Correct use
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been washed in a water solution, marked on the manufacturer’s wash care label as being suitable for tumble drying. Any other applications may be danger­ous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a dam aged machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre quency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali fied electrician.
-
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in un­foreseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept re­sponsibility. Repairs should only be un­dertaken by a Miele approved engi­neer. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the ma chine be guaranteed.
If the appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical por table outlet device the cord extension

Warning and Safety instructions
If the mains cable becomes dam aged it must be replaced with a
Miele original cable.
In the event of a fault or for clean
ing purposes, the machine 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and the plug is withdrawn, or it is switched off at the mains, or
the mains fuse is withdrawn.
-

Operation
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess­ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not let small children play with
the machine or its controls. Super vise its use by the elderly or infirm.
This dryer must not be: –
connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use.
used without exhaust ducting.
used without the fluff filter in place or if the fluff filter is damaged in any way.
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,
especially where another appli ance which also uses the room air (eg gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. To en sure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maxi­mum permissible. Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and out­side wall vents, or by an automatic win­dow opening arrangement when the tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for gas, a gas fitter must be sought.
The exhaust air must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is in use, nor should it be connnected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fire places. It would be dangerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were drawn back into the room.
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may drop down to or below freezing. At very cold temperatures the machine may be difficult to start.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff.

Warning and Safety instructions
Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the danger
of:
anyone sitting or leaning on the door,
which can cause the machine to tip up,
children climbing onto or into the
dryer or hiding things in it.
There is danger of fire with fabrics which:
contain a large proportion of rubber,
foam rubber or rubber like materials.
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents.
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.
– which contain padding or fillings
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could leak with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
are soiled with oil or grease.
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keep ing the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.
To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following
should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite sponta neously, 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 be come hot enough to catch fire. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-af­fected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire haz­ard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by 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. The "cool down" cycle of tumble dry
-
ers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tum ble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
-
-
-

Items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flam mable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances com monly used in a domestic environ ments include acetone, denatured al cohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), tur pentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly tex­tured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

dryer. Rubber-backed articles, clothes fit
ted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tum ble dryer.
-
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, per formance and product liability claims may be invalidated.
-
-
-
– Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static elec tricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufac turer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal re inforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can re sult if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

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 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 materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.
-
-
Disposal of your old appliance
Old machines contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.
Before discarding an old machine un­plug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appli ance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.
Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Energy saving tips
Make sure that your laundry is thor
^
oughly 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 (see "Programme chart").
Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing.
^ To avoid unecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of en­ergy:
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-
fore using the dryer.
Check all parts of the ventilation sys tem 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.

How to dry correctly
Prepare the laundry
As far as possible, sort laundry for:
^
- the type of fibre or weave,
- the degree of dryness required,
- similar size of items,
- the moisture content after spinning.
This will help towards achieving an even drying result.
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do up zips, hooks and eyes etc. Tie fabric belts, apron strings. Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
Make sure there is no detergent dis­penser ball etc. in with the laundry, as this could melt and damage the machine and the laundry.
Do not overload the drum. Over loading can cause unecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.

Problem solving guide
With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of the appli ance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Department.
Repairs to the machine should only be undertaken by a suitably qualified ser vice technician to ensure safety. Unauthorised repairs could be dangerous.
Fault Possible cause Remedy The appliance fails to
start when switched on.
Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying.
No obvious cause. Have you followed the
switch-on procedure cor rectly (see section on "Drying correctly").
Is the plug correctly in serted in the socket and switched on?
Is the door closed prop­erly?
Has the plug or circuit breaker tripped?
Static charge can be re­duced by adding a fabric conditioner to the final rinse in the washing ma­chine or a fabric condi­tioner sheet to the load in the dryer.

Problem solving guide
Problem Possible cause Remedy There is a build up of
fluff.
The laundry is not suffi ciently dry.
The interior drum light­ing does not come on.
Fluff is principally the re sult of friction when gar ments are being worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and, as has been established by re search institutes, has no effect on the lifetime of fabric.
The load consisted of dif
-
ferent fabrics.
The lighting switched off automatically.
The lamp may be defec­tive.
Fluff is collected by the
­fluff filters and can be
­easily removed (see "Cleaning and Care").
-
Select a more suitable
­drying programme next time (see "Programme chart").
The lighting only comes on when the door is opened if the dryer is switched on. It will switch off after a short while if the door is left open. This is to save electricity.
Change the lamp as de­scribed at the end of this section.

Problem solving guide
Problem Possible cause Remedy The drying process
goes on too long or even switches off.
Important: Before attempting to remedy one of the fol
lowing causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again to start the programme again.
Ventilation to the dryer is insufficient (e.g because it is installed in a room which is too small).
The laundry was not suffi ciently spun.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded.
Metallic components, e.g. zips have prevented the dryer from registering the correct moisture level in the laundry.
The fluff filter may be blocked.
The vent ducting or the ventilation outlet is blocked.
Open a door or window while the machine is in op eration for increased air flow.
Make sure that your laun
­dry is thoroughly spun be fore drying.
Do not exceed the maxi mum load for the programme selected.
In future select a Timed drying programme for these garments.
Clean the fluff filter.
– 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.
Remove any fluff.

Building under a continuous work­top / in a row of kitchen units
The space required by the vent duct must be taken into consideration when calculating the distance between the machine and a wall or other appliances or furniture on either side.
A special conversion kit* is re
quired. The machine lid is replaced by a coverplate which must be fitted by suitably qualified person to ensure electrical safety. This kit is supplied with installation instructions.
– When installing under a 900/910 mm
high worktop a spacer kit* is re­quired.
– Flat type ducting* is required if there
is not enough space for a vent duct.
– The electric socket must be located
in an accessible position near the machine.
When built under running times may be longer.
NOTE:
-
Replacing the lid
If the lid has been removed in order to fit a cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is replaced, it fits securely into the rear holders. Otherwise, it is not properly se cure for transport.
Washer-dryer stack
The tumble dryer can also be com bined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. To do this the ap propriate stacking kit* (WTV) to match your washing machine is required.
A washer and dryer should never be stacked without using the proper stack­ing kit. Doing so is extremely danger­ous, as the dryer may vibrate off of the washing machine during use.
All parts marked * are available from the Miele Spare Parts or Sales Departement, and must be fitted by a suitably competent person according to the instructions supplied with the kit.
-
-
-
If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, the coversion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the con version kit is essential.
When building under allow for 625 mm to include hoses, lid, facia and door.
When building the machine in behind cabinet doors, ensure that doors are open during operation for adequate ventilation.

Installation - venting
General
Important
Before operating the appliance, a suitable venting system must be in stalled to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside.
Before installing the ducting system,
ensure that the appliance is not con nected to the power supply.
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 a nuisance or any damage to the building.
– Adequate ventilation is essential as
the dryer uses the room air. Ventila­tion can be maintained by:
- an open window;
- an air inlet which cannot be blocked in windows, doors and outside wall vents;
- a window switch which prevents
the dryer being used when the win dow is closed.
Avoid:
very long venting systems
too many bends or corners; tight cor
ners.
­Otherwise the drying result will not be
as good and drying will take longer and use more energy.
Suitable materials for venting
-
pipework:
flexible vent hose*, plastic piping,
galvanised steel piping (with a diam eter of at least 100 mm).
– for venting directly outside:
a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*.
*These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or from build­ers’ merchants.
Procedure:
^ First measure the duct length re-
quired. Calculate the effective duct length and establish the internal duct diameter required (use the tables on
-
the following pages). Longer ducting will require a larger duct diameter.
-
-
28
^
Finally decide which venting system you are going to install (see "Venting systems" in this section).
Installation - venting
Calculating the effective duct length:
Friction against the inner walls of the vent duct will slow down the expelled air as it passes through the duct. An el bow, 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 length factor. The additional length factors are calculated by comparing the friction created by, for example, an elbow to that created by 1 meter of

Venting system with
plastic piping
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 the vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and en ergy consumption are better with plastic piping.
The following items are required: . .
^
. . . an adapter* with rib on the inside. . . . a wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. * (Miele optional accessory) . . . Suitable piping available from your dealer or builder’s merchant. Where the pipe diameter is more than 100 mm, additional adapters are nec­essary (e.g. to increase from C 100 to 125 mm) to connect the pipe to the dryer.
If the total duct length is greater than 10 m the ring adapter is not required.
B Fit Miele adapter (2) into the vent
opening on the dryer.

Connecting directly to a wall
vent
The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. However, it is neces sary to insert the wall vent right through the wall. Because the vented air is blown di rectly outside, and has only a short distance to go, this system is very ef ficient in terms of time and energy consumption.
A wall pipe and a flexible foam gas
