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. Therefore,
please do not 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 the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.
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.
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.

Check the condenser unit from time
to time and clean it when necessary.

recognising the dangers of incorrect
use.
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 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 avoid the possible danger of
,
fire please read these warnings
carefully.
A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
,
The lint filter must be cleaned after
every program.
Remove all objects from pockets
~
such as lighters and matches.
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 that have been soiled with
–
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g.
mops and floor cloths)should be
washed in hot water with extra
amount of detergent before being
dried in the tumble dryer.
Items which have been splashed
–
with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish 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.
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.
Piling, 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles or products must not
be dried in this tumble dryer:
Items which have been dry-cleaned
–
(for example with a chemical
treatment).
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.
– Fabrics 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.
9
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.

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

Fluff is principally the
result of friction when

Static charge can be
reduced by adding a

Installation
Replacing the lid
If the lid has been removed in order to
fit a coverplate, ensure that, if the lid is
ever replaced, it fits securely into the
rear holders. Otherwise, it is not
properly secure for transport.
Levelling the machine
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
42
^
The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
,
The air inlet and outlet vents on
the front of the machine must not be
covered as this would prevent
sufficient ventilation for cooling the
condenser unit.
The gap between the base of the
,
dryer and the floor must not be
minimised by a plinth or thick-piled
carpet as this will prevent a
sufficient intake of cold air.
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 front 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. The
appropriate "WTV" stacking kit
(available to order) to match your dryer
is required.
Installation
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 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.
,
Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.
43
Installation
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 machine 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").
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.
^
There will be a small amount of
residual water in the drain hose.
Have a container ready to collect this.
44
^
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.
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.
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
Certain installation conditions
,
require the fitting of a non-return
valve (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.

If this nut has a flat disc in it you
should take the disc out first.
Attach the end of the hose 4 to
^
adapter 1.
Use a screwdriver to tighten hose
^
clip 3 up close to the nut.
Non-return valve 5 has to be
,
fitted with the arrow pointing in the
direction of flow (i.e. towards the
sink). Otherwise water will not drain
out of the machine.
^ Fit non-return valve 5 to the tumble
dryer drain hose 6 (make sure it is
fitted in the correct direction (see
arrow on non-return valve).
^ Secure the non-return valve using
hose clips.

Installation
Electrical connection
This tumble dryer is supplied ready for
connection to an a.c. single phase
supply. The machine is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug.
The accesibility of the plug must be
always ensured, in order to separate
the dryer from the mains.
The appliance should be connected up
only by a qualified electrician, in
accordance with national and local
safety regulations.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA.
