Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, use and maintenance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
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.
"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.
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play on or near it, or to
play with the controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a
damaged machine.

when continuity is complete between
the machine and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be

Warning and Safety instructions
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
In the event of a fault or for
cleaning purposes, the machine is
only completely isolated from the
electiricty 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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the mains fuse is withdrawn.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 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.
The dryer must not be used without
the fluff filters in place or if the fluff
filters are damaged in any way.
the pump, hoses and / or condensed
water container.
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.
Condensed water is not drinking
water. It can cause health
problems in both people and animals.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff. Dust
drawn into the machine can, over time,
cause blockages in the condenser unit.
The fluff filters must be thoroughly
dried after cleaning. If they are still
damp or wet when replaced there is a
risk of faults occurring when the
machine is used.
The dryer must not be used without
the condenser unit in place.
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.
There is a risk of damage if the
condensed water is allowed to freeze in

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
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines often contain materials
which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. The plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.
See the "Warning and Safety" section of
this booklet for further details.
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.
Energy saving tips
^ Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly 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.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
^
To save energy and time:
–
Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
–
Make sure the fluff filters are clean
before using the dryer.

A 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.
How to dry correctly
Do not overload the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
See the "Programme chart" for
maximum recommended loads.

Important: Before attempting to remedy one of the
following causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again
to start the programme again.
Ventilation to and from the
dryer may be insufficient
(e.g because it is installed in
a small room). This has
caused the temperature in
the room to rise sharply.
The fluff filters are clogged
up with fluff or were still wet
when they were replaced.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
Metallic components, e.g.
zips have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level in the
laundry.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block up the
condenser unit.
The vents below the door
are blocked.
Open a door or window
while the machine is in
operation for increased air
flow.
Remove any fluff.
–
The fluff filters must be

Installation
Installation site
Make sure the dryer door can be
,
opened without hindrance after
installation.
Transporting the machine to its
installation site
A building under kit* is required
,
which must be fitted by a suitably
qualified person.
The machine lid is replaced by a
coverplate. It is essential that the
coverplate is fitted to ensure
electrical safety.
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.
Building under a continous worktop /
in a row of kitchen units
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.
When installing under a 900/910 mm
–
high worktop a spacer kit* is
required.
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.
The building under kit is supplied with
its own installation instructions.
N.B. When built under running times
may be longer.
If you wish to push your machine under
a worktop and there is space to do this
without removing the lid, the building
under kit is not necessary. Otherwise
the building under kit is essential.
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.
30
Installation
Aligning the machine
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
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.
^
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.
,
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

Installation
External condensed water
outlet
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.
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.
Setting up the drain hose
From the back of the dryer at the top:
From the back of the dryer at the
bottom:
^ Unclip the drain hose from clip (3).
^ Then pull the drain hose completely
out of the dryer towards the left (4)
(See illustration). Important:
,
Do not let the drain hose
become kinked, as this could
damage it.
^
Unclip the drain hose from clip (1).
^
Then pull it off holder (2).
32
,
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).
Installation
Connection to a sink drain outlet
The drain hose can be connected
directly to a sink drain outlet.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the bottom:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
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!
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.
^ 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
