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.

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.

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).
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.
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.
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.

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 deposits (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 (e.g. mops and floorheads)
which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or
other chemicals.
– 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:
items which have been cleaned
–
using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
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.
– damaged items which contain
padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling
can 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 has been completed.
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.

Programme duration / Estimated time
remaining
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.
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.
Delay start
The delay start time selected will
appear in the display.
After the Start/Stop button has been
pressed, the delay start time will start
counting down.
Once the delay start time has elapsed,
the programme will begin and the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to tailor drying programmes to suit
your individual requirements. In
programming mode, the display will
show the function selected.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the dryer 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.

household use (e.g. 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.
^
Pull out the container.
^
Hold it at the front and towards the
back and keep it in a horizontal
position when carrying it.
22

removed.
The dryer can be pushed under a
worktop with its lid in place, providing
the worktop is high enough.
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.
Washer-dryer stack
The tumble dryer can also be
combined with a Miele washing
machine in a washer-dryer stack. The
appropriate "WTV" stacking kit
(available to order) to match your dryer
is required.
,
Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.
37
Installation and connection
Levelling the machine
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
The air inlet and outlet vents on
,
the front and back of the machine
must not be covered as this would
prevent sufficient ventilation for
cooling the condenser unit.
Do not block the gap between
,
the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep file
carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
Room ventilation
The air which is taken in when the dryer
is in operation is blown out of the front
of the dryer and warms up the air in the
room. It is very important to ensure
adequate ventilation, e.g. by opening a
window. Otherwise drying times maybe
longer.
^
The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
38
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 Warm air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
it. Any remaining condensed water will
then be fed into the condensed water
container or out through the drain hose.
Installation and connection
External condensed water
outlet
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 tumble dryer is installed near a sink,
drain outlet etc. so that the condensed
water container does not have to be
emptied.
Drain hose length ............1.50 m
Maximum delivery head .......1.50 m
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, one
must be fitted to prevent the risk of
back-flow. (See "Installation conditions
requiring a non-return valve").
There will be a small amount of
^
residual water in the drain hose.
Have a container ready to collect
this.
^ Pull the hose off its connection (see
arrow).
^ Allow any residual water to run into
the container.
^ Unwind the hose and pull it carefully
out of the holders.
The following optional accessories are
available:
–
an extension hose
–
a non-return valve kit for connection
to an external condensed water
outlet (includes an extension hose).
Maximum delivery head with
non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m
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.
^
Position the hose to the right or left
hand side as necessary.
Leave the hose in the middle holder to
prevent it from becoming kinked
inadvertently.
39
Installation and connection
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.
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
Certain installation conditions
,
require the fitting of a non-return
valve for external water
connection (available as an
optional accessory). A non-return
valve will prevent the risk of
back-flow out of the dryer which
could 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 top:
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 connected to a
drainage system already in use by
another appliance, e.g. a dishwasher
or washing machine.
