Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. 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! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

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. Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used (see Programme chart). Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated. Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer. Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.
Disposal 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. Please do not therefore dispose of your appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Notes on laundry care

Care symbols
Before drying check the drying symbol on the care label. If there are no symbols, dry at your own risk! q. Dry at normal temperature r. Dry at a low temperature s. Do not tumble dry For delicates and fabrics with the following care label r select Low temperature. 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 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. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme. Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account. Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton shirts or blouses tend to crease more, the greater the load. This is especially true of very fine weaves. Reduce the load or use the Minimum iron - Hand iron programme. Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used. 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 machine. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

Tips on drying

Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the "Programme chart". Never overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing. Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly after washing using the appropriate spin speed. Use the Automatic programme for drying mixed loads of cottons and minimum iron fabrics. Open jackets so that they can dry evenly. Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can, however, be partially dried using the Woollens hand care programme.

How to dry correctly

Brief instructions
The headings numbered (A, B, C.) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide to using your machine. A Sort the laundry To ensure an even drying result separate out the washed laundry and sort it according to:. the drying level required. the type of fibre or weave. size. the moisture content after spinning. Do not overload the drum. See the "Programme chart" for recommended loads for each programme. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result. ^ Before closing the door make sure the fluff filter is correctly positioned. C Load the tumble dryer ^ Press the Door button to open the door. ^ Load the laundry loosely into the drum.
,Make sure that objects e.g.
detergent dispensing balls have been removed from the laundry. They could melt, and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry. Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact. Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being trapped inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes etc. Tie fabric belts and apron strings. Sew in or remove underwiring from bras. B Turn on the tumble dryer ^ Switch the dryer on by pressing the I-On/0-Off button in. The tumble dryer may be switched on after loading, saving energy as the light will not come on.
Check the laundry is right inside the drum so that it cannot get trapped or damaged when the door is shut. ^ Shut the door either with a gentle swing, or lean against it and push it shut.

D Select a programme E Start the programme ^ Press the Start button. The indicator lamp for the Start button will then change from flashing to being on constantly. The drying cycle begins. Depending on the programme selected, the drying stage reached is shown by the sequence indicator lamps on the right hand side of the control panel. Before the end of a programme ^ Turn the programme selector to the required programme. Low temperature ^ For drying particularly sensitive fabrics (care symbol r) e.g. acrylics turn the programme selector to the Low temperature position. Because the heater rating is reduced for the Low temperature setting clothes dry more slowly thus lengthening drying times. The cooling down phase takes place before the end of a programme so that the garments are not too hot to handle (the Cool air indicator lamp will come on). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase is complete. At the end of a programme The Anti-crease/Finish indicator lamp comes on. The drum will continue to rotate at intervals to prevent laundry creasing, if you do not wish to remove it immediately. The anti-crease phase lasts for an hour. There is no anti-crease phase on the Woollens handcare programme. During the anti-crease phase. (depending on the programme selected) the indicator lamp for the drying stage reached will also light up. the buzzer will sound at intervals.
F Remove the laundry ^ Press the Door button. ^ Open the door. ^ Remove the laundry. Make sure that the drum is empty. If items are left in the dryer, they could be damaged by overdrying when the dryer is next used. ^ Switch the dryer off by pressing the l-On/0-Off button. ^ Clean the fluff filters. ^ Close the door. ^ Empty the condensed water container (where there is no external drainage of the water). ^ The condenser unit should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. ^ Switch the dryer on with the I-On/0-Off button. The programme will continue (only with the Cottons, Minimum iron and Automatic programmes). Other programmes: ^ Press the Start button. To cancel a programme ^ Turn the programme selector to Finish or open the door. Adding or removing laundry after a programme has started ^ Press the Door button. ^ Open the door.

Cleaning and care

Emptying the condensed water container
The condensed water will be collected in the condensed water container unless the machine has been fitted with a drain hose (see installation). The condensed water container should be emptied after every drying cycle or as soon as the Empty out container indicator lamp comes on. The drying programme will be interrupted if the maximum level of the condensed water container is reached. The Empty out container indicator lamp comes on and the buzzer sounds. ^ Open the shutter and empty out the water. ^ To replace the container hold it at a slight angle (as when removing it) and push it in gently until you feel it click into position. ^ Before starting a new programme, first switch the machine off and then on again. The Empty out container indicator lamp will go out. Condensed water should not be consumed. It could lead to health problems for people and animals. Condensed water can be put to household use (e.g. used in a steam iron or humidifier). To ensure that any residual particles of fluff in the condensed water are removed before use, pass it through a fine sieve or paper filter first.
^ Grip the container firmly with both hands, as shown, and pull it out slightly towards the right-hand side. ^ Hold the container with both hands and carry it in a horizontal position.
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected by the fluff filters in the door and the door opening. Clean the filters after each drying programme. Cleaning them whilst dry Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner. ^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part of the door holder. A cleaning brush is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department, or use a vacuum cleaner. ^ Once clean, push the filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way. ^ Also clean the door seal (2) with a damp cloth.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter (1) out of the door as illustrated. ^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff from the two fluff filters in the door opening. ^ Close the door.
^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff from the surface of the filter.
Cleaning them with water If there is a great deal of compacted fluff on any of the filters, they can be removed and cleaned under hot running water. ^ To remove the fluff filter from the door holder see previous page. ^ Place the filters back in the door opening (the left and right filters are identical) with the finger holders facing upwards. See illustration.

The interior drum lighting does not come on.
The lighting switches off automatically (to save energy). The lamp needs changing.

Installation site

If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid, a building under kit is not necessary. Otherwise the building under kit is essential.
,Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.
Transporting the machine to its installation site When moving the machine you can hold it by the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the dryer. To manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing case to its installation site you will also need to hold it by the front feet. Building under a continous worktop / in a row of kitchen units The dryer should not be installed next to a refrigerator or freezer. The warm air expelled from the rear of the dryer would increase the temperature around the refrigerator's/freezer's heat exchanger causing the compressor to run continuously. If it is not possible to install the dryer anywhere else, then the refrigerator/freezer must be sealed off from the dryer.
,The building under kit* must be
fitted by a suitably qualified person. The machine lid is replaced by a coverplate. It is essential that the coverplate is fitted to ensure electrical safety. The building under kit is supplied with its own installation instructions. N.B. When built under running times may be longer. The electrical socket must be located in an accessible position near the machine. With niche heights of: 840 mm, longer screw feet* are required. 870/885 mm - 915/930 mm, one or two height adjustment frames* are required. * Available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department. Replacing the lid If the lid has been removed in order to fit a cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is replaced, it fits securely into the rear holders. Otherwise, it is not properly secure for transport.
Levelling the machine Room in which the dryer is located Air taken in for use in the drying process will be warm when it is expelled from the rear of the dryer. This expelled air heats up the air in the room. It is therefore very important to ensure that the room is adequately ventilated, particularly if the dryer is located in a small room. Otherwise running times and energy consumption could be increased. Washer - dryer stack The machine must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation. The tumble dryer can also be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. To do this the appropriate stacking kit* (WTV) to match your washing machine is required. * Available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.

,Do not push the drain hose
back into the dryer. Doing this could cause it to become kinked and damaged in the dryer. ^ Remove the following from the back of the dryer at the bottom: Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it. ^ Loop the drain hose up. ^ Use a suitable cable tie to secure the looped hose to the back of the dryer, or simply lay the looped hose behind the dryer. ^ Attach the open end of the drain hose back onto the holder at the back of the dryer at the top (see holder 2 in "Setting up the drain hose").
^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2.

Electrical connection

Electrical connection U.K.
All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out. The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply. Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation. For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section 739). Do not connect via an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 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 fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
