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.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre quency) matches the mains electricity

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the mains fuse is withdrawn.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.

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 assess ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

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.

Use of the appliance

This automatic tumble dryer is particu

larly suitable for use in communal laun dry rooms, laundrettes etc. where con siderable amounts of soiled laundry are dealt with.

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.

socket from the rear vent outlet. Secure into the side outlet by turning

clockwise. Close the rear outlet with the cover

cap.

Avoid:

very long exhaust systems

– – too many corners – tight corners. These reduce efficiency and increase

time and energy consumption.

Remove the cover cap.

Insert a thin screwdriver into the slit on the retaining hook and press the hook gently upwards.

The following materials are suitable for the exhaust ducting:

galvanized steel

–

plastic ducting

–

flexible ducting.

–

Note that all ducting must be of a suitable heat resistant specification.

Install the exhaust ducting so that the expelled exhaust air cannot be sucked into the machine again.

Standard accessories include an adapter for the exhaust ducting:

Installation - venting

Application In installations where conditions do not

allow the machine to be permanently connected to a ducting system.

Purpose The adapter enables rapid, simple con

nection or disconnection of the exhaust ducting.

Installation The adapter is fitted to the non-con

nected end of the vent duct.

Important Connection must not be made to a flue used by gas or solid fuel boilers or heaters.

Calculating the duct length

The shortest passage for the expelled air is preferable, to ensure the tumble dryer functions most efficiently. Ex pelled air is slowed down in the vent duct due to friction against the inner walls of the duct, therefore the shorter the duct and the smoother the inner walls, the less friction occurs.

An elbow or bend creates more friction than a straight duct. An additional duct length factor should therefore be calcu lated for each elbow or bend (see Table

1). This factor expresses the resistance of the bend in terms of a straight length of duct.

The additional length factor is then added to the actual duct length to give the effective total duct length.

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 (see 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 length can then

be taken from Table II.

Note

Drying times and energy consumption remain unaltered for Ø100 mm ducting up to a total length of 15 metres. 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 adhered to (see Table II).

Main venting duct

There must be one non-return flap per dryer installed directly on the main venting duct R, upper picture). Extra Miele equipment is required for this purpose. If this not observed, the dryers could be dam aged and their electrical safety im paired!

When up to five dryers are being in

stalled, the pipe diameter D must be in creased according to Table III.
