Disposal of packing
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old
machine/appliance
Old machines/appliances contain materials which can be recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes. Ensure that the machine/appliance presents no danger to children while being
stored for disposal. See the appropriate advice in the “Warning and safety”
instructions.

Warning and safety instructions
Warning and safety instructions
Please read the operating instructions before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain important information about the safety,
use and maintenance of the
machine. This will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the machine. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with
the content. Pass them on to any future owners of the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution and are
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.
Do not let small children play with
the machine and its controls or
operate it. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Check for visible external damage
before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
machine or appliance.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this ma-
chine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of
an inadequate earthing system.
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.
Adequate ventilation is essential,
especially where another appliance
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 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 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 “Corgi” installer (in UK) must be
sought.
7
Warning and safety instructions
For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable. There is a danger of
overheating.
In the event of a fault, or for clean-
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
Use
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop below freezing, as temperatures
below zero could damage the machine.
A suitable ducting system must be
installed before operating this
vented dryer.
The exhaust air 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. It would be dangerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were
drawn back into the room.
Always close the door after use to
avoid the danger of:
– someone leaning on the door which
could cause the machine to tip;
– children climbing into the machine or
hiding objects in it.
There is a danger of fire with fab-
rics which:
– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-
ber-like materials;
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents;
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar;
– also padded items (eg cushions,
jackets) which have been damaged,
as the padding could fall out and
catch fire;
– are soiled with grease or oil.
8
Warning and safety instructions
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 guarantee.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Disposing of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind
the appliance to prevent misuse.

Brief instructions
Brief instructions
Brief description
Programmes are selected by turning
the programme selector and can be
supplemented by pressing the addi-
tional option buttons.
Press the “START” button to begin a
programme.
The indicator lights in the sequence display (on the right hand side of the control panel) show which stage has been
reached in the programme.
The Sensitive system automatically adjusts drying to suit the water quality
and ensure more precise results.
The Novotronic controls measure and
register the conductivity of the water
and compensate for variations to
achieve a uniform residual moisture
level.
The automatic reversing action turns
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise
to loosen the laundry and prevent
uneven drying, ensuring good results.
Once the required degree of dryness is
achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool
down.
Please read the sections on “Warning and safety” and “Notes on
laundry care”.
1 Switching the machine on and
loading the laundry
Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0Off” button.
Press the “Door” button to open the
door.
Place the laundry loosely in the drum.
Close the door.
2 Selecting a programme
Turn the programme selector to the
drying level you require.
3 Selecting additional options
Press the buttons to switch additional options on or off as required.
4 Starting the programme
Press the “START” push button.
At the end of the programme the anti-
crease action period begins. The drum
turns intermittently to reduce the formation of creases and folds.
Programmable functions can be used
to select or de-select some of the additional options and introduce further
functions. These combinations can be
stored in the machine’s memory and
called up.

Notes on laundry care
Notes on laundry care
Before drying, check the drying symbol on the textile care label.
Significance of symbols:
q = Dry at normal temperature
r = Dry at low temperature
(also push in the “Low temperature”
button if required)
s = Do not tumble dry
t = Can be tumble dried
If no symbol is featured, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
Cotton and minimum iron items should
be dried in the appropriate programme
(see programme charts).
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low
temperature" button.
Never overload the drum. Always
observe the maximum recommended loads given in the “Programme chart”. Overloading can
cause unnecessary wear and tear
to the laundry, give a disappointing
drying result and cause more creasing.
The following fabrics should not be
dried in a tumble dryer:
– Woollens and wool blends
These fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink. These fabrics can, however,
be partially dried using the “Woollens
hand care” programme.
– Pure linen*
These items should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the textile care label,
as the surface of the fabric may otherwise “roughen”.
* Linen and down-filled items can, however, be partially dried using the
“Smoothing” programme.
Notes:
Some woven and loopknit materials
(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)
have a tendency to shrink, depending
on their quality, and this is often made
worse by over-drying. When purchasing woven materials, it is advisable to
take their shrinkage properties into account.
Starched washing can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,
when larger loads being dried, particulary when the weave of the fabric is
very fine. Reduce the load or use the
Special care “Minimum iron – Hand
iron” programme. If this is unsatisfactory use the “Smoothing” setting, then
hang the garments on a hanger to dry.
New dark-coloured fabrics should be
dried separately from light-coloured
fabrics to avoid colours running.
– Down-filled items*
The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,
depending on the quality.

Hints on saving energy
Make sure that your laundry has been
thoroughly spun at the highest appropriate spin speed before drying. Spinning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves
approximately 30% energy and time
compared with 800 rpm.
Make sure there is no washing
detergent dispenser among the
laundry, as this could melt and damage the machine and the laundry.
Load the laundry very loosely into
the drum.
Load the full amount of laundry according to the programme chosen
(see “Programme chart”) for the
most economical drying related to
the size of the load. Make sure that
the drum is not over- or underloaded.
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:
– the type of fibre or weave
– the degree of drying required
– similar size of items
– the moisture content after
spinning.
This will help towards an even drying
result.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.
1Switching on and loading
Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent
small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and
apron strings.
Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.
Press the “Door” button and open
the door.
Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
Close the door.
Important: Please check that items
of laundry cannot be trapped by the
door, as this will cause damage to
the fabric.

Installation
Installation
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.
Minor differences do not, however,
have an adverse effect on operation.
A ventilation gap of 10 mm must be
maintained between the bottom of the
machine and the floor. It must not be
blocked by deep pile carpets,
plinths etc, preventing a sufficient intake of cold air.
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 be-
tween the machine and a wall or
other appliances or furniture on
either side.
A special conversion kit* is necessary.
– The machine lid is replaced by a
coverplate which must be fitted by a
suitably competent person to ensure
electrical safety.
– Flat type ducting* is required if there
is not enough space for a vent duct.
– When installing under a worktop with
a working height of 900/910 mm, a
spacer kit* is necessary.
The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any uneveness in
the floor surface.
26
When built under, the running times
may be longer.
The dryer can be combined with a
Miele washing machine in a washer
and dryer stack. The appropriate stacking kit* to match your washing machine
is required.
* These items are all available from your Miele
dealer.
(N.B. If you wish to push your machine
under a worktop and there is space to
do this without removing the lid, the
conversion kit is not necessary. Otherwise the conversion kit is essential).
Installation - venting
The moist air from the dryer must be
vented via a ducting system.
When installing avoid:
– very long venting 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 venting pipework:
– galvanised steel piping
– plastic piping
– flexible piping
The venting connection can be made:
– to the rear (the machine is supplied
with the connection at the rear open)
– to the left or right side of the ma-
chine.
Installation - venting
Installation to the left or right side of
the machine
Remove only the cover cap. Do not
remove the frame.
Install the venting pipework in such
a way that the moist expelled air
cannot be drawn into the machine
again.
Connection must not be made to a
flue used by gas or solid fuel boilers
or heaters.
Before installation, ensure that the
machine is not connected to the
electrical supply.
Use the cover cap to close the rear
outlet.
Fitting the venting pipework
An adapter (Ø 100 mm) for the venting
pipe is supplied as standard.
It is to be fitted into the vent outlet to
facilitate connection of a flexible vent-
ing pipe.
27
Installation - venting
A short passage for the expelled air is
preferable to ensure the tumble dryer
functions as efficiently as possible. Expelled air is slowed down in the vent
duct by friction against the inner walls
of the duct. The shorter and smoother
the inner walls, the less friction occurs.
Additional duct length
An elbow or bend creates more friction
than a straight duct. An additional duct
length factor should therefore be calculated for each elbow or bend (see
Table I).
Effective duct length
The additional length factor is added to
the actual duct length to give the effective duct length.
Duct diameter
A larger duct diameter also helps to reduce friction. The duct diameter should
therefore increase with increasing duct
length.
To calculate the effective duct
length:
Measure the actual duct length:
– Establish the number of elbows or
bends necessary, noting the type of
bend, angle and radius involved.
(Table I).
– Add the additional length factor as
specified in Table I to the actual duct
length to give the effective duct
length.
– The appropriate duct diameter can
then be taken from Table II.
Note:
Drying times and energy consumption
remain unaltered for 100 mm diameter
ducting up to a total length of 10 m.
Longer ducting may lead to slight increases in drying times and energy
consumption, but does not impair the
function of the machine if the necessary duct diameter is used (Table II).

Installation - venting
Installing severa l ma chi n es :
We recommend that when several machines are being installed each machine should be fitted with a non-return
flap (available from a good builders’
merchant). This will prevent odours
being transferred and the build up of
condensation in the machines which
are not in use.
For installation where up to 5 machines
are connected to a shared system the
pipe diameter (D) must be increased.
The factor to increase by is given in
Table III.
