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 cause unnecessary creasing.
Before using for the first time
Important: The appliance must be properly installed and connected to the electricity supply.
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.

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 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 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 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 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 cleaning 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
Caution: If the appliance is supplied 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 per-
sons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
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 lacquer, 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.
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 securely 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 prob-
lems 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.
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 temperature 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 ma- chine-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 order 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 remove 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 followed by the anti-crease action cycle.
The following three programme groups are available:
- 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.
The following additional information is available:
SEQUENCE
The programme sequence indicator shows the current stage of the programme and the degree of drying reached.
Display field "TIME" (h mins)
The display field is situated to the right of the sequence indicator and has a double function:
–Time left (only for timed drying programme)
–Delay start
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 programme has started the time left counts down at 1 minute intervals.
Delay start
A programme start time can be delayed by a maximum of 9 hours 30 minutes.
Select the required programme. Press the DELAY START touch control pad.
The indicator light d and the one in the pad light up.
Set the delay start by pressing the $ or > touch pads underneath the time display:
1 x press = 30 mins
2 x press = 1 hour
Press the START touch pad.
The delay start time is displayed and counts down in minutes.
Delay start can still be changed after the START pad has been pressed, (provided that the Child Safety option has not been programmed in).
