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 should 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.

Disposing of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines 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 machine. Please do not dispose of it with your household waste.

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. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing.

– Make sure that the room temperature

is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the dryer is located, make sure the room is well ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.

– After every cycle remove the fluff

from the fluff filters (see "Cleaning and Care").

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.

visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.

Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless

authorised to do so by Miele.

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).

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site 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).

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, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. 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.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to

prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance. Please also read the "Electrical connection" section.

The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

This tumble dryer uses refrigerant gas which is not flammable and

–

not explosive.

The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying

–

process are normal and do not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

–

length of time after it has been installed provided it has been transported correctly (see "Installation and connection").

If it has not been transported as described, ensure that the

–

recommended standing time prior to first operation is observed. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.

– This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gas).

They are hermetically sealed. Designation of refrigerant: R134a Amount of refrigerant: 0.50 kg Global warming potential of refrigerant: 1430 kg CO Global warming potential of appliance: 715 kg CO

Warning and Safety instructions

Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to

disconnect the tumble dryer from the electricity supply.

For hard-wired machines, the all-pole isolator provided on-site

must be easily accessible after installation in order to disconnect the tumble dryer from the electricity supply.

Do not block the gap between the base of the dryer and the floor

with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. as this would hinder a sufficient intake of air.

Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after

installation.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with

particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room lighting.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The maximum load of dry laundry for this tumble dryer is 6.5 kg.

See the Programme chart for the maximum recommended loads in individual programmes.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the

tumble dryer to tip up. Danger of injury.

Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the

danger of:

children climbing into the dryer or hiding things in it.

–

– pets or other small animals climbing into it.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer.

Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and

fluff. Dust drawn into the appliance can cause blockages. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.

This dryer must not be used:

– without the fluff filters or the plinth filter in place.

– without the grille on the bottom right in place.

–

if the fluff filters or plinth filter are damaged in any way. In the event of any damage, replace them immediately.

This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault.

Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid operational faults:

After every cycle remove fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.

–

The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dried after being

–

cleaned with water. Wet fluff filters or a wet plinth filter could cause operational faults.

Always clean the airways (fluff filters, plinth filter, grille bottom

–

right) when the prompt to do so appears in the display.

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 and hoses. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C.

If the condensed water is drained externally, 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might self-ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.

items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with

–

inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax, wax remover or other chemicals.

– 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.

Remove all items such as lighters and matches from pockets.

Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying

programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or spread out to cool it down.

Warning and Safety instructions

Danger.

This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket (e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device). If the dryer programme were to be interrupted before the end of the cooling down phase, the laundry could self-combust.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:

items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g.

–

professional dry-cleaning agents).

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.

– damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,

jackets). When damaged, the filling can 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 has been completed. As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the drum.

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

Warning and Safety instructions

Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable liquid must not

be stored or used near the tumble dryer. Danger of fire and explosion.

Do not allow air contaminated with chlorine, fluorine or other

vapours containing solvents to get into the tumble dryer. Fire hazard.

For tumble dryers with stainless steel surfaces:

The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive. Do not, therefore, store containers of these agents near the tumble dryer.

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

this tumble dryer. If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing

machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele tumble dryer and Miele washing machine.

If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an

optional accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this tumble dryer.

Notes and tips on laundry care

1. Sort the laundry

Garment care label symbols

Drying

q/r Normal/low temperature

Drying is carried out at a low temperature in every programme in this dryer, so you do not need to sort your garments according to whether they have the q or r symbol.

s Do not tumble dry

Ironing

I Very hot H Hot G Warm J Do not iron

Before drying

– Wash heavily soiled items very

thoroughly, ensuring that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

–

Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. 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.

New dark-coloured garments should

–

be washed and dried separately from light-coloured garments the first few times they are washed, to avoid the risk of colours running and discolouring other garments or even the plastic components in the machine. Dark-coloured fibres can also settle on light-coloured garments and vice versa.

Starched laundry can be dried in the

–

tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.

– Check the seams of padded or

down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out. These could catch fire in the tumble dryer.

– Tie together textile belts and apron

ties to stop them getting tangled.

– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent

small items from being trapped inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes.

–

Stitch in or remove loose underwiring from bras.

–

Leave jackets open and undo any long zips so that textiles dry evenly.

–

For an even drying result, it is important to... . . . spin, . . . shake out, . . . and sort items according to fabric type, size and the drying level required.

Notes and tips on laundry care

2. Load the tumble dryer

Using the tumble dryer

incorrectly could cause a fire. Read the "Warning and Safety instructions" before using the dryer.

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.

Do not overload the drum.

–

Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.

– To save energy, always observe the

maximum load for each programme (see "Programme chart").

– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease

more the greater the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabrics, such as shirts or blouses. If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabrics.

3. Select a programme

On many programmes, different

–

drying levels can be selected depending on individual requirements:

. . . e.g. Normal+ for laundry that you want to fold and put away immedi ately after drying.

. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if the laundry needs further processing after drying, e.g. machine ironing. See "Programme chart".

Select Gentle tumble for delicate

–

fabrics (drying with reduced mechanical action).

– 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 items 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.

–

Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. Only dry these fabrics in a Woollens programme.

–

Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.
