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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine. Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine. Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match 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 it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer 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. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

To prevent the risk of fire the following textiles must not be dried in this machine: fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials. items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). items which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents. items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances. items which have been soiled with oils or residues containing grease (kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.). items soiled with wax or other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths). items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease or oil, e.g. workwear. Such clothing may require a heavy duty detergent to get them clean. If necessary consult the detergent manufacturer for advice. Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the machine to tip up. 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.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy. To avoid the risk of injury keep children away from the machine at all times and supervise them whilst you are using it. Do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

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.

^ 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.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply. ^ Clean the housing and control panel with a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent or soapy water. ^ The drum and other stainless steel parts can be cleaned with a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions.

General problems

Problem Possible cause The tumble dryer fails to No obvious cause. start when switched on. Remedy Have you followed the switch-on procedure correctly (see How to dry correctly)? Is the plug correctly inserted in the socket and switched on? Is the door closed properly? Has the fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner to the final rinse in the washing machine or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load in the dryer.

Items made of synthetic Synthetic fibres tend to fibres are charged with attract static charge. static electricity after drying.
Problem There is a build up of fluff. Possible cause Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and has been established by research institutes to have no appreciable effect on the lifetime of the garment. The load consisted of different fabrics. Remedy Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and can be easily removed (see "Cleaning and Care").
The laundry is not sufficiently dry.
The interior drum lighting does not come on.
The lighting switches off automatically (to save energy). The lamp needs changing.
Finish drying using "Warm air" (timed drying). Select a more suitable drying programme next time (see "Programme chart"). Switch the dryer off and then on again. Change the lamp as described at the end of this section.

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 "Pulling out 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 national and local safety regulations. 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. The voltage and connected load are given on the data plate. Please ensure these match the household mains supply. The fuse rating is quoted on the plug. 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.
