Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble dryer unsupervised. ▶ Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do not let them play with it.

Technical safety

Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.

Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g., isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.

The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.

The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g., electric shock).

Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g., danger of overheating).

If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used. In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

- it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.

This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g., on a ship). Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician.

This tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by the compressor. Having been increased to a high temperature level by compression, the refrigerant passes through a closed refrigerant circuit. The heat generated is transferred to the drying air as it passes through the heat exchanger.

• The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying process are normal. They do not impair the correct functioning of the dryer.
• The refrigerant is environmentally friendly and does not damage the ozone layer.

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 starting a drying programme.

The R290 refrigerant contained in this tumble dryer is flammable and explosive. 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.

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”.

The plug and socket must be accessible at all times in order to be able to disconnect the tumble dryer from the power supply.

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.

▶ Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Correct use

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.

To avoid the possible danger of fire, please read these warnings carefully.

A clogged filter is a fire hazard!

The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.

The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 kg (dry weight). See the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

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: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up or spread it out to cool it down.

Fabric softener 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.

Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Do not replace them if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.

The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat.

If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and thus create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

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

- Items which have not been washed.

- Items, such as workwear, which 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.

- Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers, and other chemicals (e.g., mops and floor cloths).

- 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 a larger quantity of detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

▶ To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must never be dried in the tumble dryer:

• 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 which contain padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g., pillows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a fire.

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.

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 the fluff filters in place or with damaged fluff filters.
• without the plinth filter in place 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 laundry tub 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. ▶ 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 run out of the flacon. Make sure that you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted in it, upright when carrying and do not tip it or place it down on any surface.

▶ Use an absorbent cloth immediately to wipe up any fragrance which has run out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer components (e.g. the fluff filter).

If fragrance which has run out of a flacon should come in contact with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; come in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes; be 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 run 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.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability. A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Installation

Before using the appliance for the first time, check that you have followed all the instructions under "Installation".

Read these operating instructions, paying particular attention to the information provided under "Installation".

Removing the protective foil and advertising stickers

■ Remove:

• the protective foil from the door (if present).
• any advertising stickers from the front and the lid.

Please do not remove any labels (e.g. the data plate) which are visible when you open the door.

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.

Follow the procedure for using for the first time outlined in these instructions.

Refer to “1. Notes on correct laundry care” and “2. Loading the tumble dryer”. You can then load the tumble dryer and select a programme as described in “3. Selecting a programme and starting it”.

This dryer with heat-pump technology is designed for energy-saving drying cycles. You can save even more energy with the following measures, because 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 spinning laundry at 1600 rpm instead of 1000 rpm.
• Use the maximum load quantity for the drying programme being used. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is the 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 risk 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.
• Untangle the laundry.
• Tie together textile belts and apron 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 loosened underwiring from bras.
• Reduce the size of the load. Minimum iron 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.

Drying

Useful tip: See the “Programme chart”. It lists all programmes and their maximum load.

• Always observe the maximum recommended load for each programme. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is the most economical.
• Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. Only use the Pre-ironing 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 Pre-ironing programme for these textiles.
• Woollens and wool blends are susceptible to becoming matted or shrinking. Only use the Woollens handcare programme for these textiles.
• Loopknit garments (e.g. T-Shirts, underwear) have a tendency to shrink after the first wash. Do not overdry these fabrics to prevent further shrinking. When buying loopknit garments, it is advisable to take their shrinkage potential into account.
• With fabrics that are particularly heat-sensitive or susceptible to creasing, reduce the drying load and select Gentle tumble.

Care label symbols

Selecting the correct drying level

• Extra dry for multi-layered and very thick fabrics.
• Normal for textiles that can shrink or for light cotton or jersey textiles.
• Hand iron or machine iron if you want to iron the laundry after drying.

Useful tip: You can alter the drying levels (damper or drier) for the Cottons and Minimum iron programmes. See "Programmable functions".

2. Loading the tumble dryer

Loading the laundry

Textiles may be damaged. Before loading, read chapter "1. Notes on correct laundry care" first.

■ 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.

Laundry items may be damaged if they get trapped by the door.

Checking the FragranceDos socket

If you are not using a fragrance flacon, check that the FragranceDos socket is closed.

See the section "Fragrance flacon" for information on how to use fragrance flacons.

■ Push the tab down completely (see the dark arrow) so that the socket is closed. Otherwise, fluff will accumulate here.

Closing the door

Shut the door with a gentle swing.

■ Touch the ▶II sensor.

Start/Add laundry will light up in the display.

Once the programme has started, the running time will appear in the time display.

• The PerfectDry indicator will only flash/light up for programmes with selectable drying levels (see also "Operating the tumble dryer").
• The tumble dryer measures the residual moisture of the laundry and calculates the required programme running time accordingly. If you place very few items in the tumble dryer or load it with dry laundry, this will be sensed by the empty drum detection feature. The automatic load recognition function will restrict the running time of the selected programme once it has started. The fabrics will be gently dried or aired. In this case, the PerfectDry indicator does not light up at the end of the programme.

Laundry items and fabrics can wear out unnecessarily. Avoid over-drying laundry and garments.

- Before the programme finishes, the laundry is cooled.

Energy savings

Replacing the plinth filter

The heat exchanger can clog up. Replace the plinth filter immediately (replacement filters are available as an optional accessory) if you see the following signs of wear before or after cleaning.

Poor fit

The edges of the plinth filter do not sit properly and the filter is deformed. Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered through edges that do not sit properly. This will eventually cause obstruction in the heat exchanger.

Deformations

Deformations indicate that the filter has become worn.

Cracks, tears, indentations

Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered through cracks and tears and will cause obstruction. This will eventually cause obstruction in the heat exchanger.

White residues or residues of other colours

Residues arise from laundry fibres and residual detergent components. They can be found on the front and side edges of the plinth filter. In extreme cases, they can form stubborn crusts. Residues are a sign that the filter no longer has a snug fit at the sides, even if it appears to be perfect. Fluff is getting in unfiltered at the edges. Regenerate the plinth filter (see "Problem solving guide - Regenerating the plinth filter"). If the plinth filter shows these residues again soon, the plinth filter must be replaced.

Regenerating the plinth filter

You can regenerate one or more dirty plinth filters in the washing machine. The plinth filter will be ready for use again.

Before regenerating it, check whether the plinth filter is still in good condition. Check the plinth filter in accordance with the descriptions in "Problem solving guide - Replacing the plinth filter". If the plinth filter is worn, replace it.

Wash one or more plinth filters separately without garments. Do not add laundry detergent. Select a short wash programme with a maximum temperature of 40°C and a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.

After washing and spinning, you can refit the plinth filter.

Checking the heat exchanger

Risk of injury from sharp cooling fins.

You could cut yourself.

Do not touch the cooling fins.

Look to see if fluff has accumulated. If fluff is present, it must be removed.

Damage due to incorrect handling 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 dusting brush attached. Only pass the vacuum cleaner dusting brush over the fins lightly, without applying any pressure.

Carefully vacuum up any fluff and residues.

Contact in case of fault

In the event of any faults which you cannot remedy yourself, please contact Miele.

You can book a Miele customer service call-out online at www.miele.com.au/service or www.miele.co.nz/service.

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

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 dryer, 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.

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.

Installation

Direct connection to a sink drain outlet

Use the hose holder, the hose clips and the non-return valve (available to purchase).

1. Adapter
2. Nut
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.

■ Secure the non-return valve using hose clips.

Electrical connection

The tumble dryer is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a socket.

The socket should 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 plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable.

For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable or multi-socket adapter.

All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.

For safety reasons, we recommend using a suitable 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 Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent electrician or a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard.

The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the connection data. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection.

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.

The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.

All data was calculated using EN 61121 unless otherwise stated.

Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given above depending on the size of the load, types of textiles, residual moisture levels after spinning and fluctuations in the electricity supply, or when water hardness levels differ from specified values.

Using the Cottons Extra dry programme is recommended for a mixed cotton load and is the programme used in energy consumption tests according to AS/NZS 2442 (Refer to http://www.energyrating.gov.au website for consumption data).

Programming

You can use the programmable functions to alter the dryer's electronics to suit your requirements.

Programming is carried out by following these steps (1, 2, 3 ... 9) using the sensors.

Accessing the programming level

Before you begin, ensure the following:

• The programme selector is turned to a programme.
• The door of the dryer is open.

1 Touch the ▶II sensor and keep it held down while carrying out steps 2-3.

2 Close the tumble dryer door.

3 Start/Add laundry should now be flashing quickly; wait for it to light up constantly ...

4 ... and then release the ▶II sensor. POI will light up in the time display.

Choosing and selecting programmable functions

The number of the programmable function will appear in the display as P and a number: e.g. POI.

5 Touch the ▲ sensor to select the other programmable functions one by one:

Programmable function
P01	Drying levels
P05	Buzzer
P06	Keypad tone
P07	PIN code
P11	Control panel switch-off status
P13	Memory
P14	Anti-crease

6 Confirm the selected programmable function by touching the ▶II sensor.

Editing and saving the programmable function

You can switch a programmable function on or off or select different options.

The programmable function option will appear in the time display as - and a number: e.g. -00.

7 Touch the ▲ sensor to switch the programmable function on/off or to select an option:

Programmable function
	Available options
	-00	-01	-02	-03	-04
P01	X √	XX
P05	X √
P06	X √
P07	√ X
P11	X √
P13	√ X
P14	XX √

X = can be selected, √ = factory default

8 Confirm your selection with the ▶II sensor.

The number of the programmable function, e.g. PO I, will light up again.

Exiting the programming level

9 Turn the programme selector to the ⏻ position.

The settings have been changed. You can alter the settings again at any time.

POI Drying levels

You can alter the drying levels for the Cottons and Minimum iron programmes in increments.

Options

- 0! = Damper

- 0.2 = Factory default setting

- 0.3 = Drier

- 0.4 = Even drier

POS Buzzer

The buzzer sounds to let you know the programme has finished. It can be switched on or off.

The continuous tone which sounds when there is a fault is independent of the buzzer.

When the buzzer is switched off, the key tone is also inactive.

Options

- 0.0 = Off

- 0.1 = On (factory default setting)

POS Keypad tone

The tone that sounds when a sensor is pressed can be changed or switched off.

Options

- 00 = Off

P07 PIN Code

The code prevents your machine being used without your knowledge.

When the code has been activated, you have to enter the code after switching the dryer on. Otherwise the dryer cannot be operated.

Options

- 00 = Off (factory setting)

- 01 = On

If option -01 has been selected, after switching on you will have to enter the code before you can operate the dryer.

Using the dryer when the code is activated

After the dryer is switched on, --- will flash in the time display.

The code is 250 and cannot be altered.

Touch the ▲ sensor until a 2... flashes in the first position. Confirm with the ▶II sensor. Enter the two other numbers in the same way.

The dryer is ready for use after 250 has been entered and confirmed.

P// Control panel switch-off status

To save energy, the time display and the sensors will go out once the programme has been running for 10 minutes. In this case, Start/Add laundry will flash on and off in the display.

However, the display/sensors will not go off in the event of a fault.

Options

- 0 0 = Off

The time display and the sensors do not go out.

- 0 1 = On (factory default setting)

The time display and the sensors will go out once the programme has been running for 10 minutes.

Switching the display back on

- Touch the ▶II sensor. This does not affect the drying programme that is currently running.

PI3 Memory

You can set the following: The electronics will save the drying level and any options selected for the current drying programme. They will also save the duration of the Warm air/DryFresh programme. The next time the programme is selected, these saved settings will appear in the display.

Options

- 0 0 = Off (factory default setting)

P14 Anti-crease

After the programme has finished, the drum will continue to rotate at intervals for a max. of 2 hours. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not removed immediately after the end of the programme. The duration can be shortened.

Options

- 00 = no Anti-crease

- 01 = 1 hour

- 02 = 2 hours (factory setting)
