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.
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– the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn.
7
Warning and safety instructions
For safety reasons, do not use an ex­tension cable. There is a danger of
overheating.
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.
Frozen condensed water in the pump, hose and condensed water container could also lead to damage.
If the water is drained externally
through the drain hose instead of being collected in the condensed water container, make sure the drain hose is securely attached if you hang it in a sink or basin to avoid the hose slip­ping and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health prob-
lems in people and animals.
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 fab­rics 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.

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.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected in the fluff filters in the door and door opening.
Clean the filters after every pro­gramme to reduce drying time and save energy.
These filters should only be removed for cleaning with water.
Dry the filters well after rinsing and put back in place.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
Open the door. Grip the filter by the recessed handle and pull upwards to remove. Remove the fluff from:
the filter in the doorthe filters in the door opening
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob­jects.
Remove any fluff from the hollow part of the door holder through the wide slit at the bottom. A cleaning brush is available at extra cost from the Miele Spare Parts Department. Push the cleaned filter back into the door holder and close the door.
If there i s a g rea t de al o f com pa c ted fluff on the filters, the y can be clea ned un der hot running wa te r .

Clean . . .
. . . the housing and control panel:
with a mild detergent or soapy water;
. . . the drum and other stainless steel parts: with a suitable proprie-
tary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturers instructions.
Never use abrasive substances, scouring pads, glass or general pur­pose cleaners. These could damage plastic surfaces and other parts. The machine must never be hosed down.
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.
Emptying the condensed water container
If the hose drain has not been fitted and connected, the condensed water will be collected in the condensed water container.
The condensed water container should be emptied after every drying cycle, or as soon as the Empty out container indicator light comes on.
If . . . . . . the condensed water container is full when a programme is started or . . . it becomes full during a drying cycle: – the Empty out container light will come on,
the buzzer will sound,the programme will be stopped,the washing will be cooled down and the Cool air light will come on.
Cleaning and care
Slide back the cap and pour the water away.
Push the container back into the ma­chine until it engages into place.
Condensed water should not be drunk. It could lead to health prob­lems for humans and animals.
Pull the container out of the machine, gripping it firmly with both hands.
Condensed water can be put to house­hold use, eg used in a steam iron or hu­midifier.
Note:
To ensure that no particles of fluff are left which could damage the ap­pliance, pass the condensed water through a fine sieve or paper filter.
21
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the condenser unit
The machine must be disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Check the condenser unit at least twice a year and clean it if necessary. If the dryer is used frequently then clean the condenser unit after approx. 100 drying cycles.
Turn the inner cover lock downwards to the vertical position.
Pull the cover off.
Keep hold of the outer condenser unit cover while removing it, then place it to one side.
22
Turn both the levers on the conden­ser unit to the vertical position.
Cleaning and care
Pull the condenser unit out.

. . . there is a build-up of fluff
This may be due to an incorrect selection procedure sequence when switching on the machine.
The load consists of different fabrics.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and, as has been established by research institutes, has no effect on the lifetime of fabric.
Repeat the switch-on procedure (see section on “Drying correctly). Also check the following:
Is the machine plugged in at
the mains switch?
Is the door closed properly?Was the “”I-On/0-Off button
pushed in?
– Was the “START button
pushed in?
Has the fuse or circuit
breaker tripped? If so, contact the Miele Service Department.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner for the final rinse in the washing machine.
Select a more suitable drying programme next time.

What to do if . . . Cause . . . Remedy . . . . . . the drying process goes
on too long.
. . . water dro plets appear at the upper edge of the drum aperture.
. . . water leaks from the ma­chine after the condenser unit has been cleaned.
. . . the interior drum lighting does not come on.
. . . you need to open the door during a power cut.
Ventilation to and from the dryer is insufficient (eg in a small room). This could cause the room temperature to rise sharply.
The vent below the door is blocked.
The dryer cannot blow air out correctly.
The laundry was not sufficiently spun.
A double filter system with dual insulation prevents fluff from being deposited in the condenser unit. This insulation can lead to a build-up of condensation.
The condenser unit has not been correctly locked into place.
It only lights up when the machine is switched on. The bulb may be defective.
Open a door or window while the machine is in operation for increased air flow.
Remove any objects that are blocking the vent below the door.
Clean the fluff filters in the
door and the door opening.
Clean the condenser unit.
Spin the laundry in the washing machine at the highest possible spin speed.
Laundry being removed from the machine may come into contact with these water droplets, but they will dry off in a matter of minutes.
Ensure that the condenser unit and cover are firmly in position and lock into place again.
Change the bulb. See instructions at the end of this section.

The programme selector was moved after the beginning of the programme, but the programme continues to run correctly.
There could be a fault.
Cold surrounding temperatures below freezing are affecting the machine (frozen condensed water).
The condensed water container is full.
The fluff filters are blocked.
The condenser unit may be blocked because it has not been cleaned for a long time.
If there is no laundry in the drum when the programme is started, the electronics will register this and stop the programme. The programme will also be interrupted if the laundry placed in the drum is already dry.
Turn the programme selector back to its original position and the light will go out.
Switch the machine off and
on again.
Select the programme and
press START”.
Install the appliance in a
warmer room.
If the light continues to flash there is a problem. Contact Miele Service Department.
Empty the container. Check that the condensed water container is correctly positioned.

The interior drum lighting does not come on: changing the bulb
Open the door.
Before changing the bulb, discon­nect the machine from the mains power supply.
Unscrew the plastic cover above the door inside the drum.
The cover must be fixed securely otherwise moisture may seep in and cause a short circuit.
The temperature resistant bulb should only be ordered from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
Opening the door in the event of a power failure.
Replace the bulb.
The light bulb must not exceed the maximum wattage quoted on the data plate and the light cover.
Replace the plastic cover and screw back on.

28
Installation
The machine must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation. Minor differences do not, however, have an adverse effect on operation.
Installation
The ventilation slots beneath the door must on no account be blocked as this will prevent a sufficient intake of cold air.
The UBT/UBW building under kit cannot be used with sloping facia machines.
The machine complete with its own lid which must not be removed can still be slid under a worktop, if there is enough space.
The machine must be allowed to jut out sufficiently for the control panel not to be obscured.
The tumble dryer can also be com­bined with a Miele washing machine in a washer and dryer stack. For this pur­pose the appropriate stacking kit* to match your washing machine is re­quired.
*Available from your Miele dealer.
The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for any uneveness in the floor surface.
