Please read the operating instruc-tions before using the tumble dryerfor the first time. They contain impor-tant information about the safety, useand maintenance of the machine.This way you will avoid the risk ofaccidents and damage to the ma-chine.

Keep these operating instructions ina safe place and ensure that newusers are familiar with the content.Pass them on to any future owner ofthe machine.

Correct UseThe tumble dryer is only intendedfor drying fabrics which have been

washed in a water solution, marked onthe manufacturer’s wash care label asbeing suitable for tumble drying.Any other applications may be danger-ous. The manufacturer is not liable fordamage resulting from improper use oroperation.

Do not let small children play with themachine or its controls. Supervise itsuse by the elderly or infirm.

Technical SafetyBefore setting up the machinecheck it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install or use a dam-aged machine.

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.

The electrical safety of this ma-chine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete betweenthe appliance and an effective earthingsystem which complies with local andnational regulations. It is most importantthat this basic safety requirement isregularly tested by a qualifiedelectrican.

The manufacturer cannot be held re-sponsible for the consequences of aninadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-tric shock).

Do not connect the machine to themains electricity supply by an ex-

tension lead. Extension leads do notguarantee the required safety of themachine (e.g. danger or overheating).

The machine is built in accordancewith current safety requirements.

Unauthorized repairs could result in un-foreseen dangers for the user, for whichthe manufacturer cannot accept re-sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-dertaken by a Miele approved engi-neer.

Faulty components must only beexchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fittedcan the safety standards of the ma-chine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety Instructions

4

In the event of a fault or for clean-ing purposes, the machine is only

completely isolated from the electricitysupply either when:

– it is switched off at the mains or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Adequate ventilation is essential,especially where another appli-

ance which also uses the room air (e.g.gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuousflow or other water heater), is installedin the same or an adjacent room. To en-sure safe operation, and to preventgases being given off by these appli-ances being drawn back into the room,an underpressure of 4 Pa is the maxi-mum permissible. Ventilation can bemaintained by air inlets which cannotbe blocked, in windows, doors and out-side wall vents, or by an automatic win-dow opening arrangement when thetumble dryer is switched on.If in any doubt, the advice of a compe-tent builder, or for gas, a "Corgi" regis-tered installer (in the UK) must besought.

Vented dryers must be installedwith a suitable venting system. If

the machine is not correctly ducted itwill draw damp exhaust air back intothe drum, increasing running time andenergy consumption quite consider-ably. If moist air is passed back into theroom this may lead to long-term dam-age of walls.

The exhaust air must not be ventedinto a chimney or vent flue which is

in use. Neither should it be connectedto ducting which ventilates rooms withfireplaces. It would be dangerous ifsmoke or exhaust fumes were drawnback into the room.

Always close the door after use.This way you will avoid the danger

of:

– anyone sitting or leaning on the door,which can cause the machine to tipup.

– children climbing onto or into thedryer or hiding things in it.

Do not install the machine in aroom where the temperature may

drop below freezing. At very cold tem-peratures the machine may be difficultto start. Laundry will not dry, and thesequence indicator light ~ rAnticrease/End will flash to indicate aproblem.


5

There is a danger of fire with fab-rics which:

– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-ber like materials

– have been treated with inflammablecleaning agents

– have been splashed with hair lac-quer, hair spray, nail varnish removeror similar substances

– which contain padding or fillings(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these weredamaged the filling could get outwith the risk of igniting in the dryer.

Avoid contact of stainless steel sur-faces (front, lid, casing) with liquid

cleaning and disinfecting agents whichcontain chlorine or sodiumhypochlorite. These agents can have acorrosive effect on stainless steel. Ag-gressive vapours containing chlorinebleach can also be corrosive. Do notstore open containers or these agentsnear the machine.

Using AccessoriesAccessory parts may only be fittedwhen expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee, per-formance and product liability claimsmay be invalidated.

Disposal of your Old MachineBefore discarding an old machineunplug it and render the plug use-

less. Cut off the cable directly behindthe appliance to prevent misuse.

Disposal of the PackingMaterialThe transport and protective packinghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly for disposaland can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these materi-als away, please ensure they are of-fered for recycling.

Disposal of Your Old MachineOld machines contain materials whichcan be reclaimed or recycled. Pleasecontact your dealer, your local wastecollection centre or scrap merchantabout potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the machine presents nodanger to children while being storedfor disposal.

Energy Saving Tips^ Make sure that your laundry is thor-

oughly spun before drying. You willsave up to 30% energy and time iflaundry is spun at 1200 rpm insteadof at 600 rpm.

^ Load according to the optimumamount of washing recommended forthe program being used.Underloading is uneconomical. Over-loading gives a poorer quality of dry-ing and may cause unnecessarycreasing.

^ To save energy and time:

– make sure the room in which thedryer is located is well ventilated.

– Make sure the lint filter is clean be-fore using the dryer.

^ The vent ducting should be as short,straight and smooth as possible. Ex-pelled air is slowed down in the ventduct due to friction against the innerwalls of the ducting, therefore theshorter the duct and the smoother theinner walls, the less friction occurswhich in turns saves drying time andenergy costs.

Wash Care Labels

Before drying check the dryingsymbol on the wash care label.

Significance of symbols:

q= Dry at normal temperature

r= Dry at low temperature

s= Do not tumble dry

If no symbol is featured dry at your ownrisk applying the following principles:

Cottons and minimum iron itemsshould be dried at a normal tempera-ture using the appropriate programsetting.

Delicate fabrics with the followingwash care label r, e.g. acrylics shouldbe dried at a low temperature.

The following fabrics shouldnot be dried in a tumble dryer:Woollens and wool blendsthese fabrics tend to become mattedand shrink.

Items filled with downthe fine fabric interior tends to shrink,depending on the quality involved.

Pure linenshould only be machine dried if speci-fied as suitable by the manufacturer onthe wash care label, as the surface ofthe fabric may otherwise tend toroughen.

General NotesWoven and loopkit materials (e.g.t -shirts, knitted garments) tend toshrink to varying extents depending ontheir quality. This tendency is exagger-ated by over-drying. When purchasingwoven materials, it is advisable to taketheir shrinkage properties into account.

Starched laundry can be dried in thetumble dryer. To achieve the usual fin-ish, double the amount of starch shouldbe used.

Minimum iron fabrics should be spunbriefly at the end of their washprogram, or spun for 10 to 30 sec-onds if hand washed before they aredried. Some fabrics tend to crease ifoverdried. These items should be givenonly a short period in the dryer, andtaken out slightly damp. Do not use theB Minimum iron - G Normal+program for these fabrics.

Minimum iron shirts in 100% cottonmay crease during tumble drying de-pending on the quality of the weave.These should be dried using the Handiron I setting. In extreme cases dripdry on a coat hanger.

Minimum iron fabrics tend to creasemore the greater the load. This isparticulary the case with delicate fab-rics.The load should be reduced to 2 kg orif necessary to 1.5 kg.

New dark coloured garments shouldbe dried separately from light colouredgarments to avoid the danger ofcolours running.

Prepare the Laundry^ As far as possible, sort laundry for:

– the type of fibre or weave

– the degree of dryness required

– similar size of items

– the moisture content after spinning.

This will help towards achieving aneven drying result.

^ Fasten duvet covers etc. to preventsmall items from being rolled up in-side them.

^ Do up zippers and tie fabric belts andapron strings.

Make sure there is no detergent dis-penser ball etc. in with the laundry,as this could melt and damage themachine and the laundry.

Load the Drum^ Press the door button a and open

the door.

^ Load the laundry loosely into thedrum.

Do not overload the drum. Over-loading can cause unnecessarywear and tear to the laundry andgive a disappointing drying result.

See the program chart for maximumloads.

^ Before closing the door check thatthe lint filter is correctly positioned.

Important: Please check that itemsof laundry cannot be trapped by thedoor, as this will cause damage tothe fabric.

^ Shut the door with a firm swing.

How to Dry Correctly

13

Select a program^ Turn the program selector to the

program required.

^ Select low temperature L if required.

If the machine is fitted with a coinmechanism / time counter:

^ Insert coins or tokens.

Remember to empty the coin / tokenbox regularly, so that it does not be-come blocked.

For further information on operating thedryer with a coin mechanism / timecounter see "Installation".

Start a program^ Press the Start h button.

At the end of a program^ Turn the program selector to the

r End position.

^ Press the door a button to open thedoor.

^ Press the Light n button.

^ Remove the laundry from the dryer.

Make sure that the drum is empty.If items are left in the dryer, theycould be damaged by overdryingwhen the dryer is next used.

If laundry is not taken out of the dryer atthe end of the program the dryer willcommence an anti-crease phase, dur-ing which the drum rotates at timed in-tervals to keep the laundry suspendedand reduce the risk of creasing.

^ To save both energy and operationtime the fluff filter in the door shouldbe cleaned after every program(see "Cleaning and Care").

^ Shut the door when you have fin-ished. As a safety precaution do notleave the door open when not in use.

How to dry correctly

14

To cancel a program^ Turn the program selector switch

to the r End position.

For safety reasons all programeswhere the residual moisture content ismonitored have a maximum runningtime of 130 minutes, after which periodthe heater elements are switched offand the cooling down phase com-mences.

Adding or removing items^ Press the door a button to open the

door.

If the door is opened during drying theprogram will have to be startedagain. Take out or add items as re-quired.

^ Close the door.

^ Press the Start h button.

The program selected will then con-tinue from the point it was at when thedoor was opened.

The program is not continued

– if there is a power failure lasting morethan 30 minutes

– if the program has alreadyreached the ä cooling downphase or the ~ r Anti-creasestage.

To select a differentprogram during drying^ Turn the program selector to the

required program.

The new program starts from the be-ginning.

Changing a program

15

Cleaning the Lint Filters

The lint which occurs during dryingis collected in the lint filters in thedoor and in the door opening.Clean the filters after everyprogram to reduce drying timeand save energy.

^ Open the door and pull the lint filterup out of the door holder.

^ Remove the lint from:

– the filter in the door

– the filters in the door opening(do not use sharp or pointed ob-jects.).

^ Remove any lint from the hollow partof the door holder through the wideslit at the bottom.

A cleaning brush is available at extracost from the Miele Spare Parts De-partment.

^ Push the cleaned filter back into thedoor holder and close the door.

If there is a great deal of compactedlint on the filters, they can becleaned under hot running water.

^ The filter in the door opening shouldonly be removed for cleaning withwater (see illustration for instructionson how to remove it).

^ After cleaning shake any excess wa-ter off the filters.

^ Dry them carefully and thoroughly.

^ Replace the filters in the door open-ing.

^ Replace the filter in the door, ensur-ing it is fitted the correct way round inits holder.

Cleaning and Care

16

Casing and Drum

Disconnect the machine from themains electricity supply.

Avoid contact of stainless steel sur-faces (front, lid, casing) with liquidcleaning and disinfecting agentswhich contain chlorine or sodiumhypochlorite. These agents canhave a corrosive effect on stainlesssteel. Aggressive vapours contain-ing chlorine bleach can also be cor-rosive. Do not store open containersor these agents near the machine.

^ Clean the housing and control panelwith a mild detergent or soapy water.

^ Clean the drum and other stainlesssteel parts with a suitable proprietarystainless steel cleaner following themanufacturer’s instructions.

Never use abrasive substances, dis-infecting agents or solvents. Thesecould damage the machine becauseof their chemical content. The ma-chine must never be hosed down.

^ Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

Cleaning and Care

17

What to do if . . . ?With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of themachine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put rightwithout contacting the Service Department.

Repairs to the machine should only be undertaken by a suitably qualifiedservice engineer to ensure safety. Unauthorized repairs could be dangerous.

Fault Possible Cause Remedy

The machine fails tostart when switched on.

No obvious cause. Check that

– the door is properlyshut.

– the machine isswitched on at themains and the fuse isnot defective.

The progam hasbeen interrupted.

The load was too small orconsisted of individualitems which caused theprogram to finish pre-maturely.

– Dry small amounts oflaundry using theTimed Drying C

program.

Laundry is not suffi-ciently dried.

The load consisted of toomany types and thick-nesses of fabric.

– Select a more suitableprogram next time(see "Program Over-view")


18


Drying times aretoo long.

The lint filtersmight be clogged up.

– Clean as described in"Cleaning and Care".

Ventilation to and fromthe dryer is insufficient(e.g. in a small room).

– Open a door or window whilethe machine is operating toincrease air flow.

The ventilation ducting orroom ventilation (e.g.window or wall ventsare blocked).

– Remove any objects that arecausing the blockage.

The laundry was not suf-ficiently spun.

– Spin the laundry in the wash-ing machine at the highestpossible speed.

Metallic components e.g.zippers have preventedthe dryer from registeringthe correct moisture levelin the laundry.

– Complete the drying processusing a Timed Dryingprogam.

If after checking all the above, drying times are still toolong, there may be a fault. Contact the Service Dept.

The heater limiter hasautomatically switchedoff one or moreheater elements.

– Contact the Service Dept.


19


There is a build up oflint.

Lint comes off textiles nat-urally during wearing andwashing. The lint that col-lects in the filters of a tum-ble dryer has no effect onthe lifetime of your laundry.

– Remove any lint fromthe lint filter (see"Cleaning and Care").

Items made of syn-thetic fibres arecharged with staticelectricity after drying.

– Static charges can bereduced by adding liq-uid fabric conditionerto the final rinse of thewash program.

The interior drum light-ing does not come onwhen the n buttonis pressed.

The lamp is defective. – Change the lamp asdescribed on the nextpage.


20

To Change the Lamp


^ Open the door.

^ Unscrew the plastic cover inside thedrum, above the door.

The lamp must not exceed the maxi-mum wattage quoted on the dataplate and on the plastic light cover.

The temperature resistant lamp shouldbe ordered from your Miele Dealer orthe Miele Spare Parts Department only.

^ Replace the lamp and screw theplastic cover back on.

The cover must be fixed securely, asotherwise moisture may seep in andcause a short circuit.

To open the door during apower failure

^ Pull the door open.


21

ServiceIn the event of any faults which cannotbe remedied, or if the machine is underwarranty, please contact

– Your Miele Dealer or

– The nearest Miele ServiceDepartment (see back cover foraddress)

Leveling the Machine

The machine must be perfectly level toensure safe and proper installation.

^ The screw feet can be adjusted tocompensate for any unevenness inthe floor.

Take into consideration the space re-quired by the vent duct when calculat-ing the distance between the machineand a wall or other appliances etc. tothe sides or rear of the machine.

A ventilation gap of 10 mm must bemaintained between the base of themachine and the floor. This must notbe blocked by sealing strips, deeppile carpet etc., as otherwise therewill be insufficient flow of cool air forthe machine to function correctly.

The machine must not be built un-der.

Coin mechanism / TimecounterThis dryer can be fitted with a coinmechanism.*

It can also be connected to an existingtime counter using a special connectioncable*.

Do not use devices to turn the machineoff automatically, (e.g. automatic tim-ers).

The tumble dryer can be combined witha Miele washing machine in awasher-dryer stack. For this purposethe appropriate stacking kit * is re-quired.

* These items are all available from yourMiele Dealer or the Miele ProfessionalSales Dept.

Installation

25

Fitting the Exhaust DuctingThe moist air produced during dryinghas to be vented to the outside.

The dryer must only be operatedwhen it is correctly fitted with ex-haust ducting.

The exhaust connection may bemade:

– to the rear of the machine (the ma-chine is supplied as standard withthis connection point open) or

– to the left of the machine.

The side exhaust connection has acover cap.

Exhaust Connection to the Sideof the Machine


^ Remove the cover cap.

^ Insert a thin screwdriver into the sliton the retaining hook and press thehook gently upwards.

^ At the same time turn the cover capanti-clockwise.

Vent Socket

^ In the same way remove the ventsocket from the rear vent outlet.

^ Secure into the side outlet by turningclockwise.

^ Close the rear outlet with the covercap.

Avoid:

– very long exhaust systems

– too many corners

– tight corners.

These reduce efficiency and increasetime and energy consumption.

Installation - Venting

26

The following materials are suitablefor the exhaust ducting:

– galvanized steel

– plastic ducting

– flexible ducting.

Note that all ducting must be of asuitable heat resistant specification.

Install the exhaust ducting so thatthe expelled exhaust air cannot besucked into the machine again.

Standard accessories include anadapter for the exhaust ducting:

Application:

In installations where conditions do notallow the machine to be permanentlyconnected to a ducting system.

Purpose:

The adapter enables rapid, simple con-nection or disconnection of the exhaustducting.

Installation:

The adapter is fitted to the non-con-nected end of the vent duct.

ImportantConnection must not be made to aflue used by gas or solid fuel boilersor heaters.


27

Calculating the Duct LengthThe shortest passage for the expelledair is preferable, to ensure the tumbledryer functions most efficiently. Ex-pelled air is slowed down in the ventduct due to friction against the innerwalls of the duct, therefore the shorterthe duct and the smoother the innerwalls, the less friction occurs.

An elbow or bend creates more frictionthan a straight duct. An additional ductlength factor should therefore be calcu-lated for each elbow or bend (see Table1). This factor expresses the resistanceof the bend in terms of a straight lengthof duct.

The additional length factor is thenadded to the actual duct length to givethe effective total duct length.

A larger duct diameter also helps to re-duce friction. The duct diameter shouldtherefore increase with increasing ductlength.

To calculate the effective duct length:

^ Measure the actual duct length.

^ Establish the number of elbows orbends necessary, noting the type ofbend, angle and radius involved (seeTable I).

^ Add the additional length factor asspecified in Table I to the actual ductlength to give the effective ductlength.

^ The appropriate duct length can thenbe taken from Table II.

NoteDrying times and energy consumptionremain unaltered for Ø100 mm ductingup to a total length of 15 metres. Lon-ger ducting may lead to slight in-creases in drying times and energyconsumption, but does not impair thefunction of the machine, if the neces-sary duct diameter is adhered to (seeTable II).

Flexible ducting has been used for thefollowing example. See Table I for addi-tional duct length factors for other typesof ducting.

Example:

Side connection . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.00 mLength (L) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 mLower radius R = 400 mm . . . . . 0.50 mHeight (H) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,00 mUpper radius R = 200 mm . . . . . 0.50 mWall duct withlouvred vent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.60 m

10.10 m

Result:

A duct diameter of 100 mm is ade-quate, since the overall length is lessthan the 15 metres specified in Table II.
