Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

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.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

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) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

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

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).

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat and are a fire hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

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

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, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

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

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

The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

Warning and Safety instructions

Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to a higher temperature level and liquefied by condensing, is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.

Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon. This can damage the heat pump.

After setting up the tumble dryer wait for at least one hour before switching it on.

–The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

–The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

–This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Hermetically sealed.

appliance

The designation and quantity of refrigerant that apply to this tumble dryer, and the ozone-depletion potential, can be found on the data plate (at the back of the tumble dryer).

Warning and Safety instructions

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 dryer.

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

This tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

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

This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised person or the Miele Service Department.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct 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. There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and hoses.

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

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: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or spread out to cool it down.

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-ig- niting). 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.

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 deposits (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 (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.

–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.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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).

–Items 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 items 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.

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.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the tumble dryer to tip up.

The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.

The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Do not replace them if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer must not be used without fluff filters or

–with damaged fluff filters, or

–with a damaged plinth filter.

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

cause a fault.

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 if con-

sumed.

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.

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

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 leak 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 to wipe up any fragrance which has leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer components (e.g. the fluff filter) immediately.

If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon: comes into contact with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; comes in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes; is 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 leaked 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 original spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.

The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit (available to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine is required.

Energy saving tips

This dryer with heat-pump technology is designed for energy-saving drying cycles. However, you can save a little more energy with the following measures as the drying time is not extended unnecessarily.

–Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying. The higher the spin speed, 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. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is at its most economical.

–Make sure that the room temperature is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the 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.

Please refer to “Cleaning and care” for information on cleaning the fluff filters and the plinth filter.

–If possible, make use of time-vari- able, low-cost electricity tariffs. Ask your energy supplier for information. Your tumble dryer's delay start function will be useful as you can select when during the next 24 hours you want drying to start automatically.

Energy saving tips

EcoFeedback

You can view information about the energy consumption of your tumble dryer with the sensor.

The following information will appear in the display:

–An estimate of the energy consumption before the programme begins.

–The actual energy consumption during the programme or at the end of the programme.

1. Viewing the estimated consumption

After selecting a drying programme, touch the sensor.

The estimated energy consumption level will be displayed as a bar chart.


			OK

The more bars visible (), the higher the energy consumption.

The estimate will vary depending on the drying programme, temperature and any options selected.

Touch the OK sensor or wait until the display automatically returns to the standard display.

2. Viewing the actual consumption

The actual energy consumption can be viewed during the programme or at the end of the programme.

Touch the sensor.


Energy	< 0.1 kWh	OK

The consumption will alter as the programme progresses.

It is also possible to view the soiling level of the filter as a % at the end of the programme before you open the door.

Touch the sensor to switch to the

Filter display.

0 % = lightly soiled, 50 % = average soiling, 100 % = heavily soiled. Increased soiling will cause the programme duration to increase which in turn will increase energy consumption.

If the door is opened or the appliance has switched off automatically at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption.

Tip: You can view the consumption data for the last drying programme in

Settings under Consumption.

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

Damage due to foreign objects which were not removed from the laundry.

Foreign objects can melt, burn, or explode.

Ensure that any foreign objects, e.g. detergent dispensing balls, lighters, etc. have been removed from the laundry.

Risk of fire due to incorrect use and operation.

The laundry can burn and destroy the dryer and the surroundings. See “Warning and Safety” instructions for further information.

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

–Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact. This way you will avoid the danger of fillings coming out. These could catch fire when being dried.

–Disentangle the laundry.

–Tie together textile belts and ties.

–Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

–Fasten hooks and eyes.

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

–Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.

–If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabric. Easy care fabric tends to crease more, the larger the load. This is particularly the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Drying

Tip: See the “Programme chart”.

It lists all programmes and their maximum load.

–Always observe the maximum recommended load for each programme. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is at its most economical.

–Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. Only use the Pre-ironing programme for these textiles.

–Pure linen should only be tumble dried if it is specified as suitable on the care label. The surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. Only use the Pre-ironing programme for these textiles.

–Woollens and wool blends are susceptible to becoming matted or shrinking. Only use the Woollens handcare programme for these textiles.
