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 way you 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 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 damaged machine.
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 machine 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 responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an ex-
tension 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 responsibility. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved engineer.
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.

Warning and safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for cleaning 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–the mains fuse is withdrawn.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 ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases being given off by these appliances 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 considerably. If moist air is passed back into the room this may lead to long-term damage of walls.
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
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 keeping 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.
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 fabrics which:
–contain rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials
–have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents
–have been splashed with hair lacquer, 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 surfaces (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.
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 assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
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.
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 materials away, please ensure they are offered 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 thoroughly 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. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying 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 before using the dryer.
^The vent ducting should be as short, straight and smooth as possible. Expelled 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 specified 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 exaggerated 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 finish, 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 depending 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 fabrics.
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.
