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 or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines 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 or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.

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 filters are clean before using the dryer.

Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Correct application

This tumble dryer is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments such as:

Shops

Offices and showrooms

and by residents in establishments such as

– Hostels and guest houses

It must only be used as a domestic appliance to dry items which have been washed in a water solution and which are 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 usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation of the tumble dryer..

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 correctly 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 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

To avoid the possible danger of fire please read these warnings carefully.

A clogged filter is a fire hazard! The lint filter must be cleaned after every program.

Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

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 that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths)should be washed in hot water with extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail polish 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.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.

The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat.

If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles or products must not be dried in this tumble dryer:

Items which have been dry-cleaned (for example with a chemical treatment).

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.

Fabrics 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.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in any way.

The fluff filters must be cleaned regularly.

The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place.

The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.

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.

There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump, hoses and / or condensed water container.

The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C.

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 both people and animals.

Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the condenser unit over time.

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.

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.

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.

Notes on laundry care

Care symbols

Before drying check the drying symbol on the care label. If there are no symbols, dry at your own risk!

. . . . . . . . . Dry at normal temperature

. . . . . . . . . . Dry at a low temperature

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Do not tumble dry

Cottons, linens and minimum iron items should be dried using the appropriate programme for the degree of dryness required.

For delicates and fabrics with the following care label select the Low temperature extra option.

Tips on drying

Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the "Programme chart". Never overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.

Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly after washing using the appropriate spin speed.

Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can, however, be partially dried using the Woollens hand care programme.

Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.

Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme.

Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton shirts or blouses tend to crease more the greater the load. This is especially true of very fine weaves, such as shirts or blouses. Reduce the load or use the Shirts programme.

Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.

New dark coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light coloured garments to avoid the danger of colours running and discolouring other garments or even plastic components in the machine. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

How to dry correctly

Brief instructions

The headings numbered ( , , ...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide to using your dryer.

Sort the laundry

To ensure an even drying result separate out the washed laundry and sort it according to:

. . . the drying level required

. . . the type of fibre or weave

. . . size

. . . the moisture content after spinning.

Make sure that objects e.g. detergent dispensing balls have been removed from the laundry. They could melt, and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry.

Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact.

Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being trapped inside them.

Fasten zips, hooks and eyes etc.

Tie fabric belts and apron strings.

Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.

Turn on the tumble dryer

Switch the dryer on by pressing the

I-On/0-Off button in.

The tumble dryer may be switched on after loading, saving energy as the light will not come on.

Load the tumble dryer

Press the door button to open the door.

Load the laundry loosely into the drum.

Do not overload the drum. See the "Programme chart" for recommended loads for each programme.

Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.

Before closing the door make sure the fluff filter is correctly positioned in the door.

Check the laundry is right inside the drum so that it cannot get trapped or damaged when the door is shut.

Shut the door either with a gentle swing, or lean against it and push it shut.

13

How to dry correctly
