Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and damage to property caused by moving the appliance incorrectly. If the tumble dryer tips over, there is a danger of injury to people and damage to property. Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable during transportation.
- If the tumble dryer is being transported horizontally, it must only be tipped onto its left or right side.
- If the tumble dryer is being transported upright and you are using a handcart or trolley, you must only transport it with its left or right side resting on the handcart or trolley.
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 protrudes 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.
Levelling the dryer
- The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
- Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.
- The appliance must stand perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation.
- The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion due to damage to the tumble dryer. The refrigerant is flammable and explosive. Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer. Take measures to protect the tumble dryer against damage.
If the tumble dryer is damaged, proceed as follows:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the dryer from the electricity supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer is located.
- Contact Miele Customer Service.
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 sufficient 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 sufficient flow of air to the tumble dryer.
- Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
- Air which is taken in to cool the heat exchanger is then blown back out of the dryer and warms up the air in the room. Ensure sufficient ventilation of the room, e.g. by opening a 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 lot of heat inside its casing. It must be possible to dissipate this heat well. 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 ventilation gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor are mandatory requirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the area of
the pump. This water can run out if the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is
being moved. Recommendation: Run the Warm air programme for approximately 1
minute without a load before moving the tumble dryer. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the condensed water container, which can then be
emptied, or can drain out through the drain hose.
Additional installation requirements
Risk of injury from an electrical shock when the appliance lid is removed.
There is a risk of electric shock because electrically charged components in
the dryer are accessible with the lid removed. For safety reasons, the tumble
dryer must be disconnected from the electricity supply.
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 directed away.
This tumble dryer is suitable for pushing under a worktop if there is space to do this without removing the lid.
- The appliance lid must not be removed.
- The electrical socket must be located in an accessible position near the appliance.
- Drying durations may increase slightly.
Optional accessories
Building-under kit
A building-under kit is required if the tumble dryer lid 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 building-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 also 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 installed on a plinth with a drawer (please note the
plinth may not be available in all countries). The plinth must be purchased as
a pair and secured to the second plinth supporting another tumble dryer or
washing machine.
Externally draining condensed water
Notes
- When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose which is located at the back of the dryer.
- The condensed water can also be drained away via the drain hose. The condensed water container will then not need to be emptied.
- Hose length: 1.49 m
- Maximum delivery head: 1.00 m
- Maximum 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 external water connection. Non-return valve (d), hose extension (a) and hose clips (c) are supplied with the kit.
Installation conditions requiring a non-return valve
Danger of condensed water backflow. Water could flow back into the tumble dryer or be drawn into it. Backflow 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 fitting of a non-return valve:
- Drainage into a laundry tub or floor gully where the end of the hose is immersed 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 machine.
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
container ready to collect this.
- Pull the drain hose off its connection (light arrow).
- Pull the hose out of the holders (dark arrows) and unwind it.
- Allow any residual water to run into a container.
Examples
Drainage into a laundry tub or floor gully Use the hose holder to secure the
drain hose.
Risk of 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.Direct connection to a sink drain outlet Use the hose holder, the hose
clips and the non-return valve (available to purchase).
- Adapter
- Nut
- Hose clip
- End of the hose (secured with the hose holder)

- Fit the adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using the nut 2. The nut is usually fitted with a washer which must be removed.
- Attach the end of the hose 4 to the adapter 1.
- Use the hose holder.
- Use a screwdriver to tighten the hose clip 3 up close to the nut.
- Fit the non-return valve 5 to the tumble dryer drain hose 6. The non-return valve 5 has to be fitted so that the arrow points in the direction of flow (i.e. towards the sink).
- Secure the non-return valve using hose clips.
Electrical connection
The tumble dryer is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a socket. The socket should be easily accessible after the tumble dryer has been installed. If the socket is not easily accessible, 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 extension cable or multi-socket adapter.
- All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
- For safety reasons, we recommend using a suitable residual current device(RCD) in the relevant electrical installation for connecting the tumble dryer.
- If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent electrician or a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard.
- The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the connection data. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
- Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.
- The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
