Warning and Safety instructions ~ It is essential to read these instructions. This washer-extractor and tumble dryer stack conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machines, please read these instructions carefully before using them for the first time. They contain important information on their safety, installation, use and maintenance.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ The washer-extractor and tumble dryer stack must be used as described in these instructions and must be checked on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning correctly. Maintenance must be carried out when necessary. ~ The machine is not intended for outdoor use.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety ~ Before setting up the appliance stack, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged appliance. ~ The electrical safety of this appliance stack can only be guaranteed when it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – the connection plugs on the washer-extractor and on the tumble dryer have been withdrawn, or – the on-site fuse has been disabled for both the washer-extractor and tumble dryer, or – the screw-out fuse has been disabled for both the washer-extractor and the tumble dryer (in countries where this is applicable).
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use ~ Do not install the appliance stack in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +50°C. ~ Always keep the area around the appliance stack free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the appliances can cause blockages over time. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the washer-extractor should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale it, only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging. A special descaling agent is available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele dealer. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging carefully.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers of these agents near the appliance. ~ Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the appliance stack.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Check all parts of the extraction system on a regular basis (e.g. wall vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure they are all free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a free flow of air through the system. If the dryer is to be connected to an existing ducting system, this must be checked for suitability beforehand.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer: – items which have not been washed. – items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase has been completed. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry. ~ Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the drying programme.
Warning and Safety instructions Chlorine and component damage Notes on using chlorine bleach and perchlorethylene ~ Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of component damage. The use of agents containing chlorine, such as sodium hypochlorite and chlorine bleach in powder form, can damage the protective upper surface of stainless steel and cause corrosion to components. Factors affecting this are chlorine concentration levels, contact time and temperature.
Warning and Safety instructions Accessories ~ Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated. Disposing of your old appliance ~ Before disposing of an old washer-dryer and tumble dryer stack, disable the washer-extractor door lock. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required, with a sharp twist and pull. Drain hose connection: 1. Connected securely to a plastic drain pipe with a rubber nipple. There is no need to use a non-return valve. 2. Connected securely to a standpipe. 3.
Installation and connection Electrical connection The appliance stack is supplied with two flexible mains connection cables without plugs. ,The voltage, rated load and fuse rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the on-site mains supply. The appliance stack must be connected to the electrical supply in accordance with local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
Installation - extraction ducting General ,Before operating the appliance stack, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. The appliance stack must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply whilst the ducting system is installed. The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall) should be installed in such a way that the moist expelled air: . . . . cannot be drawn back into the room in which the appliance is installed; . . .
Installation - extraction ducting To calculate the total duct length Friction against the inner walls of the vent ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through the ducting. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor.
Installation - extraction ducting Dimensions for exhaust connection Calculation example View from above Rear view of the dryer A Wall pipe, with louvred vent = 1 x 3.8 m Additional duct length B/D 2 bends, 90° plastic piping = 2 x 0.8 m Additional duct length C = 3.8 m = 1.6 m 0.5 m plastic piping = 0.5 x 1 m Additional duct length = 0.5 m Total duct length = 5.9 m Result: A duct diameter of 100 mm is adequate as the total duct length is less than the 20 m specified in Table II.
Installation - extraction ducting Venting system with plastic piping Example: Wall vent Plastic piping can be fitted using an adapter. The following items are required: – an adapter. – a wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. – suitable plastic piping, available from your dealer or builders' merchant. Where the pipe diameter is more than 100 mm, an adapter is necessary (e.g. 100 to 125 mm) to connect the pipe to the dryer. (* optional accessory) 1.

Installation - extraction ducting Venting more than one dryer via the same venting system Building regulations approval may be required. Contact your local planning authority for advice. ,For each dryer there must be one non-return flap R installed directly on the main venting duct. The items required for this are available as optional accessories (see next page). ,Otherwise condensation could trickle back into the dryers causing damage and endangering their electrical safety. When installing 3 to max.
