Warning and safety instructions  
Warning and safety instructions  
Please read the operating instruc-  
tions before using the tumble dryer  
for the first time. They contain im-  
portant information about the safety,  
use and maintenance of the  
machine. This will avoid the risk of  
accidents and damage to the ma-  
chine. Keep these operating in-  
structions in a safe place and en-  
sure that new users are familiar with  
the content. Pass them on to any fu-  
ture owners of the machine.  
Before connecting the machine, en-  
sure 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  
the appliance and an effective earthing  
system which complies with local and  
national regulations. It is most import-  
ant 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.  
Correct usage  
The tumble dryer is only intended  
for drying fabrics which have been  
washed in a water solution and are  
marked on the manufacturer’s wash  
care label as being suitable for tumble  
drying.  
Any other applications may be dan-  
gerous. The manufacturer is not liable  
for damage resulting from improper  
use or operation.  
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 respon-  
sibility. Repairs should only be under-  
taken by a Miele approved engineer.  
In the event of a fault, or for clean-  
ing purposes, the machine is only  
completely isolated from the electricity  
supply when:  
Do not let small children play with  
the machine and its controls or  
operate it. Please supervise its use by  
the elderly or infirm.  
– the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
Technical safety

cleaning agents;  
– have been splashed with hair lac-  
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover  
or similar;  
– also padded items (eg cushions,  
jackets) which have been damaged,  
as the padding could fall out and  
catch fire.  
If the water is drained externally  
through the drain hose instead of  
being collected in the condensed

Brief description  
When the machine is switched on, the  
indicator lights for all programmes will  
come on. Programmes are selected by  
pressing the appropriate button and  
can be supplemented by pressing the  
additional option buttons. The indicator  
lights show which programmes/options  
have been selected and the lights for  
the other programmes will go out.  
Please read the sections on “Warn-  
ing and safety” and “Notes on  
laundry care”.  
1 Switching the machine on and  
loading the laundry  
Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-  
Off” button.  
Press the “START” button to begin the  
programme.  
Press the “Door” button to open the  
door.  
The sequence indicator lights show  
which stage has been reached in the

Place the laundry loosely in the drum.  
Swing the door shut but do not slam  
it. Do not push on the door to shut it.  
The Sensitive system automatically ad-  
justs drying to suit the water quality  
and ensure more precise results.  
The Novotronic controls measure and  
register the conductivity of the water  
and compensate for variations to  
achieve a uniform residual moisture  
level.  
The automatic reversing action turns  
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise  
to loosen the laundry and prevent  
uneven drying, ensuring good results.  
2Selecting a programme  
Press the appropriate touch pad to  
select a programme.  
If selecting a timed drying pro-  
gramme, use the _ buttons to  
enter the drying time.  
3Selecting additional options  
Press the buttons to switch addi-  
tional options on or off as required.  
Once the required degree of dryness is  
achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool  
down.

Notes on laundry care  
Notes on laundry care  
Notes:  
Before drying, check the drying sym-  
bol on the textile care label.  
Some woven and loopknit materials  
(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)  
have a tendency to shrink, depending  
on their quality, and this is often made  
worse by over-drying. When purchas-  
ing woven materials, it is advisable to  
take their shrinkage properties into ac-  
count.  
Significance of symbols:  
q = Dry at normal temperature  
r = Dry at low temperature  
(also push in the “Low temperature”  
button if required)  
s = Do not tumble dry  
Starched washing can be dried in the  
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the  
usual finish, double the amount of  
starch should be used.  
t = Can be tumble dried  
If no symbol is featured, dry at your own  
risk applying the following principles:  
Cotton and minimum iron items should  
be dried in the appropriate programme  
(see programme charts).  
Minimum iron shirts or blouses in 100%  
cotton may crease badly, depending  
on the quality and weave. Try drying  
these items using the “Hand iron” set-  
ting but if this is unsatisfactory use the  
"Smoothing" setting, then hang the gar-  
ments on a hanger to dry.  
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select  
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low  
temperature" button.  
The following fabrics should not  
be dried in a tumble dryer:  
– Woollens and wool blends  
These fabrics tend to become matted  
and shrink. These fabrics can, how-  
ever, be partially dried using the  
“Woollens hand care” programme.  
– Down-filled items*  
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease  
more, the larger the drying load, particu-  
larly when the weave of the fabric is very  
fine. The load should be reduced to  
1.5 kg or, if necessary, to 1 kg.  
New dark-coloured fabrics should be  
dried separately from light-coloured  
fabrics to avoid colours running.  
The fine fabric interior tends to  
shrink, depending on the quality.  
– Pure linen*  
These items should only be ma-  
chine dried if specified as suitable  
by the manufacturer on the textile  
care label, as the surface of the fab-  
ric may otherwise “roughen”.  
* Linen and down-filled items can,  
however, be partially dried using  
the “Smoothing” programme.

Hints on saving energy  
Make sure there is no washing  
detergent dispenser among the  
laundry, as this could melt and dam-  
age the machine and the laundry.  
Make sure that your laundry has  
been thoroughly spun at the highest  
appropriate spin speed before  
drying. Spinning at 1600 rpm, for  
example, saves approximately 30%  
energy and time compared with 800  
rpm.  
Load the laundry very loosely into  
the drum.  
Do not overload the drum. Over-  
loading can cause unnecessary  
wear and tear to the laundry and  
give a disappointing drying result.  
Load the full amount of laundry ac-  
cording to the programme chosen  
(see “Programme chart”) for the  
most economical drying related to  
the size of the load. Make sure that  
the drum is not over- or under-  
loaded.  
Shut the door with a light swing but  
do not slam it. Do not push on the  
door to shut it.  
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:  
– the type of fibre or weave  
– the degree of drying required  
– similar size of items  
– the moisture content after spinning.  
This will help towards an even drying  
result.  
Ensure the room is well ventilated.  
1Switching on and loading  
Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent  
small items from being rolled up in-  
side them.  
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and  
apron strings.  
Important: Please check that items  
of laundry cannot be trapped by the  
door, as this will cause damage to  
the fabric.  
Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.  
Press the “Door” button and open  
the door.

Display  
Display  
Various pieces of information are  
shown in the display:  
- the length of time a programme still  
has to run (time left);  
- the length of programme selected  
for timed drying;  
- the number of hours selected for the  
delay start option;  
- programmable functions as they are  
switched on or off.  
Each load should ideally be made  
up of items of the same size. The  
time left will vary more if items are of  
very different sizes. In this case the  
time may stop counting down  
shortly before the end of the pro-  
gramme, (see the "Problem solving  
guide").  
Time left indicator  
Once a programme has started, the  
electronics calculate how long the pro-  
gramme will last and the following sym-  
-
bols: ===... ==... appear in the display.  
After approximately a minute the length  
of the programme will appear and a  
countdown in minutes will commence.  
The time left can vary with each pro-  
gramme because it is dependent on  
several factors:  
– the quantity, type and residual mois-  
ture of the various items in the load;  
– variations in electrical current;  
– the surrounding temperature.  
The time left should therefore only be  
regarded as an estimate. However, to  
make this estimate as precise as  
possible, the machine has intelligent  
electronics that are capable of “learn-  
ing”. During the first 10-15 programmes  
run in the machine, the electronics will  
monitor your individual laundry items  
and adapt accordingly.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff filters  
The fluff which is created by the drying  
process is collected in the fluff filters in  
the door and door opening.  
Clean the filters after every pro-  
gramme to reduce drying time and  
save energy.  
These filters should only be removed  
for cleaning with water.  
Dry the filters well after rinsing and  
put back in place.  
Cleaning the tumble dryer  
Disconnect the machine from the  
power supply.  
Open the door. Grip the filter by the  
recessed handle and pull upwards  
to remove.  
Remove the fluff from:  
– the filter in the door  
– the filters in the door opening  
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-  
jects.  
Remove any fluff from the hollow part  
of the door holder through the wide slit  
at the bottom. A cleaning brush is  
available at extra cost from the Miele  
Spare Parts Department.  
Clean . . .  
. . . the housing and control panel:  
with a mild detergent or soapy water;  
. . . the drum and other stainless  
steel parts: with a suitable proprie-  
tary stainless steel cleaner following  
the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Never use abrasive substances,  
scouring pads, glass or general pur-  
pose cleaners. These could damage  
plastic surfaces and other parts.  
The machine must never be hosed  
down.  
Push the cleaned filter back into the  
door holder and close the door.  
If there is a great deal of compacted fluff  
on the filters, they can be cleaned under  
hot running water.  
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

Cleaning and care  
Emptying the condensed  
water container  
If the hose drain has not been fitted  
and connected, the condensed water  
will be collected in the condensed  
water container.  
The condensed water container  
should be emptied after every  
drying cycle, or as soon as the  
“Empty out container” indicator light  
comes on.  
If . . .  
. . . the condensed water container is  
full when a programme is started or  
. . . it becomes full during a drying cycle:  
– the “Empty out container” light will  
come on,  
Slide back the cap and pour the  
water away.  
Push the container back into the ma-  
chine until it engages into place.  
– the buzzer will sound,  
– the programme will be stopped,  
– the washing will be cooled down and  
the “Cool air” light will come on.  
Condensed water should not be  
drunk. It could lead to health prob-  
lems for humans and animals.  
Condensed water can be put to house-  
hold use, eg used in a steam iron or hu-  
midifier.  
Note:  
To ensure that no particles of fluff are  
left which could damage the ap-  
pliance, pass the condensed water  
through a fine sieve or paper filter.  
Pull the container out of the machine,  
gripping it firmly with both hands.

= neutral  
= live  
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 suit-  
able 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 ap-  
proved to BS 1362 and have the cor-  
rect rating. Replacement fuse covers  
may be purchased from your local elec-  
trical supplier or Service agent.
