Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
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. There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and hoses. The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 9.0 kg (dry weight). The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme chart. To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device). If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling down phase, this could cause the laundry to self- ignite. Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or spread out to cool it down. 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 phase has been completed. As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the drum. To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer: – 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. – Items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals. – Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.
12

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches). To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer: – Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents). – Items 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. – Damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it igniting in the dryer. 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. – Pets or other small animals climbing into it. Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the tumble dryer to tip up. The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle. The fluff filters or the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Wet fluff/plinth filters could cause operational faults while drying. The tumble dryer must not be used without fluff filters or – with damaged fluff filters, or – with a damaged plinth filter. This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault. If the water is drained externally through the drain hose instead of being 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 and the water causing damage.
13

Warning and Safety instructions
Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health problems in both people and animals if consumed. Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the heat exchanger over time. The tumble dryer must not be hosed down. Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer’s packaging.
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)
Only use genuine Miele original fragrance flacons. The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please make sure you retain this. Caution. The fragrance can leak out of the flacon. Make sure that you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place down on any surface. Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer components (e.g. the fluff filter) immediately. If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon: comes into contact with the skin – wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; comes in contact with the eyes – rinse the eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes; is swallowed – rinse out the mouth thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical advice in the case of contact with the eyes or if fragrance has been swallowed. If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon comes in contact with clothing, change the clothing immediately. Wash the clothing or any cloths used for mopping up fragrance thoroughly with plenty of water and detergent. There is the risk of fire or damage to the tumble dryer if the following instructions are not observed: – Never refill a flacon with fragrance. – Never use a faulty fragrance flacon. Dispose of an empty fragrance flacon with the household waste and never use it for any other purpose.
14

Warning and Safety instructions
Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance flacon. Accessories Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated. The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit (available to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine is required. If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as an optional accessory – depending on country), make sure it is the correct one. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your tumble dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Energy saving tips

Energy saving tips
This dryer with heat-pump technology is designed for energy-saving drying cycles. However, you can save a little more energy with the following measures as the drying time is not extended unnecessarily.
– Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying. The higher the spin speed, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying, e.g. approx. 20% energy can be saved if spun at 1600 rpm instead of 1000 rpm.
– Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is at its most economical.
– Make sure that the room temperature is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the dryer is located, make sure the room is well ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.
– Clean the fluff filters in the door opening after every drying cycle.
Please refer to “Cleaning and care” for information on cleaning the fluff filters and the plinth filter.

– If possible, make use of time-variable, low-cost electricity tariffs. Ask your energy supplier for further information. Your tumble dryer’s timer is helpful in this regard as you can select when during the next 24 hours you want the drying process to start automatically.

Energy saving tips

Feedback

You can view information about the energy consumption of your tumble dryer in the pull-down menu. The following information will appear in the display:

2. Actual consumption The actual energy consumption and the costs can be viewed during the programme or at the end of the programme. If the energy consumption is too low, < 0.1 kWh and Cost 0.00 will be displayed. See “Settings ­ Consumption” for more detailed information on costs. The consumption and cost will alter as the programme progresses. At the end of the programme, before opening the door, you can also call up the filter soiling level in % in the display.
Filter soiling
0 % = light 50 % = medium 100 % = heavy Increased soiling will cause the programme duration to increase which in turn will increase energy consumption. If the door is opened or the machine has switched off automatically at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption. Tip: You can view the consumption data for the last drying programme and for total consumption (see “Settings ­ Consumption”).

The more bars visible, the higher the energy consumption. The estimate will vary depending on the drying programme, temperature and any extra options selected.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Points to note regarding washed laundry
– When washing very heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Make sure your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin speed, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
– 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.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
Preparing the laundry before drying
Damage due to foreign objects
which were not removed from the laundry. Foreign objects can melt, burn, or explode. Ensure that any foreign objects, e.g. detergent dispensing balls, lighters, etc. have been removed from the laundry.

Risk of fire due to incorrect use
and operation. The laundry can burn and destroy the dryer and the surroundings. See “Warning and Safety” instructions for further information.
– Sort the laundry according to the type of fibre and weave, size, garment care label symbol and the drying level required.
– Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact. This way you will avoid the danger of fillings coming out. These could catch fire when being dried.
– Disentangle the laundry. – Tie together textile belts and ties. – Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. – Fasten hooks and eyes. – Leave jackets open and undo any long zips so that textiles dry evenly. – Sew in or remove underwiring from bras. – If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabric. Easy care fabric tends to crease more, the larger the load. This is particularly the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses.

25

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Drying
Tip: See the “Programme chart”, which contains everything you need to know about programmes and load sizes. – Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load size for each programme. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is at its most economical. – Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. Only use the Pre-Ironing programme for these textiles. – Pure linen should only be tumble dried if it is specified as suitable on the care label. The surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. Only use the Pre-Ironing programme for these textiles. – Woollens and wool blends are susceptible to becoming matted or shrinking. Only use the Woollens handcare programme for these textiles. – Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, underwear) tend to shrink when they are washed for the first time. To prevent further shrinkage, avoid overdrying jersey fabrics. If possible, choose a slightly bigger size when buying garments made from jersey fabrics. – If the fabrics are heat-sensitive or susceptible to creasing, reduce the load size. You should also select the Gentle tumble extra and, for particularly delicate textiles, the DryCare 40 extra.

Loading the laundry

Preventing damage to fabrics. Before loading the dryer, read “1. Notes on correct laundry care”.

2. Load the tumble dryer
Checking the FragranceDos socket If you are not using a fragrance flacon, check that the 2 FragranceDos sockets are closed. The “Fragrance flacon” chapter describes how to use the fragrance flacon.

Open the door. Remove any items that have been left
inside the drum. Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Doing so will cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and affect the drying result. It is also likely to cause more creasing.

Push the tab down completely (see arrow) so that the socket is closed. Otherwise, fluff will accumulate here.
Close the door

Laundry items may be damaged if they get trapped by the door.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

A programme for which the HygieneDry drying level has been selected should not be interrupted, as this would prevent the micro-organisms from being killed off. Do not cancel the drying programme.

HygieneDry drying level Tip: The HygieneDry drying level can be selected for some programmes. Specific hygiene requirements for robust garments with the care symbol are met. HygieneDry dries items at a temperature that is constant over an extended period of time (extended temperature holding time). This kills off micro-organisms (such as germs or dust mites) and reduces allergens in the laundry.

Drying and the programme duration remaining will light up in the display. The laundry will be cooled down shortly before the end of the programme. Tip: In the pull-down menu you can view the selected drying level or duration and the energy consumption. The PerfectDry display will only light up with programmes with selectable drying levels: – Hollow point after a programme
has started The drying level reached will still be shown later on. – Solid point when the drying level is reached
PerfectDry measures the residual moisture of the laundry. In programmes with selectable drying levels, PerfectDry dries the laundry precisely, although the result is also influenced by the calcium content of the water. PerfectDry continually adapts, constantly increasing the accuracy of the time left.

If you barely place anything inside the tumble dryer or load it with dry laundry, this will be sensed by the empty drum detection feature. The automatic load recognition function will restrict the running time of the selected programme once it has started and will continue to dry or air your laundry or textiles in a gentle manner.
To prevent laundry wearing out avoid overdrying it.
Energy savings After 10 minutes, the indicators dim and the Start/Stop sensor starts flashing. Touch the Start/Stop sensor to
switch the indicators on again (this does not have any effect on a running programme). The drum lighting switches off once the programme has started.
Adding laundry You can add laundry items after the programme has started. Follow the description in “Changing

End of programme

– unload the drum

End of programme
The programme is finished when Finish/ Anti-crease appears in the display. The Start/Stop sensor will no longer light up. The dryer will switch off automatically 15 minutes after the end of the Anticrease phase (with programmes without an Anti-crease phase it will switch off 15 minutes after the end of the programme).
Unloading the drum
Only open the door when the drying process has finished. Otherwise, the laundry will not be properly dried through and cooled down.
Pull the door open at the side with the orange marker.

Remove the fluff from the 2 fluff filters in the door opening: see “Cleaning and care ­ Fluff filters”.
Shut the door with a gentle swing. Empty the condensed water con-
tainer. We recommend that you drain the condensed water externally through the drain hose when drying a full load using the Cottons and Cottons programmes. This will avoid having to empty the condensed water container during the programme.
Drum lighting
When you open the door of the tumble dryer, the drum is illuminated along with the area immediately in front of the dryer. This prevents you from accidentally leaving behind any items in the drum or in your laundry basket. The drum lighting will go out automatically to save energy. Tip: To switch the lighting on again, open the pull-down menu from the overview menu and then touch the sensor.

Remove the laundry. Items left in the dryer could be damaged by overdrying when the dryer is used the next time. Always remove all items from the drum.
Touch the sensor to switch the tumble dryer off.

Extras

The drying programmes can be augmented with various extra options. The table lists the selection options.
DryFresh
The Normal drying level can be used to freshen up clothing that is clean and dry without wetting it. The function is slightly less effective when used with fabrics made of synthetic fibres. Tip: To enhance the effect, you can also use the DryFresh fragrance flacon (optional accessory). and reduce the size of the load. DryFresh is not available for all drying levels.
PowerFresh
This option can be used to freshen up clothing that is clean and dry by using steam. The fabrics are moistened automatically. As the item is dried, the heat from the generated water vapour is transferred to the item strategically so that odour molecules in the fabric can be freed more easily. The function is slightly less effective when used with fabrics made of synthetic fibres. Reduce the size of the load to 1 kg. PowerFresh is not available for all drying levels. Tip: To enhance the effect even further, you can also use the DryFresh fragrance flacon (optional accessory).

Condensed water from the condensed water container is sprayed into the drum. The condensed water container must therefore be filled to at least the min mark.
Fill the condensed water container. See “Condensed water container ­ Filling the condensed water container”.

40

Extras

DryCare 40
This option dries fabrics gently at very low temperature. It can be used for all fabrics that are free of wool and are washable at temperatures of 40 °C and above.
For the best possible drying result: Reduce the load size for the corresponding programme to half the maximum load size specified in these operating instructions. Exceptions: you must reduce programmes with a maximum load size of 9 kg to 4 kg.
DryCare 40 is not available for all drying levels.
Gentle tumble
The items are dried at a gentle temperature. Suitable for all items with the symbol, e.g. those made from acrylic. The programme running time is longer.

Quick
Robust garments with the care symbol can be dried with reduced drying time. The compressor power is increased which gives rise to more operating noise (buzzing /humming).
Eco
The compressor power is reduced which saves energy. This causes the programme duration to increase.
Freshen up
Odours are reduced in clean clothing. The textiles are aired to the Normal drying level. Tip: Dampen the clothing and use a fragrance flacon to enhance the freshening effect.

Wash2Dry

Once the programme has come to a proper end, the Miele washing machine transfers the programme data via the router to which the networked tumble dryer is also connected, as well as transferring it to the Miele Cloud. The tumble dryer automatically sets a drying programme tailored to the laundry based on the transferred programme data.
All you need to do is start the drying programme once you have loaded the tumble dryer. No further programme settings are required on the tumble dryer. Tip: The drying programme must be started within 24 hours of the end of the wash programme. The data will be kept available for the tumble dryer during this period, but will be overwritten when a new wash programme ends. Tip: Do not disconnect the tumble dryer from the network. The programme data transferred by the washing machine will be received by the tumble dryer as soon as you select Wash2Dry. If you have disconnected the appliance from the network beforehand, this will cause a delay in receiving the data.

Requirements for use
In order to use the Wash2Dry function, the Miele washing machine and tumble dryer must be networked using Miele@home services.
Tip: Set up Miele@home as described in “Before using for the first time”.
Selecting the Wash2Dry function
Please wait lights up in the display of the tumble dryer while the wash programme is running. Once the washing machine programme has come to a proper end, the drying programme tailored to the laundry will be displayed. Once the wash cycle has ended,
place the clean laundry in the tumble dryer. To start the programme, all you need to do is press the Start/Stop sensor control on the tumble dryer.
The programme will not start on this tumble dryer after washing delicate textiles (e.g. curtains) in special wash programmes.

Remove the condensed water container. 49

Condensed water container

Filling the condensed water container
When certain programmes are being used, condensed water generated during drying is recycled and sprayed into the drum via a spray nozzle. The condensed water container must therefore be filled to at least the min mark. Otherwise, this could cause a fault. The min mark is on the front lefthand side of the container. If you have set the appliance up so that condensed water is drained away, the condensed water container will be empty.

1 spout, 2 rubber seal Pour the condensed water through
the rings on the spout 1.
The spray jet in the door opening can suffer a blockage. It should only be filled with clean water. The water must not contain any fragrance, detergent or other substances.

Check the fill level of the condensed water container.
Only fill it with commercially available condensed water (for ironing).
You should only use mains water in exceptional circumstances. If mains water is used frequently, limescale can build up on the spray jet in the door opening.

Cleaning the rubber seal If mains water is used frequently, limescale deposits can build up on the rubber seal 2. Use a damp cleaning cloth to carefully
remove any limescale deposits from the rubber seal 2.

50

Fragrance flacon

FragranceDos
Fragrance flacons (optional accessories) can be used to give your laundry a pleasant scent. This dryer has 2 places for inserting fragrance flacons. This gives you a choice of how to use them.
– You can use both positions if you wish to change from one scent to another. You can close the fragrance flacon that you are not using.
– Use both positions if you want a more intense scent of the same fragrance. Or if you wish to conveniently switch between a scent for normal laundry and DryFresh to freshen up your laundry.
– Use one socket only if you only want to use the one fragrance.
Risk of fire and damage to health
if fragrance flacons are used incorrectly. The leaked fragrance can damage your health if it comes into contact with your body. Leaked fragrance can cause fire. Before using a fragrance flacon, please read “Warnings and safety notes”, “Using the fragrance flacon (optional accessory)”.

Removing the protective seal from the fragrance flacon
Only hold the fragrance flacon as illustrated. Do not hold it at an angle or tip it, as the fragrance will leak out of it. Take the fragrance flacon out of its packaging. Do not attempt to open the fragrance flacon.
Hold the fragrance flacon securely so that you do not open it by mistake.

Removing the plinth filter

Cleaning the fluff filters with water Wipe the smooth plastic surfaces of
the fluff filters with a damp cloth to clean them. Flush the filters through under warm running water. Shake the fluff filters thoroughly and then dry them carefully.
Ensure the filters are dry before replacing them. Wet filters could cause operational faults.
Push the lower fluff filter in completely and lock it with the yellow dial.
Push the upper fluff filter in completely.
Close the door.
Cleaning the plinth filter
Clean the plinth filter when the programme running time is longer than usual or if the following message lights up in the display: Clean the fluff and
plinth filters. See the operating instruction manual for more information.
To clear the message, confirm with OK.

Press the round, indented area on the heat exchanger access panel to open it.
The panel will spring open.
Pull the plinth filter out by the handle. The right-hand guide pin comes out when the plinth filter is removed. The guide pin prevents the access panel from closing without the plinth filter.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the plinth filter

Tip: To soak up water, place the damp plinth filter between 2 hand towels. On an even surface, gently press down on the plinth filter with the back of your hand. This will dry the plinth filter more quickly.
The plinth filter must not be fitted dripping wet. Otherwise, this could cause a fault. Carefully squeeze the water out of the plinth filter.

Pull the handle out of the plinth filter. Clean the plinth filter carefully and
thoroughly under running water.

If a drying programme is interrupted with a fault message after the clean plinth filter has been fitted, the plinth filter was too wet when it was fitted. Carefully squeeze the water out of the plinth filter again. Leave the plinth filter to air-dry. If a fault occurs again despite this, it may be caused by stubborn residue from washing substances. Reactivate the plinth filter in the washing machine. See “Problem solving guide ­ Reactivating the plinth filter”.

Tip: To speed up the removal of residue from the surface, run a water jet vertically over the front of the plinth filter. Squeeze the plinth filter very carefully
several times as you rinse it. Rinse the entire plinth filter thor-
oughly until all visible residue has been removed. Continue to carefully squeeze the plinth filter until all of the water has been removed.

Blockages caused by a damaged
or worn filter. The heat exchanger becomes blocked and damage may occur. Check the plinth filter following the instructions provided in “Problem solving guide ­ Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the plinth filter if necessary.

58

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the plinth filter access panel

Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff from the handle.
Fit the plinth filter back on the handle. Make sure it is the correct way round.

Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff. Make sure that you do not damage the rubber seal when doing this.
Close the heat exchanger access panel.

Push the plinth filter in completely. This will push in the right-hand guide pin at the same time.

Damage or ineffective drying if
drying takes place without a plinth filter or when the heat exchanger access panel is open. An excessive accumulation of fluff can damage the tumble dryer. If the system is not leak-tight, this can make drying ineffective. Only operate the tumble dryer with the plinth filter fitted and the heat exchanger access panel closed.

59

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the dryer
Disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical supply.
Damage due to the use of unsuit-
able care products. Unsuitable care products could damage plastic surfaces and other parts. Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners, or all-purpose cleaners.
Clean the tumble dryer and the seal on the inside of the door with a slightly damp soft cloth and a mild solution of washing-up liquid and water.
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

Problem solving guide

Unsatisfactory drying results

Problem

Cause and remedy

The DryCare 40 Extra is not drying the laundry sufficiently.

The room where the tumble dryer is located is too warm. This has caused the DryCare process to finish prematurely.
Ventilate the room thoroughly. To fully dry the laundry, select Warm air with the
DryCare 40 Extra.

The laundry is not sufficiently dry.

The load consisted of different types of fabric. Finish drying using the Warm air programme. Select a more suitable programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some programmes. See “Settings”.

Laundry or feather filled The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent pillows smell after drying Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time. Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them. Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional ac-
cessory) for your favourite fragrance.

Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying

Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge. Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric con-
ditioner to the final rinse in the washing programme.

There is a build-up of fluff

Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form.

Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter and can be removed easily. See “Cleaning and care”.

64

Problem solving guide

The drying cycle duration is very long

Problem The drying process goes on too long or even switches off.*

Cause and remedy
The room where the tumble dryer is located is too warm. Ventilate the room thoroughly.

Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the filters.
Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter. Remove visible fluff from the heat exchanger.

The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up.
The drum is too full. Disentangle the laundry and remove a few items. Start a programme.

The bottom right grille is blocked. Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.

The laundry is too damp. Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.

Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry moisture level.
Open any zips next time. If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.

• Switch the tumble dryer off and on again before starting a new programme.

Problem The drum lighting does not come on.
The spray jet for spraying condensed water into the drum is insufficient.

Cause and remedy
To save energy, the drum lighting goes out automatically after a set time and after the programme starts. Switch the dryer off and then on again. To switch the drum lighting on, open the door of the
tumble dryer.
The drum lighting is faulty. The drum lighting is designed to last a long time and should not normally need to be replaced. If you have tried everything but the drum lighting still
does not come on, contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
When certain programmes are being used, water is taken from the condensed water container and sprayed into the drum. The spray jet can sometimes stop working.
The fluff filter in the condensed water container is clogged. Clean the fluff filter in the condensed water con-
tainer. See “Cleaning the fluff filter in the condensed water container” in this section.
There are heavy limescale deposits on the spray jet in the door opening. Replace the spray jet. See “Replacing the con-
densed water spray jet” in this section. Only use condensed water. Do not use mains water. The frequent use of mains water leads to limescale deposits.

Replacing the plinth filter
The heat exchanger can clog up. Replace the plinth filter immediately if you see the following signs of wear before or after cleaning (optional accessory). Poor fit

The edges of the plinth filter do not sit properly and the plinth filter is out of shape. Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered through edges that do not sit properly. This will, in time, cause a blockage in the heat exchanger. Deformations

Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger through cracks and tears. This will, in time, cause a blockage in the heat exchanger. White residues or residues of other colours

Deformations indicate that the filter has become blocked and worn by continuous use. Cracks, tears, indentations

Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and
damage to property caused by moving the appliance incorrectly. If the tumble dryer tips up 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 on its side, it must be tipped onto its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being transported 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 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.

Installation

Installation
Levelling the tumble dryer Ensure that no closeable door, sliding door or oppositely hinged door is installed that could hinder opening of the tumble dryer door in any way.

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.

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.

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.
The hot air that is blown out from the heat exchanger warms the room air. Ensure sufficient ventilation of the room: e.g., open the window. The drying time will otherwise take longer (higher energy requirement). 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 before moving the tumble dryer. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain 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 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 adapter or to an extension lead can overload the mains connection cable. For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical system must comply with local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). For safety reasons, we recommend using a type A 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 the Miele Customer Service Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a qualified specialist 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 connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic 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 example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001­2 ISO 45001.

1 Weight of dry laundry

2 Test programme in accordance with Regulation 392/2012/EU for energy labelling, measured in accordance with EN 61121

All data was calculated using EN 61121 unless otherwise stated.

Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given above depending on the size of the load, types of textiles, residual moisture levels after spinning and fluctuations in the electricity supply, or when water hardness levels differ from specified values. The consumption data displayed by the tumble dryer may differ from the consumption data listed in the table. The differences are due to how data is calculated on the tumble dryer. For instance, when the programme running time is calculated, it is influenced by the residual moisture and composition of the laundry load, which ­ in turn ­ has an impact on the amount of energy required.
