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 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 dispose of it with your general 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 dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

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 appliance.
Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data
~
on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match 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 it and an effective earthing system which complies with 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. The manufacturer 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 appliance (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. If this is not done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the warranty. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
~
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.
8
Page 9
Warning and Safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine must
~
be disconnected from the electricity supply. It 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.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
~
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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.
To ensure the correct performance of the appliance and to
~
prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
9
Page 10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Caution! Risk of fire.
,
To avoid the possible danger of fire please red these warnings carefully.
A clogged filter is a hazard! The lint filter must be cleaned after
,
every programme.
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 deposits (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 that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths) should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.
10
Page 11
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, are placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles or products must
~
not be dired in this tumble dryer: – Items which have been dry-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.
11
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
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. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the appliance 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.
The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have
~
been used to clean it.
For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, a carpet
~
must not obstruct the openings.
The tumble dryer must not be used
~
– without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged.
without the fine filter in place or if the fine filters are damaged.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault!
After every cycle, remove the fluff from the surfaces and the fluff
~
filters (see "Cleaning and care").
Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
~
The fluff filters and the fine filter must be thoroughly dried after
~
cleaning. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.
12
Page 13
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the doors, as this can cause the
~
tumble dryer to tip up. Danger of injury.
Always close the doors after use. This way you will avoid the
~
danger of:
children climbing into the appliance or hiding things in it.
pets or other small animals climbing into it.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the appliance.
~
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer stack free of dust
~
and fluff. Dust drawn into the appliance can cause blockages over time. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
The tumble dryer stack 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 appliance is to be connected to an existing ducting system, this must be checked for suitability beforehand.
13
Page 14
Warning and Safety instructions
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
appliance can only be operated when the window is open.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder must be sought.
The tumble dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place
~
or if the fluff filters are damaged in any way. Damaged filters can cause operational faults and blockages in the airways, the heating elements and in the ducting. Fire hazard! In the event of a damaged filter, switch the appliance 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 appliance may not be able to operate properly. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +50°C.
14
Page 15
Warning and Safety instructions
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable liquid must not
~
be stored or used near the tumble dryer stack. Fire and explosion risk.
Do not allow air contaminated with chlorine, fluorine or other
~
vapours containing solvents to get into the tumble dryer stack. Fire hazard.
For appliances 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 appliance.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
~
this appliance. 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.

Drying
q Normal/higher temperature. r Reduced temperature:
Select Low temperature (for delicate textiles).
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 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. . ., 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.
20
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.
Page 21
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.
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 immediately after drying.
. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if the laundry needs further processing after drying, e.g. machine ironing. See separate booklet "Commissioning, Programme chart and Settings".
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. It 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.

Programme duration/Estimated time remaining
When a programme is selected, the estimated duration 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 assess conditions in the appliance 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.
Before the end of a programme
In many programmes the heating phase is followed by the cooling down phase: Cooling down will appear in the display. The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase has been completed.
E Remove the laundry when the
programme has finished
Anti-crease (if selected) and Finish will appear in the display to indicate that the programme has finished.
During the anti-crease phase the drum will continue to turn at intervals until the laundry is removed. This helps to prevent laundry creasing.
It is recommended that laundry be removed as soon as the programme has finished.
Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying programme has finished.

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").

the tumble dryer must be secured with clamps* (available as an optional accessory).
– If it is being installed on an
existing plinth.
Instead of using clamps, all-round plinth edging in the area of the feet of the dryer may be sufficient.
– When a venting system with
plastic piping is used.
Room ventilation
As the air required for drying is
,
drawn from the room in which the dryer is installed, the room must be sufficiently ventilated, e.g. by vents in the outside wall which are permanently open.
The tumble dryer draws air in
,
from the back. For this reason, an appropriate gap must be maintained between the back of the dryer and the wall (see "Installation positions"). Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a sufficient flow of air to the dryer.

Electrical connection
The machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230V mains supply.
The voltage, rated load and fuse
,
rating are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the site mains supply.
The accesibility of the plug must always be ensured in order to separate the machine from the mains.
All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to protect the machine with a suitable residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA.
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.
Connection should be made via a suitable switching socket which is easily accessible after installation in order to separate the machine from the mains.
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

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 of a minimum of 150 cm be closed or blocked, or
a window switch which prevents the dryer being used when the window is closed.

Installation - extraction ducting
To calculate the total 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 total duct length which will be needed for the venting system. The total 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 total duct length is more than 20 m, the duct diameter should be increased (see Table II).
Procedure
1. First measure the distance requiring
straight ducting by the corresponding additional length factor in Table I.
. Multiply this amount
4. Refer to Table II for the appropriate
duct diameter required.
