Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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 valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
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 speed, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying, e.g. approx. 30% energy can be saved if spun at 1600 rpm instead of 1000 rpm.
– 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 the room temperature is
not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the tumble dryer is located, make sure the room is well-ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.
– After every cycle remove the fluff
from the fluff filters in the door and in the door opening.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to

Warning and Safety instructions
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting.

Correct use

Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.
To avoid the possible danger of fire, please read these warnings carefully.
A clogged filter is a fire hazard! The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 kg (dry weight). See
the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.
To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a
controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device). If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 contaminated with vegetable or cooking oil, or 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.
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).
– 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.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Warning: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the
programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up or spread it out to cool it down.
Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles 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 fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it 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 self­igniting). 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.
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.
10
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 wet cleaning. Do not
replace them if they are damp or wet. 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 hoses.
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 heat exchanger over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.

Tips on drying

Overloading can cause
unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.
Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the “Programme chart”. Never overload the drum.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer to dry them; spin them thoroughly for at least 30 seconds after washing.
– Use the Automatic plus programme
for drying mixed loads of cottons and minimum iron fabrics.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can, however, be “fluffed up” in the Woollens handcare programme.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the items. They can be partially dried using the Gentle smoothing programme.
– Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the garment care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not overdry these textiles. When purchasing these garments, it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.
– Minimum iron fabric tends to crease
more, the larger the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses. If necessary, select Minimum iron and reduce the size of the load.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
– New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from light coloured garments to avoid the danger of colours running and discolouring other garments or even plastic components in the dryer. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

How to dry correctly

Brief instructions

The headings numbered (, , ...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide to using your dryer.

Preparing the laundry

Separate out the washed laundry and sort it according to: . . . the drying level required, . . . the type of fibre or weave, . . . size, . . . the moisture content after spinning. In this way an even drying result will be achieved.
Make sure that objects e.g.
detergent dispensing balls have been removed from the laundry. They could melt, and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.
– Check seams and stitching to ensure
that padding and linings are intact.

Loading the tumble dryer

Press the Door button to open the
door.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. See
the “Programme chart” for recommended loads for each programme. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.
Before closing the door, make sure
the fluff filter is correctly positioned in the door.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
– Fasten hooks and eyes.
– Fasten any loose belts and ties.
– Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.

Unsatisfactory drying results

Problem Possible cause and 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 types of fabric. Finish drying using the Warm air timed drying
programme.
Select a more suitable programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the drying levels for some programmes (see “Programmable functions”).
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent. Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and aerate.Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory) for your favourite fragrance.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge. Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
softener to the final rinse in the washing programme.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form. Fluff is collected by the fluff filters in the door and door opening and can be easily removed.
See “Cleaning and care”.

Installation site

Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after installation.
The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.

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.
38
Installation and connection

Building under a continuous worktop / in a kitchen run

Building under kits must only be
installed/dismantled by a suitably qualified fitter.
– A special building-under conversion
kit* with a cover plate to replace the appliance lid is required. It must be fitted by a Miele approved technician to ensure electrical safety. N.B. If you wish to push your appliance under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the building under kit is not necessary. Otherwise it is essential.
– Fitting instructions are supplied with
the conversion kit.
– N.B. When built under, drying times
may be longer.
– The electrical socket must be located
in an accessible position near the appliance.

Levelling the dryer

The appliance must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
With niche heights of:
– 830-840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.
– 870-885 / 915-930 mm, one or two
raising kits* are required.
* accessory available to order

Washer and dryer stack

The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer­dryer stack. The appropriate Miele washer-dryer “WTV” stacking kit* is required.
* accessory available to order
The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for unevenness in the floor.
39
Installation and connection
The gap between the base of the
dryer and the floor must not be minimised by a plinth or thick-piled carpet as this would prevent a sufficient intake of cold air.
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.
Do not obstruct the cool air
intake at the front with a laundry basket or other objects.
This would hinder a sufficient intake of cool air for the condenser unit.

Room ventilation

Cool air taken in for the drying process is expelled from the front of the dryer and heats up the air in the room. Ensure that the room has sufficient ventilation, e.g. by opening a window. Otherwise drying durations may be longer.

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 of 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 Warm air programme for approximately 1 minute before moving the tumble dryer. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
40

Externally draining condensed water

Notes

When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose which is located at the back of the dryer.
The condensed water can also be drained away via the drain hose 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

The following optional accessories are available:

– an extension hose,
– a non-return valve kit for connection
to an external water outlet. The kit includes an extension hose.

Arranging the drain hose

Do not pull on the drain hose
and do not stretch it or allow it to become kinked.
This could damage the hose.
There will be a small amount of residual water left in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this.
Pull the drain hose off its connection.Allow any residual water to run into
the container.
42
Unwind the hose and pull it carefully
out of the holders.
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 or basin, 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.
Guide the hose to the right or left side
of the dryer, as required.
Leave the hose in the middle holder to prevent it from being kinked inadvertently.
Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent
the drain hose from becoming kinked.
