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.
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.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This tumble dryer is only intended
~
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, and marked
on the manufacturer's care label as
It is essential to read these
~
instructions.
This tumble dryer conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead
to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the tumble dryer, 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.
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. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This appliance is not intended for
~
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it by a person responsible for
their safety.
Safety with children
Keep children away from the tumble
~
dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow them to
play on or near it or to play with its
controls. Supervise children whilst you
are using it.
Older children may only use it if its
~
operation has been clearly explained to
them, and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of incorrect
use.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer,
~
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble
dryer.
Before connecting the tumble dryer,
~
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.
The electrical safety of this tumble
~
dryer can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety 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. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Do not connect the tumble dryer to
~
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
tumble dryer (e.g. danger of
overheating).
Unauthorised repairs could result in
~
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
tumble dryer 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
tumble dryer 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 the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the tumble dryer 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 disconnected, or
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
This tumble dryer may only be used
~
in mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
In countries where there are areas
~
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
tumble dryer 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 guarantee.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
tumble dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
items which have not been washed.
–
items, such as workwear, which have
–
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
– items which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
– items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following must not be dried in this
tumble dryer:
fabrics which contain a large
–
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example,
products made from latex foam
rubber, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubberised articles and items
of clothing and pillows with foam
rubber filling.
items which contain padding or
–
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these
were damaged the filling could get
out with the risk of igniting in the
dryer.
In many programmes, the heating
~
phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.
Fabric conditioner and similar
~
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 cleaned
~
regularly.
The dryer must not be used without
~
the condenser unit in place.
The fluff filters must be thoroughly
~
dried after cleaning. Damp or wet filters
could cause operational faults.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a
~
room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the tumble dryer 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.
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
~
tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust
drawn into the tumble dryer can cause
blockages in the condenser unit over
time.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
~
door, as this can cause the tumble
dryer to tip up.
Always close the door after use. This
~
way you will avoid the danger of:
children climbing onto or into the
–
dryer or hiding things in it.
pets or other small animals climbing
–
into it.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed
~
down.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts
~
and accessories with this appliance.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

When a programme is selected, the
estimated duration (time remaining) will
appear in the display. Please be aware
that it is only an estimate!
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the machine and adjust
the estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this, the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme.
In the same way, the Woollens
handcare, Silks handcare and
Smoothing programmes can finish
earlier than expected if a certain
temperature is reached. This can
happen with particularly fine fabrics,
very small loads or if items were partly
dry beforehand.

26
Condensed water should not be
consumed. It could lead to health
problems for people and animals.
Condensed water can be put to
household use (e.g. used in a steam
iron or humidifier). To ensure that any
residual particles of fluff in the
condensed water are removed before
use, pass it through a fine sieve or
paper filter first.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying
process is collected by the fluff filters in
the door and the door opening. Clean
the filters after each drying
programme*.
Cleaning them whilst dry
Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner
to remove the fluff.
Remove any fluff from the hollow part
^
of the door opening. You could also

Synthetic fibres tend to

Fluff is principally the
result of friction when
garments are being worn
and washed. Machine
drying hardly causes any
fluff to form and has been
established by research
institutes to have no
appreciable effect on the
lifetime of fabric.
Feathers are a natural

normal.
Ensure that the

positioned correctly
and lock the inner

Check the rubber

unit housing.
Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
programme or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.
Fluff is collected by the

easily removed (see

expelled from underneath 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)
(available to order) is required.
,
The stacking kit must be fitted by
suitably qualified fitter.
Before moving the tumble dryer
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 dryer 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 dryer. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the
condensed water container or out
through the drain hose.

Installation
Matching the fascia panel to
the height of adjacent drawer
fronts
The fascia panel can be aligned with
the drawer fronts by adjusting the
spacer bars.
^ Using a socket spanner, turn
clockwise or anti-clockwise until the
required height is reached.
If necessary individual bars can be
removed or more added.
^
To do this, use the socket spanner to
loosen the nuts.
An adapter kit with spacer bars and
longer screws can be ordered as an
optional accessory. This can be used to
add spacer bars from below up to a
maximum of 25 mm.
Removing the spacer bars
All the spacer bars can be removed if
the upper edge of the front panel needs
to be flush with the upper edge of the
appliance front directly underneath the
fascia panel. See "Fitting a front panel
made by another manufacturer".
Open the door.
^
^ Unscrew and remove the 3 screws
(see arrows).
^
Remove all the spacer bars.
The 3 holes which are now free should
be used to screw the front panel to the
machine front later on.
After fitting the bars, cut or pinch off any
excess length from the screws.
43
Installation
Fitting the front panel
The appliance front can be fitted with a
door panel to match other kitchen units.
If fitted in a Miele kitchen, the door
panel can be ordered pre-drilled with
the necessary fixing holes.
If fitted in a non-Miele kitchen, a
suitable panel will have to be drilled
to suit by a qualified kitchen fitter.
See "Fitting a door front panel made
by another manufacturer" for details
on preparing and drilling the fixing
holes.

General notes
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 dryer is installed near a sink, drain
outlet etc. so that the condensed water
container does not have to be emptied.
Drain hose length ............1.00m
Extension hose ..............2.00 m
(accessory)
Maximum delivery head .......1.50m
Maximum drain hose length ....4.00 m
,
If the on-site water drainage
system is not fitted with a non-return
valve or an appropriate air gap, an
air gap or the non-return valve
supplied with the dryer must be
fitted to prevent the risk of back-flow.
(See "Installation conditions
requiring a non-return valve").
Maximum delivery head
with non-return valve fitted .....1.00m
Arranging the drain hose
,
Do not pull on the drain hose
and do not stretch it or allow it to
become kinked as it could get
damaged.
Unclip the drain hose from clips (1)
^
and (2).
^
Then pull it off connection (3).
^
The lower clip (4) can be opened to
allow you to take the drain hose out or
to feed the mains cable through it.
48
Installation
External drainage via a sink or gully
See "Front view" illustration.
^
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 conditions requiring a
non-return valve
If the on-site water drainage
,
system is not fitted with a non-return
valve or an appropriate air gap, an
air gap or the non-return valve
supplied with the machine must be
fitted to prevent the risk of back-flow.
Otherwise water could leak out of
the dryer and cause damage.
Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet
The drain hose with non-return valve
fitted can be connected directly to a
suitable sink drain outlet.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the bottom:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
A non-return valve is required:
–
If the tumble dryer is connected to a
sink drain outlet (see the following
section).
–
If the tumble dryer is to be
connected to a drainage system
already in use by another appliance,
e.g. a dishwasher or washing
machine.
