External condensed water
outlet
When drying is in progress, condensed
water is pumped into the condensed
water container through the drain hose
at the back of the dryer. The
condensed water can also be drained
off directly if the machine is installed
near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that
the condensed water container does
not have to be emptied.
The drain hose (approx. 2 m long) is
stored in the dryer. It must be pulled
out of the dryer to its full extent if
condensed water is to be drained
externally. Maximum delivery head:
1 m.
If it is not long enough, an extension
hose is available as an optional
accessory through your dealer or from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

If you want to drain the water off
into a sink you will need to secure
the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to
a tap to make sure it cannot slip
during use. Otherwise there is a risk
of overflowing water which could
cause damage.
Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent
the drain hose from becoming kinked
(see "Front view" illustration).
