Risk of fire and explosion due to damage to the tumble dryer. The refrigerant is flammable and explosive if it leaks. Take measures to protect the tumble dryer against damage. Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer. Follow the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical data”.
10

Warnings and safety instructions
The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains. 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. Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation. Correct use 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. Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer’s packaging. Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches). 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.
11

Warnings and safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, textiles that have not been cleaned thoroughly or are still soiled with deposits of any kind must not be dried in this tumble dryer. This applies in particular to textiles that – have not been washed. – have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease,
oil or other deposits (such as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions, etc.). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the tumble dryer at the end of the programme. – 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 (e.g. mops and floor cloths). – items that have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances. 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. To prevent the risk of fire, these textiles must not be tumble dried: – textiles that have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents) – textiles 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. – textiles containing padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g. pillows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire. The heat pump that is essential to the operation of this tumble dryer generates a great deal of heat inside its casing. There must be a reliable means of dissipating this heat. Otherwise loads could take longer to dry or the tumble dryer might sustain damage in the long term.
12

Warnings and safety instructions
The following mandatory requirements must be met: – permanent room ventilation from the beginning to the end of every
drying programme – a gap between the floor and the bottom of the tumble dryer (this
must not be blocked or obstructed in any way) The tumble dryer must not be hosed down. Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the tumble dryer to tip up. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health problems in both people and animals if consumed.

Warnings and safety instructions
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. 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. Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance flacon.

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 information. Your tumble dryer’s delay start function will be useful as you can select when during the next 24 hours you want drying to start automatically.

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.

23

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Drying
Tip: Read the “Programme chart”, which contains a complete list of data for 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 Woollens handcare 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 Woollens handcare 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 shrinking, do not overdry jersey fabrics. Buy jersey garments that are slightly bigger than the size you would normally wear if possible. – Reduce the load size for fabrics that are particularly heat- sensitive or susceptible to creasing. Also select 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.

3. Select a programme and start it

Selecting programme settings
Selecting the drying level Check the “Programme chart” to see which programme you can select a drying level for and which drying level meets your requirements.

– The programme completes the normal drying process for laundry care first. The finish time counts down to 0 minutes. Then the temperature holding time starts.
– At the start of the temperature holding time, the remaining programme running time is extended by 85 minutes to produce a hygienic drying result.
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.

Touch the sensor control for the drying level you want.
The selected drying level lights up brightly.
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. Tip: Reduce the load size for the corresponding programme to half the maximum load size specified in these operating instructions. Temperature holding time – An estimated programme running
time is displayed at the start of a programme for which the HygieneDry drying level has been selected.

End of programme/Anti-crease
End of programme: lights up in the time display and the Start/Add laundry sensor control goes out. A buzzer sounds. Or in some cases bars flash in the time display ( … … …) The end of the programme is followed by the anti-crease phase, which will run for up to 2 hours. There is no anticrease phase at the end of the Woollens handcare programme. See “Programmable functions”, ” Anti- crease”. The tumble dryer switches off automatically.
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.
Reach under the door grip and pull the door open.

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.
Turn the programme selector to the position.
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.

Delay start/SmartStart

Smart Start

The SmartStart function lets you define a time period during which your tumble dryer will start automatically. The appliance will start on receipt of a signal, e.g. from your energy supplier, that indicates that the electricity tariff is particularly economical. This function is active when the SmartGrid programmable function is activated
The time period can be defined between 30 minutes and 24 hours. During this period, the tumble dryer waits for the signal from the energy supplier. If no signal is sent during the defined period, the tumble dryer starts the drying programme.

Setting the time period
If the SmartGrid programmable function is activated, the function of the sensor control changes. The time display no longer shows the Delay start period, and instead shows the time period in which your tumble dryer can be started automatically.
The procedure for setting this is the same as for setting the time for Delay start. Touch the sensor control. Set the time period you want using
the or sensor controls. Touch the Start/Add laundry sensor
control. A flashing readout appears in the time display for the duration: … . The period can be ended by opening the door.

Push the upper fluff filter in completely. Close the door.
45

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the plinth filter
Clean the plinth filter whenever the indicator light comes on or when the programme running time seems to be taking longer than usual. To make the indicator light go out,
open and close the door while the tumble dryer is switched on. Removing the plinth filter
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 the plinth filter
Press the round, indented area on the heat exchanger access panel to open it.
The panel will spring open.
Pull the handle out of the plinth filter. Clean the plinth filter carefully and
thoroughly under running water.
46

Cleaning and care

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.
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.

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”.
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.
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.

Cleaning and care
Push the plinth filter in completely. This will push in the right-hand guide pin at the same time.
48

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the plinth filter access panel

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.

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.
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.

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.
Useful tip: You can alter the drying levels for some programmes. See “Programmable functions”, sections ” Drying levels Cottons” and ” Drying levels Minimum iron”.

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”.

53

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/DryFresh programme.

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

Problem The drum lighting does not come on.

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.

56

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

Problem solving guide
Deformations

Deformations indicate that the filter has become blocked and worn by continuous use.

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.

57

Problem solving guide
Cracks, tears, indentations

White residues or residues of other colours

Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger through cracks and tears. This will, in time, cause a blockage in the heat exchanger.

These residues arise from laundry fibres and traces of detergent components. They can be found on the front and side edges of the plinth filter. In extreme cases, they can form stubborn crust. Residues are a sign that the plinth filter no is longer a snug fit at the sides, even if it appears to be perfect: fluff is getting in unfiltered at the edges. Reactivate the plinth filter. If these residues appear on the plinth filter again soon after cleaning, the plinth filter must be replaced.

58

Problem solving guide

Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more soiled plinth filters in a washing machine. You will then be able to use the plinth filter again.
Prior to reactivation, check that the plinth filter is in good order. Check the plinth filter following the instructions provided in “Problem solving guide ­ Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the plinth filter if it has worn out.
Wash the plinth filter(s) separately, not with any laundry items. Do not add any detergent.
Select a short wash programme with a maximum temperature of 40 °C and a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
You can re-insert the plinth filter once the wash and spin cycles are complete.

Checking the heat exchanger
Risk of injury from sharp cooling
fins. You could cut yourself. Do not touch the cooling fins with your hands.
Look to see if fluff has accumulated. Remove any fluff you can see.
Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing of the heat exchanger. The tumble dryer will not dry if the cooling fins are damaged or bent. Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a suction brush attached. Only pass the vacuum cleaner brush over the heat exchanger cooling fins lightly, without applying any pressure.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff and residues. 59

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 tumble dryer from the
electrical supply. – Air the room where the tumble dryer
is located. – Contact the Miele Customer Service
Department.
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.

Turn the screw feet by hand or with a flat open spanner.

INSTALLATION

Installation

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. 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).

The heat pump that is essential to the operation of this tumble dryer generates a great deal of heat inside its casing. There must be a reliable means of dissipating this heat. 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 gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor are mandatory requirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer again A small quantity of condensed water that remains in the area around the pump after the drying process can run out if the tumble dryer is tilted. Recommendation: start a programme for approx. 1 minute before transporting the dryer. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container (which you will need to empty again) or out through the drain hose.

INSTALLATION

Installation

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.
Building under a continuous worktop or in a cabinet
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.
– The electrical socket must be located in an accessible position near the tumble dryer.
– Drying durations may increase slightly. Avoid a build-up of heat: – Adjust the screw feet so that there is
a gap of at least 20 mm between the floor and the bottom of the dryer. – Create a gap for the dryer in the kitchen furniture plinth facing. – Create ventilation gaps in the kitchen cabinet. Slot-in This tumble dryer is suitable for pushing under a worktop if there is space to do this without removing the lid.

Optional accessories
­ Building-under kit A building under kit is required if the lid of the tumble dryer 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 buildingunder 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 be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washerdryer stack. The appropriate Miele washer-dryer stacking kit is required.
­ Plinth The tumble dryer can be fitted on a plinth with drawer (please note the plinth may not be available in all countries).

INSTALLATION

Installation

External condensed water outlet
Note 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 externally drained away via the drain hose at the back of the dryer. This means that the condensed water container no longer has to be emptied. Drain hose length: 1.49 m Max. delivery head: 1.00 m Max. 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.

Installation conditions requiring a nonreturn valve
Danger of condensed water
back-flow. Water could flow back into the tumble dryer or be drawn into it. Back-flow 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 sink 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.

67

INSTALLATION

Installation

There will be a small amount of residual water left in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this.

Examples
Drainage into a sink or floor gully Use the hose holder to secure the drain hose.

Pull the drain hose off its connection (light arrow).
Pull the hose out of the holders (dark arrow) and unwind it.
Allow any residual water to run into a container.

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.

INSTALLATION

Installation

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.
