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.
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.
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.

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, 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
machine.
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 (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Correct use
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.
The electrical safety of this
machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt the household wiring system
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).
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).
5
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
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 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.
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 dryer must not be used without
the condenser unit in place.
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.
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.

General problems
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
The tumble dryer fails to
start when switched on.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
No obvious cause.
Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.
Have you followed the

switch-on procedure
correctly (see “How to
dry correctly”)?
– Is the plug correctly
inserted in the socket
and switched on?
– Is the door closed
properly?
– Has the fuse or circuit
breaker tripped?
Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
machine or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load in the dryer.

Problem solving guide
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.
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 vents below the door
are blocked.
The fluff filters are clogged
up with fluff or were still wet
when they were replaced.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block up the
condenser unit.
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.
Open a door or window
while the machine is in
operation for increased air
flow.
Remove any objects that
–
are blocking the vents.
Remove any fluff.
–
– The fluff filters must be
completely dry.
Check the condenser unit
from time to time and clean
it if necessary (see
"Cleaning and Care").
Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed.
Do not exceed the maximum

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 electronic unit has
recognised that there is
no laundry in the drum
and cancelled the
programme.
Drying individual
garments or items which
are already dry can also
cause the programme to
be stopped.
Use the "Timed drying Warm air" programme to
dry individual items.
Before changing a
programme: Open and
close the drum door.
26
Changing the lamp
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply.
Problem solving guide
The lamp specification and
maximum wattage is stated on the
data plate and on the lamp cover.
Open the door.
^
You will find the interior lamp cover at
the top of the drum aperture.
^ Insert a suitable tool, such as a wide
bladed screwdriver, under the side
edge of the lamp cover as illustrated.
^
Apply a little pressure and whilst
doing so turn your wrist in the
direction of the arrow to open the
cover.
Replace the lamp.
^
To close the cover push it upwards
^
and press it on the left and right until
you hear it click into position.
Ensure that it is fitted into
,
position securely, as any moisture
could cause a short circuit.
The cover will open downwards.
The temperature resistant lamp should
only be ordered from your Miele dealer
or the Miele Spare Parts Department.

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.
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.
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
coverplate is fitted to ensure
electrical safety.
The building under kit is supplied with
its own installation instructions.
N.B. When built under running times
may be longer.
– The electrical socket must be
located in an accessible position
near the machine.
With niche heights of:
– 840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.
–
870/885 mm - 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.
30
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
Levelling 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
the
Cool air
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.
programme for
31
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
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.
From the back of the dryer at the top:
^
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 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!
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.
