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 oppositely hinged door is

installed that could hinder opening of

the tumble dryer door in any way.

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.

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.

*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

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. Recom-

mendation: start a programme for ap-

prox. 1minute before transporting the

dryer. Any remaining condensed water

will then be fed into the condensed wa-

ter container (which you will need to

empty again) or out through the drain

hose.

Additional installation require-

ments

Slot-in

This tumble dryer is 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 dir-

ected away.

- The appliance lid cannot be removed.

- The electrical socket must be located

in an accessible position near the

tumble dryer.

- Drying durations may increase

slightly.

Optional accessories

– 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.

– Plinth

The tumble dryer can be fitted on a

plinth with drawer (please note the

plinth may not be available in all coun-

tries).

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.

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 con-

tainer ready to collect this.

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.

Examples

Drainage into a sink or floor gully

Use the hose holder to secure the drain

hose.

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.

which must be removed.

Attach the end of the hose 4 to ad-

apter 1.

Use the hose holder.

Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip

3 up close to the nut.

Fit non-return valve 5 to tumble dryer

drain hose 6.

Non-return valve 5 has to be fitted so

that the arrow points in the direction

of flow (i.e. towards the sink).
