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
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal 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 therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
competent person. The plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.
See the "Warning and Safety" section of
this booklet for further details.
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 (see
"Programme chart").
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.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
2
–
Make sure the fluff filter is clean
before using the dryer.
–
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.
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.

Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, installation, use and
maintenance.
Keep these 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 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
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 damaged
machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate 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 household 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 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).
5
Warning and Safety instructions
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
liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved
technician.
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 original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine 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.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
machine 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 machine guarantee.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for
cleaning 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, or
–
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
–
countries where this is applicable).
Use
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
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 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 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 fitting a window contact
switch which ensures that the tumble
dryer can only be operated when the
window is opened wide enough.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent
builder, or for gas, a "Corgi" registered
installer (in the 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 there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the machine may not be
able to operate properly.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C.

–
inflammable cleaning agents.
items which have been splashed with
–
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
– items which have been soiled with
oils or residues containing grease
(kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.).
– items soiled with wax or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
– items which have not been
thoroughly cleaned and which are
still soiled with grease or oil, e.g.
workwear. Such clothing may require
a heavy duty detergent to get them
clean. If necessary consult the
detergent manufacturer for advice.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
door, as this can cause the
machine to tip up.

Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If non-Miele parts are used with this
machine, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be
invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it. Render the plug useless and
cut off the cable directly behind the
machine. This should be done by a
competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filter
The fluff which is created by the
drying process is collected in the fluff
filter in the door. Clean the filter after
every drying cycle.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff
filter (1) out of the door as illustrated.
Remove any fluff from the hollow part
^
of the door holder.
A cleaning brush is available as an
optional extra from your Miele dealer
or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
You can also use a vacuum cleaner.
Also clean the door seal (2) with a
^
damp cloth.
If there is a great deal of compacted
fluff on the filter, it can be cleaned
under running water.
^ After cleaning shake thoroughly until
no more water droplets are visible.
^ Dry the filter carefully.
^ Once clean, push the filter back into
the door holder until it clicks into
position. Ensure it is facing the
correct way. Close the door.
^
Use your fingers to remove the fluff
from the surface of the filter.
16
Tumble dryer
Disconnect the machine from the
power supply.
Clean the housing and control panel
^
with a mild cleaning agent or soapy
water.
Clean the drum and other stainless
steel parts with a suitable proprietary
stainless steel cleaner following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaners. These could
damage plastic surfaces and other
parts. The machine must never be
hosed down.
^ Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

Problem solving guide
With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of the
machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right
without contacting the Service Department.
Repair work to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a
,
suitably qualified person in strict accordance with local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
General problems
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
The tumble dryer fails to
start when switched on.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
No obvious cause.
Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.
Have you followed the
–
switch-on procedure
correctly (see “How to
dry correctly”)?
– Is the plug correctly
inserted in the socket
and switched on?
– Is the door closed
properly?
– Has the fuse 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
ProblemPossible causeRemedy
The drying
process goes on
too long or even
switches off.
Important: Before attempting to remedy one of the following
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 fluff filter may be
blocked.
The vent ducting or the
ventilation outlet is blocked.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
Metallic components, e.g.
zips have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level in the
laundry.
Open a door or window while
the machine is in operation for
increased air flow.
Remove any fluff.
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.
Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed.
Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programme
selected.

Installation - venting
General
Important
Before operating the tumble dryer, a
suitable ducting system must be
installed to carry the moist air from
the dryer to the outside. This can be:
. . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic
piping connected to the dryer, or
. . . the dryer may be connected
directly to the wall vent.
Before installing the ducting system,
–
ensure that the machine is not
connected to the power supply.
– The ducting outlet (e.g. wall pipe)
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 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:
- 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
window is closed.
Avoid:
very long ducting systems
–
too many bends or corners, tight
–
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 pipe kit* or a window vent kit*.
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Procedure
^ First measure the duct length
required. Calculate the effective duct
length and establish the internal duct
diameter required (use the tables on
the next page).
^
Then decide which type of ducting
you want to use (see "Venting
systems" in this section).
28
Installation - venting
Calculating the effective duct
length:
Friction against the inner walls of the
ducting will slow down the expelled air
as it passes through. 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 ductlength factor. The additional length
factors are calculated by comparing
the friction created by, for example, an
elbow to that created by 1 metre 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
required.
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 required:
^
First measure the distance which will
require straight ducting
amount by the corresponding
additional duct length factor in Tabl e I.
^
Establish the number of angles,
bends etc. necessary and add their
additional duct length factors
together with the help of Table I.
. Multiply this

Venting systems overview
The various venting systems which are
possible (a b c) are described on
the following pages.
Adapter
A ring adapter** (1) is installed in
adapter (2) for the installation of a
flexible vent duct. It reduces time and
energy requirements during drying
when used in combination with a short
vent duct (maximum 10 m total
length). The ring adapter is removable
and designed for use with all venting
systems.
** Note for test institutes: EN 61121 Standard
testing is carried out with the ring adapter.
a Venting system with flexible
ducting
This is a simple, cost effective
method of directing the moist air
outside. The adapter 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).
^
Ring adapter (1) must be taken out of
adapter (2), if the total duct length is
longer than 10 m.
If the total duct length is less than 10
m the ring adapter should be left in
the adapter.
^
Fit adapter (2) into the vent opening
on the dryer, and connect vent hose
(3).
^
See next page for examples.

,
The ducting must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is
in use, nor should it be connected to
ducting which ventilates rooms with
fireplaces.
Installation - venting
b Venting system with
plastic piping
Plastic piping is a good option where
the vented air has to 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 energy
consumption are better with plastic
piping.
The following items are required: . .
^
. . . an adapter* (dia. 100 mm)* with
rib on the inside.
. . . a wall vent kit* or window vent
kit*.
* (Miele optional accessory)
. . . Suitable plastic piping is
available from your dealer or builder’s
merchant. If a pipe diameter greater
than 100 mm is required, 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.
C Attach the pipe (3).
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 ring adapter (1) only needs to be
fitted into the Miele adapter (2), if the
total duct length is less than 10 m.
33
Installation - venting
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. However, it is
necessary to insert the wall vent right
through the wall.
Because the vented air is blown
directly outside, and has only a short
distance to go, this system is very
efficient in terms of time and energy
consumption.
A wall pipe and a flexible foam
^
gasket 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.
