Transporting the tumble dryer

Danger of injury to people and

damage to property caused by mov-

ing the appliance incorrectly.

If the tumble dryer tips up there is a

danger of injury to people and dam-

age to property.

Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable

during transportation.

If the tumble dryer is being transpor-

ted on its side, it must be tipped onto

its left or right side.

If the tumble dryer is being transpor-

ted 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 pro-

trudes 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

Levelling the tumble dryer

Ensure that no closeable door, slid-

ing door or an oppositely hinged

door is installed that would hinder

the door of the tumble dryer being

opened in any way.

The tumble dryer must stand perfectly

level to ensure safe and proper opera-

tion.

The screw feet can be adjusted to com-

pensate for unevenness in the floor.

Risk of fire and explosion due to

damage to the tumble dryer.

The refrigerant is flammable and ex-

plosive.

Do not make any alterations to the

tumble dryer. Take measures to pro-

tect the tumble dryer against dam-

age.

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.

11692300-00

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Ventilation

The cool air intake at the front of the

tumble dryer must not be blocked or

covered. This would hinder a suffi-

cient 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 suffi-

cient flow of air to the tumble dryer.

The hot air that is blown out from the

heat exchanger warms the room air. En-

sure 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 re-

quirements at all times.

Before moving the tumble dryer

again (e.g. when moving house)

After each use a small quantity of con-

densed water will collect in the area of

the pump. This water can run out if the

tumble dryer is tipped up when it is be-

ing 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 wa-

ter container or out through the drain

hose.

Additional installation require-

ments

Risk of injury from an electrical

shock when the appliance lid is re-

moved.

There is a risk of electric shock be-

cause electrically charged compon-

ents in the dryer are accessible with

the lid removed.

For safety reasons, the tumble dryer

must be disconnected from the elec-

tricity 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 dir-

ected 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 kit-

chen 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 build-

ing-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 be combined with

a Miele washing machine in a washer-

dryer stack. The appropriate Miele

washer-dryer stacking kit is required.

External condensed water out-

let

Note

When drying is in progress, con-

densed water is pumped into the con-

densed water container through the

drain hose which is located at the

back of the dryer.

The condensed water can also be ex-

ternally 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 ex-

ternal water connection. Non-return

valve (d), Hose extension (a) and

Hose clips (c) are supplied.

Installation conditions requiring a

non-return 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 fit-

ting of a non-return valve:

- Drainage into a sink or floor gully

where the end of the hose is im-

mersed 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 ma-

chine.

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.

Electrical connection

The tumble dryer is supplied with a

mains cable with moulded plug ready

for connection to a suitable switched

socket.

The socket must be easily accessible

after the tumble dryer has been in-

stalled. If that is not possible, 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 ex-

tension lead or multi-socket plug ad-

apter.

The electrical system must comply with

local and national safety regulations

(BS7671 in the UK). We recommend

the use of a suitable RCD .

If the connection cable is damaged, it

must only be replaced with a specific

connection cable of the same type

(available from the Miele Customer Ser-

vice Department). For safety reasons,

such replacement may only be carried

out by a qualified technician or the

Miele Customer Service Department.

The data plate indicates the nominal

power consumption and the appropri-

ate fuse rating. Compare the specifica-

tions on the data plate with those of the

electricity supply and make sure that

they match.

If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-

trician.

Do not connect the tumble dryer to a

stand-alone inverter such as those used

with an autonomous energy source, e.g.

solar power. When the tumble dryer is

switched on, power surges could result

in a safety switch-off. This could dam-

age the electronic module.
