Installation  
Installation beneath a counter  
Reinstallation of the machine lid  
When reinstalling the appliance lid,  
check the firm fit of the cover at the rear  
bracket for a safe transport of the dryer.  
,When the machine lid needs to  
be removed to reduce the height of  
the machine, a built-under spacer  
kit* is necessary.  
It must be installed by a Miele  
Service Technician.  
The cover plate of the built-under kit  
replaces the appliance lid and  
ensures electrical safety.  
An installation manual is supplied with  
the built-under spacer kit.  
The electrical connection should be  
near the dryer and accessible at all  
times.  
Extended machine feet* are  
recommended at a built-in height of  
more than 33 1/16" (840 mm).  
^ Set the extended machine feet on a  
height of 1 9/16" (40 mm).  
Remove the original machine feet  
and replace them with the extended  
ones.  
One or two filler frames* are  
recommended at a niche height of  
34 1/4" / 34 13/16" to 36" / 36 5/8"  
(870/885 - 915/930 mm).

Installation tips  
Level the dryer  
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must  
be provided between the machine  
and the floor. This airflow gap must  
not be blocked by a toe-kick or thick  
piled carpets.  
Sufficient venting of the installation  
site, e.g. by opening a window or  
door, is essential for the dryer's  
operation. Otherwise drying times  
and energy usage may increase.  
Do not install the dryer next to a  
refrigerator. The warm air which  
emanates from the dryer can affect  
the thermostat of the refrigerator,  
causing it to run continuously.  
^ The dryer must be level to ensure  
safe and proper operation.  
Room ventilation  
The room air, which is taken in when  
the dryer is in operation, is blown out  
via the exhaust grill on the bottom front.  
This dry air heats the air in the room. It  
is important, particularly if the room is  
small, to ensure adequate ventilation.  
Opening a door or window, for  
example, will improve supply of cooler  
air. Otherwise drying times and energy  
usage may increase.  
^ The machine can be leveled by  
turning the legs clockwise or  
counterclockwise as necessary.

water is pumped into the condensed  
water container through the drain hose

a sink or a standpipe so that the  
condensed water container does not  
have to be emptied.
