MIELE TWD 440 WP - Correct use - 1

text_image Warning sign depicting a flame symbol inside a triangle, indicating hazardous risk.

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 8.0 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 so 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 (e.g. mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax and 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 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.

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.

Removing the protective foil and stickers

■ Remove:

– the protective foil from the door
– any 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.

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.

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.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

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 the dryer, read "1. Notes on correct laundry care".

MIELE TWD 440 WP - Loading the laundry - 1

text_image Diagram illustrating a washing machine operation with numbered steps and corresponding waste disposal options.

■ Check that the drum is empty. Remove any items that might be blocking the drum.
■ Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result. It can also cause more creasing.

When closing the door, make sure that laundry does not get trapped in the door opening. This can result in damage to the laundry.

Socket for the fragrance flacon

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

Unsatisfactory drying results

Problem Possible causeand remedy
The laundry is not sufficiently dry.The load consisted of different types of fabric.■ Finish drying using the Warm air programme.■ Select a more suitable programme next time.Useful tip: You can alter the drying levels for some programmes. See “Programmable functions”, sections “POI Cottons drying levels”, “PO2 Minimum iron drying levels”.
Laundry or feather filled pillows smell after drying.The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent. Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal.■ Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.■ Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and aerate.■ Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional accessory).
Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying.Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.■ Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric softener to the final rinse in the washing programme.
There is a build-up of fluff.Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form.Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter and can be removed easily.■ See “Cleaning and care”.

The drying process takes a long time.

Problem Possible causeand remedy
The drying process goes on for too long or even switches off.*The room in which the tumble dryer is located is too warm.■ Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the filters.■ Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter.■ Remove visible fluff from the heat exchanger.
The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up. The tumble dryer has been overloaded.■ Untangle the laundry and remove a few items, if necessary.■ Start a programme.
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.■ Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away from the dryer.
The laundry is too damp.■ Spin the laundry using a higher spin speed in the washing machine.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented the dryer from registering the correct moisture level.■ Open the zippers next time.■ If the problem recurs, dry these items using the Warm air timed drying programme.

* Switch the tumble dryer off and on again before starting a new programme.

Problem solving guide

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
MIELE TWD 440 WP - Replacing the plinth filter - 1

natural_image Cross-sectional diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with internal components and no visible text or symbols

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
MIELE TWD 440 WP - Replacing the plinth filter - 2

natural_image Diagram of a spacecraft with a propeller and two circular components, no text or symbols present

Deformations indicate that the filter has become worn.

Cracks, tears, indentations
MIELE TWD 440 WP - Replacing the plinth filter - 3

natural_image Two-panel scientific illustration showing a biological or material science setup with two circular structures and radiating lines, no text or symbols present.

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
MIELE TWD 440 WP - Replacing the plinth filter - 4

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with two mounting holes and a textured top (no text or symbols)

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. 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

    B --> C["Right: Rotation Arrow"]
    C --> D["Bottom: Circular Components with Rotation Arrow"]

■ 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.

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

MIELE TWD 440 WP - Levelling the dryer - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a washing machine with circular vent and side door (no text or symbols)

The appliance must stand perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation.

MIELE TWD 440 WP - Levelling the dryer - 3

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)

After each use a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the area of the pump. This water can run out if the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is being moved. Recommendation: Run the Warm air programme for approximately 1 minute without a load before moving the tumble dryer. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container, which can then be emptied, or can drain 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.

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
