Warning and Safety instructions
the appliance and an effective earthing
Read the operating instructions
carefully before using this appliance
for the first time. They contain impor-
tant information about the safety, use
and maintenance of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the appli-
ance.
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
Keep these operating 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.
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an ex-
tension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger or overheating).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-
foreseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept re-
sponsibility. Repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele approved engi-
neer.
Correct use
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, marked on
the manufacturer’s wash care label as
being suitable for tumble drying.
Any other applications may be danger-
ous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma-
chine be guaranteed.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install or use a dam-
aged machine.
If the appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical por-
table outlet device the cord extension
set or electrical portable outlet device
should be positioned so it is not subject
to splashing or ingress of moisture.
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 between

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.
In the event of a fault or for clean-
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
Adequate ventilation is essential,
especially where another appli-
ance which also uses the room air (eg
gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous
flow or other water heater) is installed in
the same or an adjacent room. To en-
sure safe operation, and to prevent
gases given off by these appliances
being drawn back into the room, an
underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maxi-
mum permissible. Ventilation can be
maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, in windows, doors and out-
side wall vents, or by an automatic win-
dow opening arrangement when the
tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,
the advice of a competent builder, or
for gas, a gas fitter must be sought.
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Operation
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 assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
The exhaust air must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is
in use, nor should it be connnected to
ducting which ventilates rooms with fire-
places. It would be dangerous if smoke
or exhaust fumes were drawn back into
the room.
Do not let small children play with
the machine or its controls. Super-
vise its use by the elderly or infirm.
This dryer must not be:
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop down to or below freezing. At very
cold temperatures the machine may be
difficult to start.
– connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use.
– used without exhaust ducting.
– used without the fluff filter in place or
if the fluff filter is damaged in any
way.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff.
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

Warning and Safety instructions
Always close the door after use.
This way you will avoid the danger
To minimize the risk of fire in a
tumble dryer, the following
should be observed:
of:
– anyone sitting or leaning on the door, – Items that have been spotted or
which can cause the machine to tip
up,
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should
not be placed in a tumble dryer.
– children climbing onto or into the
dryer or hiding things in it.
Oil-affected items can ignite sponta-
neously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a tumble
dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the
oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can be-
come hot enough to catch fire.
Pilling, stacking or storing oil-af-
fected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire haz-
ard.
There is danger of fire with fabrics
which:
– contain a large proportion of rubber,
foam rubber or rubber like materials.
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents.
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover
or similar substances.
– which contain padding or fillings
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were
damaged the filling could leak with
the risk of igniting in the dryer.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer
they should first be washed in hot
water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The "cool down" cycle of tumble dry-
ers should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the tum-
ble dryer or piled or stacked while
hot.
– are soiled with oil or grease.
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to keep-
ing the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

If other parts are used, guarantee, per-
formance and product liability claims
may be invalidated.
– Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly tex-
tured rubber like materials should not
be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat
setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
– Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static elec-
tricity unless this practice is specifi-
cally recommended by the manufac-
turer of the fabric softener or
product.
– Undergarments that contain metal re-
inforcements should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can re-
sult if metal reinforcements come
loose during drying. When available
a drying rack could be used for such
items.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Energy saving tips
^ Make sure that your laundry is thor-
oughly spun before drying.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
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!
^ Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
"Programme chart").
Rather than just throwing these materi-
als away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
Disposal of your old appliance
^ To avoid unecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of en-
ergy:
Old machines contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-
fore using the dryer.
Before discarding an old machine un-
plug it and render the plug useless. Cut
off the cable directly behind the appli-
ance to prevent misuse. This should be
done by a competent person.
– Check all parts of the ventilation sys-
tem on a regular basis and remove
any build up of fluff etc.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
^ The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.
This helps to reduce running times
and energy consumption levels.

Notes on laundry care
Wash care labels
Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the wash care label,
as the surface of the fabric may other-
wise "roughen". These items can be
partially dried using the "Smoothing"
programme.
Before drying check the drying sym-
bol on the wash care label.
Significance of symbols:
q Dry at normal temperature
r Dry at low temperature
sDo not tumble dry
Woven and loopknit materials (e.g.
T-shirts, knitted garments) have a ten-
dency to shrink, depending on their
quality and this is made worse by
over-drying. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
If no symbol is featured, dry at your
own risk applying the following princi-
ples:
Cotton and minimum iron items should
be dried using the appropriate
programme for the degree of drying re-
quired. See programme chart.
Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,
the larger the load being dried,
For delicates and fabrics with the fol-
lowing wash care label r you can also
select the Low temperature option.
particulary when the weave of the fab-
ric 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.
Never overload the drum. Always
observe the maximum recom-
mended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Overloading can
cause unnecessary wear and tear to
the laundry, give a disappointing
drying result and cause more creas-
ing.
Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
New dark coloured garments should be
dried separately from light coloured
garments to avoid the danger of col-
ours running.
Tips on drying
Woollens and wool blends tend to be-
come matted and shrink if dried in a
tumble dryer. They can, however, be
partially dried using the Woollens hand
care programme.
Items filled with down.
The fine fabric interior of these items
may shrink depending on the quality.
These items can be partially dried us-
ing the Smoothing programme.

How to dry correctly
Prepare the laundry
Do not overload the drum. Over-
loading can cause unecessary wear
and tear to the laundry and give a
disappointing drying result.
^ 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 an
even drying result.
See the "Programme chart" for maxi-
mum recommended loads.
^ Before closing the door check that
the fluff filter is correctly positioned in
the door.
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being rolled up inside
them.
Do up zips, hooks and eyes etc.
Tie fabric belts, apron strings.
Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
Make sure there is no detergent dis-
penser ball etc. in with the laundry,
as this could melt and damage the
machine and the laundry.
Load the drum
and switch on the dryer
When closing the door make sure
items of laundry cannot be trapped
by the door, as this will cause dam-
age to the laundry.
^ Press the door button and open the
door.
^ Load the laundry loosely into the
drum.
^ Shut the door either with a gentle
swing or lean against it and push it
shut.
^ Switch the dryer on by pressing the
"l-On/0-Off" button.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filter
A cleaning brush is available as an
optional extra from your Miele dealer
or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
The fluff which is created by the dry-
ing process is collected in the fluff fil-
ter in the door. Clean the filter after
every drying cycle.
You can also use a vacuum cleaner.
^ Once clean, push the filter back into
the door holder until it clicks into po-
sition. Ensure it is facing the correct
way. Close the door.
If there is a great deal of compacted
fluff on the filter, it can be cleaned
under hot running water.
^ After cleaning shake thoroughly until
no more water droplets are visible.
^ Dry the filter carefully.
^ Push the filter back into the door
holder until it clicks into position.
Make sure it is the right way round.
^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter
out of the door as illustrated.
Tumble dryer
Disconnect the machine from the
power supply.
^ Clean the housing and control panel
with a mild cleaning agent or soapy
water. Clean the drum and other
stainless steel parts with a suitable
proprietary stainless steel cleaner fol-
lowing the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents,
solvents, scouring pads, glass or
general purpose cleaners. These
could damage plastic surfaces and
other parts. The machine must never
be hosed down.
^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff
from the surface of the filter.
^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part
of the door holder.

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 in-
stallation site you will also need to hold
it by the front feet.
Aligning the machine
^ The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.
A ventilation gap of at least 10 mm
must be maintained between the
bottom of the machine and the floor.
It must not be blocked by deep pile
carpets, plinths, etc, which would
prevent a sufficient intake of cold air.
The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.

Installation - venting
General
Avoid:
– very long venting systems
Important
– too many bends or corners; tight cor-
ners.
Before operating the appliance, a
suitable venting system must be in-
stalled to carry the moist air from the
dryer to the outside.
Otherwise the drying result will not be
as good and drying will take longer and
use more energy.
– Before installing the ducting system,
ensure that the appliance is not con-
nected to the power supply.
Suitable materials for venting
pipework:
– flexible vent hose*, plastic piping,
galvanised steel piping (with a diam-
eter of at least 100 mm).
– The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall)
should be installed in such a way
that the moist expelled air . .
. . . cannot be drawn back into the
room in which the dryer is installed;
. . . cannot cause a nuisance or any
damage to the building.
– for venting directly outside:
a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*.
*These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from build-
ers’ merchants.
– Adequate ventilation is essential as
the dryer uses the room air. Ventila-
tion can be maintained by:
- an open window;
Procedure:
^ First measure the duct length re-
quired. Calculate the effective duct
length and establish the internal duct
diameter required (use the tables on
the following pages).
Longer ducting will require a larger
duct diameter.
- 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 win-
dow is closed.
^ Finally decide which venting system
you are going to install (see "Venting
systems" in this section).

Installation - venting
Calculating the effective duct
length:
duct diameter should be increased (Ta-
ble II).
Friction against the inner walls of the
vent duct will slow down the expelled
air as it passes through the duct. An el-
bow, bend, 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
length factor. The additional length
factors are calculated by comparing
the friction created by, for example, an
elbow to that created by 1 meter of
straight plastic piping (Table I).
1. To calculate the effective duct
length:
^ First measure the distance which will
require straight ducting. Multiply this
amount by the corresponding addi-
tional duct length factor in Table I.
^ Establish the number of angles,
bends etc. necessary and add their
additional duct length factors to-
gether with the help of Table I.
^ Add all the additional duct length fac-
tors together to give the effective
duct length.
The additional duct length factor for
each item needs to be added together
to ascertain the effective duct length
which will be needed for the venting
system.
2. Internal duct diameter
^ Refer to Table II for the appropriate
duct diameter for the effective duct
length.
A larger internal duct diameter also
helps reduce friction. If the effective
duct length is more than 20 m the

The best method of venting the dryer
is to connect it directly to the outside
wall of a room. However, it is neces-
sary to insert the wall vent right
through the wall.
Because the vented air is blown di-
rectly outside, and has only a short
distance to go, this system is very ef-
ficient in terms of time and energy
consumption.

should be fitted with one non-return flap
installed directly on the main venting
duct (R, upper picture). Extra Miele
equipment is required for this purpose.
