Guide to the machine

Pushbuttons

– Door

This button is used to open the door (does not stay pushed in).

–j ON / k OFF

When the machine is turned on, the “On” indicator will light up if the door is closed. If the door is open, the drum light will be on.

– Buzzer

Allows the buzzer to sound when the drum rotates during the anti-crease cycle.

– Low temp.

Lower drying temperatures for delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylics (symbol r).

– Start

Starts the selected program (does not stay pushed in).

Indicator lamps

– PROGRAM SEQUENCE

The program sequence indicator lamps show the current state of the drying program.

– DRYING STAGE REACHED

These indicator lamps show which drying stage the program has reached. For program stages “Normal” and “Extra dry” the indicator lamp remains at the “Normal” position.

PROGRAM SETTING-SELECTOR

Set the required program by turning the knob either clockwise or counterclockwise.

– COTTONS – PERMANENT PRESS – TIMED DRYING

Items can be either dried for 20 minutes (incl. a cooling-down phase) or cool air fluffed for 15 minutes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read these operating instructions before using your dryer for the first time, as this is for your own safety and for the protection of your machine.

2. Remember to remove the door when disposing of an old machine to prevent children from accidently locking themselves in the machine and endangering their lives.

3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

4. Do not install your dryer in rooms where freezing temperatures may occur. The reliability of the electronic control system may be impaired.

5. This machine should only be used for drying the following fabrics:

7. Clean the lint filter before and after each load.

8. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

9. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near the children.

10.To avoid back-pressure or accumulation of exhaust fumes, provide adequate room ventilation, by means of permanent vents or an open window.

11.Always close the door after use to prevent children from leaning on the door and causing the dryer to tilt.

12.Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

– Items which can be machine dried

as specified by the laundry care label.

– Items which have been washed in

water.

6. The following fabrics pose a fire hazard:

– Items which contain foam rubber,

rubber or rubberlike components.

– Items which have been treated with

inflammable cleaning agents, such as gasoline or dry-cleaning solvents.

– Items containing hair lacquer, hair-

spray, nail polish remover or similar substances.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13.The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified personnel.

14.Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

15.Do not tamper with controls.

16.Do not repair or place any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instruction or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. Repairs to electrical appliances should only carried out by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

17.Formation of lint. Lint is principally the result of friction when items are worn and washed. Machine-drying hardly causes any lint to form and, as has been established by reseach institutes, has no effect on the lifetime of fabrics.

19.Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaimed with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For grounding and electrical connection instructions, refer to the electrical connection section.

18.Warning - Do not use fabric softener/anti static dryer sheets. Residues from these products blockup (clog) the lint filter causing premature failure of the dryer.

Miele dryers are designed to dry laundry without static cling. However, should fabric softener be required, use liquid fabric softener in the wash cycle.

Clean lint filter mesh monthly by washing/scrubbing with hot soap and water.

Your contribution to the environment

Disposal of the packing material.

The transport and protective packing is mostly manufactured from the following recycled or re-useable materials:

– corrugated paper/cardboard – polystyrene - CFC-free – polyethylene foil (transparent) – untreated wood – fiber board Please check local environmental regu-

lations before disposing of packing materials and discarding the appliance.

Disposal of your old machine.

Old machines contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your recycling center or scrap merchant and render the machine inoperative as per the “Important Safety Instructions” before disposing of the appliance.

Loading and unloading the machine

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Load the laundry loosely into the drum.

Duvet covers and pillowcases should be fastened before drying in order to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.

If the wash is not removed at the end of the drying program, the machine will automatically enter the anticrease cycle for 60 minutes. This entails the drum being rotated at short intervals in order to reduce the formation of creases.

Once the laundry has been removed, check that the drum is empty. Any items left in the drum could be damaged through overdrying during the next program.

Clean the lint filter after each drying cycle to prevent excessive energy consumption, longer program times and the risk of fire.

The door should always be closed after use.

Important: Check that laundry cannot be trapped by the door as this may cause damage to the fabric.

Notes on laundry care

Before drying, check the instructions on the fabric care label.

The following fabrics should not be dried in a tumble dryer:

– Woollens and wool blends

These fabrics tend to become matted and shrink.

– Items filled with down

The fine fabric interior tends to shrink, depending on the quality of the item involved.

– Pure linen

These items should only be machinedried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the textile care label. The surface of the fabric may otherwise tend to become “rough”.

Miele dryers have been designed to dry laundry free of static cling, without the use of dryer softener sheets or similar products. The dryer continuously monitors the moisture content of the laundry, and automatically shuts off the heat when the selected degree of dryness is reached. Through the use of a cool down period, (where the machine operates without heat), cool, static free laundry is the end result. Dryer softener sheets perform the same function by depositing a chemical residue on both the clothes and the interior of the dryer. Over time, this coating may lead to performance reductions in the dryer.

Notes on laundry care

Notes:

Knitted fabrics and flannel sheets tend to shrink when washed for the first time and also when dried. They should not be overdried (Extra dry)!

Starched laundry can also be dried in the tumble dryer.

Permanent press items should be briefly spun in the washing machine before drying. Items which are prone to creasing should not be dried in the “PERMANENT PRESS- Normal +” - Program.

Drip-dry shirts made of pure cotton may tend to crease, depending on the quality of their finish. These items should be dried in a “Hand iron”program. Permanent press fabrics tend to crease more as the size of the load increases. This is particularly true of very delicate fabrics. The load should be reduced to 2 kg or, if necessary, to 1.5 kg.

Do not dry new dark-colored fabrics together with light-colored items as they may discolor.

If fabric softening is desired, it is more convenient, economical and beneficial to the clothing if a liquid softener is automatically dispensed while the clothes are in the washing machine. Please see the washing machine operating instructions for directions on how to automatically dispense a liquid softener.
