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.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

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

dyer, in such a way that a full

opening of the tumble dryer door is

restricted.

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

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.

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.

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)

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.

Additional installation

requirements

Suitable for pushing under a worktop

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

directed away.

- The appliance lid cannot be removed.

- The electrical socket must be located

in an accessible position near the

appliance.

- Drying durations may increase

slightly.

Optional accessories

– 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 fitted with a

plinth with drawer (please note the

plinth may not be available in all

countries).

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.

3. Hose clip

4. End of the hose (secured with the

hose holder)

5. Non-return valve

6. Tumble dryer drain hose

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.
