Warning and safety instructions
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 owners of the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution and are
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.
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 cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of
an inadequate earthing system.
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.
In the event of a fault, or for clean-
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
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.

Warning and safety instructions
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.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension cable. There is a
danger of overheating.
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.
Use
A washer and dryer should never
be stacked without using the
proper stacking kit. Doing so is extremely dangerous, as the dryer may vibrate off of the washing machine during use.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
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
covered by the appliance guarantee.
If the water is drained externally
through the drain hose instead of
being collected in the condensed
water container, make sure the drain
hose is securely attached if you hang it
in a sink or basin 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.
Always close the door after use to
avoid the danger of:
– someone leaning on the door which
could cause the machine to tip;
– children climbing into the machine or
hiding objects in it.
Do not let small children play with
the machine and its controls or
operate it. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop below freezing, as temperatures
below zero could damage the machine.
Frozen condensed water in the pump,
hose and condensed water container
could also lead to damage.

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;
– also padded items (eg cushions,
jackets) which have been damaged,
as the padding could fall out and
catch fire;
– are soiled with grease or oil.
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.
Disposing of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind
the appliance to prevent misuse.

Brief instructions
Brief instructions
Brief description
Programmes are selected by turning
the programme selector and can be
supplemented by pressing the addi-
tional option buttons.
Press the “START” button to begin a
programme.
The indicator lights in the sequence dis-
play (on the right hand side of the control panel) show which stage has been
reached in the programme.
The Sensitive system automatically ad-
justs drying to suit the water quality
and ensure more precise results.
The Novotronic controls measure and
register the conductivity of the water
and compensate for variations to
achieve a uniform residual moisture
level.
The automatic reversing action turns
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise
to loosen the laundry and prevent
uneven drying, ensuring good results.
Please read the sections on “Warning and safety” and “Notes on
laundry care”.
1 Switching the machine on and
loading the laundry
Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0Off” button.
Press the “Door” button to open the
door.
Place the laundry loosely in the drum.
Swing the door shut but do not slam
it. Do not push on the door to shut it.
2 Selecting a programme
Turn the programme selector to the
drying level you require.
3 Selecting additional option(s)
Press the buttons to switch additional options on or off as required.
Once the required degree of dryness is
achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool
down.
At the end of the programme the anti-
crease action period begins. The drum
turns intermittently to reduce the formation of creases and folds.
Programmable functions can be used
to select or de-select some of the additional options and introduce further
functions. These combinations can be
stored in the machine’s memory and
called up.

4 Starting the programme
Press the “START” button.
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
(also push in the “Low temperature”
button if required)
s = Do not tumble dry
t = Can be tumble dried
If no symbol is featured, dry at your
own risk applying the following principles:
Cotton and minimum iron items should
be dried in the appropriate programme
(see programme charts).
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low
temperature" button.
Notes on laundry care
Notes:
Some woven and loopknit materials
(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)
have a tendency to shrink, depending
on their quality, and this is often made
worse by over-drying. When purchasing woven materials, it is advisable to
take their shrinkage properties into account.
Starched washing can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
Minimum iron shirts or blouses in 100%
cotton may crease badly, depending
on the quality and weave. Try drying
these items using the “Hand iron” setting but if this is unsatisfactory use the
"Smoothing" setting, then hang the garments on a hanger to dry.
The following fabrics should not
be dried in a tumble dryer:
– Woollens and wool blends
These fabrics tend to become
matted and shrink. These fabrics
can, however, be partially dried
using the “Woollens hand care” programme.
– Down-filled items*
The fine fabric interior tends to
shrink, depending on the quality.
– 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 “roughen”.
* Linen and down-filled items can,
however, be patially dried using the
“Smoothing” programme.
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the larger the drying load, particularly when the weave of the fabric is very
fine. The load should be reduced to
1.5 kg or, if necessary, to 1 kg.
New dark-coloured fabrics should be
dried separately from light-coloured
fabrics to avoid colours running.
Never overload the drum. Always
observe the maximum recommended loads given in the “Programme chart”. Overloading can
cause unnecessary wear and tear
to the laundry, give a disappointing
drying result and cause more creasing.

Hints on saving energy
Make sure that your laundry has been
thoroughly spun at the highest appropriate spin speed before drying. Spinning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves
approximately 30% energy and time
compared with 800 rpm.
Make sure there is no washing
detergent dispenser among the
laundry, as this could melt and damage the machine and the laundry.
Load the laundry very loosely into
the drum.
Load the full amount of laundry according to the programme chosen
(see “Programme chart”) for the
most economical drying related to
the size of the load. Make sure that
the drum is not over- or underloaded.
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:
– the type of fibre or weave
– the degree of drying required
– similar size of items
– the moisture content after
spinning.
This will help towards an even drying
result.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.
1Switching on and loading
Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent
small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and
apron strings.
Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.
Press the “Door” button and open
the door.
Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
Shut the door with a light swing but
do not slam it. Do not push on the
door to shut it.
Important: Please check that items
of laundry cannot be trapped by the
door, as this will cause damage to
the fabric.
