Warning and safety instructions
Please read the operating instruc
tions before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain impor
tant information about the safety, use
and maintenance of the machine.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the ma
chine.
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.
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 or its controls. Super
vise 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.

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali
fied 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
electrican.
The manufacturer cannot be held re
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec
tric 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
machine (e.g. danger or overheating).
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 re
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un
dertaken by a Miele approved engi
neer.
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.

Warning and safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for clean
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply either when:
it is switched off at the mains or
–
the mains fuse is withdrawn.
–
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 being given off by these appli
ances being drawn back into the room,
an underpressure of 4 Pa 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 any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for gas, a registered
gas fitter must be sought.
Vented dryers must be installed
with a suitable venting system. If
the machine is not correctly ducted it
will draw damp exhaust air back into
the drum, increasing running time and
energy consumption quite consider
ably. If moist air is passed back into the
room this may lead to long-term dam
age of walls.
-
-
-
-
-
smoke or exhaust fumes were drawn
back into the room.
If the dryer is installed with other
dryers on one main venting duct,
one non-return flap per dryer must be
installed directly on the main venting
duct. If this is not observed, the dryers
could be damaged and their electrical
safety impaired.
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.
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop below freezing. At very cold temperatures the machine may be difficult
to start. Laundry will not dry, and the
sequence indicator light ~ r
Anticrease/End will flash to indicate a
problem.
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 might be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
-
The exhaust air must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is
in use. Neither should it be connected
to ducting which ventilates rooms with
fireplaces. It would be dangerous if
Before using the appliance for the
first time clean the drum with a pa
per tissue or cloth.

Warning and safety instructions
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 substances
which contain padding or fillings
–
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were
damaged the filling could get out
with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
Avoid contact of stainless steel sur-
faces (front, lid, casing) with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which
contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a
corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers or these agents
near the machine.

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.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it and render the plug use
less. Cut off the cable directly behind
the appliance to prevent misuse.

Help to protect 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.
Rather than just throwing these materi
als away, please ensure they are of
fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine
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.
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. You will
save up to 30% energy and time if
laundry is spun at 1200 rpm instead
of at 600 rpm.
Load according to the optimum
^
amount of washing recommended for
the programme being used.
Underloading is uneconomical. Over
loading gives a poorer quality of dry
ing and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
^ To save energy and time:
– 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.
^ The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible. Ex-
pelled air is slowed down in the vent
duct due to friction against the inner
walls of the ducting, therefore the
shorter the duct and the smoother the
inner walls, the less friction occurs
which in turns saves drying time and
energy costs.

Preparation of laundry
Wash care labels
Before drying check the drying
symbol on the wash care label.
Significance of symbols:
q = Dry at normal temperature
r = Dry at low temperature
s= Do not tumble dry
If no symbol is featured dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
Cottons and minimum iron items
should be dried at a normal temperature using the appropriate programme
setting.
Delicate fabrics with the following
wash care label r, e.g. acrylics should
be dried at a low temperature.
The following fabrics should
not be dried in a tumble dryer:
Woollens and wool blends
these fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink.
Items filled with down
the fine fabric interior tends to shrink,
depending on the quality involved.
Pure linen
should only be machine dried if speci
fied as suitable by the manufacturer on
the wash care label, as the surface of
the fabric may otherwise tend to
roughen.
-
General notes
Woven and loopkit materials (e.g.
T-Shirts, knitted garments) tend to
shrink to varying extents depending on
their quality. This tendency is exagger
ated by over-drying. When purchasing
woven materials, it is advisable to take
their shrinkage properties into account.
Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual fin
ish, double the amount of starch should
be used.
Minimum iron fabrics should be spun
briefly at the end of their wash
programme, or spun for 10 to 30 seconds if hand washed before they are
dried. Some fabrics tend to crease if
overdried. These items should be given
only a short period in the dryer, and
taken out slightly damp. Do not use the
B Minimum iron - G Normal+
programme for these fabrics.
Minimum iron shirts in 100% cotton
may crease during tumble drying de
pending on the quality of the weave.
These should be dried using the Hand
iron I setting. In extreme cases drip
dry on a coat hanger.
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more the greater the load. This is
particulary the case with delicate fab
rics.
The load should be reduced to 2 kg or
if necessary to 1.5 kg.
New dark coloured garments should
be dried separately from light coloured
garments to avoid the danger of
colours running.
