Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the
appliance from damage during transporta­tion. The packaging materials used are se­lected from materials which are environ­mentally friendly for disposal and should be
recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of
raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often
contain valuable materials. They also con­tain specific materials, compounds and
components, which were essential for their
correct function and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the envir­onment if disposed of with your domestic
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do
not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.

Tips for saving energy

This heat-pump tumble dryer offers the
latest technological features. These help
reduce its energy consumption during dry­ing by about 50% compared to the energy
consumption of conventional electrically
heated tumble dryers.

The following tips will help you to make fur­ther savings in energy consumption:

– Make sure your laundry is spun in the

washing machine at the maximum spin
speed.

– Carry out the final rinse in the washing

machine with hot water. This results in a
lower residual moisture content and in­creased residual heat in the laundry after
washing. This reduces the time required
for drying and thus saves energy.

– Sort the laundry:

- by fibre and weave,

- by the required level of drying,

- by residual moisture.

Please dispose of it at your local community
waste collection / recycling centre for elec­trical and electronic appliances, or contact
your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on country)
for deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed of.
Please ensure that your old appliance poses
no risk to children while being stored prior
to disposal.

– Dry the maximum amount specified for

the drying programme whenever possible.
Energy consumption is more economical
for a full load. Partial loads are not eco­nomical. Over loading the drum hampers
drying results and affects the finish.

– The drying process is more efficient with a

clean fluff filter and heat-exchanger. This
reduces the time it takes to dry the laun­dry as well as the amount of energy re­quired.

– Ensure sufficient room ventilation.

these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important in­formation for your safety, and about using and looking after the tumble dryer.

If other persons are being shown how to operate the tumble dryer, they must be given
and/or made aware of these important safety instructions.

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 intended only for use in a commercial environment and must only

be operated indoors.

 This tumble dryer must only be operated by expert staff or trained personnel.
 If the tumble dryer is to be operated in an area accessible to the public, the supervisor

must ensure that it can be operated safely without risk of danger to others.

 This tumble dryer must be used as described in these instructions and must be checked

on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning correctly.

 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.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting
from incorrect or improper use or operation.

 This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

5

Warning and Safety instructions

Preventing problems

 Empty all pockets to prevent the risk of flammable items such as lighters and cosmetics

getting into the tumble dryer.

 To prevent the risk of fire, do not dry the following textiles in the 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 cooking oil, 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 (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with inflammable cleaning

agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.

– Items that have been cleaned using industrial chemical agents.

– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or

similar substances.

Heavily soiled laundry must be washed particularly thoroughly.

Increase the detergent dosage and select a high wash temperature.

Wash the laundry several times if necessary.

 To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer:

– Items 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 it igniting in the dryer.

 The heating-phase is followed in many programmes by cooling-down phase. The pro-

gramme is not finished until this cooling-down phase has finished. This ensures that the
laundry is at a safe temperature which will not damage it.
Unload the drum completely as soon as the programme has finished.
Danger of laundry self-igniting if it is put away or stored whilst still hot.

 During the drying process the door glass and frame around the door will get hot.

Danger of burning!

 Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry.

Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

 Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter fitted.

Fire hazard without the filter!

A damaged filter must be replaced immediately. Otherwise the airways and the heater ele­ments will get clogged up by fluff. The correct functioning of the tumble dryer cannot be
assured if the filters or airways are impeded.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,

however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

 This tumble dryer must only be set up and commissioned by a Miele Service technician

or authorised Miele Service Dealer.

 Before installation check the tumble dryer for any obvious damage. A damaged tumble

dryer must not be installed and/or used.

 The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.

It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the
on-site wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

 This tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when the plug

has been withdrawn from the socket, it has been switched off at the mains isolator, or the
mains fuse is disconnected.

 Machines with a damaged control panel, wires or cables must not be used until they

have been repaired.

 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.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The

manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the machine when Miele replacement parts
are used.

 This tumble dryer must not be operated in the same room as a machine that uses

solvents containing CFCs. Vapours given off by these break down to form hydrochloric
acid which can have a damaging effect on the laundry and the machine. If installed in ad­joining rooms there must be no exchange of air between the two rooms.

 Make sure the tumble dryer has a supply of fresh air. Do not expose it to air which is

contaminated with vapour from chlorine, fluorine or other solvents.

 The air intake for the tumble dryer is located at the front of the machine. This opening

must never, under any circumstances, be blocked or hindered by objects such as laundry
baskets etc.

 Cool air is extracted out to the rear of the tumble dryer. This area must not be blocked.

Please ensure that the minimum gap required, as shown on the installation drawing, is
maintained.

 Do not store or use benzine, petrol, paraffin, or other easily flammable liquids near the

machine. Do not use the machine lid as a resting place.
Danger of fire or explosion.

 To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults

and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

 This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases as a refrigerant. They are her-

metically sealed. Designation: R 134a

7

Warning and Safety instructions

 Heat pump and refrigerant:

– This tumble dryer uses refrigerant gas which is not flammable and not explosive.

– After transporting the machine to its installation site allow it to stand for approx.

30minutes before connecting it to the electrical supply.
This is to protect the heat-pump from damage.

If the heat-pump has been subjected to an inclination greater than 45° during transport­ation, or if there is a significant difference in temperature between the tumble dryer and
the installation room, the standing time should be increased accordingly.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 The max. dry laundry weight is 10 kg.
 Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control elements of the

tumble dryer.

 Only operate the tumble when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is im-

possible to touch an electrical component or moving part.

 Danger of squashing or cutting fingers etc. around the drum door hinges and the fluff fil-

ter cover. Use the appropriate handles and release catches only.

 The area necessary to open the drum door completely must not be obstructed by doors

or other structures.

 Disinfecting and cleaning agents often have compounds containing chlorides in them. If

these agents dry on to stainless steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the steel
and can cause rusting. To protect your machine from rust damage, we recommend only
using chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing and disinfecting pro­grammes and for cleaning stainless steel surfaces of the machine itself. If you are unsure
about a particular agent, contact the manufacturer of that agent for advice. Accidental
spillages of agents containing chlorides should be rinsed off affected surfaces with water
and then dried with a soft cloth.

 Do not use a pressure washer or hose pipe to clean the tumble dryer. This also applies

to the area behind the service panel at the front of the tumble dryer.

 After use there is a danger around the refrigerant pipework and adjoining components of

hot or cold surfaces and parts being under pressure. Allow sufficient time for the machine
to cool down before opening any panels.

 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or
have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con­sequences of incorrect operation.

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble dryer unless they are

constantly supervised.

 Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer unsupervised if they have

been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of in­correct operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble dryer unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do not let them play

with it.

 Close the drum door after each drying cycle. This is to avoid the risk of children trying to

climb into the tumble dryer or hide things it, and animals getting into the drum.

Safety measures in the event of leaking refrigerant

 The heat-pump coolant circuit contains a non-toxic, odourless refrigerant (R134a). If re-

leased into the atmosphere it is rapidly volatised. Because it is heavier than air it can dis­place oxygen and pose a danger of asphyxiation in small unventilated rooms!

9

Warning and Safety instructions

 If any damage is found on the copper pipes on the heat-pump stop using the machine

and vacate the room.

– Warn other people present of the danger.

– Please see the safety data sheet for further information regarding the handling of this re-

frigerant.

– Call Miele Service.

Using accessories

 Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are

used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

Decommissioning the tumble dryer

 Before disposing of a tumble dryer, render the door lock inoperable so that children can-

not lock themselves in the machine by mistake and endanger their lives.

 Observe legal safety requirements regarding the disposal of refrigerants.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Drying

Laundry preparation

Not all textiles are suitable for drying in a tumble dryer. Please ob­serve the symbols on the textile care label.

Symbols on care labels:
–  dry with normal temperature.
–  dry with low temperature
–  do not tumble dry

Tip: For even drying results and to avoid damaging textiles sort the
laundry by fibre and weave.

Only dry items in this tumble dryer which have a care label stating
that they are suitable for tumble drying.

Machine drying unsuitable textiles poses a fire hazard.

The following textiles must not be tumble dried:

– Fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or

rubber-like materials.

Woollen or linen
textiles.

– Fabrics treated with inflammable cleaning agents.

– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail

varnish remover or similar substances.

– Items soiled with oil, grease and similar residues e.g. kitchen linen

and linen used in beauty clinics.

– Items such as mop heads and cleaning cloths containing residual

wax or chemicals.

– Damaged items that contain fillings, e.g. pillows and jackets.

– Textiles that are soiled with grease or oils that have not been ad-

equately washed. Use a heavy-duty detergent for very heavily
soiled items (e.g. workwear). Seek the advice of the detergent man­ufacturer for advice if necessary.

Woollen items and textiles containing wool have a tendency to felt.

 Use the "Woollens" programme only for woollen items and textiles

containing wool.

Pure linen has a tendency to roughen if tumble dried.

 Please follow the manufacturer's instructions on the care label.

Drying

Important notes about drying

Protect the drum from damage (scratches and dents).

 Before placing items in the tumble dryer wrap any large metal parts

such as buckles, hooks, clasps and zips etc. with a cloth.

Items with closed metal zips can cause the moisture sensing elec­trodes in the drum ribs to be bridged. This can lead to the drying pro­cess running on for too long or to not finish at all.

 Dry these items with the zip open.

Loopknit and woven textiles (e.g. t-shirts) have a tendency to shrink
depending on quality. This can be made worse by over-drying.

 Do not use the "Cottons Extra Dry" programme for these items.

Starched laundry can be machine dried. Select the most appropriate
programme for ironing by hand.

 Sort the laundry according to the level of dryness required.

It is not necessary to sort according to size.

Small items can find their way into duvet covers and pillow cases
during the drying programme.

 Close or fasten duvet covers and pillow cases before drying them.

Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading will impair the drying res­ult and the laundry finish.

 Dry using the maximum load for the programme whenever possible.

 Rinse laundry in the washing machine using hot water in the final

rinse.

This reduces the residual moisture level and maintains heat in the
laundry which helps keep processing time down, thus saving energy.

14

Before using for the first time

Drying

– The filters can be cleaned without taking them out.

– With high levels of fluff the fluff filters may need to be cleaned sev-

eral times during the day.

– The second level fluff filter can, if necessary, be cleaned using a va-

cuum cleaner.

27

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter behind the air inlet

The air inlet to the dryer is located at the front of the tumble dryer (d).
A fluff filter is located behind this air inlet which has to be cleaned
regularly.

The filter behind the air inlet prevent dust particles from the room
being drawn in by the fan. This filter must be checked daily and
cleaned when necessary.

 Open the fluff filter compartment

 Wipe fluff off the filter with your fingers. Do not let anything sharp or

pointed come into contact with it.

Do not cover the air intake at the front of the machine or place any­thing in front of it.

28

Installation and connection

Installation requirements

The tumble dryer must only be installed and commissioned by a
Miele service engineer or a Miele authorised Service dealer.

 The tumble dryer must be installed in accordance with all relevant

regulations and standards.

 This dryer must only be operated in a room that has sufficient vent-

ilation and which is frost-free.

General operating conditions

Permissible ambient temperature in installation room: +2°C to
+43°C.

Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and
vibration may occur.

Tip: Have the installation site inspected and seek the advice of a pro­fessional in instances where increased noise may cause a nuisance.

Removal of trans­port packaging

Transporting the machine

When transporting the dryer be aware of its total height.
Be careful when transporting it on a pallet truck that it does not tip

up.

 Unscrew Torx screws (T20 and T30) from the wooden pallet and re-

move the wooden battens.

 Lift the tumble dryer with a pallet truck and then fit the 4 adjustable

feet (supplied).

29

Installation and connection

Set up

 Place the tumble dryer on a totally level, secure and horizontal sur-

face that is able to take the load of the machine (see "Technical
data").

The floor load created by the dryer is concentrated and transferred
to the installation footprint via the machine feet.

 To ensure suitable access for further maintenance and service

work, please ensure the minimum distances between the machine
and any walls are maintained.

 With the assistance of a spirit level align the dryer horizontally and

vertically by adjusting the height of the feet.

 After aligning the tumble dryer tighten the counter nuts by turning

them in an anti-clockwise direction with a spanner. This will prevent
the feet from adjusting themselves.

After setting up the tumble dryer please let it stand for approx. 30
minutes before using it for the first time. If the heat-pump unit was
tilted by an angle exceeding 30° before the tumble dryer was set
up, or if it was subjected to excessive movement, please let the
dryer stand for 24hours before using it.

Otherwise the heat pump can suffer damage.

30

Installation and connection

Securing the machine

The tumble dryer can be secured to the floor by fitting the clamps
supplied over the feet.

Fittings supplied are for installation on a concrete floor. For other
types of flooring please purchase suitable fitting materials separ­ately.

Fitting the programme card

A language specific programme card is supplied with the tumble
dryer that indicates the individual positions around the rotary se­lector. This card has to be fitted behind the fascia panel before the
machine is set up for the first time.

 Peel the protective foil off the control panel.

 Carefully lift up the lower part of the control panel foil underneath

the programme selector dial.

 Push the programme card in underneath the control panel foil and

align it.

 Remove the dividers located underneath it and press the control

panel foil back in at the bottom.

31

Installation and connection

Electrical connection

The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electri­cian who must ensure that all electrical work is carried out in ac­cordance with applicable electrical regulations and standards (BS
7671 in the UK).

 The electrical connection may only be made to an electrical system

provided in accordance with all appropriate local and national legisla­tion and regulations. In addition, all regulations of the appropriate util­ity supply companies and standards relating to safety, and all applic­able valid regulations and technical standards must be complied with!

 Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be as-

sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The required voltage, power consumption and fuse rating are
quoted on the data plate on the tumble dryer. Ensure that the sup­ply voltage complies with the voltage quoted on the data plate be­fore connecting the tumble dryer to the mains.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage to the tumble
dryer.

 If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the tumble

dryer can be converted for connection to the voltages stated. Con­version to a different voltage must only be carried out by a Miele Ser­vice engineer or by an authorised Miele Service dealer. The wiring in­formation given on the wiring diagram must be followed. Settings for
heater ratings in the machine must also be observed and adapted as
necessary.

This dryer can either be hard-wired or connected via a plug and
socket that complies with IEC60309-1.

For hard-wired machines connection should be made via a suitable
mains switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position,
ensures a 3 mm gap between all open contacts. These include cir­cuit breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN60947).

If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against be­ing switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.

Tip: We recommend connection to the power supply via a suitable IP
44 plug and socket which must be easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine has been installed. An electrical
safety test must be carried out after installation and after any service
work.

32

 The machine must not be connected to devices such as timers

which would switch it off automatically.

Installation and connection

Air intake vent

Air intake for the condenser is via an air intake vent at the front of
the dryer. Air is taken from the room in which the dryer is installed.

A fluff filter is located in the air intake vent in the dryer. This must be
regularly cleaned by hand.

The air intake vent must be kept clear. It must not be covered.

Air outlet vent

Because the heat-pump dryer operates with a closed air circuit, sep­arate exhaust ducting is not required.

The warm air expelled from the machine as a result of cooling down
the heat-exchanger warms the room air. It is essential to ensure the
room has adequate ventilation, e.g. by providing ventilation openings
that cannot be closed whilst the machine is in use. Insufficient ventil­ation in the room increases the time required for drying, which in turn
will increase the amount of energy required for the drying process.

The ventilation openings must, on no account, be closed or
blocked by objects.

Condensate drainage

The heat-pump in this dryer operates on the principle of condensa­tion. A separate floor drain must be provided in the installation room
for condensate from the drying process.

The condensate drainage point is located at the back of the heat­pump dryer. The condensate must be drained via a downwards point­ing pipe to the floor drain. Condensate must not be able to flow back
into the machine.

33

Installation and connection

Communication module XKM RS232

The serial interface RS-232 can be retrofitted to the tumble dryer via
an XKMRS232 (optional accessory available from Miele). This com­munication module must only be used with MieleProfessionalma­chines that are fitted with an appropriate slot for the module.

The data interface provided via communication module
XKMRS232 complies with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) in ac­cordance with EN60950.

Appliances connected to this interface must also be SELV compli­ant.

Communication module XKMRS232 is supplied with a connection
cable and a D-sub-connector.
