Correct use
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, marked on
the manufacturer’s wash care label as
being suitable for tumble drying.
Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a dam
aged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre
quency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali
fied electrician.
-
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 responsibility. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved engineer.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma
chine be guaranteed.
If the appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical por

Warning and Safety instructions
If the mains cable becomes dam
aged it must be replaced with a
Miele original cable.
In the event of a fault or for clean
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
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and the plug is withdrawn, or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the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Operation
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Do not let small children play with
the machine or its controls. Super
vise its use by the elderly or infirm.
This dryer must not be:
–
connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use.
–
used without exhaust ducting.
–
used without the fluff filter in place or
if the fluff filter is damaged in any
way.
Check all parts of the extraction
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall
vent, external grille, bends in the
ducting etc.) and make sure they are all
-
free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff
will prevent a free-flow of air through the
system. If the dryer is to be connected
to an existing ducting system this must
be checked for suitability beforehand.
Adequate ventilation is essential,
especially where another appli
ance which also uses the room air (eg
gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous
flow or other water heater) is installed in
the same or an adjacent room. To en
sure safe operation, and to prevent
gases given off by these appliances
being drawn back into the room, an
underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maximum permissible. Ventilation can be
maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by an automatic window opening arrangement when the
tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,
the advice of a competent builder, or
for gas, a gas fitter must be sought.
The exhaust air must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is
in use, nor should it be connnected to
ducting which ventilates rooms with fire
places. It would be dangerous if smoke
or exhaust fumes were drawn back into
the room.
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop down to or below freezing. At very
cold temperatures the machine may be
difficult to start.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff.

Warning and Safety instructions
Always close the door after use.
This way you will avoid the danger
of:
anyone sitting or leaning on the door,
–
which can cause the machine to tip
up,
children climbing onto or into the
–
dryer or hiding things in it.
There is danger of fire with fabrics
which:
contain a large proportion of rubber,
–
foam rubber or rubber like materials.
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents.
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover
or similar substances.
– which contain padding or fillings
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were
damaged the filling could leak with
the risk of igniting in the dryer.
–
are soiled with oil or grease.
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to keep
ing the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.
To minimize the risk of fire in a
tumble dryer, the following
should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or
–
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should
not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite sponta
neously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a tumble
dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the
oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can be
come hot enough to catch fire.
Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer
they should first be washed in hot
water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The "cool down" cycle of tumble dry
-
ers should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the tum
ble dryer or piled or stacked while
hot.
-
-
-
-
6
Items that have been previously
–
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with petrol/gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other flam
mable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
Highly flammable substances com
monly used in a domestic environ
ments include acetone, denatured al
cohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene,
spot removers (some brands), tur
pentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also
–
known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials should not
be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat
setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.

Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, per
formance and product liability claims
may be invalidated.
-
-
-
– Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static elec
tricity unless this practice is specifi
cally recommended by the manufac
turer of the fabric softener or
product.
–
Undergarments that contain metal re
inforcements should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can re
sult if metal reinforcements come
loose during drying. When available
a drying rack could be used for such
items.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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!
Rather than just throwing these materi
als away, please ensure they are of
fered for recycling.
-
-
Disposal of your old appliance
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.
Before discarding an old machine unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut
off the cable directly behind the appli
ance to prevent misuse. This should be
done by a competent person.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Energy saving tips
Make sure that your laundry is thor
^
oughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
Load according to the optimum
^
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
"Programme chart").
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
^ To avoid unecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-
fore using the dryer.
–
Check all parts of the ventilation sys
tem on a regular basis and remove
any build up of fluff etc.
^
The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.
-
-
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.

How to dry correctly
Prepare the laundry
As far as possible, sort laundry for:
^
- the type of fibre or weave,
- the degree of dryness required,
- similar size of items,
- the moisture content after
spinning.
This will help towards achieving an
even drying result.
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.
Do not overload the drum. Over
loading can cause unecessary wear
and tear to the laundry and give a
disappointing drying result.
See the "Programme chart" for maxi
mum recommended loads.

ter in the door. Clean the filter after
every drying cycle.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter
out of the door as illustrated.
A cleaning brush is available as an
optional extra from your Miele dealer
-
-
or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
You can also use a vacuum cleaner.
Once clean, push the filter back into
^
the door holder until it clicks into po
sition. Ensure it is facing the correct
way. Close the door.
If there is a great deal of compacted
fluff on the filter, it can be cleaned
under hot running water.
After cleaning shake thoroughly until
^
no more water droplets are visible.
^ Dry the filter carefully.
^ Push the filter back into the door
holder until it clicks into position.
Make sure it is the right way round.
Tumble dryer
Disconnect the machine from the

Problem solving guide
With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of the appli
ance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without
contacting the Service Department.
Repairs to the machine should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified ser
vice technician to ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous.
FaultPossible causeRemedy
The appliance fails to
start when switched on.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
No obvious cause.Have you followed the
switch-on procedure cor
rectly (see section on
"Drying correctly").
Is the plug correctly in
serted in the socket and

ProblemPossible causeRemedy
There is a build up of
fluff.
The laundry is not suffi

Installation site
Building under a continuous worktop / in a row of kitchen units
The space required by the vent duct
must be taken into consideration when
calculating the distance between the
machine and a wall or other appliances
or furniture on either side.
A special conversion kit* is re
–
quired.
The machine lid is replaced by a
coverplate which must be fitted by
suitably qualified person to ensure
electrical safety. This kit is supplied
with installation instructions.
– When installing under a 900/910 mm
high worktop a spacer kit* is required.
– Flat type ducting* is required if there
is not enough space for a vent duct.
– The electric socket must be located
in an accessible position near the
machine.
When built under running times may be
longer.
NOTE:
-
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 se
cure for transport.
Washer-dryer stack
The tumble dryer can also be com
bined with a Miele washing machine in
a washer-dryer stack. To do this the ap
propriate stacking kit* (WTV) to match
your washing machine is required.
A washer and dryer should never be
stacked without using the proper stacking kit. Doing so is extremely dangerous, as the dryer may vibrate off of the
washing machine during use.
All parts marked * are available from
the Miele Spare Parts or Sales
Departement, and must be fitted by a
suitably competent person according to
the instructions supplied with the kit.
-
-
-
If you wish to push your machine under
a worktop and there is space to do this
without removing the lid, the coversion
kit is not necessary. Otherwise the con
version kit is essential.
When building under allow for 625 mm
to include hoses, lid, facia and door.
When building the machine in behind
cabinet doors, ensure that doors are
open during operation for adequate
ventilation.

Installation - venting
General
Important
Before operating the appliance, a
suitable venting system must be in
stalled to carry the moist air from the
dryer to the outside.
Before installing the ducting system,
–
ensure that the appliance is not con
nected to the power supply.
The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall)
–
should be installed in such a way
that the moist expelled air . .
. . . cannot be drawn back into the
room in which the dryer is installed;
. . . cannot cause a nuisance or any
damage to the building.
– Adequate ventilation is essential as
the dryer uses the room air. Ventilation can be maintained by:
- an open window;
- an air inlet which cannot be
blocked in windows, doors
and outside wall vents;
- a window switch which prevents
the dryer being used when the win
dow is closed.
Avoid:
very long venting systems
–
too many bends or corners; tight cor
–
ners.
Otherwise the drying result will not be
as good and drying will take longer and
use more energy.
Suitable materials for venting
-
pipework:
flexible vent hose*, plastic piping,
–
galvanised steel piping (with a diam
eter of at least 100 mm).
– for venting directly outside:
a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*.
*These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from builders’ merchants.
Procedure:
^ First measure the duct length re-
quired. Calculate the effective duct
length and establish the internal duct
diameter required (use the tables on
-
the following pages).
Longer ducting will require a larger
duct diameter.
-
-
28
^
Finally decide which venting system
you are going to install (see "Venting
systems" in this section).
Installation - venting
Calculating the effective duct
length:
Friction against the inner walls of the
vent duct will slow down the expelled
air as it passes through the duct. An el
bow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent
creates more friction than a straight
duct. The friction created by each of
these is expressed as an additionallength factor. The additional length
factors are calculated by comparing
the friction created by, for example, an
elbow to that created by 1 meter of
duct diameter should be increased (Ta
ble II).
1. To calculate the effective duct
length:
First measure the distance which will

amount by the corresponding addi
tional duct length factor in Table I.
Establish the number of angles,

Venting systems overview
The various venting systems which are
possible are described on the following
pages. These include:
a Flexible ducting hose
b Plastic piping or galvanised steel
piping
c Connecting directly to the wall vent
d Main venting duct
Venting system with
Flexible ducting hose
This is a simple, cost effective
method of directing the moist air out
side. The adapter supplied is fitted
into the vent opening on the dryer
and the ducting hose is then con
nected to the adapter.
A ring adapter** (1) is installed in
adapter (2) for the installation of a flexi
ble vent duct. It reduces time and en
ergy requirements during drying when
used in combination with a short ventduct (maximum 10 m total length).
The ring adapter is removable and de
signed for use with all venting systems.
** Note for test institutes: EN 61121 Standard
testing is carried out with the ring adapter.
-
-
A Ring adapter (1) must be taken out
of adapter (2), if the total duct length
-
is longer than 10 m.
If the total duct length is less than 10
m the ring adapter (1) should be left
in adapter (2).
B Fit adapter (2) into the vent opening
on the dryer, and connect vent hose

Venting system with
plastic piping
Plastic piping is a good option where
the vented air has to be ducted for
some distance. The smooth walls of
the pipe are less resistant to the
vented air than the walls of a flexible
vent hose, for example. Time and en
ergy consumption are better with
plastic piping.
The following items are required: . .
^
. . . an adapter* with rib on the inside.
. . . a wall vent kit* or window vent
kit*.
* (Miele optional accessory)
. . . Suitable piping available from
your dealer or builder’s merchant.
Where the pipe diameter is more than
100 mm, additional adapters are necessary (e.g. to increase from C 100
to 125 mm) to connect the pipe to the
dryer.
If the total duct length is greater than
10 m the ring adapter is not required.
B Fit Miele adapter (2) into the vent
opening on the dryer.
C Attach the pipe (3).

Installation - venting
Connecting directly to a wall
vent
The best method of venting the dryer
is to connect it directly to the outside
wall of a room. However, it is neces
sary to insert the wall vent right
through the wall.
Because the vented air is blown di
rectly outside, and has only a short
distance to go, this system is very ef
ficient in terms of time and energy
consumption.
A wall pipe and a flexible foam gas
^
ket must be used (both Miele optional
accessories).
A Before drilling into the wall . . .
. . . read the installation instructions
supplied with the Miele wall pipe.

Main venting duct
We recommend that when several dryers are being installed each dryer
should be fitted with one non-return flap
installed directly on the main venting
duct (R, upper picture). Extra Miele
equipment is required for this purpose.
