Caring for the environment
Disposing 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 recycled.
Disposing of your old machine
Electrical and electronic appliances / 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 the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Remove the fluff from the filter when
necessary (see "Cleaning and Care").
– Check all parts of the ventilation
system 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.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre or contact your Chartered Agent for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

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 they are made available to new users. They must be made aware of these warning and safety instructions.
Pass these instructions on to any future users/owners of the tumble dryer.
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.
5
Page 6
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
~
This tumble dryer 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.
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 its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are using it.
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
~
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.
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 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. Ensure current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
6
Page 7
Warning and Safety instructions
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 machine and to prevent
~
the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check the machine and carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
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.
This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
~
installations (e.g. on a ship).
In 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 warranty.
7
Page 8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To avoid the possible danger of fire please read these
,
warnings carefully.
A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
,
The lint filter must be cleaned after every programme.
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 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.
~
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
~
fluff. Dust drawn into the appliance can, over time, cause blockages. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
8
Page 9
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must only be used when it is connected to a
~
suitable ducting system. The installation site must be adequately ventilated.
The ducting must not be connected to
~
a chimney or vent flue which is in use,
or to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces,
or to chimneys being used by other appliances.
Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause poisoning.
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 to avoid the danger of
~
asphyxia and toxic fumes where another appliance 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 ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the maximum permissible. Ventilation can be maintained by:
air inlets in the external wall which cannot be closed or blocked, or
by fitting a window contact switch which ensures that the tumble dryer can only be operated when the window is opened wide enough.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder must be sought.
9
Page 10
Warning and Safety instructions
If more than one tumble dryer is being installed using a joint
~
ducting system, each dryer must have its own non-return flap to the joint ducting system. Otherwise the dryers could be damaged, endangering their electrical safety.
The fluff filter must be cleaned regularly.
~
The dryer must not be used without the fluff filter in place or if the
~
fluff filter is damaged in any way. Damaged filters can cause operational faults and blockages in the airways, heating elements and ducting. Fire hazard! In the event of a damaged filter, switch the dryer off and replace the filter with a new one.
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. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C
10
Page 11
Warning and Safety instructions
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
~
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 inflammable 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.
11
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
~
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Risk of fire!
~
This tumble dryer must not be connected to a power socket with a timer or overloading switch-off, e.g. mult-socket powerboard. If the drying programme is interrupted, there is the risk of laundry catching fire.
12
Page 13
Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles or products must
~
not be dried in this tumble dryer:
Items which have been dry-cleaned (for example, with a chemical
treatment).
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.
Fabrics 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.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable liquid must not
~
be stored or used near the tumble dryer. Fire and explosion risk!
Do not allow air contaminated with chlorine, fluorine or other
~
vapours containing solvents to get into the tumble dryer. Fire hazard.
13
Page 14
Warning and Safety instructions
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 store containers of these agents near the machine.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
~
machine. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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 tumble dryer. 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 etc.
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, care label 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 tumble 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.
Remove all objects from pockets
such as lighters and matches.
– 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 the separate booklet "Commissioning, Programme chart and Settings").
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. See separate booklet "Commissioning, Programme chart and Settlings".
For delicate fabrics with the r care
label, select Low temperature as well.
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.
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 these textiles. When purchasing these garments, it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

An unsatisfactory drying result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
The laundry is not sufficiently dry.
Feather filled pillows smell after drying.
Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying.
There is a build-up of fluff.
The load consisted of different fabrics.
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and has no appreciable effect on the lifetime of the fabric.
Finish drying using the
Hot air programme (timed drying).
Next time, select a
more suitable programme (see "Programme chart" in the separate booklet "Commissioning, Programme chart and Settings").
The smell will dissipate after sufficient airing.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner to the final rinse in the washing programme or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load when drying.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filter and can be easily removed (see "Cleaning and care").

Installation - extraction ducting
General
Before operating the tumble
,
dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside.
The dryer must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply whilst the ducting system is installed.
The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall) should be installed in such a way that the moist expelled air:
. .cannot be drawn back into the room in which the dryer is installed; . . . cannot cause any damage to the building or other nuisance.
The dryer uses the room air. It is therefore essential to ensure adequate ventilation to avoid the danger of asphyxia and toxic fumes caused by gases given off by other appliances being drawn back into the room. Insufficient ventilation will also cause drying times to be considerably longer. Ventilation can be maintained by:
Avoid:
very long ducting systems.
too many tight bends or corners.
Otherwise the drying result will be less effective, and it will take longer and use more energy.
Suitable materials
for the ventilation ducting:
flexible ducting* or plastic piping with a diameter of at least 100 mm.
for venting to the outside:
a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*.
(* optional extras)
an open window,
air inlets in the external wall (approx. 237 cm blocked, or
a window contact which prevents the dryer being used when the window is closed.

) which cannot be closed or
47
Page 48
Installation - extraction ducting
To calculate the effective duct length
Friction against the inner walls of the vent ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through the ducting. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor. The additional duct length factors are calculated by comparing the friction created by, for example, an elbow to that created by 1 metre of straight plastic piping (see Table 1).
The additional duct length factor for each item needs to be added together to ascertain the effective duct length which will be needed for the venting system. The effective duct length is a means of calculating the friction created by the venting system as a whole.
A larger internal duct diameter also helps reduce friction. If the effective duct length is more than 20 m, the duct diameter should be increased (see Table II).
To calculate the effective duct length
1. First measure the distance requiring
straight ducting by the corresponding additional length factor in Table I.
2. Establish the number of angles,
bends etc., and add their additional length factors together with the help of Table I.
. Multiply this amount
3. Add all the additional length factors to give the effective duct length.
4. Refer to Table II for the appropriate duct diameter required.

Venting system with plastic piping
An adapter for installing piping is supplied with the dryer. Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to be ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe are less resistant to vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping.
The following items are required:
– an adapter (supplied)
– a wall vent kit* or window vent kit*
(* optional extras)
– suitable plastic piping, available from
a builders' merchant. Where the pipe diameter is more than 100 mm, an adapter is necessary (e.g. 100 to 125 mm) to connect the pipe to the dryer.
^ The piping (2) is connected to
adapter (1) which is fitted into the vent opening on the dryer.
