Maximum delivery head: 1 m.
^ Then pull the drain hose completely
out of the dryer towards the left (4)
(See illustration).
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.
,Important: do not let the drain
hose become kinked as this could
damage it.
Pulling out 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 (1).
^ Then pull it off holder (2).

If this nut has a flat disc sealing 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.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the bottom:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
^ Loop the drain hose up.
^ 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
