Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used (see Programme chart). Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated. Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer. Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Correct use

wing textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
~ To prevent the risk of fire, the follo 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 floorheads) which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents or contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, stain remover, turpentine, wax, wax remover or other chemicals. items which 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, the following must not be dried in this tumble dryer: items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents). fabrics 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.
~ 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. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry. dryer off before the end of the drying programme. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately it could give off a great amount of heat. ducts must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

,Close the door fully. Otherwise the door and the front panel of the condensed water container could suffer damage when pulling the container out.
,Condensed water should not be
consumed. It could lead to health problems for people and animals.
Condensed water can be put to household use (e.g. in a steam iron or humidifier). To ensure that any residual particles of fluff in the condensed water are removed before use, pass it through a fine sieve or paper filter first.
^ Pull out the container. ^ Hold it at the front and towards the back and keep it in a horizontal position when carrying it.
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected by the fluff filters in the door and the door opening. Clean the filters after each drying programme*. Cleaning them whilst dry Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove the fluff. ^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff from the surface of the filter. ^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part of the door opening. You could also use a cleaning brush which is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department, or use a vacuum cleaner. ^ Also clean the door seal (2) with a damp cloth. ^ Once clean, push the filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter (1) out of the door as illustrated.
^ Use your fingers or a vacuum cleaner to remove the fluff from the two fluff filters in the door opening. ^ Close the door. * Always check the fluff filters if the Clean out airways indicator light comes on.
Cleaning them with water If there is a great deal of compacted fluff on any of the filters, they can be removed and cleaned under hot running water. ^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter out of the door as described previously. The two filters in the door opening can also be removed if you need to clean them with water.
,Do not replace them if they are
damp or wet. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults. ^ Push the large filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way. ^ Replace the filters in the door opening by first inserting them at the bottom and then pressing them into place at the top. ^ Lock both dials.
^ Turn dial a and pull the filter by the dial out of the door opening as shown b. Do the same on the other side. ^ Rinse all the filters under hot, running water. ^ Then shake the filters until no more water droplets are visible. ^ Dry the filters thoroughly with care. ^ Clean the area underneath these filters, e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.

Other problems

Problem The drying process goes on too long or even switches off. In some circumstances, the Clean out airways indicator light still comes on, even though the filters are clean. Possible cause Remedy Please check all the possible causes and switch the dryer off and then back on again. Ventilation to and from the dryer may be insufficient (e.g. because it is installed in a small room). This has caused the temperature in the room to rise sharply. The fluff filters are clogged up with fluff or were still wet when they were replaced. Open a door or window while the tumble dryer is in operation for increased air flow.

External condensed water outlet
General notes When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained off directly if the tumble dryer is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied. Drain hose length. 1.50 m Maximum delivery head. 1.50 m Maximum drain hose length. 4.00 m ^ There will be a small amount of residual water in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this.
,If the on-site water drainage system is not fitted with a non-return valve or an appropriate air gap, one must be fitted to prevent the risk of back-flow. (See "Installation conditions requiring a non-return valve").
The following optional accessories are available: an extension hose a non-return valve kit for connection to an external condensed water outlet (includes an extension hose). Maximum delivery head with non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m Arranging the drain hose
^ Pull the hose off its connection (see arrow). ^ Allow any residual water to run into the container. ^ Unwind the hose and pull it carefully out of the holders.
do not stretch it or allow it to become kinked as it could get damaged.
,Do not pull on the drain hose and
^ Position the hose to the right or left hand side as necessary. Leave the hose in the middle holder to prevent it from becoming kinked inadvertently.
External drainage via a sink or gully ^ See "Front view" illustration. into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage. ^ Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked. Installation conditions requiring a non-return valve Example: Connection to a sink drain outlet The drain hose with non-return valve fitted can be connected directly to a suitable sink drain outlet.
,If you want to drain the water off
,Certain installation conditions require the fitting of a non-return valve for external water connection (available as an optional accessory). A non-return valve will prevent the risk of back-flow out of the dryer which could cause damage.

A non-return valve is required: If the tumble dryer is connected to a sink drain outlet (see the following section). If the tumble dryer is connected to a drainage system already in use by another appliance, e.g. a dishwasher or washing machine.
^ Remove the following from the back of the dryer at the top: Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2. If this nut has a flat disc in it you should take the disc out first. ^ Attach the end of hose 4 to adapter 1. ^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip 3 up close to the nut.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Energy saving tips

To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy: Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying. Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used (see Programme chart). Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated. Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer. Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Cleaning and care

Emptying the condensed water container
The condensed water will be collected in the condensed water container unless the appliance has been fitted with a drain hose (see "Installation"). Empty the condensed water container after every drying programme. The Empty out container indicator light will come on if the maximum level of the condensed water container is reached. The indicator light will go out when the door is opened and closed again.
^ Empty the container. ^ Replace the container in the dryer.

,Close the door fully.

Otherwise the door and the front panel of the condensed water container could suffer damage when pulling the container out.
,Condensed water should not be
consumed. It could lead to health problems for people and animals. Condensed water can be put to household use (e.g. in a steam iron or humidifier). To ensure that any residual particles of fluff in the condensed water are removed before use, pass it through a fine sieve or paper filter first.
^ Pull out the container. ^ Hold it at the front and towards the back and keep it in a horizontal position when carrying it.
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected by the fluff filters in the door and the door opening. Clean the filters after each drying programme*. Cleaning them whilst dry Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove the fluff. ^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff from the surface of the filter. ^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part of the door opening. You could also use a cleaning brush which is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department, or use a vacuum cleaner. ^ Also clean the door seal (2) with a damp cloth. ^ Once clean, push the filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter (1) out of the door as illustrated.
^ Use your fingers or a vacuum cleaner to remove the fluff from the two fluff filters in the door opening. ^ Close the door. * Always check the fluff filters if the Clean out airways indicator light comes on.
Cleaning them with water If there is a great deal of compacted fluff on any of the filters, they can be removed and cleaned under hot running water. ^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter out of the door as described previously. The two filters in the door opening can also be removed if you need to clean them with water.

You will need to deactivate the system lock before the dryer can be used (see "Electronic system lock"). Switch the dryer off and then on again. Then start the programme again. If the programme stops again and Cooling down or Finish flashes again there is a fault. Contact the Miele Service Department.

Other problems

Problem The drying process goes on too long or even switches off. In some circumstances, the Clean out airways indicator light still comes on, even though the filters are clean. Possible cause Remedy Please check all the possible causes and switch the dryer off and then back on again. Ventilation to and from the dryer may be insufficient (e.g. because it is installed in a small room). This has caused the temperature in the room to rise sharply. The fluff filters are clogged up with fluff or were still wet when they were replaced. Open a door or window while the machine is in operation for increased air flow.

To manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing case to its installation site you will also need to hold it by the front feet. Washer-dryer stack The tumble dryer can also be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate "WTV" stacking kit (available to order) to match your dryer is required.
,Stacking kits must only be
installed by a suitably qualified fitter.

Levelling the machine

,The air inlet and outlet vents on
the front and back of the machine must not be covered as this would prevent sufficient ventilation for cooling the condenser unit. Room ventilation The air which is taken in when the dryer is in operation is blown out of the vents on the front of the machine and warms up the air in the room. It is very important, particulary if the room is small, to ensure adequate ventilation. Opening a window, for example, will allow more air to enter the room. Otherwise running times and energy consumption could be increased. Before moving the machine again (e.g. when moving house) After each use a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the area around the pump. This water can run out if the machine is tipped up when it is being moved. It is a good idea to run the Cool air programme for approximately 1 minute before moving the machine. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose.
