Warning and Safety instructions  
the appliance and an effective earthing  
Read the operating instructions  
carefully before using this appliance  
for the first time. They contain impor-  
tant information about the safety, use  
and maintenance of the appliance.  
This way you will avoid the risk of  
accidents and damage to the appli-

system which complies with local and  
national regulations. It is most important  
that this basic safety requirement is  
regularly tested by a qualified electri-  
cian. The manufacturer cannot be held  
responsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-  
tric shock).  
Keep these operating instructions in  
a safe place and ensure that new  
users are familiar with the content.  
Pass them on to any future owner of  
the machine.  
Do not connect the machine to the  
mains electricity supply by an ex-  
tension lead. Extension leads do not  
guarantee the required safety of the  
machine (e.g. danger or overheating).  
The machine is built in accordance  
with current safety requirements.  
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-  
foreseen dangers for the user, for which  
the manufacturer cannot accept re-  
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-  
dertaken by a Miele approved engi-  
neer.  
Correct use  
The tumble dryer is only intended  
for drying fabrics which have been  
washed in a water solution, marked on  
the manufacturer’s wash care label as  
being suitable for tumble drying.  
Any other applications may be danger-  
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for  
damage resulting from improper use or  
operation.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance while maintenance or repair  
work is being carried out.  
Faulty components must only be  
exchanged for Miele original spare  
parts. Only when these parts are fitted  
can the safety standards of the ma-  
chine be guaranteed.  
Technical safety  
Before setting up the machine  
check it for any externally visible  
damage. Do not install or use a dam-  
aged machine.  
If the appliance is supplied from a  
cord extension set or electrical por-  
table outlet device the cord extension  
set or electrical portable outlet device  
should be positioned so it is not subject  
to splashing or ingress of moisture.  
Before connecting the machine,  
ensure that the connection data on  
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-  
quency) matches the mains electricity  
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-  
fied electrician.  
The electrical safety of this ma-  
chine can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between

free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff  
will prevent a free-flow of air through the  
system. If the dryer is to be connected  
to an existing ducting system this must  
be checked for suitability beforehand.  
In the event of a fault or for clean-  
ing purposes, the machine is only  
completely isolated from the electricity  
supply when:  
Adequate ventilation is essential,  
especially where another appli-  
ance which also uses the room air (eg  
gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous  
flow or other water heater) is installed in  
the same or an adjacent room. To en-  
sure safe operation, and to prevent  
gases given off by these appliances  
being drawn back into the room, an  
underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maxi-  
mum permissible. Ventilation can be  
maintained by air inlets which cannot  
be blocked, in windows, doors and out-  
side wall vents, or by an automatic win-  
dow opening arrangement when the  
tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,  
the advice of a competent builder, or  
for gas, a gas fitter must be sought.  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
Operation  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However, it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk assess-  
ment of the installation being carried  
out by a suitably qualified engineer.  
Young children should be super-  
vised to ensure that they do not  
play with the appliance.  
The exhaust air must not be vented  
into a chimney or vent flue which is  
in use, nor should it be connnected to  
ducting which ventilates rooms with fire-  
places. It would be dangerous if smoke  
or exhaust fumes were drawn back into  
the room.  
Do not let small children play with  
the machine or its controls. Super-  
vise its use by the elderly or infirm.  
This dryer must not be:  
Do not install the machine in a  
room where the temperature may  
drop down to or below freezing. At very  
cold temperatures the machine may be  
difficult to start.  
– connected to a chimney or vent flue  
which is in use.  
– used without exhaust ducting.  
– used without the fluff filter in place or  
if the fluff filter is damaged in any  
way.  
Always keep the area around the  
machine free of dust and fluff.  
Check all parts of the extraction  
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall  
vent, external grille, bends in the  
ducting etc.) and make sure they are all

Warning and Safety instructions  
Always close the door after use.  
This way you will avoid the danger  
To minimize the risk of fire in a  
tumble dryer, the following  
should be observed:  
of:  
– anyone sitting or leaning on the door, – Items that have been spotted or  
which can cause the machine to tip  
up,  
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil  
constitute a fire hazard and should  
not be placed in a tumble dryer.  
– children climbing onto or into the  
dryer or hiding things in it.  
Oil-affected items can ignite sponta-  
neously, especially when exposed to  
heat sources such as in a tumble  
dryer. The items become warm,  
causing an oxidation reaction in the  
oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat  
cannot escape, the items can be-  
come hot enough to catch fire.  
Pilling, stacking or storing oil-af-  
fected items can prevent heat from  
escaping and so create a fire haz-  
ard.  
There is danger of fire with fabrics  
which:  
– contain a large proportion of rubber,  
foam rubber or rubber like materials.  
– have been treated with inflammable  
cleaning agents.  
– have been splashed with hair lac-  
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover  
or similar substances.  
– which contain padding or fillings  
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were  
damaged the filling could leak with  
the risk of igniting in the dryer.  
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that  
contain vegetable or cooking oil or  
have been contaminated by hair care  
products be placed in a tumble dryer  
they should first be washed in hot  
water with extra detergent - this will  
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.  
The "cool down" cycle of tumble dry-  
ers should be used to reduce the  
temperature of the items. They  
should not be removed from the tum-  
ble dryer or piled or stacked while  
hot.  
– are soiled with oil or grease.  
In areas which may be subject to  
infestation by cockroaches or other  
vermin, pay particular attention to keep-  
ing the appliance and its surroundings  
in a clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions  
– Items that have been previously  
– Plastic articles such as shower caps  
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or  
spotted with petrol/gasoline,  
dry-cleaning solvents or other flam-  
mable or explosive substances  
should not be placed in a tumble  
dryer.  
or babies’ waterproof napkin covers  
should not be placed in a tumble  
dryer.  
– Rubber-backed articles, clothes fit-  
ted with foam rubber pads, pillows,  
galoshes and rubber-coated tennis  
shoes should not be placed in a tum-  
ble dryer.  
Highly flammable substances com-  
monly used in a domestic environ-  
ments include acetone, denatured al-  
cohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene,  
spot removers (some brands), tur-  
pentine, waxes and wax removers.  
Using accessories  
Accessory parts may only be fitted  
when expressly approved by Miele.  
If other parts are used, guarantee, per-  
formance and product liability claims  
may be invalidated.  
– Items containing foam rubber (also  
known as latex foam) or similarly tex-  
tured rubber like materials should not  
be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat  
setting.  
Foam rubber materials can, when  
heated, produce fire by spontaneous  
combustion.  
– Fabric softeners or similar products  
should not be used in a tumble dryer  
to eliminate the effects of static elec-  
tricity unless this practice is specifi-  
cally recommended by the manufac-  
turer of the fabric softener or  
product.  
– Undergarments that contain metal re-  
inforcements should not be placed in  
a tumble dryer.  
Damage to the tumble dryer can re-  
sult if metal reinforcements come  
loose during drying. When available  
a drying rack could be used for such  
items.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Energy saving tips  
^ Make sure that your laundry is thor-  
oughly spun before drying.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
The higher the spin, the greater the  
savings that can be made in energy  
and time during drying.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
^ Load according to the optimum  
amount of laundry recommended for  
the programme being used (see  
"Programme chart").  
Rather than just throwing these materi-  
als away, please ensure they are of-  
fered for recycling.  
Underloading is uneconomical.  
Overloading gives a poorer quality of  
drying and may cause unnecessary  
creasing.  
Disposal of your old appliance  
^ To avoid unecessarily long drying  
times and high consumption of en-  
ergy:  
Old machines contain materials which  
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please  
contact your dealer, your local waste  
collection centre or scrap merchant  
about potential recycling schemes.  
– Make sure the room in which the  
dryer is located is well ventilated.  
– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-  
fore using the dryer.  
Before discarding an old machine un-  
plug it and render the plug useless. Cut  
off the cable directly behind the appli-  
ance to prevent misuse. This should be  
done by a competent person.  
– Check all parts of the ventilation sys-  
tem on a regular basis and remove  
any build up of fluff etc.  
Ensure that the machine presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
^ The vent ducting should be as short,  
straight and smooth as possible to  
minimise any resistance to the air  
throughflow.  
This helps to reduce running times  
and energy consumption levels.

Notes on laundry care  
Wash care labels  
Pure linen should only be machine  
dried if specified as suitable by the  
manufacturer on the wash care label,  
as the surface of the fabric may other-  
wise "roughen". These items can be  
partially dried using the "Smoothing"  
programme.  
Before drying check the drying sym-  
bol on the wash care label.  
Significance of symbols:  
q Dry at normal temperature  
r Dry at low temperature  
sDo not tumble dry  
Woven and loopknit materials (e.g.  
T-shirts, knitted garments) have a ten-  
dency to shrink, depending on their  
quality and this is made worse by  
over-drying. When purchasing these  
garments it is advisable to take their  
shrinkage properties into account.  
If no symbol is featured, dry at your  
own risk applying the following princi-  
ples:  
Cotton and minimum iron items should  
be dried using the appropriate  
programme for the degree of drying re-  
quired. See programme chart.  
Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton  
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,  
the larger the load being dried,  
For delicates and fabrics with the fol-  
lowing wash care label r you can also  
select the Low temperature option.  
particulary when the weave of the fab-  
ric is very fine. Reduce the load or use  
the Special care Minimum iron - Hand  
iron programme. If this is unsatisfactory  
use the "Smoothing" setting, then hang  
the garments on a hanger to dry.  
Never overload the drum. Always  
observe the maximum recom-  
mended loads given in the  
"Programme chart". Overloading can  
cause unnecessary wear and tear to  
the laundry, give a disappointing  
drying result and cause more creas-  
ing.  
Starched laundry can be dried in the  
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the  
usual finish, double the amount of  
starch should be used.  
New dark coloured garments should be  
dried separately from light coloured  
garments to avoid the danger of col-  
ours running.  
Tips on drying  
Woollens and wool blends tend to be-  
come matted and shrink if dried in a  
tumble dryer. They can, however, be  
partially dried using the Woollens hand  
care programme.  
Items filled with down.  
The fine fabric interior of these items  
may shrink depending on the quality.  
These items can be partially dried us-  
ing the Smoothing programme.

How to dry correctly  
Prepare the laundry  
Do not overload the drum. Over-  
loading can cause unecessary wear  
and tear to the laundry and give a  
disappointing drying result.  
^ As far as possible, sort laundry for:  
- the type of fibre or weave,  
- the degree of dryness required,  
- similar size of items,  
- the moisture content after  
spinning.  
This will help towards achieving an  
even drying result.  
See the "Programme chart" for maxi-  
mum recommended loads.  
^ Before closing the door check that  
the fluff filter is correctly positioned in  
the door.  
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent  
small items from being rolled up inside  
them.  
Do up zips, hooks and eyes etc.  
Tie fabric belts, apron strings.  
Sew in or remove underwiring from  
bras.  
Make sure there is no detergent dis-  
penser ball etc. in with the laundry,  
as this could melt and damage the  
machine and the laundry.  
Load the drum  
and switch on the dryer  
When closing the door make sure  
items of laundry cannot be trapped  
by the door, as this will cause dam-  
age to the laundry.  
^ Press the door button and open the  
door.  
^ Load the laundry loosely into the  
drum.  
^ Shut the door either with a gentle  
swing or lean against it and push it  
shut.  
^ Switch the dryer on by pressing the  
"l-On/0-Off" button.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff filter  
A cleaning brush is available as an  
optional extra from your Miele dealer  
or the Miele Spare Parts Department.  
The fluff which is created by the dry-  
ing process is collected in the fluff fil-  
ter in the door. Clean the filter after  
every drying cycle.  
You can also use a vacuum cleaner.  
^ Once clean, push the filter back into  
the door holder until it clicks into po-  
sition. Ensure it is facing the correct  
way. Close the door.  
If there is a great deal of compacted  
fluff on the filter, it can be cleaned  
under hot running water.  
^ After cleaning shake thoroughly until  
no more water droplets are visible.  
^ Dry the filter carefully.  
^ Push the filter back into the door  
holder until it clicks into position.  
Make sure it is the right way round.  
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter  
out of the door as illustrated.  
Tumble dryer  
Disconnect the machine from the  
power supply.  
^ Clean the housing and control panel  
with a mild cleaning agent or soapy  
water. Clean the drum and other  
stainless steel parts with a suitable  
proprietary stainless steel cleaner fol-  
lowing the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions.  
Never use abrasive cleaning agents,  
solvents, scouring pads, glass or  
general purpose cleaners. These  
could damage plastic surfaces and  
other parts. The machine must never  
be hosed down.  
^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff  
from the surface of the filter.  
^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part  
of the door holder.

Transporting the machine to its  
installation site  
When moving the machine you can  
hold it by the lid where it protrudes to  
the rear of the dryer. To manoeuvre the  
dryer out of its packing case to its in-  
stallation site you will also need to hold  
it by the front feet.  
Aligning the machine  
^ The screw feet can be adjusted to  
compensate for any unevenness in  
the floor.  
A ventilation gap of at least 10 mm  
must be maintained between the  
bottom of the machine and the floor.  
It must not be blocked by deep pile  
carpets, plinths, etc, which would  
prevent a sufficient intake of cold air.  
The machine must be perfectly level to  
ensure safe and proper operation.

a washer-dryer stack. To do this the ap-  
propriate stacking kit* (WTV) to match  
your washing machine is required.  
The machine lid is replaced by a  
coverplate which must be fitted by  
suitably qualified person to ensure  
electrical safety. This kit is supplied  
with installation instructions.  
A washer and dryer should never be  
stacked without using the proper stack-  
ing kit. Doing so is extremely danger-  
ous, as the dryer may vibrate off of the  
washing machine during use.  
– When installing under a 900/910 mm  
high worktop a spacer kit* is re-  
quired.  
– Flat type ducting* is required if there  
is not enough space for a vent duct.  
– The electric socket must be located  
in an accessible position near the  
machine.  
All parts marked * are available from  
the Miele Spare Parts or Sales  
Departement, and must be fitted by a  
suitably competent person according to  
the instructions supplied with the kit.  
When built under running times may be  
longer.  
NOTE:  
If you wish to push your machine under  
a worktop and there is space to do this  
without removing the lid, the coversion  
kit is not necessary. Otherwise the con-  
version kit is essential.  
When building under allow for 625 mm  
to include hoses, lid, facia and door.  
When building the machine in behind

Installation - venting  
General  
Avoid:  
– very long venting systems  
Important  
– too many bends or corners; tight cor-  
ners.  
Before operating the appliance, a  
suitable venting system must be in-  
stalled to carry the moist air from the  
dryer to the outside.  
Otherwise the drying result will not be  
as good and drying will take longer and  
use more energy.  
– Before installing the ducting system,  
ensure that the appliance is not con-  
nected to the power supply.  
Suitable materials for venting  
pipework:  
– flexible vent hose*, plastic piping,  
galvanised steel piping (with a diam-  
eter of at least 100 mm).  
– The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall)  
should be installed in such a way  
that the moist expelled air . .  
. . . cannot be drawn back into the  
room in which the dryer is installed;  
. . . cannot cause a nuisance or any  
damage to the building.  
– for venting directly outside:  
a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*.  
*These can be obtained from the Miele  
Spare Parts department or from build-  
ers’ merchants.  
– Adequate ventilation is essential as  
the dryer uses the room air. Ventila-  
tion can be maintained by:  
- an open window;  
Procedure:  
^ First measure the duct length re-  
quired. Calculate the effective duct  
length and establish the internal duct  
diameter required (use the tables on  
the following pages).  
Longer ducting will require a larger  
duct diameter.  
- an air inlet which cannot be  
blocked in windows, doors  
and outside wall vents;  
- a window switch which prevents  
the dryer being used when the win-  
dow is closed.  
^ Finally decide which venting system  
you are going to install (see "Venting  
systems" in this section).  
28  
 
 
Installation - venting  
Calculating the effective duct  
length:  
duct diameter should be increased (Ta-  
ble II).  
Friction against the inner walls of the  
vent duct will slow down the expelled  
air as it passes through the duct. An el-  
bow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent  
creates more friction than a straight  
duct. The friction created by each of  
these is expressed as an additional  
length factor. The additional length  
factors are calculated by comparing  
the friction created by, for example, an  
elbow to that created by 1 meter of  
straight plastic piping (Table I).  
1. To calculate the effective duct  
length:  
^ First measure the distance which will  
require straight ducting. Multiply this  
amount by the corresponding addi-  
tional duct length factor in Table I.  
^ Establish the number of angles,  
bends etc. necessary and add their  
additional duct length factors to-  
gether with the help of Table I.  
^ Add all the additional duct length fac-  
tors together to give the effective  
duct length.  
The additional duct length factor for  
each item needs to be added together  
to ascertain the effective duct length  
which will be needed for the venting  
system.  
2. Internal duct diameter  
^ Refer to Table II for the appropriate  
duct diameter for the effective duct  
length.  
A larger internal duct diameter also  
helps reduce friction. If the effective  
duct length is more than 20 m the

The best method of venting the dryer  
is to connect it directly to the outside  
wall of a room. However, it is neces-  
sary to insert the wall vent right  
through the wall.  
Because the vented air is blown di-  
rectly outside, and has only a short  
distance to go, this system is very ef-  
ficient in terms of time and energy  
consumption.

Installation - venting  
Main venting duct  
We recommend that when several dry-  
ers are being installed each dryer  
should be fitted with one non-return flap  
installed directly on the main venting  
duct (R, upper picture). Extra Miele  
equipment is required for this purpose.  
When up to five dryers are being in-  
stalled, the pipe diameter D must be in-  
creased according to Table III.
