Disposal of packing

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 materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine/appliance

Old machines/appliances contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes. Ensure that the machine/appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See the appropriate advice in the "Warning and safety" instructions.

Please read the operating instructions before using the tumble dryer for the first time. They contain important information about the safety, use and maintenance of the machine. This will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owners of the machine.

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 dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.

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 frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this machine 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 important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested by a qualified electrician. 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 unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved engineer.
In the event of a fault, or for cleaning purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the plug is withdrawn, or
- it is switched off at the mains, or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.

For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable. There is a danger of overheating.
Faulty components must only be exchanged for Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

Use

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

• Do not install the machine in a room where the temperature may drop below freezing, as temperatures below zero could damage the machine.

Frozen condensed water in the pump, hose and condensed water container could also lead to damage.

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 people and animals.

Always close the door after use to avoid the danger of:

• someone leaning on the door which could cause the machine to tip;
• children climbing into the machine or hiding objects in it.

There is a danger of fire with fabrics which:

• contain rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials;
  have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents;
  have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar;
• also padded items (eg cushions, jackets) which have been damaged, as the padding could fall out and catch fire;
• are soiled with grease or oil.

Always keep the area around the machine free of dust and fluff.

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage 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, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

Disposing of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine, unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

Brief description

Programmes are selected by turning the programme selector and can be supplemented by pressing the additional option buttons.

Press the "START" button to begin a programme.

The indicator lights in the sequence display (on the right hand side of the control panel) show which stage has been reached in the programme.

The Sensitive system automatically adjusts drying to suit the water quality and ensure more precise results.

The Novotronic controls measure and register the conductivity of the water and compensate for variations to achieve a uniform residual moisture level.

The automatic reversing action turns the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise to loosen the laundry and prevent uneven drying, ensuring good results.

Once the required degree of dryness is achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool down.

At the end of the programme the anticrease action period begins. The drum turns intermittently to reduce the formation of creases and folds.

Programmable functions can be used to select or de-select some of the additional options and introduce further functions. These combinations can be stored in the machine's memory and called up.

Please read the sections on "Warning and safety" and "Notes on laundry care".

Switching the machine on and loading the laundry

• Switch on by pressing the "I-On/0-Off" button.
  Press the "Door" button to open the door.
  Place the laundry loosely in the drum.
  Close the door.

Selecting a programme
- Turn the programme selector to the drying level you require.
3 Selecting additional options
Press the buttons to switch additional options on or off as required.
Starting the programme
Press the "START" push button.

Before drying, check the drying symbol on the textile care label.

Significance of symbols:

= Dry at normal temperature
= Dry at low temperature (also push in the "Low temperature" button if required)
= Do not tumble dry

If no symbol is featured, dry at your own risk applying the following principles:

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.

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

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.

- Down-filled items*

The fine fabric interior tends to shrink, depending on the quality.

Pure linen*

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 otherwise "roughen".

• Linen and down-filled items can, however, be partially dried using the "Smoothing" programme.

Notes:

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 purchasing woven materials, it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

Starched washing can be dried in the tumble dryer. In order to achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.

Minimum iron fabrics and 100 % cotton shirts or blouses tend to crease more, when larger loads being dried, particul- 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 unsatisfactory use the “Smoothing” setting, then hang the garments on a hanger to dry.

New dark-coloured fabrics should be dried separately from light-coloured fabrics to avoid colours running.

Hints on saving energy

Make sure that your laundry has been thoroughly spun at the highest appropriate spin speed before drying. Spinning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves approximately 30% energy and time compared with 800 rpm.
- Load the full amount of laundry according 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.
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.

Switching on and loading

Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
- Do up zips and tie fabric belts and apron strings.
Press the "I-On / 0-Off" button.
Press the "Door" button and open the door.

Make sure there is no washing detergent dispenser among the laundry, as this could melt and damage the machine and the laundry.

• Load the laundry very loosely into the drum.

Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.

Close the door.

Important: Please check that items of laundry cannot be trapped by the door, as this will cause damage to the fabric.

2Selecting a programme

• Turn the programme selector to the programme required.

See the "Programme chart" for a description of each programme.

• Stand the condenser unit lengthwise on a towel until it is quite dry.
• Replace the condenser unit correctly (see illustration above left).
• Return both levers on the condenser unit to the horizontal position. Pull forwards on the unit to check that it is firmly in place.
• Replace the inner cover and check that it is also firmly in place, otherwise water may leak from the machine.
• Reposition the outer cover and push back into place.

What to do if ...

Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

What to do if ...	Cause ...	Remedy ...
... the tumble dryer fails to start when switched on	This may be due to an incorrect selection procedure sequence when switching on the machine.	Repeat the switch-on procedure (see section on “Drying correctly”). Also check the following: - Is the machine plugged in at the mains switch? - Is the door closed properly? - Was the “I-On/0-Off” button pushed in? - Was the “START” button pushed in? - Has the fuse or circuit breaker tripped? If so, contact the Miele Service Department.
... items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying		Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner for the final rinse in the washing machine.
... the laundry is not sufficiently dry	The load consists of different fabrics.	Select a more suitable drying programme next time.
... there is a build-up of fluff	Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and, as has been established by research institutes, has no effect on the lifetime of fabric.
... the drying process goes on too long.	Ventilation to and from the dryer is insufficient (eg in a small room). This could cause the room temperature to rise sharply.	Open a door or window while the machine is in operation for increased air flow.
	The vent below the door is blocked.	Remove any objects that are blocking the vent below the door.
	The dryer cannot blow air out correctly.	- Clean the fluff filters in the door and the door opening. - Clean the condenser unit.
	The laundry was not sufficiently spun.	Spin the laundry in the washing machine at the highest possible spin speed.
... water droplets appear at the upper edge of the drum aperture.	A double filter system with dual insulation prevents fluff from being deposited in the condenser unit. This insulation can lead to a build-up of condensation.	Laundry being removed from the machine may come into contact with these water droplets, but they will dry off in a matter of minutes.
... water leaks from the machine after the condenser unit has been cleaned.	The condenser unit has not been correctly locked into place.	Ensure that the condenser unit and cover are firmly in position and lock into place again.
... the interior drum lighting does not come on.	It only lights up when the machine is switched on. The bulb may be defective.	Change the bulb. See instructions at the end of this section.
... you need to open the door during a power cut.		See instructions at the end of this section.
Check and indicator lights
What to do if ...	Cause ...	Remedy ...
... the "Drying" indicator light flashes.	The programme selector was moved after the beginning of the programme, but the programme continues to run correctly.	Turn the programme selector back to its original position and the light will go out.
... the "Anti-crease/Finish" light flashes.	There could be a fault.	- Switch the machine off and on again. - Select the programme and press "START".
	Cold surrounding temperatures below freezing are affecting the machine (frozen condensed water).	- Install the appliance in a warmer room.
		If the light continues to flash there is a problem. Contact Miele Service Department.
... the "Empty out container" light comes on.	The condensed water container is full.	Empty the container. Check that the condensed water container is correctly positioned.
... the "Clean out airways" light comes on.	The fluff filters are blocked.	- Switch the dryer off with the "I-On/0-Off" button. - Clean the fluff filters after every use. (See "Cleaning and care").
	The condenser unit may be blocked because it has not been cleaned for a long time.	- Switch the dryer off with the "I-On/0-Off" button. - Please note that the condenser unit must be cleaned regularly (see "Cleaning and care").
... the programme is interrupted and the "Anti-crease/Finish" light comes on.	If there is no laundry in the drum when the programme is started, the electronics will register this and stop the programme. The programme will also be interrupted if the laundry placed in the drum is already dry.

The interior drum lighting does not come on: changing the bulb

Open the door.
Before changing the bulb, disconnect the machine from the mains power supply.
- Unscrew the plastic cover above the door inside the drum.

Replace the bulb.
The light bulb must not exceed the maximum wattage quoted on the data plate and the light cover.
- Replace the plastic cover and screw back on.

The cover must be fixed securely otherwise moisture may seep in and cause a short circuit.

The temperature resistant bulb should only be ordered from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Opening the door in the event of a power failure.

Repairs

In the event of any fault which you cannot remedy yourself, please contact:

• your Miele dealer
  or
• your nearest Miele Service Department (see back cover for the address).

When contacting the Service Department, please quote the model and serial numbers of your appliance, both of which are shown on the data plate which is located beneath the drum opening on the right.

Please note that telephone calls may be monitored and recorded to improve our service.

Future updates

The indicator or check light marked PC allows a service engineer to update your machine in future years.

If this machine is fitted with a non-re-wireable plug, the following information applies:

If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied with the product, it must be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.

The plug cut from the flexible cord should be disposed of and on no account be inserted into any socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier or Service agent.
