Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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.

Disposing 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. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

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, e.g. approx. 20% energy can be saved if spun at 1600 rpm instead of 1000 rpm.

–Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing.

–Make sure the room temperature is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the tumble dryer is located, make sure the room is well-ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.

–Clean the fluff filters in the door opening after every drying cycle.

It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with current local and national 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 designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

This tumble dryer is not suitable for outdoor use.

It must only be used 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. If using dry cleaning kits, 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble dryer unsupervised.

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do not let them play with it.

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 (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

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 appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 circuit breaker.

This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.

–The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

–The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

–In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has been transported and installed correctly.

Warning and Safety instructions

Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and "Technical data".

The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to separate the tumble dryer from the mains.

Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a sufficient flow of air to the tumble dryer.

Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Caution! Risk of fire.

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

A clogged filter is a fire hazard!

The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.

The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 9.0 kg (dry weight). See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes.

To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device). If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.

Warning and Safety instructions

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).

–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.

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 contaminated with vegetable or cooking oil, or 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.

Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

Warning and Safety instructions

Warning: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up or spread it out to cool it down.

Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

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

–Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents).

–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.

–Damaged fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it 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 selfigniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase has been completed.

As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the drum.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer must not be used without or

–with damaged fluff filters.

–with a damaged plinth filter.

This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault.

The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.

Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Do no replace them if they are damp or wet. 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 and hoses.

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 heat exchanger over time.

The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)

Only use genuine Miele original fragrance flacons.

The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please make sure you retain this.

Caution. The fragrance can run out of the flacon. Make sure that you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place down on any surface.

Use an absorbent cloth immediately to wipe up any fragrance which has run out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer components (e.g. the fluff filter).

If fragrance which has run out of a flacon should come in contact with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; come in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes; be swallowed - rinse out the mouth thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical advice in the case of contact with the eyes or if fragrance has been swallowed.

If fragrance which has run out of a flacon comes in contact with clothing, change the clothing immediately. Wash the clothing or any cloths used for mopping up fragrance thoroughly with plenty of water and detergent.

There is the risk of fire or damage to the tumble dryer if the following instructions are not observed:

–Never refill a flacon with fragrance.

–Never use a faulty fragrance flacon.

Dispose of an empty fragrance flacon with the household waste and never use it for any other purpose.

Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance flacon.

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Points to note regarding washed laundry

–When washing very heavily soiled items, ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

–Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Make sure your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin speed, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.

–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 dryer. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

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

Preparing the laundry before drying

Make sure that any objects, e.g. detergent dosing balls, lighters etc. have been removed from the laundry.

They could melt or explode and cause damage to the tumble dryer or the laundry.

See "Warning and Safety" instructions for further information.

Loading or using the tumble dryer incorrectly could cause a fire.

–Sort the laundry according to the type of fibre and weave, size, garment care label symbol and the drying level required.

–Check the seams of padded or down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out. These could catch fire when being dried.

–Disentangle the laundry.

–Tie together textile belts and apron ties.

–Fasten . . .

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

. . . hooks and eyes.

–Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.

–Leave jackets open and undo any long zips so that textiles dry evenly.

–Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease more, the greater the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses. If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabric.

Laundry care when drying in a tumble dryer

See the "Programme chart".

This describes the programmes and gives their maximum load.

–With half loads you can select the

Auto load control Extra.

–Select an appropriate drying level, e.g. . . .

. . . Normal plus if you want to fold and put away the laundry after you take it out of the dryer.. . . Machine iron if the laundry, e.g. table linen, requires further processing after drying.

–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

Gentle 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. It can be partially dried using the Gentle smoothing programme.

–Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can, however, be "fluffed up" in the Woollens handcare programme.

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

–Select the Gentle tumble Extra for fabric which is particularly heatsensitive or susceptible to creasing.

2. Loading the tumble dryer

It is essential to read "1. Notes on correct laundry care" first of all.

Switch the tumble dryer on by pressing the button.

The interior drum lighting will come on.

The interior drum lighting will automatically go out after a few minutes and/or after the start of a programme to save energy.

Opening the door

Pull the door open at the side with the orange marker.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.

Do not overload the drum.

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

When closing the door, make sure that laundry does not get trapped in the door opening.

This could damage the laundry.

If you are not using a fragrance flacon: the tab must be pushed down completely (see arrow).

Closing the door

Shut the door with a gentle swing.
