Caring for 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.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of your
appliance with your household waste.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
Make sure that your laundry is
–
thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
Load according to the optimum
–
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
"Programme chart").
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filter is clean
before using the dryer.
– Check all parts of the ventilation
system on a regular basis and
remove any build up of fluff etc.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

–
The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.

It is essential to read these
~
instructions.
This tumble dryer conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead
to personal injury and damage to
property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the tumble dryer, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, installation, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This tumble dryer is only intended
~
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, and marked
on the manufacturer's care label as
being suitable for tumble drying.
"Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up
garments in a tumble dryer are
increasingly available on the market. If
using, do so at your own risk, and follow
the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
This appliance is not intended for
~
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it by a person responsible for
their safety.
Safety with children
Keep children away from the tumble
~
dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow them to
play on or near it or to play with its
controls. Supervise children whilst you
are using it.
Older children may only use it if its
~
operation has been clearly explained to
them, and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of incorrect
use.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer,
~
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble
dryer.
Before connecting the tumble dryer,
~
ensure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this tumble
~
dryer can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and where
there is any doubt the household wiring
system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Do not connect the tumble dryer to
~
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
tumble dryer (e.g. danger of
overheating).
Unauthorised repairs could result in
~
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
tumble dryer until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
tumble dryer be guaranteed.
If the connection cable is faulty it
~
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the tumble dryer is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
This tumble dryer may only be used
~
in mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
In countries where there are areas
~
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
tumble dryer and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Do not make any alterations to the
~
tumble dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
items which have not been washed.
–
items, such as workwear, which have
–
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
– items which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
– items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following must not be dried in this
tumble dryer:
fabrics which contain a large
–
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example,
products made from latex foam
rubber, shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubberised articles and items
of clothing and pillows with foam
rubber filling.
items 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.
In many programmes, the heating
~
phase is followed by a cooling down
phase to ensure that the items are not
too hot to handle when you remove
them (this also avoids the danger of the
laundry self-igniting). The programme is
not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.
Fabric conditioner and similar
~
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The dryer must not be used without
~
the fluff filter in place or if the fluff filter is
damaged in any way.
The fluff filter must be cleaned
~
regularly.
The tumble dryer must not be used
~
without vent ducting in place.
The tumble dryer must not be
~
connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a
~
room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the tumble dryer may not
be able to operate properly.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C
Check all parts of the extraction
~
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall
vent, external grille, bends in the
ducting etc.) and make sure they are all
free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff
will prevent a free flow of air through the
system. If the dryer is to be connected
to an existing ducting system, this must
be checked for suitability beforehand.
Adequate ventilation is essential to
~
avoid the danger of asphyxia and
toxic fumes where another appliance
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 given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is
the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by:
air inlets in the external wall which
–
cannot be closed or blocked, or
– by fitting a window contact switch
which ensures that the tumble dryer
can only be operated when the
window is opened wide enough.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent
builder must be sought.
The room in which the dryer is
~
installed must be clean and free of dust
and fluff.
Particles of dirt entering the dryer can
lead to blockages occurring.
The exhaust air must not be vented
~
into a chimney or vent flue which is in
use, nor 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
~
door, as this can cause the tumble
dryer to tip up.
Always close the door after use. This
~
way you will avoid the danger of:
children climbing onto or into the
–
dryer or hiding things in it.
pets or other small animals climbing
–
into it.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed
~
down.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts
~
and accessories with this appliance.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

Programme duration / Estimated time
remaining
When a programme is selected, the
estimated duration (time remaining) will
appear in the display. Please be aware
that it is only an estimate!
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
In the same way, the Woollens
handcare, Silks handcare and
Smoothing programmes can finish
earlier than expected if a certain
temperature is reached. This can
happen with particularly fine fabrics,
very small loads or if items were partly
dry beforehand.
Delay start
The delay start time selected will
appear in the display.
After the Start/Stop button has been
pressed, the delay start time will start
counting down.
Once the delay start time has elapsed,
the programme will begin and the
estimated programme duration will
appear in the display.
Programmable functions
The programmable functions can be
used to tailor drying programmes to suit
your individual requirements. In
programming mode, the display will
show the function selected.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the dryer and adjust the
estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this, the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme.
