Contents

Read the operating instructions

carefully before using this appliance

for the first time. They contain impor-

tant information about the safety, use

and maintenance of the appliance.

This way you will avoid the risk of

accidents and damage to the appli-

ance.

Keep these operating 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.

Correct use

The tumble dryer is only intended

for drying fabrics which have been

washed in a water solution, marked on

the manufacturer’s wash care label as

being suitable for tumble drying.

"Dry Cleaning Kits" for freshening up

garments in a tumble dryer are increas-

ingly available on the market. If using,

do so at your own risk and follow the in-

structions provided on the packaging.

Any other applications may be danger-

ous. The manufacturer is not liable for

damage resulting from improper use or

operation.

Do not let small children play with the

machine or its controls. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine

check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install or use a dam-

aged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-

quency) matches the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-

fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this ma-

chine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the appliance and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

regularly tested by a qualified electri-

cian. The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-

tric shock).

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an ex-

tension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

machine (e.g. danger or overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in un-

foreseen dangers for the user, for which

the manufacturer cannot accept re-

sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-

dertaken by a Miele approved techni-

cian.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance while maintenance or repair

work is being carried out.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fitted

can the safety standards of the ma-

chine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions

If the mains cable becomes dam-

aged it must be replaced with an

Miele original cable.

In the event of a fault or for clean-

ing 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.

Operation

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft

etc. However, it may be suitable for

such usage subject to a risk assess-

ment of the installation being carried

out by a suitably qualified engineer.

This dryer must not be:

– connected to a chimney or vent flue

which is in use.

–used without exhaust ducting.

–used without the fluff filter in place or

if the fluff filter is damaged in any

way.

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.

Adequate ventilation is essential,

especially where another appli-

ance which also uses the room air (e.g.

gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous

flow or other water heater) is installed in

the same or an adjacent room. To en-

sure safe operation, and to prevent

gases given off by these appliances

being drawn back into the room, an

underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maxi-

mum permissible. Ventilation can be

maintained by air inlets which cannot

be blocked, in windows, doors and out-

side wall vents, or by an automatic win-

dow opening arrangement when the

tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,

the advice of a competent builder, or

for gas, a "Corgi" installer (in UK) must

be sought.

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 fire-

places. It would be dangerous if smoke

or exhaust fumes were drawn back into

the room.

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may

drop down to or below freezing. At very

cold temperatures the machine may be

difficult to start.

Always keep the area around the

machine free of dust and fluff.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the

door, as this can cause the ma-

chine to start tipping up.

There is danger of fire with fabrics

which:

– contain a large proportion of rubber,

foam rubber or rubber like materials.

– have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents.

– have been splashed with hair lac-

quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover

or similar substances.

– which contain padding or fillings

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were

damaged the filling could leak out

with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

–are soiled with oil or grease.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not

be covered by the appliance guar-

antee.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee, per-

formance and product liability claims

may be invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed safely and kept

out of the reach of babies and young

children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materi-

als away, please ensure they are of-

fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which

can be reclaimed or recycled. Please

contact your dealer, your local waste

collection centre or scrap merchant

about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Before throwing an old appliance away,

unplug it and render the plug useless.

Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-

pliance to prevent misuse. This should

be done by a competent person.

Energy saving tips

^Make sure that your laundry is thor-

oughly spun before drying.

The higher the spin, the greater the

savings that can be made in energy

and time during drying.

^When the ambient temperature is

warm (over 25°C) e.g. in summer, se-

lect the

Energy save

additional option

to reduce energy consumption.

^Load according to the optimum

amount of laundry recommended for

the programme being used (see

Programme chart).

Underloading is uneconomical. Over-

loading gives a poorer quality of drying

and may cause unnecessary creasing.

^To avoid unnecessarily long drying

times and high consumption of en-

ergy:

– Make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

–Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-

fore using the dryer.

–Check all parts of the ventilation sys-

tem on a regular basis and remove

any build up of fluff etc.

^The vent ducting should be as short,

straight and smooth as possible to

minimise any resistance to the air

throughflow.

This helps to reduce running times

and energy consumption levels.

Guide to the appliance

Display

The display shows a variety of func-

tions:

–it displays how long a programme

has to run in hours and minutes;

–with "Delay start" it displays the time

remaining until the programme starts;

–it displays programmable functions

being selected and de-selected.

Time left display for Cottons and Min-

imum ron programmes

Once a sensor programme has started

the time left for a programme to run will

be calculated by the machine. During

this calculation period the following

bars will flash in the display: ===...

=== ... -== ... == ... After approx. 1 minute

the programme duration will appear in

the display and proceed to count down

in minutes.

The programme duration can vary each

time a programme is run because it is

affected by a variety of factors e.g:

–the moisture content after spinning.

–the type of textiles

–the quantity of laundry in the drum

–the ambient room temperature

–fluctuations in the electricity supply

The electronic unit adapts to each indi-

vidual load of laundry. The time remain-

ing for a programme to run shown in

the display is calculated constantly dur-

ing a programme. This means that the

time displayed may fluctuate during the

programme. If the the time remaining in

the display has flashing bars in front of

it this indicates that the programme is

about to enter the cooling down phase

and is not indicative of a fault.

The time remaining displayed should

not be taken as an accurate time mea-

surement. It is an estimate of when your

laundry should reach the level dryness

you have selected.

Future updates

The indicator or check light marked

"PC" allows a service engineer to up-

date your machine in future years.

See "After Sales Service".

Electronic lock and programmable

functions

structions.

Guide to the appliance

Wash care labels

Before drying check the drying sym-

bol on the wash care label.

Significance of symbols:

qDry at normal temperature

rDry at low temperature

sDo not tumble dry

If no symbol is featured, dry at your

own risk applying the following princi-

ples:

Cotton and minimum iron items should

be dried using the appropriate

programme for the degree of drying re-

quired. See programme chart.

For delicates and fabrics with the fol-

lowing wash care label rdry using the

Low temperature

option.

Never overload the drum. Always

observe the maximum recom-

mended loads given in the

"Programme chart". Overloading can

cause unnecessary wear and tear to

the laundry, give a disappointing

drying result and cause more creas-

ing.

Tips on drying

Woollens and wool blends tend to be-

come matted and shrink if dried in a

tumble dryer. They can, however, be

partially dried using the

Woollens hand

care

programme.

Items filled with down.

The fine fabric interior of these items

may shrink depending on the quality.

These items can be partially dried us-

ing the

Smoothing

programme.

Pure linen should only be machine

dried if specified as suitable by the

manufacturer on the wash care label,

as the surface of the fabric may other-

wise "roughen". These items can be

partially dried using the

Smoothing

programme.

Woven and loopknit materials (e.g.

T-shirts, knitted garments) have a ten-

dency to shrink, depending on their

quality and this is made worse by

over-drying. When purchasing these

garments it is advisable to take their

shrinkage properties into account.

Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton

shirts or blouses tend to crease more,

the larger the load being dried,

particulary when the weave of the fab-

ric is very fine. Reduce the load or use

the MINIMUM IRON -

Hand iron

programme with a max. load of 1 kg. If

this is unsatisfactory use the Special

care "Smoothing" setting, then hang the

garments on a hanger to dry.

Starched laundry can be dried in the

tumble dryer. In order to achieve the

usual finish, double the amount of

starch should be used.

New dark coloured garments should be

dried separately from light coloured

garments to avoid the danger of col-

ours running.
