Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing

Disposal of your old

machine/appliance

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials

which are environmentally friendly for

disposal and can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these ma-

terials away, please ensure they are of-

fered for recycling.

Old machines/appliances contain ma-

terials which can be recycled. Please

contact your dealer, your local waste

collection centre or scrap merchant

about potential recycling schemes. En-

sure that the machine/appliance pres-

ents no danger to children while being

stored for disposal. See the appropri-

ate advice in the “Warning and safety”

instructions.

Warning and safety instructions

Please read the operating instruc-

tions before using the tumble dryer

for the first time. They contain im-

portant information about the safety,

use and maintenance of the

machine. This will avoid the risk of

accidents and damage to the ma-

chine. Keep these operating in-

structions in a safe place and en-

sure that new users are familiar with

the content. Pass them on to any fu-

ture owners of the machine.

The electrical safety of this ma-

chine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the appliance and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most import-

ant that this basic safety requirement is

regularly tested by a qualified electri-

cian. The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for the consequences of

an inadequate earthing system.

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in un-

foreseen dangers for the user, for which

the manufacturer cannot accept respon-

sibility. Repairs should only be under-

taken by a Miele approved engineer.

Correct usage

The tumble dryer is only intended

for drying fabrics which have been

washed in a water solution and are

marked on the manufacturer’s wash

care label as being suitable for tumble

drying.

Any other applications may be dan-

gerous. The manufacturer is not liable

for damage resulting from improper

use or operation.

Adequate ventilation is essential,

especially where another appliance

which also uses the room air (eg gas, oil

or coal fired heater, continuous flow or

other water heater) is installed in the same

or an adjacent room. To ensure safe oper-

ation, 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 which can-

not be blocked, in windows, doors and

outside wall vents, or by an automatic win-

dow opening arrangement when the

tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,

the advice of a competent builder, or for

gas, a “Corgi” installer (in UK) must be

sought.

Do not let small children play with

the machine and its controls or

operate it. Please supervise its use by

the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Check for visible external damage

before installation.

Do not install or operate a damaged

machine or appliance.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-

quency) matches the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-

fied electrician.

which is in use, nor should it be con-

nected to ducting which ventilates

rooms with fireplaces. It would be dan-

gerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were

drawn back into the room.

In the event of a fault, or for clean-

ing purposes, the machine is only

completely isolated from the electricity

supply when:

Always close the door after use to

avoid the danger of:

– the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

– someone leaning on the door which

could cause the machine to tip;

– children climbing into the machine or

hiding objects in it.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fitted

can the safety standards of the ma-

chine be guaranteed.

There is a danger of fire with fab-

rics which:

– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-

ber-like materials;

Use

– have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents;

– have been splashed with hair lac-

quer, hair spray, nail varnish

remover or similar;

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may

drop below freezing, as temperatures

below zero could damage the ma-

chine.

– also padded items (eg cushions,

jackets) which have been damaged,

as the padding could fall out and

catch fire;

A suitable ducting system must be

installed before operating this

vented dryer.

– are soiled with grease or oil.

Warning and safety instructions

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infesta-

tion by cockroaches or other vermin,

pay particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any dam-

age which may be caused by cock-

roaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the appliance guarantee.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, guaran-

tee, performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.

Disposing of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

unplug it and render the plug use-

less. Cut off the cable directly behind

the appliance to prevent misuse.

Brief instructions

Brief description

Please read the sections on “Warn-

ing and safety” and “Notes on

laundry care”.

Programmes are selected by turning

the programme selector and can be

supplemented by pressing the addi-

tional option buttons.

1Switching the machine on and

loading the laundry

Press the “START” button to begin a

programme.

Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-

Off” button.

The indicator lights in the sequence dis-

play (on the right hand side of the con-

trol panel) show which stage has been

reached in the programme.

Press the “Door” button to open the

door.

Place the laundry loosely in the drum.

Close the door.

The Sensitive system automatically ad-

justs drying to suit the water quality

and ensure more precise results.

The Novotronic controls measure and

and compensate for variations to

achieve a uniform residual moisture

level.

2Selecting a programme

Turn the programme selector to the

drying level you require.

3Selecting additional options

The automatic reversing action turns

the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise

to loosen the laundry and prevent

uneven drying, ensuring good results.

Press the buttons to switch addi-

tional options on or off as required.

4Starting the programme

Once the required degree of dryness is

achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool

down.

Press the “START” push button.

At the end of the programme the anti-

crease action period begins. The drum

turns intermittently to reduce the forma-

tion of creases and folds.

Programmable functions can be used

to select or de-select some of the addi-

tional options and introduce further

functions. These combinations can be

stored in the machine’s memory and

called up.

Notes on laundry care

– Pure linen*

Before drying, check the drying sym-

bol on the textile care label.

These items should only be machine

dried if specified as suitable by the

manufacturer on the textile care label,

as the surface of the fabric may other-

wise “roughen”.

Significance of symbols:

q = Dry at normal temperature

r = Dry at low temperature

(also push in the “Low temperature”

button if required)

* Linen and down-filled items can, how-

ever, be partially dried using the

“Smoothing” programme.

s = Do not tumble dry

t = Can be tumble dried

Notes:

If no symbol is featured, dry at your own

risk applying the following principles:

Some woven and loopknit materials

(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)

have a tendency to shrink, depending

on their quality, and this is often made

worse by over-drying. When purchas-

ing woven materials, it is advisable to

take their shrinkage properties into ac-

count.

Cotton and minimum iron items should

be dried in the appropriate programme

(see programme charts).

For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select

"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low

temperature" button.

Starched washing can be dried in the

tumble dryer. In order to achieve the

usual finish, double the amount of

starch should be used.

Never overload the drum. Always

observe the maximum recom-

mended loads given in the “Pro-

gramme chart”. Overloading can

cause unnecessary wear and tear

to the laundry, give a disappointing

drying result and cause more creas-

ing.

Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton

shirts or blouses tend to crease more,

when larger loads being dried, particu-

lary when the weave of the fabric is

very fine. Reduce the load or use the

Special care “Minimum iron – Hand

iron” programme. If this is unsatisfac-

tory use the “Smoothing” setting, then

hang the garments on a hanger to dry.

The following fabrics should not be

dried in a tumble dryer:

– Woollens and wool blends

These fabrics tend to become matted

and shrink. These fabrics can, however,

be partially dried using the “Woollens

hand care” programme.

New dark-coloured fabrics should be

dried separately from light-coloured

fabrics to avoid colours running.

– Down-filled items*

The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,

depending on the quality.

How to dry correctly

Hints on saving energy

Make sure there is no washing

detergent dispenser among the

laundry, as this could melt and dam-

age the machine and the laundry.

Make sure that your laundry has been

thoroughly spun at the highest appro-

priate spin speed before drying. Spin-

ning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves

approximately 30% energy and time

compared with 800 rpm.

Load the laundry very loosely into

the drum.

Load the full amount of laundry ac-

cording to the programme chosen

(see “Programme chart”) for the

most economical drying related to

the size of the load. Make sure that

the drum is not over- or underloaded.

Do not overload the drum. Over-

loading can cause unnecessary

wear and tear to the laundry and

give a disappointing drying result.

Close the door.

As far as possible, sort fabrics for:

– the type of fibre or weave

– the degree of drying required

– similar size of items

– the moisture content after

spinning.

This will help towards an even drying

result.

Ensure the room is well ventilated.

1Switching on and loading

Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent

small items from being rolled up in-

side them.

Do up zips and tie fabric belts and

apron strings.

Important: Please check that items

of laundry cannot be trapped by the

door, as this will cause damage to

the fabric.

Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.

Press the “Door” button and open

the door.

Installation

A ventilation gap of 10 mm must be

maintained between the bottom of the

machine and the floor. It must not be

blocked by deep pile carpets,

plinths etc, preventing a sufficient in-

take of cold air.

Building under a continuous work-

top/in a row of kitchen units

The space required by the vent duct

must be taken into consideration

when calculating the distance be-

tween the machine and a wall or

other appliances or furniture on

either side.

The machine must be perfectly level to

ensure safe and proper operation.

Minor differences do not, however,

have an adverse effect on operation.

A special conversion kit* is necessary.

– The machine lid is replaced by a

coverplate which must be fitted by a

suitably competent person to ensure

electrical safety.

– Flat type ducting* is required if there

is not enough space for a vent duct.

– When installing under a worktop with

a working height of 900/910 mm, a

spacer kit* is necessary.

When built under, the running times

may be longer.

The dryer can be combined with a

Miele washing machine in a washer

and dryer stack. The appropriate stack-

ing kit* to match your washing machine

is required.

* These items are all available from your Miele

dealer.

The screw feet can be adjusted to

compensate for any uneveness in

the floor surface.

(N.B. If you wish to push your machine

under a worktop and there is space to

do this without removing the lid, the

conversion kit is not necessary. Other-

wise the conversion kit is essential).

Installation - venting

Installation to the left or right side of

the machine

The moist air from the dryer must be

vented via a ducting system.

When installing avoid:

– very long venting systems

– too many bends or corners

– tight corners

otherwise the drying result will be less

effective and it will take longer and use

more energy.

Suitable materials for venting pipe-

work:

– galvanised steel piping

– plastic piping

Remove only the cover cap. Do not

remove the frame.

– flexible piping

The venting connection can be made:

– to the rear (the machine is supplied

with the connection at the rear open)

– to the left or right side of the ma-

chine.

Install the venting pipework in such

a way that the moist expelled air

cannot be drawn into the machine

again.

Use the cover cap to close the rear

outlet.

Connection must not be made to a

flue used by gas or solid fuel boilers

or heaters.

Fitting the venting pipework

An adapter (Ø 100 mm) for the venting

pipe is supplied as standard.

It is to be fitted into the vent outlet to

facilitate connection of a flexible vent-

ing pipe.

Before installation, ensure that the

machine is not connected to the

electrical supply.

Installation - venting

A short passage for the expelled air is

preferable to ensure the tumble dryer

functions as efficiently as possible. Ex-

pelled air is slowed down in the vent

duct by friction against the inner walls

of the duct. The shorter and smoother

the inner walls, the less friction occurs.

To calculate the effective duct

length:

Measure the actual duct length:

– Establish the number of elbows or

bends necessary, noting the type of

bend, angle and radius involved.

(Table I).

Additional duct length

– Add the additional length factor as

specified in Table I to the actual duct

length to give the effective duct

length.

An elbow or bend creates more friction

than a straight duct. An additional duct

length factor should therefore be calcu-

lated for each elbow or bend (see

Table I).

– The appropriate duct diameter can

then be taken from Table II.

Effective duct length

Note:

The additional length factor is added to

the actual duct length to give the effec-

tive duct length.

Drying times and energy consumption

remain unaltered for 100 mm diameter

ducting up to a total length of 10 m.

Longer ducting may lead to slight in-

creases in drying times and energy

consumption, but does not impair the

function of the machine if the necess-

ary duct diameter is used (Table II).

Duct diameter

A larger duct diameter also helps to re-

duce friction. The duct diameter should

therefore increase with increasing duct

length.

Installing several machines:

We recommend that when several ma-

chines are being installed each ma-

chine should be fitted with a non-return

flap (available from a good builders’

merchant). This will prevent odours

being transferred and the build up of

condensation in the machines which

are not in use.
