Contents

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, use and maintenance.

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

increasingly available on the market. If

using, do so at your own risk and follow

the instructions provided on the

packaging.

Any other applications may be

dangerous. The manufacturer is not

liable for damage resulting from

improper use or operation.

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury, do not allow

children to play on or near it, or to

play with the 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

damaged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and

frequency) matches the mains

electricity supply. If in any doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

machine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the machine and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

regularly tested, and where there is any

doubt the household wiring system

should be inspected by a qualified

electrician. The manufacturer cannot be

held liable for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system (e.g.

electric shock).

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an

extension 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

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which the manufacturer cannot accept

liability. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved

technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine 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

machine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In the event of a fault or for

cleaning purposes, the machine is

only completely isolated from the

electiricty 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

assessment of the installation being

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

The dryer must not be used without

the fluff filters in place or if the fluff

filters are damaged in any way.

The fluff filters must be thoroughly

dried after cleaning. If they are still

damp or wet when replaced there is a

risk of faults occurring when the

machine is used.

The dryer must not be used without

the condenser unit in place.

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.

There is a risk of damage if the

condensed water is allowed to freeze in

the pump, hoses and / or condensed

water container.

If the water is drained externally

through the drain hose instead of

being collected in the condensed water

container, make sure the drain hose is

securely attached if you hang it in a

sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping

and the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health

problems in both people and animals.

Always keep the area around the

machine free of dust and fluff. Dust

drawn into the machine can, over time,

cause blockages in the condenser unit.

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

machine to tip 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

lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish

remover or similar substances.

– 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

machine 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 machine

guarantee.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee,

performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

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 of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Old machines 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 machine presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Before throwing an old machine

away unplug it and render the plug

useless. Cut off the cable directly

behind the machine to prevent misuse.

This should be done by a competent

person.

Energy saving tips

^Make sure that your laundry is

thoroughly spun before drying.

The higher the spin, the greater the

savings that can be made in energy

and time during drying.

^Load according to the optimum

amount of laundry recommended for

the programme being used (see

Programme chart).

Underloading is uneconomical.

Overloading gives a poorer quality of

drying and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

^To save energy and time:

– Make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Make sure the fluff filters are clean

before using the dryer.

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

Minimum 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

individual load of laundry. The time

remaining for a programme to run

shown in the display is calculated

constantly during a programme. This

means that the time displayed may

fluctuate during the programme. If 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

measurement. It is an estimate of when

your laundry should reach the level

dryness you have selected.

Future updates

The indicator lamp marked "PC" is

explained in "After Sales Service".

Guide to the appliance

Wash care labels

Before drying check the drying

symbol 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

principles:

Cotton and minimum iron items should

be dried using the appropriate

programme for the degree of drying

required. See programme chart.

For delicates and fabrics with the

following wash care label rdry using

the

Low temperature

option.

Never overload the drum. Do not

exceed the maximum recommended

loads given in the "Programme

chart". Overloading can cause

unnecessary wear and tear to the

laundry, give a disappointing drying

result and cause more creasing.

Do not put soaking wet items into

the tumble dryer. Spin them

thoroughly after washing using the

appropriate spin speed.

Tips on drying

Woollens and wool blends tend to

become 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 fabric lining on these garments

may shrink depending on the quality.

They can be partially dried using 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

otherwise "roughen". These items can

be partially dried using the

Smoothing

programme.

Woven and loopknit materials (e.g.

T-shirts, knitted garments) have a

tendency 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

fabric 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.
