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 should 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.

Disposing 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 it
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.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying, and may cause unnecessary
creasing.

– Make sure that the room temperature

is not too high. If there are other heat
producing appliances in the room in
which the dryer is located, make sure
the room is well ventilated and switch
the other appliances off, if possible.

– After every cycle remove fluff from

the surfaces of the fluff filters.

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

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.

Correct application

This tumble dryer is not designed for commercial use. It is

~

intended for use in domestic households and similar working and
residential environments.

The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

~

It must only be used as a domestic appliance to dry items which

dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
incorrect or improper use or operation.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced

~

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are are supervised whilst using it or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble

~

dryer unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use, clean or maintain the

~

tumble dryer without supervision if they have been shown how to do
so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

7

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 frequency) 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 correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed 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).

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

~

by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.

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, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. 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.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

~

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location

~

(e.g. on a ship).

Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless

~

authorised to do so by Miele.

Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

~

The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is
condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through
the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating
drying air takes place.

– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do

not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

length of time before it is put into operation provided it has been
transported correctly (see "Installation").
However, if it has not been transported as described, ensure that
the recommended standing time prior to first operation is
observed. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.

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.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried

~

in this appliance:

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 self-ignite when heated, even after they have been
removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.

– items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with

inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and 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
additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.

Remove all items such as lighters and matches from pockets.

~

Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying

~

programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung
up or spread out to cool it down.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Danger.

~

This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device).
If the dryer programme were to be interrupted before the end of the
cooling down phase, the laundry could self-combust.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:

~

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.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

~

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

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 into the dryer or hiding things in it.

–

pets or other small animals climbing into it.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer must not be used:

~

without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in

–

any way.

without the fine filters in place of if the fine filters are damaged in

–

any way.

This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.

After every cycle remove fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.

~

The fluff filters and the fine 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 and in the
drain hose.

If the water is drained externally 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
heat exchanger unit over time.

The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.

~

Perfect Dry indicator

The Perfect Dry system measures the
residual moisture content in the laundry
in sensor controlled programmes to
ensure perfect drying results.
After a programme has started, the
electronics will estimate the duration of
the programme (time remaining). The
Perfect Dry indicator will flash while this
is happening.
After a short while, the programme
duration will appear in the display and
the indicator will go out.
The Perfect Dry indicator will light up
again when the selected drying level is
reached and remain on until the
programme is finished.
The Perfect Dry indicator does not light
up during time controlled programmes:

Woollens, Proofing, Warm air, Gentle
smoothing.

Estimated time remaining

The estimated duration (time remaining)
will appear in the display.
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.
Programmes can also finish earlier than
expected, if, for example, particularly
fine fabric is being dried, the load is
very small or items were partially dry
beforehand.

Before using for the first time

,

Ensure that the dryer is installed
and connected to the electricity
supply correctly. If the tumble dryer
has not been transported as
described in "Installation and
connection" then it must be left to
stand for at least 1 hour before it is
connected to the electricity supply.

25

Cleaning and care

Make sure you clean all the
filters at the correct intervals

This tumble dryer has a multi-stage
filter system, consisting of the fluff

filters and a fine filter.

This dryer must not be used

–

without the fluff filters or fine filter
in place.
The grille in the bottom right must
always be in place.

Make sure that the fluff filters and

–

the fine filter are not damaged.
Replace them immediately, if they
are damaged in any way.

If the above instructions are not

,

observed, an excessive build-up of
fluff can occur which in turn can
cause a fault.

When to clean the surfaces of the
fluff filters

Clean the surfaces of the fluff filters
after each drying programme.

The fluff filters located in the door
and the door opening collect fluff

An unsatisfactory drying result

Problem Possible cause Remedy

The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.

Laundry or feather
filled pillows smell
after drying.

Items made of
synthetic fibres are
charged with static
electricity after
drying.

There is a build-up of
fluff.

The load consisted of
different fabrics.

Note: You can alter the
residual moisture level for
some programmes

Laundry was washed

–

with insufficient
detergent.

– Feathers are a natural

product and this is quite
normal.

Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.

Fluff is principally the result
of friction when garments
are being worn and to some
extent when they are being
washed. Machine drying
causes less fluff to form.

Finish drying using the

–

Warm air programme.
Select a different

–

programme next time.

See "Programmable
functions".

Laundry: Use sufficient

–

detergent.

– Pillows: The smell will

dissipate after airing.

Static charge can be
reduced by adding 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 fluff
filters and can be removed
easily (see "Cleaning and
care").

Installation and connection

Installation site

Make sure the dryer door can be

,

opened without hindrance after
installation.

The cool air intake panel at the

,

front of the dryer must not be
blocked or covered, e.g. by a
laundry basket, as this would cause
a fault.

Building under a continuous worktop/
in a row of kitchen units

It is very important to avoid a

,

build-up of heat.
The warm air which is expelled from
the rear of the dryer must be able to
dissipate.
Warm air which cannot dissipate
could cause a fault.

A build-up of heat can be avoided by:

–

Adjusting the screw feet so that there
is a gap of at least 20 mm between
the floor and the bottom of the dryer.

–

Creating a gap for the dryer in the
kitchen furniture plinth facing.

–

Creating ventilation gaps in the
kitchen unit.

N.B. When built under, drying times
may be longer.

The dryer should not be installed

,

next to a refrigeration appliance. The
warm air expelled from the rear of
the dryer would increase the
temperature around the refrigeration
appliance's heat exchanger causing
the compressor to run continuously.
If it is not possible to install the dryer
anywhere else, then the refrigeration
appliance must be sealed off from
the dryer.

A building-under kit (Miele

,

accessory, available to order) with a
coverplate to replace the
appliance´s lid is required. It must
be fitted by a suitably qualified
person to ensure electrical safety.

N.B. If you wish to push the tumble
dryer under a worktop and there is
space to do this without removing
the lid the building-under kit is not
necessary. Otherwise the
building-under kit is essential.

–

The building-under kit is supplied
with its own installation instructions.

–

N.B. When built under, drying times
may be longer.

–

The electrical socket must be
located in an accessible position
near the appliance.

With niche heights of:

42

–

830-840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.

–

870-885 / 915-930 mm, one or two
raising kits* are required.

* Miele accessory available to order

Installation and connection

Levelling the appliance

The appliance must be perfectly level
to ensure safe and proper operation.

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 tumble 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
it. Any remaining condensed water will
then be fed into the condensed water
container or out through the drain hose.

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* to
match your dryer is required.

* Miele accessory available to order

,

Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.

^

The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.

,

Do not block the gap between
the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep
pile carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.

43

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.

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 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.

45

Installation and connection

using nut 2.

If this nut has a flat disc in it you
should take the disc out first.

Attach the end of 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
