Guide to the appliance Caring for the environment
The drying system
The sensitive system automatically adjusts drying to suit the water quality,
and makes more exact drying possible.
The water conductivity is measured,
and registered by the control which
then compensates to achieve a uniform
residual moisture level.
The Novo Super control offers 9 programmes with electronic moisture
measuring and 2 timed programmes.
The automatic reversing action turns
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise
to loosen the laundry and prevent
damp patches and thus ensures even
drying results.
Energy saving tips
Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. You will
save up to 35% energy and time if
laundry is spun at 1600 rpm instead of
at 600 rpm.
Load according to the optimum amount of washing for the programme to
be selected. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer
quality of drying and may caus e unnecessary creasing.
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging used to protect the machine during transport largely consists
of the following recyclable materials:
- Corrugated paper/card
- Polystyrene - CFC-free
- Polyethylene foil - transparent
- Fibreboard (solvent free)
- Untreated wood
- Packaging straps: Polyamide (blue)
Polypropylene (black),
Rather than just throwing these materials away please take them to the
nearest collection point for specific
waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be recycled . Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, before disposing of the appliance. Fold
page out to refer to the appliance and its
controls.
Before using for the first time
Important: The appliance must be
properly installed and connected to
the electricity supply.
5
Wa rning 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 acc idents 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 usage
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 damag e resulting fr o m i mproper 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, en-
sure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) matches the mains elect ricity
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 can not be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
For safety reasons do not use an
extension cable. There is a danger
of 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 can not 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 either 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.
The appliance should never be
operated without the furniture front
panel in place.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Caution: If the appliance is sup-
plied from a cord extension set or
electrical portable outlet device the
cord extension set or electrical portable
outlet device should be positioned so it
is not subject to splashing or ingress of
moisture.
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.
Use
The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
There is a danger of fire with fab-
rics, which:
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
"anti-crease" indicator will flash to indicate a problem. Freezing condensed
water in the pump, hoses and in the
condensed water container can lead to
damage.
Make sure the drain hose is se-
curely attached if you hang it in a
sink or basin (external drainage of condensed water) to avoid the hose slipping and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking
water. It can cause health problems in people and animals.
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.
– 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.
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.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

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
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 in the appropriate
programme, (see programme
charts).
For delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylic
fibres, the low temp er a tu re setting
should be selected. (To do this press
the "Low temperature" pushbutton).
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
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 tend to "roughen".
Note:
Some woven and loopknit materials
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 washing can also be dried in
the tumble dryer. In or der to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
Minimum iron items should be spun
only briefly before being tumble dried.
Such fabrics tend to crease if overdried. These items should be given
only a short period in the dryer, and
taken out slightly damp. Use the "Minimum iron Normal" programme rather
than "Minimum iron Normal+".
Minimum iron shirts in 100% cotton may
crease during tumble drying depending
on the quality and weave. The "Hand
iron" setting is recommended for these
types of garment. In extreme cases do
not tumble dry these garments, but dry
them on a hanger .
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the greater the load. This is particularly true of very delicate fabrics. The
load should be reduced to1.5 kg or, if
necessary, to 1 kg.
Dark-coloured garments should be
dried separately from light-coloured
garments, to avoid colours running.
8
Loading and unloading the machine
Load the laundry very loosely into the
drum.
Duvet covers and pillowcases should
be fastened before drying in order to
prevent small items from being rolled inside them.
Important: Please check that items
of laundry cannot be trapped by the
door as this will cause damage to
the fabric.
At the end of the programme r emo ve
the washing from the machine. If this is
not done, the machine automatically
proceeds into an intermittent anticrease action. The drum rotates at
short intervals in order to reduce the
possibility of creasing.
Once the laundry has been removed,
check that the drum is empty. Any
items left in the drum could be damaged through overdrying in the next
programme.
Clean the fluff filters after each drying
cycle to prevent excessive energy consumption and longer programme running times.
The door should always be closed
after.

Programme selection
How the tumble dryer works
This tumble dryer is fitted with an electronic sensor system. The required degree of dryness is measured and monitored electronically so that the heating
element is switched off as soon as it is
reached. The drying cycle automatically finishes with a cool-ling down
period. This may be follow- ed by the
anti-crease action cycle.
The following three programme groups
are avail a ble:
- COTTONS
six programmes from "Extra dry" to "Machine iron"
- MINIMUM IRON
three programmes from "Normal +" to
"Hand iron"
- TIMED DRYING
timed drying for up to a maximum of
two hours, warm air or cool air.
Time left
The length of the programme in hours
and minutes appears and the "time left"
indicator light comes on (after the delay
start period has expired, if selected) as
soon as
a timed programme is chosen
the cooling down phase of the COTTONS or MINIMUM IRON programme is reached.
The length of a timed drying programme can be selected using the
_ touch pads between 15 minutes
and 2 hours.
Once the program m e h a s st a rt e d t h e

Emptying the condensed water container
The dryer does not need to be connected to a venting system or to be
plumbed in. The moisture extracted during tumbling is condensed and collected
in the condensed water container , situated at the left of the facia panel. It holds
approx. 4 litres of water and should be
emptied after each drying cycle.
T o empty the condensed water container
Pull the container out of the machine
Slide the cap of the drainage outlet
in the direction of the arrow and hold
to the side while emptying.
After emptying, release the cap
which will automatically close over
the drainage outlet.
Push the container fully in until it en-
gages into place.
If the container is still full when a new
programme is started or during a programme:
the indicator light "empty out con-
tainer" will come on.
a buzzer sounds
the drying programme is interrupted
the washing is cooled and the indica-
tor "Cooling down" lights up
Note:
Because of the distilling action during
drying, the water from the condensed
water container is pure enough to be
used in a steam iron or humidifier.
Laundry must be thoroughly rinsed if
the condensed water is to be used. To
be completely sure that no particles of
fluff are carr i e d in to the appliance
where they could cause damage, pass
the condensed water through a fine
sieve or paper filter.
17
Cleaning and care
The fluff which occurs during drying is
collected in the fluff filters in the door
and in the door opening.
Clean the filters after every programme
to save time and energy.
Grip the filter by the recessed
handle and pull upwards to clean.
Remove any remaining fluff from the
hollow part of the door through the
wide slit at the bottom.
Remove the small filters in the door
opening and rinse them well under
running hot water.
Dry the filters before putting them
back in place.
Before cleaning the tumble dryer: Always disconnect the machine from
the power supply.
The dryer can be cleaned with a
cloth using soapy water or a mild
detergent (not scouring powder) and
dried with a soft cloth.
The drum and other stainless steel
parts of the casing may be cleaned
using a suitable proprietary stainless
steel cleaner following the manufac-
turer’s instructions and dried with a
soft cloth.
The machine must never be hosed
down. Do not use any abrasive sub-
stances or scouring pads to clean
the machine.
18
Cleaning and care

20
Problem solving guide
Electrical appliances should only be
repaired by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the
user.
There are, however, minor faults which
can be corrected without contacting
the Service Department.
If the indicator lights do not light up,
check that
the "On-Off" button is pressed in
the door is properly closed
the mains plug is plugged in and the
fuse or circuit breaker has not
tripped.
Laundry is not sufficiently dry.
The load consists of dissimilar items in
terms of size and fabric.
Select a longer drying programme
next time.
Activate the programmable function
"Altering the degree of drying".
Small loads or individual items may
cause the programme to terminate prematurely.
The air inlet below the drum door may
be blocked, preventing fresh air from
being drawn in.
Ventilation is inadequate (e.g. in a small
room).
When the machine is in operation,
open a door or the window.
Water comes out of the machine just
after the condenser unit has been
cleaned.
Check that the condenser unit has
been correctly replaced, and secure
it if necessary.
Items made of synthetic fibres are
charged with static electricity after
drying.
Static charge can be reduced by adding fabric conditioner during the final
rinse cycle in the washing machine, or
a fabric conditioner sheet in the tumble
dryer.
Build up of fluff
Fluff comes off textiles naturally during
wearing and washing. The fluff that collects in the filters of a tumble dryer has
no effect on the lifetime of your laundry.
Small loads should therefore be
"time-dried".
Drying times are too long.
Clean the fluff filters in the door and
in the door opening.
The laundry was not spun for a sufficiently long time.

Problem solving guide
To open the door in the event of
power failure
Water droplets appear at the upper
edge of the drum aperture
A double filter system with dual insulation prevents fluff from being deposited
in the condenser unit.
This means that the condenser unit
does not need to be cleaned so often.
The dual insulation can lead to the
build-up of condensate. Laundry
being removed from the machine may
come into contact with these water droplets. They will, however, dry off in a
matter of minutes.
The drum door opens during the
drying cycle.
The machine has overheated. The temperature limiter opens the drum door
and thus causes the machine to switch
off automatically.
Possible reasons for overheating:
The fluff filters in the door and in the
door opening are clogged up.
The condenser unit is blocked.
Before restarting the programme, pro-
ceed as follows:
Release the On-Off button
Clean the affected part of the ma-
chine
Switch the machine on again
Press the "Start" touch pad
Should the drum door open again, this
must be due to a technical fault and
the Service Dept. should be contacted.
Three horizontal lines appear in the
Time display "---".
This may be because the machine has
been on for too long, and a safety cutout has operated.
Start the programme again.
If the lines appear again, this indicates
a fault. Call the Miele Service Dept.
