Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and
damage to property caused by mov-
ing the appliance incorrectly.
If the tumble dryer tips up there is a
danger of injury to people and dam-
age to property.
Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable
during transportation.
If the tumble dryer is being transpor-
ted on its side, it must be tipped onto
its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being transpor-
ted upright and you are using a hand
truck, you must transport it with its
left or right side resting on the truck.
Transporting the tumble dryer to its
installation site
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 pro-
trudes 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.

Installation
Levelling the tumble dryer
Ensure that no closeable door, slid-
ing door or an oppositely hinged
door is installed that would hinder
the door of the tumble dryer being
opened in any way.
The tumble dryer must stand perfectly
level to ensure safe and proper opera-
tion.
The screw feet can be adjusted to com-
pensate for unevenness in the floor.
Risk of fire and explosion due to
damage to the tumble dryer.
The refrigerant is flammable and ex-
plosive.
Do not make any alterations to the
tumble dryer. Take measures to pro-
tect the tumble dryer against dam-
age.
If the tumble dryer is damaged, proceed
as follows:
- Avoid naked flames or anything
which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer
is located.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service
Department.
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 suffi-
cient 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 suffi-
cient flow of air to the tumble dryer.
The hot air that is blown out from the
heat exchanger warms the room air. En-
sure sufficient ventilation of the room:
e.g., open the window. The drying time
will otherwise take longer (higher energy
requirement).
The heat pump that is essential to
the operation of this tumble dryer
generates a great deal of heat inside
its casing. There must be a reliable
means of dissipating this heat.
Otherwise loads could take longer to
dry or the tumble dryer might sustain
damage in the long term.
Permanent room ventilation during
every drying programme and the gap
between the bottom of the tumble
dryer and the floor are mandatory re-
quirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of con-
densed water will collect in the area of
the pump. This water can run out if the
tumble dryer is tipped up when it is be-
ing 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 wa-
ter container or out through the drain
hose.

Additional installation require-
ments
Risk of injury from an electrical
shock when the appliance lid is re-
moved.
There is a risk of electric shock be-
cause electrically charged compon-
ents in the dryer are accessible with
the lid removed.
For safety reasons, the tumble dryer
must be disconnected from the elec-
tricity supply.
Building under a continuous worktop
or in a cabinet
Appliance defect due to a build-up of
heat.
Make sure there is adequate room
for warm air from the dryer to be dir-
ected away.
- The electrical socket must be located
in an accessible position near the
tumble dryer.
- Drying durations may increase
slightly.
Avoid a build-up of heat:
- Adjust the screw feet so that there is
a gap of at least 20mm between the
floor and the bottom of the dryer.
- Create a gap for the dryer in the kit-
chen furniture plinth facing.
- Create ventilation gaps in the kitchen
cabinet.
Slot-in
This tumble dryer is suitable for pushing
under a worktop if there is space to do
this without removing the lid.
Optional accessories
– Building-under kit
A building under kit is required if the
lid of the tumble dryer needs to be
removed in order to build it under a
worktop.
It must be installed/dismantled by a
suitably qualified fitter.
The cover plate included in the build-
ing-under kit replaces the appliance's
lid. The cover plate has to be fitted for
electrical safety!
Fitting instructions are supplied with the
building-under kit.
– Washer-dryer stack
The tumble dryer can be combined with
a Miele washing machine in a washer-
dryer stack. The appropriate Miele
washer-dryer stacking kit is required.

External condensed water out-
let
Note
When drying is in progress, con-
densed water is pumped into the con-
densed water container through the
drain hose which is located at the
back of the dryer.
The condensed water can also be ex-
ternally drained away via the drain hose
at the back of the dryer. This means
that the condensed water container no
longer has to be emptied.
Drain hose length: 1.49m
Max. delivery head: 1.00m
Max. drain hose length: 4.00m
Drainage accessories
- Supplied: Adapter (b), Hose clip (c),
Hose holder (e);
- Available to purchase: “Non-return
valve” kit for connection to an ex-
ternal water connection. Non-return
valve (d), Hose extension (a) and
Hose clips (c) are supplied.
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
Danger of condensed water
back-flow.
Water could flow back into the
tumble dryer or be drawn into it.
Back-flow water could damage the
tumble dryer and also the room in
which it is located.
The non-return valve should be used
if the end of the hose is immersed in
water, or if other water connections
are installed.
Maximum delivery head with non-return
valve fitted: 1.00m
Installation conditions requiring the fit-
ting of a non-return valve:
- Drainage into a sink or floor gully
where the end of the hose is im-
mersed in water.
- Connection to a sink drain outlet.
- Connection to a drainage system
already in use by another appliance,
e.g. a dishwasher or washing ma-
chine.
If the non-return valve is incorrectly
fitted the appliance will not drain.
The non-return valve has to be fitted
with the arrow on it pointing in the
direction of flow.

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 in-
stalled. 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 ex-
tension lead or multi-socket plug ad-
apter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK). We recommend
the use of a suitable RCD .
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 Ser-
vice 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 appropri-
ate fuse rating. Compare the specifica-
tions on the data plate with those of the
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
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 dam-
age the electronic module.
