Levelling the machine

The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.

^

The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.

,

The air inlet and outlet vents on

the front of the machine must not be
covered as this would prevent
sufficient ventilation for cooling the
condenser unit.

Room in which the dryer is located

Air taken in for use in the drying
process will be warm when it is
expelled from the front of the dryer. This
expelled air heats up the air in the
room. It is therefore very important to
ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated, particularly if the dryer is
located in a small room. Otherwise
running times and energy consumption
could be increased.

Washer-dryer stack

The tumble dryer can also be
combined with a Miele washing
machine in a washer-dryer stack. The
appropriate "WTV" stacking kit
(available to order) to match your dryer
is required.

,

Stacking kits must only be

installed by a suitably qualified fitter.

Before moving the machine again
(e.g. when moving house)

After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
around the pump. This water can run
out if the machine is tipped up when it
is being moved. It is a good idea to run
the

Cool air

programme for

approximately 1 minute before moving
the machine. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the
condensed water container or out
through the drain hose.
