Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Take care not to damage your tumble
dryers pipework and heat exchanger
before or during transportation to an
authorised collection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
tumble dryer and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please make use of officially designated
collection and disposal points to dis-
pose of and recycle electrical and elec-
tronic appliances in your local com-
munity, with your dealer or with Miele.
By law, you are solely responsible for
deleting any personal data from the ap-
pliance prior to disposal. Please ensure
that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to dis-
posal.

Warnings and safety instructions
8
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-
ible 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) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electri-
cian.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat
and are a fire hazard.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Warnings and safety instructions
9
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
This tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised
to do so by Miele.
Warnings and safety instructions
10
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resist-
ance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only
be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or the Miele Service Department.
This tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed
by the compressor. Having been increased to a high temperature
level as as result of the condensing process, the refrigerant passes
through a closed refrigerant circuit. The heat generated is transferred
to the drying air as flows through the heat exchanger.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the tumble dryer.
- The refrigerant is environmentally friendly and causes no damage
to 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.
Warnings and safety instructions
11
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 tumble dryer from the electrical supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer is located.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
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 accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.
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 dryer.
Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
Correct use
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 8.0 kg (dry weight).
The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are
given in the Programme chart.
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.
Warnings and safety instructions
12
Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying pro-
gramme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or
spread out to cool it down.
Fabric conditioner 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.
The fluff filters or the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Wet fluff/plinth filters could cause operational faults while
drying.
Warnings and safety instructions
13
To prevent the risk of fire, textiles that have not been cleaned thor-
oughly or are still soiled with deposits of any kind must not be dried
in this tumble dryer. This applies in particular to textiles that
- have not been washed.
- 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 re-
moved from the tumble dryer at the end of the programme.
- 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 chemic-
als (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
- items that 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 temper-
ature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
Warnings and safety instructions
14
To prevent the risk of fire, these textiles must not be tumble dried:
- 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 containing padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g. pil-
lows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire.
The heat pump that is essential to the operation of this tumble
dryer generates a great deal of heat inside its casing. There must be
a reliable means of dissipating this heat. 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-ig-
niting). 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.
Warnings and safety instructions
15
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 fluff filters or
- with damaged fluff filters, 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 sink or basin 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 if con-
sumed.
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.
Warnings and safety instructions
16
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 leak out of the flacon. Make sure that
you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted
in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place
down on any surface.
Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has
leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer com-
ponents (e.g. the fluff filter) immediately.
If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon: comes into contact
with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; comes
in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least
15minutes; is 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 leaked 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 follow-
ing 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 original spare parts and accessories with
this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance
and product liability claims will be invalidated.
The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine
in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit (avail-
able to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine is
required.
If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory - depending on country), make sure it is the
correct one.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of

Energy saving tips
21
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following meas-
ures as the drying time is not exten-
ded 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
spun at 1600rpm instead of
1000rpm.
- Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. This will
mean that the energy consumption
for the amount of laundry is at its
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 open-
ing 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-vari-
able, low-cost electricity tariffs. Ask
your energy supplier for information.
Your tumble dryer's delay start func-
tion 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
22
Points to note regarding
washed laundry
- When washing very heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high temperat-
ure. If in doubt, wash the items sev-
eral 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
danger of colours running and discol-
ouring other garments or even plastic
components in the dryer. Dark col-
oured 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” instruc-
tions 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.
- Disentangle the laundry.
- Tie together textile belts and 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 underwiring from
bras.
- If necessary, reduce the size of the
load for these types of fabric. Easy
care 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
23
Drying
Tip: Read the “Programme chart”,
which contains a complete list of data
for programmes and load sizes.
- Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load size for each pro-
gramme. This will mean that the en-
ergy consumption for the amount of
laundry is at its most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, de-
pending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Woollens handcare pro-
gramme for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the fab-
ric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Woollens handcare pro-
gramme for these textiles.
- Woollens and wool blends are sus-
ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these tex-
tiles.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. To prevent
further shrinking, do not overdry jer-
sey fabrics. Buy jersey garments that
are slightly bigger than the size you
would normally wear if possible.
- Reduce the load size for fabrics that
are particularly heat-sensitive or sus-
ceptible to creasing. Also select the
Gentle tumble Extra.

24
Loading the laundry
Preventing damage to fabrics.
Before loading the dryer, read “1.
Notes on correct laundry care”.
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.
The “Fragrance flacon” chapter de-
scribes how to use the fragrance
flacon.
Push the tab down completely (see
arrow) so that the socket is closed.
Otherwise, fluff will accumulate here.

Risk of fire and damage to health
if fragrance flacons are used incor-
rectly.
The leaked fragrance can damage
your health if it comes into contact
with your body. Leaked fragrance
can cause fire.
Before using a fragrance flacon,
please read “Warnings and safety in-
structions”, “Using the fragrance
flacon (optional accessory)”.
Removing the protective seal
from the fragrance flacon
Only hold the fragrance flacon as il-
lustrated. Do not hold it at an angle
or tip it, as the fragrance will leak out
of it.

Fragrance flacon
38
Opening the fragrance flacon
Before drying, you can select the in-
tensity of the fragrance.
Turn the outer ring clockwise: the fur-
ther you open the fragrance flacon,
the more intense the fragrance.
Damp laundry and longer drying dura-
tions with sufficient heat transfer are
needed for the fragrance to be released
into the laundry effectively. The fra-
grance will also be noticeable in the
room air during the process.
Closing the fragrance flacon
After drying, the fragrance flacon should
be closed to prevent the fragrance from
escaping needlessly.
Turn the outer ring counter-clockwise
until marker b is in position _.
If you wish to dry without the fra-
grance occasionally: remove the fra-
grance flacon and store it in its original
packaging.
Replace the fragrance flacon with a
new one when the intensity of the fra-
grance is no longer sufficient.
Fragrance flacon
39
Replacing the fragrance flacon
Turn the outer ring anti-clockwise un-
til markers a and b line up.
Replace the fragrance flacon.
Only store the fragrance flacon in its ori-
ginal packaging.
Fragrance flacons are available to or-
der from Miele or online at www.miele-
shop.com.
Never lay the fragrance flacon down
on any surface as the fragrance will
leak.

Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Cause and remedy
The laundry is not suffi-
ciently 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”, sec-
tions “ Drying levels Cottons” and “ Drying

Laundry or feather filled
pillows smell after dry-
ing
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite nor-
mal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them.
Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory) for your favourite fragrance.
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
conditioner to the final rinse in the washing pro-
gramme.
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 be-
ing 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”.
Problem solving guide

The drying cycle duration is very long
Problem Cause and remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.*
The room where the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil-
ters.
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 drum is too full.
Disentangle the laundry and remove a few items.
Start a programme.
The bottom right grille is blocked.
Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The laundry is too damp.
Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the
tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry
moisture level.
Open any zips next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.

Replacing the plinth filter
The heat exchanger can clog up.
Replace the plinth filter immediately
if you see the following signs of wear
before or after cleaning (optional ac-
cessory).
Poor fit
The edges of the plinth filter do not sit
properly and the plinth filter is out of
shape. Fluff will blow into the heat ex-
changer unfiltered through edges that
do not sit properly. This will, in time,
cause a blockage in the heat ex-
changer.
Deformations
Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu-
ous use.
Problem solving guide
54
Cracks, tears, indentations
Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
through cracks and tears. This will, in
time, cause a blockage in the heat ex-
changer.
White residues or residues of other col-
ours
These residues arise from laundry fibres
and traces of detergent components.
They can be found on the front and side
edges of the plinth filter. In extreme
cases, they can form stubborn crust.
Residues are a sign that the plinth filter
no is longer a snug fit at the sides, even
if it appears to be perfect:
fluff is getting in unfiltered at the edges.
Reactivate the plinth filter. If these
residues appear on the plinth filter again
soon after cleaning, the plinth filter must
be replaced.
Problem solving guide
55
Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more soiled
plinth filters in a washing machine. You
will then be able to use the plinth filter
again.
Prior to reactivation, check that the
plinth filter is in good order. Check the
plinth filter following the instructions
provided in “Problem solving guide –
Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the
plinth filter if it has worn out.
Wash the plinth filter(s) separately,
not with any laundry items. Do not
add any detergent.
Select a short wash programme with
a maximum temperature of 40°C and
a maximum spin speed of 600rpm.
You can re-insert the plinth filter once
the wash and spin cycles are complete.
Checking the heat exchanger
Risk of injury from sharp cooling
fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins with
your hands.
Look to see if fluff has accumulated.
Remove any fluff you can see.
Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing 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
suction brush attached. Only pass
the vacuum cleaner brush over the
heat exchanger cooling fins lightly,
without applying any pressure.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff
and residues.

Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and
damage to property caused by mov-
ing the appliance incorrectly.
If the tumble dryer tips up there is a
danger of injury to people and dam-
age to property.
Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable
during transportation.
If the tumble dryer is being transpor-
ted on its side, it must be tipped onto
its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being transpor-
ted upright and you are using a hand
truck, you must transport it with its
left or right side resting on the truck.
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 pro-
trudes 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*
59
Installation
Levelling the tumble dryer
Ensure that no closeable door, slid-
ing door or oppositely hinged door is
installed that could hinder opening of
the tumble dryer door in any way.
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 ex-
plosive.
Do not make any alterations to the
tumble dryer. Take measures to pro-
tect the tumble dryer against dam-
age.
If the tumble dryer is damaged, proceed
as follows:
- Avoid naked flames or anything
which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer
is located.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service
Department.
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*
60
Ventilation
The cool air intake at the front of the
tumble dryer must not be blocked or
covered. This would hinder a suffi-
cient 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 suffi-
cient flow of air to the tumble dryer.
The hot air that is blown out from the
heat exchanger warms the room air. En-
sure sufficient ventilation of the room:
e.g., open the 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 great deal of heat inside
its casing. There must be a reliable
means of dissipating this heat.
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 gap
between the bottom of the tumble
dryer and the floor are mandatory re-
quirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again
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. Recom-
mendation: start a programme for ap-
prox. 1minute before transporting the
dryer. Any remaining condensed water
will then be fed into the condensed wa-
ter container (which you will need to
empty again) or out through the drain
hose.

Electrical connection
The tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the tumble dryer has been in-
stalled. If the socket is not easily ac-
cessible, ensure that a suitable means
of disconnection is provided on the in-
stallation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the tumble dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten-
sion lead can overload the mains
connection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable or multi-socket ad-
apter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type A residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical installa-
tion for connecting the tumble dryer.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection.
