Caring for the environment
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 appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy:
–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.
–Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated.
–Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer.
–Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
~ It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the tumble dryer, 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.
Correct application
~This tumble dryer is only intended for drying fabrics which have been washed in a water solution, and marked on the manufacturer's 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. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
~This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it by a person responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
~Keep children away from the tumble dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow them to play on or near it or to play with its controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.
~Older children may only use it if its operation has been clearly explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of incorrect use.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
~Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
~Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.
~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 tumble dryer 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 disconnected, or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
~This tumble dryer may only be used in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
~In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer 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 guarantee.
~Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
~ To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
–items which have not been washed.
–items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other desposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.
–items which have been treated with inflamable cleaning agents or contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, stain remover, turpentine, wax, wax remover or other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
–items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
~ To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
–fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
–items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
~In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase is complete.
Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry.
~Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the drying programme. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately, it could give off a great amount of heat.
~Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

Warning and Safety instructions
~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 cleaned regularly.
~The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place.
~The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.
~Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble dryer may not be able to operate properly.
There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump, hoses and / or condensed water container.
The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C.
~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 tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the condenser unit over time.
~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the tumble dryer to tip up.
~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.
~ The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
Accessories
~ Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Programme duration / Estimated time remaining
When a programme is selected, the estimated duration (time remaining) will appear in the display. Please be aware that it is only an estimate!
The following factors all affect the estimated time remaining: residual moisture content after spinning; type of fabric; size of load; room temperature; fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess conditions in the machine and adjust the estimated time remaining for a more accurate reading. Because of this, the time displayed can alter during the course of a programme.
In the same way, the Woollens handcare, Silks handcare and Smoothing programmes can finish earlier than expected if a certain temperature is reached. This can happen with particularly fine fabrics, very small loads or if items were partly dry beforehand.

Notes on laundry care
Care symbols
Before drying check the drying symbol on the care label. If there are no symbols, dry at your own risk!
q . . . . . . . . . Dry at normal temperature r . . . . . . . . . . . . Dry at low temperature s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Do not tumble dry
Tips on drying
–Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the "Programme chart". Never overload the drum.
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.
–For delicates and fabrics with the following care label r select Low temperature.
–Use the Automatic programme for drying mixed loads of cottons and minimum iron fabrics.
–Open jackets so that they can dry evenly.
–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 handcare programme.
–Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. 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 care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.
–Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry these textiles. Be particularly careful when using the Hygiene programmes. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.
–For garments made from very fine weave fibres, such as shirts or blouses, use the Shirts programme to avoid creasing. If in doubt, reduce the load or use the Smoothing programme.
–Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
–New dark coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light coloured garments to avoid the danger of colours running and discolouring other garments or even plastic components in the machine. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

A Sort the laundry
To ensure an even drying result separate out the washed laundry and sort it according to:
. . . the drying level required
. . . the type of fibre or weave
. . . size
. . . the moisture content after spinning.
,Make sure that objects e.g. detergent dispensing balls have been removed from the laundry. They could melt, and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.
–Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact.
–Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being trapped inside them.
–Fasten hooks and eyes etc.
–Tie fabric belts and apron strings.
–Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.
B Turn on the tumble dryer
^Switch the dryer on by pressing the
I-On/0-Off button in.
The tumble dryer may be switched on after loading, saving energy as the light will not come on.
C Load the tumble dryer
^Press the Door button to open the door.
^Load the laundry loosely into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. See the "Programme chart" for recommended loads for each programme. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.
^Before closing the door make sure the fluff filter is correctly positioned.
Check the laundry is right inside the drum so that it cannot get trapped or damaged when the door is shut.
^Shut the door either with a gentle swing, or lean against it and push it shut.
