Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The packing materials protect the dryer from damage during transport. They have been selected for environmental compatibility and efficient disposal and can therefore be recycled.
To prevent suffocation, ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Disposing of your old appliance
Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
Ensure that a discarded dryer presents no danger to children. When being stored for disposal remove the door to the drying compartment.
Saving energy
To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and increased energy use:
Let the wash spin in the washer at
maximum spin speed. You can save about 30% in energy and time if you spin at 1600 instead of 800 rpm.
Use the maximum load for each
drying program. This gives the optimum energy consumption in relation to the total amount of laundry.
– Ensure that the room where the dryer
is located is sufficiently ventilated.
– Clean the lint screen after every use.
– Inspect the vent ducting regularly
and its components for possible stoppage by lint and remove as necessary.
– When installing, the vent ducting
avoid too many curves or bends.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The dryer should not be operated
~
without a vent duct.
It should not be connected to a
~
chimney used for other purposes.
Do not place the dryer in a room
~
where there is a risk of frost occurring. Temperatures around freezing affect dryer performance. Acceptable room temperature should lie between +2°C and +35°C.
Check all components of the venting
~
system (such as the wall pipe, external grill, elbows and bends, etc.) for airtightness. Lint can build up, impeding airflow. If a pre-existing system is present, it should be checked before the dryer is installed.
Ducting must not be connected to a
~
fireplace or gas flue that is in use, nor to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces. Otherwise there is the danger of smoke or exhaust gas being driven back.
A suffocation and poisoning
~
hazard exists from suction of exhaust gases, when gas water heaters, space heaters, coal stoves with chimney connections, etc., are installed in the same room, or in the dwelling, or in neighboring rooms and the under pressure is 4 Pa or more. Prevent underpressure by sufficient room ventilation, by, for instance:
Safe operation and avoidance of an underpressure of 4 Pa or more should in any case be confirmed by your Master Chimney Sweep.
Keep the room in which the dryer is
~
installed free of dust and fluff. Dirt particles in the entering air promote stoppages.
Do not support yourself or lean on
~
the door. The dryer might tip over.
Close the door after every drying
~
cycle. In this way you can prevent
children from trying to climb into the
dryer or leaving objects inside it.
– small animals from getting into the
dryer.
Do not hose down the dryer.
~
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be
~
attached or installed when they have been expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are added or installed, guarantee, performance and/or product liability claims are invalidated.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage caused by failure to comply with the safety instructions and warnings.

Program duration/ Estimated time remaining
When a program is selected, the estimated time remaining will be displayed. This is to be considered an estimate only.
In this way, the delicate and smoothing programs can end earlier, when a certain temperature is reached. This can happen with particularly fine fabrics, very small loads, or if items have previously been dried.
Delay
The delay time selected will be displayed.
The delay time countdown begins after pressing the Start button.
Once the time delay expired, the estimated program duration will appear in the display and the drying begins.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be used to adapt the dryer to your personal requirements. In programming mode, the display will show the function selected.
The following factors can lead to variations in the time remaining estimate: Residual moisture after spinning; type of fabric; size of load; ambient temperature, or fluctuations in the power supply.
The adaptive electronics constantly adjusts to the individual wash load to ensure a more accurate estimate of time remaining. This estimate is permanently monitored during drying, which in some cases can lead to a change in the estimate.

Laundry care
Wrinkling
This especially occurs with very fine fabrics as used in shirts and blouses.
To limit wrinkling the dryer performs the following actions:
1. Tumble drying with drum reversal (prevents roll-ups of laundry, creasing and uneven drying),
2. Constantly measures the temperature of air coming into and leaving the drum,
3. Cycles two heater sections for 0, half and full power,
4. Automatic drying stage termination, after the desired Dryness level of laundry is reached. To do this, the dryer is equipped with systems:
- water conductivity metering,
- sensing of laundry’s residual
moisture,
- software.
5. Cooling down with tumbling and drum reversal,
increases with larger loads.
6. Anti-crease with drum reversal.
In cases of doubt, reduce the load by dividing it. Use the Dress shirts program.

There has been a lint buildup.
Synthetics have a tendency to static discharges.
Drying releases fabric lint formed primarily from rubbing during wear but also, in part, from washing. The stress on fabrics in the dryer is minimal in relation to their strength.
Using a fabric softener in the last rinse cycle can reduce static charge when drying.
Lint released is captured in the door lint filter and can be easily removed (see "Care and Cleaning").

Leveling the dryer
To ensure trouble-free operation, the dryer must be perfectly level.
Ensure that is an air gap of at
,
least 10 mm between the underside of the dryer and the floor. This air gap must not be restricted by power bars, high-nap carpets, etc. Otherwise, sufficient air flow cannot be guaranteed.
Ventilating the installation area
The air needed for drying is extracted from the installation space. You must therefore take measures for sufficient room ventilation, by opening windows for instance. Otherwise you can expect longer running times and higher energy consumption.
^
Compensate for floor irregularities by turning the threaded feet in or out.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
The dryer comes witha5ftlong, 12/4 AWG cord and a NEMA 14-30 P plug.
It should be connected to a 120/208-240 V, 30 A, 60 Hz AC power supply. A 3 pole-4 wire grounding power outlet (NEMA type 14-30 R) is necessary.
The dryer is equipped with a power cable and plug ready for connection.
The plug must always be accessible to facilitate disconnecting the dryer from the electrical supply.
To eliminate a potential fire source, the dryer should NEVER be connected by means of extension cords, or by multi-outlet power strips or the like.
The appliance data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the approbiate fuse capacity. Please compare the information on the data plate with the electrical network data.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance! If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Installing the dryer vent
General
Important
The dryer should only be operated when the moist air produced by drying is ducted to the outside, by means of: . . ...aflexible venting house, or piping connected to the dryer, or ...adirect connection to a through-wall pipe.
The appliance should not be
electrically connected while the venting is being installed.
– The ducting outlet (for instance, a
wall pipe) is to be located so that the moist air . . . . . cannot be drawn back into the dryer installation space; . . . will cause no structural damage or unacceptable nuisance.
– Air required for drying is drawn from
the installation space. Consequently, ensure that there is sufficient room ventilation when drying to prevent possible asphyxiation from the possibility of expelled gasses being drawn back into the room, as well as to prevent much longer drying times; for example:
- Open windows;
- fitting unblockable air inlets in the external wall;
- install window switches, so that the dryer can only be turned on when the window is open.
Avoid:
very long ducting systems.
too many sharp bends or corners.
Otherwise you will have less efficient drying and increased time and energy consumption.
Use:
for ventilation ducting:
rigid or flexible metal ducting with a 100 mm diameter.
for venting to the outside:
a wall pipe or window vent kit.
Procedure
^ First measure the duct length
required. From this, calculate the total duct length and determine the required diameter (see the next pages). Note that a greater overall duct length requires a larger pipe diameter.
^
Then, decide which type of ducting you wish to use (see "Installing Venting Systems" in this section).
34
Page 35
Calculating total duct length
Each of bends and differing components of the dryer's venting creates its own frictional resistance to the flow of the exhaust air. This frictional resistance is expressed in a comparative duct length. The comparative duct length indicates the length of a smooth straight pipe (of the same diameter), producing the same resistance to air flow as the original ducting component (Table I).
Adding together the comparative duct lengths of all components reveals the total duct length. The total duct length is a calculated value that compares how long a smooth straight venting pipe would have to be for the same air flow.
Since an internal pipe diameter strongly affects flow's resistance, a vent with a total duct length exceeding 20
m requires a larger diameter (Table II).
Procedure
1. Measure the distance requiring straight by the corresponding comparative pipe length from Table I.
2. Determine the number of bends components comparative lengths together using Table I.

b Dryer vent systems from metal piping
Smooth piping makes sense where the vented air has to be carried a considerable distance. A pipe offers less resistance to the discharge air than does, for instance, a flexible ventilation duct. Time and energy consumption improve with smooth piping.
You require
a connector adapter* (diameter 100
mm).
– a wall pipe kit or a window vent vent
kit.
– Metal venting pipe from a builder or
plumbing supplier(diameter 100 mm). If a larger pipe diameter is needed, adapters are necessary (for example, to transition from 100 to 125 mm diameters).
Example
1. Wall vent kit
2. Adapter
3. Metal dryer venting pipe, diameter 4" (100 mm).
