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
Electrical and electronic appliances
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.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
appliance with your household waste.
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.
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.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
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.
–
Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
–
Make sure the fluff filters are clean
before using the dryer.
–
Check the condenser unit from time
to time and clean it when necessary.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a

Technical safety
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a
damaged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and
frequency) matches the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for the consequences
of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger or overheating).
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
machine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions
If the appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical
portable outlet device the cord
extension set or electrical portable
outlet device should be positioned so it
is not subject to splashing or ingress of
moisture.
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
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 plug 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.
difficult to start.
There is a risk of damage if the
condensed water is allowed to freeze in
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.
The dryer must not be used without
the fluff filters in place or if the fluff
filters are damaged in any way.
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

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
lacquer, 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
keeping 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
spontaneously, 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 become 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
dryers should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the
tumble dryer or piled or stacked
while hot.

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
–
completely dry.
Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at
highest spin speed for the
type of fabric.
Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programme
selected.
– Close zips and fasten any
hooks next time.
If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long zips
using "Timed drying - Warm
air".
Check the condenser unit
from time to time and clean
it if necessary (see
"Cleaning and Care").
Remove any objects that are
blocking the vents.

Problem solving guide
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
The programme has
stopped, the
Anti-crease/Finish lamp
has come on in the
sequence display and
the buzzer is sounding.
This is not a fault. The electronics register whether
there is laundry in the drum after the start of a
COTTONS or MINIMUM IRON programme. If the
drum is empty the programme is stopped. The will
also be stopped if the laundry is dry when the
programme is started or if you are trying to dry an
individual item. Use the Timed drying programme
(Warm air) to dry individual items.

Installation
Installation site
Make sure the dryer door can be
,
opened without hindrance after
installation.
Transporting the machine to its
installation site
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.
The electric socket must be located
–
in an accessible position near the
machine.
When built under running times may be
longer.
NOTE:
If you wish to push your machine under
a worktop and there is space to do this
without removing the lid, the conversion
kit is not necessary. Otherwise the
conversion 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.
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.
–
A special conversion kit* is required.
The machine lid is replaced by a
coverplate which must be fitted by
suitably qualified person to ensure
electrical safety.
–
When installing under a 900/910 mm
high worktop a spacer kit* is
required.
31
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.
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.
^
The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
,
The ventilation slots underneath
the door must on no account be
blocked as this will prevent a
sufficient intake of cold air.
32
Before moving the machine again
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
of the pump. This water can run out, if
the machine is tipped up when it is
being moved. We therefore recommend
that you 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
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.
Pulling out the drain hose
From the back of the dryer at the
bottom:
^ Unclip the drain hose from holder (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.
From the back of the dryer at the top:
^
Unclip the drain hose (1).
^
Then pull it off holder (2).
,
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).
33
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
using nut 2.
