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.

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.

Please dispose of it at your local com­munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap­pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons­ible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per­sonal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tumble
dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam­age to the tumble dryer.

In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the tumble dryer as well as the safety instruc­tions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.

Correct application

 This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and

similar working and residential environments.

 This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must be used only as a domestic appliance to dry items which

have been washed in a water solution and which are marked on the
manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. If us­ing dry cleaning kits, 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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced phys-

ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or know­ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con­sequences of incorrect operation.

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 the tumble dryer unsu-

pervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble

dryer unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do

not let them play with it.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and the “Technical

data”.

 Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-

ible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.

 Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electri­cian.

 Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be as-

sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

 The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re­quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring
system tested 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat
and are a fire hazard.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-

ginal spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

 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 warranty.

 The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to

disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.

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

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

 The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

 Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by
the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to a higher temper­ature level and liquefied by condensing, is led in a closed circuit
through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circu­lating drying air takes place.

 Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer wait for at least one hour before

switching it on.

- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the dryer.

- The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

- This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Her­metically sealed.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after

installation.

 This 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.

 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 it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or the Miele Service Department.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 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.

 The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 9.0 kg (dry weight).

The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are
given in the Programme chart.

 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.

 Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying pro-

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

 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.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 floor cloths) which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acet­one, alcohol, benzene, 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 suffi­cient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash
the items several times.

 Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

14

Warning and Safety instructions

 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).

- Items 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 it
igniting in the dryer.

 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.

 Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the

tumble dryer to tip up.

 The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.
 The fluff filters or the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after

cleaning. Wet fluff/plinth filters could cause operational faults while
drying.

15

Warning and Safety instructions

 The tumble dryer must not be used without fluff filters or

- with damaged fluff filters, or

- with a damaged plinth filter.

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

 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 if con­sumed.

 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.
 Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

16

Warning and Safety instructions

Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)

 Only use genuine Miele original fragrance flacons.
 The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please

make sure you retain this.

 Caution. The fragrance can leak out of the flacon. Make sure that

you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted
in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place
down on any surface.

 Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has

leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer com­ponents (e.g. the fluff filter) immediately.

 If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon: comes into contact

with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; comes
in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least
15minutes; is swallowed - rinse out the mouth thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical advice in the case of contact with the
eyes or if fragrance has been swallowed.

 If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon comes in contact

with clothing, change the clothing immediately. Wash the clothing or
any cloths used for mopping up fragrance thoroughly with plenty of
water and detergent.

 There is the risk of fire or damage to the tumble dryer if the follow-

ing instructions are not observed:

- Never refill a flacon with fragrance.

- Never use a faulty fragrance flacon.

 Dispose of an empty fragrance flacon with the household waste

and never use it for any other purpose.

 Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance

flacon.

17

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

 Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance
and product liability claims will be invalidated.

 The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine

in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit (avail­able to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine is
required.

 If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as

an optional accessory - depending on country), make sure it is the
correct one.

 Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli­ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Miele@home

Your tumble dryer is equipped with an
integrated WiFi module.

In order to use it you need:

- a WiFi network

- the Miele@mobile app

- a Miele user account. The user ac­count can be created via the
Miele@mobile app.

The Miele@mobile app will guide you as
you connect your tumble dryer to your
home WiFi network.

- Calling up information on the operat­ing status of your tumble dryer

- Calling up information on the pro­gramme sequence of your tumble
dryer

Connecting your tumble dryer to your
WiFi network will increase energy con­sumption, even when the tumble dryer
is switched off.

Before installing the tumble dryer in
its final location, ensure the signal
strength is sufficient for your WiFi
network.

Availability of the WiFi connection

The WiFi connection shares a frequency
range with other appliances (including
microwave ovens and remote control
toys). This can give rise to sporadic or
even complete connection failures.
Therefore, the availability of featured
functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele@mobile app
depends on the availability of the
Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not avail­able in every country.

For information about availability,
please visit www.miele.com.

Energy saving tips

Energy saving tips

This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following meas­ures as the drying time is not exten­ded unnecessarily.

- Make sure your laundry is spun at the
maximum spin speed before drying.
The higher the spin speed, the
greater the savings that can be made
in energy and time during drying, e.g.
approx. 20% 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. This will
mean that the energy consumption
for the amount of laundry is at its
most economical.

- 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.

- If possible, make use of time-vari­able, low-cost electricity tariffs. Ask
your energy supplier for information.
Your tumble dryer's delay start func­tion will be useful as you can select
when during the next 24 hours you
want drying to start automatically.

- Clean the fluff filters in the door open­ing after every drying cycle.

Please refer to “Cleaning and care” for
information on cleaning the fluff filters
and the plinth filter.

Energy consumption

–– ––––––––

EcoFeedback

You can view information about the en­ergy consumption of your tumble dryer
in the pull-down menu.

The following information will appear in
the display:

- An estimate of the energy consump­tion before the programme begins.

- The actual energy consumption dur­ing the programme or at the end of
the programme.

 Open the pull-down menu.

1. Estimate

The estimated energy consumption
level will be displayed as a bar chart
before the programme starts.

2. Actual consumption

The actual energy consumption can
be viewed during the programme or at
the end of the programme.

If the energy consumption is too low, <

0.1 kWh will be displayed.

The consumption will alter as the pro­gramme progresses.

At the end of the programme, before
opening the door, you can also call up
the filter soiling level in % in the display.

Filter soiling
0% = light
50% = medium
100% = heavy
Increased soiling will cause the pro­gramme duration to increase which in
turn will increase energy consumption.

If the door is opened or the machine
has switched off automatically at the
end of the programme, the data will
revert to the estimated consumption.

Tip: You can view the consumption
data for the last drying programme and
for total consumption (see “Settings –
Consumption”).

The more bars visible, the higher the
energy consumption.

The estimate will vary depending on the
drying programme, temperature and
any extra options selected.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Points to note regarding washed laundry

- When washing very heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high temperat­ure. If in doubt, wash the items sev­eral times.

- Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Make sure 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.

- 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.

- Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.

 Risk of fire due to incorrect use

and operation.
The laundry can burn and destroy

the dryer and the surroundings.
See “Warning and Safety” instruc-

tions for further information.

- Sort the laundry according to the type
of fibre and weave, size, garment
care label symbol and the drying level
required.

- Check seams and stitching to ensure
that padding and linings are intact.
This way you will avoid the danger of
fillings coming out. These could catch
fire when being dried.

- Disentangle the laundry.

- Tie together textile belts and ties.

- Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.

- Fasten hooks and eyes.

- Leave jackets open and undo any
long zips so that textiles dry evenly.

Preparing the laundry before drying

 Damage due to foreign objects

which were not removed from the
laundry.

Foreign objects can melt, burn, or
explode.

Ensure that any foreign objects, e.g.
detergent dispensing balls, lighters,
etc. have been removed from the
laundry.

- Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.

- If necessary, reduce the size of the
load for these types of fabric. Easy
care fabric tends to crease more, the
larger the load. This is particularly the
case for garments made from very
fine weave fabric, such as shirts or
blouses.

29

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Drying

Tip: See the “Programme chart”.

It lists all programmes and their max­imum load.

- Always observe the maximum recom­mended load for each programme.
This will mean that the energy con­sumption for the amount of laundry is
at its most economical.

- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, de­pending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.

- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the fab­ric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.

- Woollens and wool blends are sus­ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these tex­tiles.

- Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under­wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Do not
overdry these fabrics to prevent fur­ther shrinking. Buy jersey garments
that are one or two sizes bigger.

2. Load the tumble dryer

Loading the laundry

Preventing textile damage.
Before loading, read chapter “1.

Notes on correct laundry care”.

 Check that the drum is empty. Re-

move any items that might be block­ing the drum.

 Unfold the laundry and load loosely

into the drum.

2 positions for inserting fragrance flacons

The “Fragrance flacon” chapter de­scribes how to use the fragrance
flacon.

If you are not using a fragrance flacon:
push the tab down completely (see ar­row) so that the socket is closed. Oth­erwise, lint will accumulate here.

Close the door

Do not overload the drum. Overload­ing can cause unnecessary wear and
tear to the laundry and give a disap­pointing drying result. It can also
cause more creasing.

This can result in damage to the
laundry.

When closing the door, make sure
that laundry does not get trapped in
the door opening.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.

dried at a lower temperature. The pro­gramme duration is longer.

Freshen up

You can use the Freshen up option to
help remove or reduce odours in clean
(dry or damp) clothing.

The drying air is heated for a specific
length of time. After this, the garments
are aired to the Normal drying level
without any more heat being added.
The drying level cannot be altered.

The option will be more effective if you
dampen the garments a little before­hand, use a fragrance flacon and re­duce the load. Please note that odours
will not be removed as effectively from
parts of garments made of synthetic
fibres.

Wash2Dry

Function

Once the programme has come to a
proper end, the Miele washing ma­chine transfers the programme data
via the router to which the networked
tumble dryer is also connected, as
well as transferring it to the Miele
Cloud.
The tumble dryer automatically sets a
drying programme tailored to the laun­dry based on the transferred pro­gramme data.

All you need to do is start the drying
programme once you have loaded the
tumble dryer. No further programme
settings are required on the tumble
dryer.

The drying programme must be star­ted within 24 hours of the end of the
wash programme. The data will be
kept available for the tumble dryer
during this period, but will be overwrit­ten when a new wash programme
ends.

Tip: Do not disconnect the tumble dryer
from the network. The programme data
transferred by the washing machine will
be received by the tumble dryer as
soon as you select Wash2Dry.
If you have disconnected the appliance
from the network beforehand, this will
cause a delay in receiving the data.

Requirements for use

In order to use the Wash2Dry function, the Miele washing machine and tumble dryer must be networked using Miele@home services.

Tip: Set up Miele@home as described
in “Before using for the first time”.

Tip: You can select the Wash2Dry func-
tion in the main menu.
To make the Wash2Dry function visible,
you have to enable it once. See “Set­tings”, “Wash2Dry”.

Selecting the
Wash2Dry function

Please wait lights up in the display of

the tumble dryer while the wash pro­gramme is running.

Once the washing machine programme
has come to a proper end, the drying

Condensed water container

Preparing the condensed wa­ter container for the Steam
Care programme

During the Steam Care programme,
the condensed water collected in the
condensed water container is sprayed
into the drum via a spray jet. The con­densed water container must therefore
be filled with water to at least the
–min– marker. Otherwise, this could
cause a fault.

The –min– marker is at the front left­hand side of the container.

1 spout, 2 rubber seal

 Pour the water in through the rings on

the spout 1.

The spray jet in the door opening can
suffer a blockage.

It should only be filled with clean wa­ter. The water must not contain any
fragrance, detergent, or other sub­stances.

Make use of the condensed water
which collects during the drying pro­cess.

Filling the empty condensed water container

 You can fill the condensed water con-

tainer with commercially available
condensed water (ironing water).

You should only use tap water in excep­tional circumstances. If tap water is
used frequently, the spray jet in the
door opening can become calcified.

52

If tap water is used frequently, white
limescale deposits can build up on the
rubber seal 2.

 Use a damp cloth to carefully remove

any limescale deposits from the rub­ber seal 2.

Fragrance flacon

FragranceDos

Fragrance flacons (optional accessor­ies) can be used to give your laundry a
pleasant scent.

This dryer has 2 places for inserting
fragrance flacons. This gives you a
choice of how to use them.

- You can use both positions if you
wish to change from one scent to an­other. You can close the fragrance
flacon that you are not using.

- Use both positions if you want a more
intense scent of the same fragrance.
Or if you wish to conveniently switch
between a scent for normal laundry
and DryFresh to freshen up your laun­dry.

- Use one socket only if you only want
to use the one fragrance.

 Risk of fire and damage to health

if fragrance flacons are used incor­rectly.

The leaked fragrance can damage
your health if it comes into contact
with your body. Leaked fragrance
can cause fire.

Before using a fragrance flacon,
please read “Warnings and safety
notes”, “Using the fragrance flacon
(optional accessory)”.

Removing the protective seal from the fragrance flacon

Unsatisfactory drying results

Problem 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 programme.
 Select a more suitable programme next time.

Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some
programmes. See “Settings”.

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 air them.
 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

conditioner 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 and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.

 See “Cleaning and care”.

66

The drying cycle duration is very long

Problem Cause and remedy

The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.*

The room where the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.

 Ventilate the room thoroughly.

Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil­ters.

 Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter.
 Remove visible fluff from the heat exchanger.

The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up.
The drum is too full.

 Disentangle the laundry and remove a few items.
 Start a programme.

The bottom right grille is blocked.
 Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away

from the dryer.

The laundry is too damp.
 Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-

chine.

Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the
tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry
moisture level.

 Open any zips next time.

Problem solving guide

Replacing the plinth filter

The heat exchanger can clog up.
Replace the plinth filter immediately

if you see the following signs of wear
before or after cleaning (optional ac­cessory).

Poor fit

The edges of the plinth filter do not sit
properly and the plinth filter is out of
shape. Fluff will blow into the heat ex­changer unfiltered through edges that
do not sit properly. This will, in time,
cause a blockage in the heat ex­changer.

Deformations

Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu­ous use.

70

Problem solving guide

Cracks, tears, indentations

Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
through cracks and tears. This will, in
time, cause a blockage in the heat ex­changer.

White residues or residues of other col­ours

These residues arise from laundry fibres
and traces of detergent components.
They can be found on the front and side
edges of the plinth filter. In extreme
cases, they can form stubborn crust.
Residues are a sign that the plinth filter
no is longer a snug fit at the sides, even
if it appears to be perfect:
fluff is getting in unfiltered at the edges.

Reactivate the plinth filter. If these
residues appear on the plinth filter again
soon after cleaning, the plinth filter must
be replaced.

71

Problem solving guide

Reactivating the plinth filter

You can reactivate one or more soiled
plinth filters in a washing machine. You
will then be able to use the plinth filter
again.

Prior to reactivation, check that the
plinth filter is in good order. Check the
plinth filter following the instructions
provided in “Problem solving guide –
Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the
plinth filter if it has worn out.

 Wash the plinth filter(s) separately,

not with any laundry items. Do not
add any detergent.

 Select a short wash programme with

a maximum temperature of 40°C and
a maximum spin speed of 600rpm.

You can re-insert the plinth filter once
the wash and spin cycles are complete.

Checking the heat exchanger

 Risk of injury from sharp cooling

fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins with

your hands.

 Look to see if fluff has accumulated.

Remove any fluff you can see.

 Damage due to incorrect clean-

ing of the heat exchanger.
The tumble dryer will not dry if the

cooling fins are damaged or bent.
Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a

Transporting the tumble dryer to its installation site

Transporting the tumble dryer

 Danger of injury to people and

damage to property caused by mov­ing the appliance incorrectly.

If the tumble dryer tips up there is a
danger of injury to people and dam­age to property.

Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable
during transportation.

 Make sure the fixings at the back

of the lid are secure.
Otherwise there is a danger of the lid

being pulled off when carrying the
appliance.

Before carrying the appliance check
that the lid is secure where it pro­trudes at the back of the appliance.

 Carry the tumble dryer by the front

feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the appliance.

77

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Installation

Levelling the dryer

Ensure that no closeable door, slid­ing door, or an oppositely hinged
door is installed that would hinder
the door of the dryer being opened in
any way.

The dryer must stand perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.

Downtime after installation

 Damage to the tumble dryer by

switching it on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer wait

for at least one hour before switching
it on.

Ventilation

The cool air intake at the front of the
tumble dryer must not be blocked or
covered. This would hinder a suffi­cient intake of cool air for the heat
exchanger.

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 tumble dryer.

The hot air that is blown out from the
heat exchanger warms the room air. En­sure sufficient ventilation of the room:
e.g., open the window. The drying time
will otherwise take longer (higher energy
requirement).

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

78

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. Recommendation: 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.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Electrical connection

The tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable switched
socket.

The socket must be easily accessible
after the tumble dryer has been in­stalled. If that is not possible, ensure
that a suitable means of disconnection
is provided on the installation side for
each pole.

 Risk of fire from overheating.

Connecting the tumble dryer to a
multi-socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.

For safety reasons, do not use an ex­tension lead or multi-socket plug ad­apter.

The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK). We recommend
the use of a suitable RCD .

Do not connect the tumble dryer to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous energy source, e.g.
solar power. When the tumble dryer is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. This could dam­age the electronic module.

If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer Ser­vice Department). For safety reasons,
such replacement may only be carried
out by a qualified technician or the
Miele Customer Service Department.

The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appropri­ate fuse rating. Compare the specifica­tions on the data plate with those of the
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.

If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec­trician.

disposed of or sold, or if a used tumble
dryer is being put into operation. This is
the only way to ensure that all personal
data has been removed and the previ­ous owner will no longer be able to ac­cess the tumble dryer.

A new connection setup has to be car­ried out in order to use the Miele@home
setting again.

SmartGrid

The SmartGrid setting is only visible if
the Miele@home setting is set up and
activated.

This function can be used for starting
your tumble dryer automatically at a
time when your energy costs are most
economical.

Activating SmartGrid gives the Delay
start button a new function. Use the
“Delay start” control to set the

SmartGrid. The tumble dryer will then

start within the timeframe specified
when it receives a signal from the en­ergy supplier.
If it has not received a signal from the
energy supplier by the latest start time
set, the tumble dryer will start automat­ically (see “Delay start”).

SmartGrid is deactivated as standard.

Remote control

The Remote control setting is only vis­ible if the Miele@home setting is set up
and activated.

Once the Miele@mobile app has been
installed on your mobile device, you
can check the status of your tumble
dryer from anywhere and start it re­motely. You can also control it re­motely via the MobileStart pro­gramme.

You can switch off the Remote control
setting if you do not want to operate the
tumble dryer with your mobile device.

If Remote control is not switched on, the
app can cause the programme to be
cancelled.

Use the “Delay start” button to set a
time at which you wish to start the
tumble dryer and start the delay start
(see “Delay start/SmartStart”).
The tumble dryer will then start within
the timeframe specified when it receives
your signal.
If it has not received a start signal by
the latest start time set, the tumble
dryer will start automatically.
