⚠ WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children. Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.
Before this appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.
Do not use fabric softener sheets to eliminate static in this dryer. Best results are achieved when a liquid softener is used in the washer.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing hair spray, nail polish remover or similar substances.
Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
- Keep the area around the air intake (toe kick) and adjacent surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by qualified personnel.
Do not place items exposed to oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the laundry to catch fire.

This dryer is intended for residential use only!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded.

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Installation site

⚠️ Do not install the dryer in an area where it can be blocked, e.g. behind a door.
⚠ This appliance is not intended to be mounted in a wall or other vertical surface of a building or cabinet. The unit is allowed for built-in application.

Transporting the dryer to the installation site

The rear excess end of the lid has a handle box for transport.

■ Use the front dryer feet and the rear excess end to transport the dryer from the packaging base to the installation site.

Installation beneath a counter

When the machine lid needs to be removed to reduce the height of the machine, a built-under spacer kit* is necessary.

It must be installed by a Miele Service Technician.

The cover plate of the built-under kit replaces the appliance lid and ensures electrical safety.

An installation manual is supplied with the built-under spacer kit.

The electrical connection should be near the dryer and accessible at all times.

Extended machine feet* are recommended at a built-in height of more than 33 ^1/_16 (840 mm).

■ Set the extended machine feet on a height of 1^9/_16 " (40 mm).

Remove the original machine feet and replace them with the extended ones.

One or two filler frames* are recommended at a niche height of 34^1/4 " / 34^13/16 " to 36" / 36^5/_8 " (870/885 - 915/930 mm).

* (optional accessory)

An existing continuous toe kick must be interrupted at the dryer location!

Reinstallation of the machine lid

When reinstalling the appliance lid, check the firm fit of the cover at the rear bracket for a safe transport of the dryer.

Installation tips

An airflow gap of 38 " (10 mm) must be provided between the machine and the floor. This airflow gap must not be blocked by a toe kick or thick piled carpets.

Do not install the dryer next to a refrigerator. The warm air exhausting from the dryer will affect the thermostat of the refrigerator, causing it to run continuously.

Level the dryer

■ The machine can be leveled by turning the legs clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.

External water drain

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 directly if the machine is installed near a sink or a standpipe so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.

Drain hose length ..... 4' 11" (1.5 m)

Maximum delivery head .... 4' 11" (1.5 m)

Maximum drain length.....13 ft (4 m)

If the hose is not long enough, an extension hose is available as an optional accessory from the Miele.

Installing the drain hose

Do not pull or kink the drain hose, it may be damaged!

■ The drain hose holds a small amount of remaining water. Keep a container at hand.

■ Guide the hose depending on the installation to the left or right.
■ Leave the hose in the middle clamp to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked.

Draining the condensed water into a sink

■ Secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying the hose to the water tap, to avoid damage by overflowing water.
■ Use the curved guide to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked (see Front view illustration).

Connection to a standpipe

■ Insert the drain hose into the Y-adapter of the sink.

Installation requirements demanding a non-return valve

⚠️ To prevent water from flowing back into the machine a non-return valve must be installed at the following installations:

• Installation to a sink standpipe
• Several installation possibilities where additionally another washer or dishwasher is connected to.

Example: Connection to a sink standpipe

Connect the drain hose with a non-return valve directly to a sink standpipe.

■ Remove the accessories from the top rear of the dryer:

Connector 1 and the hose clamp 3 behind it.

2 Sink connecting nut
3 Hose clamp
4 Hose end
5 Non-return valve
6 Dryer drain hose

■ Install the connector 1 with the sink connecting nut 2 to the sink standpipe.

Usually the sink connection nut is equipped with a washer. Please remove the washer.

• Plug the hose end 4 to the connector 1.
  ■ Using a screwdriver tighten the hose clamp 3 directly behind the sink connecting nut.

⚠️ Install the non-return valve 5 vertical or slightly angled. If installed horizontal it will not operate correctly.

■ Connect the non-return valve 5 to the dryer drain hose 6. See illustration for the correct direction.
■ Fasten the non-return valve with the hose clamps.
