Warning and Safety instructions To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.
Warning and Safety instructions If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced with a genuine Miele connection cable. In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn. Use This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc.
Warning and Safety instructions If more than one tumble dryer is being installed using a joint ducting system, each dryer must have its own non-return flap to the joint ducting system. Otherwise the dryers could be damaged, and the electrical safety of the machines jeopardised. Always keep the area around the machine free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the machine can, over time, cause blockages. Do not install the machine in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring.
Warning and Safety instructions For machines with stainless steel surfaces: The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. This should be done by a competent person. ^ The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.

Installation and connection View from the side View from above View from the rear Washer-dryer stack a Protruding lid edge (see arrows) for holding when moving the machine The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. A stacking kit is required which can be purchased from your Miele Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department. The stacking kit must be fitted by a Miele authorised service technician.
Installation and connection Installation on a concrete plinth Payment system The dryer can be fitted with a payment system (optional accessory). This must be connected and programmed by a Miele Service technician. Coins / tokens must be removed from the payment system regularly, otherwise it will become blocked. ^ Secure the front feet of the dryer with clamps when installing the machine on a concrete plinth. ,Do not use devices to turn the machine off automatically, (e.g. automatic timers).
Installation and connection Installation site ,Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation. Transporting the machine to its installation site When moving the machine, you can hold it by the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the dryer. To manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing case to its installation site, you will also need to hold it by the front feet. Levelling the machine ^ The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Installation and connection Electrical connection U.K. Important All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while installation work is being carried out.

Installation - extraction ducting General Avoid: ,Before operating the tumble – very long ducting systems. dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. – too many tight bends or corners. The dryer must be 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: . .
Installation - extraction ducting To calculate the effective duct length 3. Add all the additional length factors to give the effective 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 Installation to the rear, left or right hand side of the machine Calculation example To the rear The connection is opened at the factory. ^ Fit one of the venting systems described on the following pages. To the left or right side of the machine. A Wall pipe, with louvred vent = 1 x 3.8 m Additional duct length B/D 2 bends, 90° = 2 x 0.8 m Additional duct length C = 1.6 m 0.5 m plastic piping = 0.5 x 1 m Additional duct length E = 3.8 m = 0.
Installation - extraction ducting Overview of the different venting systems The various venting systems which are possible (a/b/c) are described on the pages that follow. a Venting system with plastic piping An adapter for installing piping is supplied with the dryer. Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to be ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe are less resistant to vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example.
Installation - extraction ducting b Venting system with flexible ducting Example Window vent Using an adapter*, this is a simple method of directing the moist air outside. The following items are required: – flexible ducting hose* – an adapter* for flexible ducting hose – a wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. (* optional extras) 1. Window vent kit (fitted in a "plexiglass" pane) (separate fitting instructions are supplied with the Miele window vent kit) 2.
Installation - extraction ducting Connection to an exhaust flue 1. Pipe with connection piece (= supplied with wall vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible ducting hose 3. Exhaust flue insulated against damp ,The exhaust air must not be vented into a chimney or vent flue which is in use, nor should it be connnected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
Installation - extraction ducting c Connecting directly to a wall vent Side view: The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. Because the vented air is blown directly outside and has only a short distance to go, this system is very efficient in terms of time and energy consumption. However, it involves boring through an outside wall. A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gasket* must be used (* optional extras). A Before drilling into the wall: . . .
