in mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
tumble dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
In countries where there are areas

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following must not be dried in this
tumble dryer:
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
– 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.
– 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.
– 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.
– items which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or
other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
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
– items which have been splashed with phase is complete.
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
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.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.
Fabric conditioner and similar
~
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.

tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust
– without the fluff filters in place or if
the fluff filters are damaged in any
way.
drawn into the tumble dryer can cause
blockages in the heat exchanger unit
over time.
– without the fine filters in place or if
the fine filters are damaged in any
way.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
~
door, as this can cause the tumble
dryer to tip up.
This would cause an excessive
build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.
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.
After every cycle remove fluff from
~
the surfaces of the fluff filters (see
"Cleaning and Care").
– pets or other small animals climbing
into it.
The fluff filters and the fine filter must
~
be thoroughly dried after cleaning.
Damp or wet filters could cause
operational faults.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed
~
down.
Accessories
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.
Only use genuine Miele spare parts
~
and accessories with this tumble dryer.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
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

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

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

Programme duration / Estimated time
remaining
When a programme is selected the
estimated drying time will appear in the
display. Please be aware that it is only
an estimate!
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 tumble dryer 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.
Various settings are made via the Menu
buttons.
They are used to alter or confirm the
value displayed above the vertical line.
In the same way, some programmes
can finish earlier than expected if a
certain temperature is reached. This
can happen with particularly fine
fabrics, very small loads or if items
were partly dry beforehand.

underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry
these textiles. When purchasing
these garments it is advisable to take
their shrinkage properties into
account.
Drying is carried out at a low
temperature in every
programme, so you do not need
to sort your garments according
to whether they have the q or

finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer . Spin fabrics for
– 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.
approx. 30 seconds before drying.
– Use the Automatic+ programme for
drying mixed loads of cottons and
minimum iron fabrics.

need to hold it by the front feet.
,Only transport the dryer as
shown in the following illustrations.

Installation
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
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.
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.
– Creating a gap for the dryer in the
kitchen furniture plinth facing.
– Creating ventilation gaps in the
kitchen unit.

may be longer.

may be longer.
– The electrical socket must be
located in an accessible position
near the appliance.
With niche heights of:
– 830-840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.
– 870-885 / 915-930 mm, one or two
raising kits* are required.
^ The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
* Miele accessory available to order
Replacing the lid
,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.
If the lid has been removed in order to
fit a coverplate, ensure that, if the lid is
ever replaced, it fits securely into the
rear holders. Otherwise, it is not
properly secure for transport.
Washer-dryer stack
Levelling the appliance
The tumble dryer can also be
combined with a Miele washing
machine in a washer-dryer stack. The
appropriate "WTV" stacking kit
(available to order) to match your dryer
is required.
* Miele accessory available to order
,Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.
The appliance must be perfectly level
to ensure safe and proper operation.

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.

Maximum drain hose length . . . . 4.00 m
^ Pull the hose off its connection (see
arrow).
,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").
^ 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
^ Position the hose to the right or left
hand side as necessary.
,Do not pull on the drain hose and
do not stretch it or allow it to become
kinked as it could get damaged.
Leave the hose in the middle holder to
prevent it from becoming kinked
inadvertently.

Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet
^ See "Front view" illustration.
The drain hose with non-return valve
fitted can be connected directly to a
suitable sink drain outlet.
,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
