residential environments.
The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
~
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to dry items which
~
have been washed in a water solution and which are marked on the
manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. If
using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the
instructions provided on the packaging.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
incorrect or improper use or operation.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced
~
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are are supervised whilst using it or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble
~
dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use, clean or maintain the
~
tumble dryer without supervision if they have been shown how to do
so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
The tumble dryer is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not
~

7
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
~
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection
~
data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
~
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
~
an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
~
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure
current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
~
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
~
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
~
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless
~
authorised to do so by Miele.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
~
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer
and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
~
in this appliance:
– items which have not been washed.
– items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other
deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
these might self-ignite when heated, even after they have been
removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.
– items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items, ensure that you use
additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.
Remove all items such as lighters and matches from pockets.
~
Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying
~
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung
up or spread out to cool it down.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Danger.
~
This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device).
If the dryer programme were to be interrupted before the end of the
cooling down phase, the laundry could self-combust.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:
~
– items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g.
professional dry-cleaning agents).
– fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex
foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles
and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
– damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of
igniting in the dryer.
In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling
~
down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when
you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry
self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down
phase has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
~
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
~
tumble dryer to tip up.
Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the
~
danger of:
– children climbing into the dryer or hiding things in it.
– pets or other small animals climbing into it.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must not be used without the fluff filter in place
~
or if the fluff filter is damaged in any way.
The fluff filter must be cleaned regularly.
~
The dryer must not be used without vent ducting in place.
~
The dryer must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which
~
is in use.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
~
frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble
dryer may not be able to operate properly. The ambient room
temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C.
Check all parts of the extraction system on a regular basis (e.g.
~
wall vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure
they are all free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a
free flow of air through the system. If the dryer is to be connected to
an existing ducting system, this must be checked for suitability
beforehand.
The exhaust air must not be vented into a chimney or vent flue
~
which is in use, nor should it be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces. It would be dangerous if smoke or
exhaust fumes were drawn back into the room.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Adequate ventilation is essential to avoid the danger of
~
asphyxia and toxic fumes where another appliance which also
uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow
or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room.
To ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of
4 Pa is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by:
– air inlets in the external wall which cannot be closed or blocked,
or
– by fitting a window contact switch which ensures that the tumble
dryer can only be operated when the window is open.
To ensure safe operation of your dryer and to avoid an
underpressure of 4 Pa or more, please seek professional advice.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
~
fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
~
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
~
this tumble dryer.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee, performance and product
liability claims may be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

– Delay start
You can select a programme and set
it to start at a later time.
The programme will start
automatically once the delay start
time has a elapsed.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the dryer and adjust the
estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this, the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme.
– Programmable functions
Default settings can be altered to
adapt the dryer to different
requirements. See "Programmable
functions" at the end of this booklet
for more details.
Programmes can also finish earlier than
expected, if, for example, particularly
fine fabrics are being dried, the load is
very small or items were partially dry
beforehand.
Perfect Dry indicator
The Perfect Dry system measures the
residual content in the laundry in the
sensor drying programmes to ensure
perfect drying results.
After a programme has started, the
electronics will estimate the duration of
the programme (time remaining). The
Perfect Dry indicator will flash while this
is happening.
After a short while, the programme
duration will appear in the display and
the indicator will go out.

Do not iron
Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum
recommended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Never overload
the drum.
– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the larger the load. This is also
the case for garments made from
very fine weave fabrics, such as
shirts or blouses.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
If in doubt, divide the garments into
smaller loads.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin fabrics for at least
30 seconds before drying.
– 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 dryer.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– Use the Automatic plus programme
for drying mixed loads of cotton and
minimum iron fabrics.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be "fluffed up" using the Woollens
handcare programme.

Installation - venting
General
Avoid:
– very long ducting systems
Important
– too many bends or corners, tight
corners
Before operating the tumble dryer, a
suitable ducting system must be
installed to carry the moist air from
the dryer to the outside. This can be:
. . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic
piping connected to the dryer, or
. . . the dryer may be connected
directly to the wall vent.
Otherwise the drying result will be less
effective and it will take longer and use
more energy.
Suitable materials
– for the ventilation ducting:
flexible ducting* or plastic piping
with a diameter of at least 100 mm.
– Before installing the ducting system,
ensure that the appliance is not
connected to the power supply.
– for venting to the outside:
a wall pipe kit* or a window vent kit*.
– The ducting outlet (e.g. wall pipe)
should be installed in such a way
that the moist expelled air . . .
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
. . . cannot be drawn back into the
room in which the dryer is installed;
. . . cannot cause any damage to the
building or other nuisance.
Procedure
^ First measure the duct length
required. Calculate the effective duct
length and establish the internal duct
diameter required (use the tables on
the next page).
– The dryer uses the room air. It is
therefore essential to ensure
adequate ventilation to avoid the
danger of asphyxia caused by
gases given off by other appliances
being drawn back into the room.
Insufficient ventilation will also cause
drying times to be considerably
longer.
^ The longer the ducting, the larger the
internal diameter of the ducting
required.
^ Then decide which type of ducting
you want to use (see "Venting
systems" in this section).
Ventilation can be maintained by:
- an open window;
- an air inlet which cannot be
blocked in windows, doors and
outside wall vents;
- a window switch which prevents
the dryer being used when the
window is closed.

non-return flap or wall vent creates
more friction than a straight duct. The
friction created by each of these is
expressed as an additional duct
length factor. The additional length
factors are calculated by comparing
the friction created by, for example, an
elbow to that created by 1 metre of
straight plastic piping (Table I).

diameter should be increased (Table

b Plastic piping
Example
Plastic piping is a good option where
the vented air has to be ducted for
some distance. The smooth walls of
the pipe create less friction for the
vented air than the walls of a flexible
vent hose, for example. Time and
energy consumption are better with
plastic piping.
The following items are required:
– An adapter* (C 100 mm).
– A wall vent kit* or window vent kit*.
– Suitable piping (C 100 mm) is
available from your dealer or builders
merchants. Where the pipe diameter
is more than 100 mm, an adapter is
necessary (e.g. from C 100 to 125
mm) to connect the pipe to the dryer.
1. Wall vent kit
(Separate fitting instructions are
supplied with the Miele wall vent kit).
2. Adapter
3. Plastic piping, diameter DN 100
* Available as an optional accessory
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.

c Connect directly to a wall
vent
Side view:
The best method of venting the dryer
is to connect it directly to the outside
wall of a room. Time and energy
consumption are better with plastic
piping. This involves boring through
an outside wall.
A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gasket*
must be used
