Warning and Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions
carefully before using this appliance
for the first time. They contain impor
tant information about the safety, use
and maintenance of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the appli
ance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
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.
"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 danger
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
Do not let small children play with the
machine or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a dam
aged machine.

Warning and Safety instructions
If the mains cable becomes dam
aged it must be replaced with an
Miele original cable.
In the event of a fault or for clean
ing purposes, the machine is only

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.
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 (e.g.
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 maxi
mum permissible. Ventilation can be
maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, in windows, doors and out
side wall vents, or by an automatic win
dow opening arrangement when the
tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,
the advice of a competent builder, or
for gas, a "Corgi" installer (in UK) 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 fireplaces. 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:
children climbing onto or into the
–
dryer or hiding things in it.
pets or other small animals climbing
–
into it.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
door, as this can cause the ma
chine to start tipping up.
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 out
with the risk of igniting in the 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

are soiled with oil or grease.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping 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 guar
antee.

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 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 appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before throwing an old appliance away,
unplug it and render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap
pliance to prevent misuse. This should
be done by a competent person.
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.
When the ambient temperature is

warm (over 25°C) e.g. in summer, se
lect the
to reduce energy consumption.
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 unnecessarily 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.
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.

How to dry correctly
A 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 unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
See the "Programme chart" for maxi
mum recommended loads.
Before closing the door check that
^
the fluff filter is correctly positioned in
the door.

B Load the drum and switch
on the dryer
^
Press the door button and open the
door.
^
Load the laundry loosely into the
drum.

When closing the door make sure
items of laundry cannot be trapped
by the door, as this will cause dam
age to the laundry.
^
Shut the door either with a gentle
swing or lean against it and push it
shut.

Switch the dryer on by pressing the
"l-On/0-Off" button.

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 in
sufficient (e.g because it is
installed in a room which is
too small).
The laundry was not suffi
ciently spun.
The dryer has been over

Metallic components, e.g.
zips have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level in the
laundry.
The fluff filter is blocked. Clean the fluff filter.
The vent ducting or the
ventilation outlet (e.g. window or wall vent) is
blocked.
Open a door or window
while the machine is in op

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.
-
-

^
Finally decide which venting system
you are going to install (see "Venting
systems" in this section).
Page 37
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
straight plastic piping (Table I).
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.
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 (Table II).
1. To calculate the effective duct
length:
^
First measure the distance which will
require straight ducting
amount by the corresponding addi
tional duct length factor in Table I.
^
Establish the number of angles,
bends etc. necessary and add their
additional duct length factors to
gether with the help of Table I.
^
Add all the additional duct length fac
tors together to give the effective
duct length.

Venting systems
The various venting systems which are
possible are described on the following
pages.
a Flexible ducting hose
b Plastic piping or galvaninsed steel
piping
c Connecting directly to the wall vent
a Flexible ducting hose
This is a simple, cost effective way of
directing the moist air outside. The
adapter supplied is fitted into the
vent opening on the dryer and the
ducting hose is then connected to
the adapter.
The following items are required: . .
^
. . . flexible ducting hose
. . . a wall vent kit* or window vent
kit*.
* (Miele optional accessory).
A Insert the Miele adapter (1) into the
vent opening of the dryer.
B Attach the hose (2).

b 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 create less friction for the
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*.
. . . a wall vent kit* or window vent
kit*.
* (Miele optional accessory)
. . . Suitable piping is available from
your dealer. Where the pipe diameter
is more than 100 mm, an adapter is
necessary (e.g. 100 to 125 mm C) to
connect the pipe to the dryer.
Example
1. Wall vent kit
(Separate fitting instructions are
supplied with the Miele wall vent kit)
2. Adapter
3. Plastic piping, diameter DN 100
A The Miele adapter (1) is inserted
onto the vent opening on the dryer.
B Attach the pipe (2).

c 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. This involves boring
through an outside wall. Because the
ducting is very short this system is
very efficient in terms of time and en
ergy consumption.
A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gas
^
ket* must be used
* (both Miele optional accessories).
A Before drilling into the wall,
. . . please read the installation instructions supplied with the Miele
wall pipe
. . . and study the following diagrams.
