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 oppositely hinged door is
installed that could hinder opening of
the tumble dryer door in any way.
To ensure proper operation, the tumble
dryer must stand perfectly level. The
screw feet on the tumble dryer can be
adjusted to compensate for unevenness
in the floor.
Turn the screw feet by hand or with a
flat open spanner.
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.

Installation
*INSTALLATION*
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
A small quantity of condensed water
that remains in the area around the
pump after the drying process can run
out if the tumble dryer is tilted. Recom-
mendation: start a programme for ap-
prox. 1minute before transporting the
dryer. Any remaining condensed water
will then be fed into the condensed wa-
ter container (which you will need to
empty again) or out through the drain
hose.

Additional installation require-
ments
Slot-in
This tumble dryer is suitable for pushing
under a worktop.
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 appliance lid cannot be removed.
- The electrical socket must be located
in an accessible position near the
tumble dryer.
- Drying durations may increase
slightly.
Optional accessories
– 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.
– Plinth
The tumble dryer can be fitted on a
plinth with drawer (please note the
plinth may not be available in all coun-
tries).

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.

Arranging the drain hose
Damage to the drain hose
through incorrect handling.
The drain hose can suffer damage
and leak.
Do not pull on the drain hose and do
not stretch it or allow it to become
kinked.
There will be a small amount of residual
water left in the drain hose. Have a con-
tainer ready to collect this.
Pull the drain hose off its connection
(light arrow).
Pull the hose out of the holders (dark
arrow) and unwind it.
Allow any residual water to run into a
container.
Examples
Drainage into a sink or floor gully
Use the hose holder to secure the drain
hose.
Water damage.
Should the end of the hose come
loose, overflowing water can cause
damage.
Secure the drain hose carefully (e.g.,
by tying it) to make sure it cannot
slip.
The non-return valve can be fitted in the
end of the hose.

Electrical connection
The tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the tumble dryer has been in-
stalled. If the socket is not easily ac-
cessible, ensure that a suitable means
of disconnection is provided on the in-
stallation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the tumble dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten-
sion lead can overload the mains
connection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable or multi-socket ad-
apter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type A residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical installa-
tion for connecting the tumble dryer.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains 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 spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not syn-
chronised with the mains power supply
(e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation
is that the power supply system com-
plies with the specifications of
EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the pro-
tective measures provided in the do-
mestic electrical installation and in this
Miele product must also be maintained
in isolated operation or in operation that
is not synchronised with the mains
power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in
the installation. As described, for ex-
ample, in the current version of BS OH-
SAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
