IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to per-

sons when using your appliance, fol-

low basic precautions, including the

following:

1. For your own safety and for the pro-

tection of your machine read

these operating instructions care-

fully before using your dryer for

the first time.

2. Remember to remove the door

when disposing of an old machine

to prevent children from acciden-

tly locking themselves in.

3. Do not install or store this ap-

pliance where it will be exposed

to the weather.

4. Do not install your dryer in rooms

where freezing temperatures may

occur. The reliability of the elec-

tronic control system may be im-

paired.

5. This machine should only be used

for drying the following fabrics:

– Items which can be machine

dried as specified by the laundry

care label.

– Items which have been washed in

water.

6. The following fabrics pose a fire ha-

zard:

– Items which contain foam rubber,

rubber or rubberlike components.

– Items which have been treated

with flammable cleaning agents,

such as gasoline or dry-cleaning

solvents.

– Items containing, hairspray, nail

polish remover or similar sub-

stances.

7. Fabric softener sheets are not rec-

ommended for use in the tumble

dryer. Best results occur when a

liquid softener is used in the wash-

ing machine.

. Clean the lint filter before and after

each load.

9. Do not dry articles that have been

previously cleaned, washed,

soaked in, or spotted with ga-

soline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive sub-

stances. They give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

10.Do not allow children to play on or

in the appliance. Close supervi-

sion is necessary when the ap-

pliance is used near children.

11.Always close the door after use to

prevent children from leaning on

the door and causing the dryer to

tilt.

12.Keep the area around the air in-

take (toekick) and adjacent sur-

rounding areas free from lint, dust

and dirt.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13.The interior of the machine and ex-

haust duct should be cleaned peri-

odically by qualified personnel.

14.Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

15.Do not tamper with the controls.

16.Do not repair or replace any part

of the appliance or attempt any

servicing unless specifically rec-

ommended in this Operations Ma-

nual.

Repairs to electrical appliances

should only be peroformed by

qualified personnel.

Incorrectly repaired machines

may pose a considerable risk to

the user.

17 Lint is principally the result of fric-

tion caused by items being worn

and washed. Machine drying

causes insignificant amounts of

lint to form and, as has been es-

tablished by research institutes,

has no detrimental effect on the

lifetime of fabrics.

1 .Do not place items exposed to

oils in your dryer. Items contaimed

with oils may contribute to a

chemical reactionthat could

cause a load to catchfire.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For grounding and electrical

connection instructions,

refer to the electrical connec-

tion section.

This dryer is only intended for

residential use!

Your contribution to the environment

Disposal of the packing ma-

terial.

The transport and protective packing is

mostly manufactured from the following

recycled or re-useable materials:

– corrugated paper/cardboard

– polystyrene - CFC-free

– polyethylene foil (transparent)

– untreated wood

– fiber board

Please check local environmental regu-

lations before disposing of packing ma-

terials and discarding the appliance.

Disposal of your old machine.

Old machines contain materials which

can be recycled. Please contact your

recycling center or scrap merchant

and render the machine inoperative as

per the “Important Safety Instructions”

before disposing of the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Loading the machine Unloading the machine

WARNING - To reduce the risk

of fire, electric shock, or injury

to persons,read the IMPORT-

ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

before operating this appliance.

Load the laundry loosely into the

drum.

Duvet covers and pillowcases

should be fastened before drying in

order to prevent small items from roll-

ing inside of them.

Important: Check that laundry can-

not be trapped by the door as this

may cause damage to the fabric.

If the wash is not removed at the end

of the drying program, the machine

will automatically enter the anti-

crease cycle for 60 minutes. This en-

tails the drum being rotated at short

intervals in order to reduce the forma-

tion of creases.

Once the laundry has been

removed, check that the drum is

empty. Any items left in the drum

could be damaged through over-

drying during the next program.

Clean the lint filter after each drying

cycle to prevent excessive energy

consumption, longer program times

and the risk of fire.

The door should always be closed

after use.

Notes on laundry care

Before drying, check the instructions

on the fabric care label.

The following fabrics should not be

dried in a tumble dryer:

– Woolens and wool blends

These fabrics tend to matt and shrink.

– Items filled with down

The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,

depending on the quality of the item

involved.

– Pure linen

These items should only be machine-

dried if specified as suitable by the

manufacturer on the textile care label.

The surface of the fabric may other-

wise tend to become “rough”.

Miele dryers have been designed to

dry laundry free of static cling, without

the use of dryer softener sheets or simi-

lar products. The dryer continuously

monitors the moisture content of the

laundry, and automatically shuts off the

heat when the selected degree of dry-

ness is reached. Through the use of a

cooling cycle, (where the machine oper-

ates without heat), cool, static free

laundry results. Dryer softener sheets

perform the same function by deposi-

ting a chemical residue on both the

clothes and the interior of the dryer.

Over time, this coating may lead to per-

formance reductions in the dryer.

If fabric softening is desired, it is more

convenient, economical and beneficial

to the clothing if a liquid softener is

automatically dispensed while the

clothes are in the washing machine.

Please see the washing machine opera-

ting instructions for directions on how

to automatically dispense a liquid sof-

tener.

Notes:

Knitted fabrics and flannel sheets tend

to shrink when washed for the first time

and also when dried. They should not

be overdried.

Starched laundry can also be dried in

the tumble dryer.

Permanent press items should be

briefly spun in the washing machine be-

fore drying. Items which are prone to

creasing should not be dried in the

“PERMANENT PRESS- Normal +” - Pro-

gram.

Drip-dry shirts made of pure cotton

may tend to crease, depending on the

quality of their finish.

These items should be dried in a

“Hand iron”program.

Permanent press fabrics tend to crease

more as the size of the load increases.

This is particularly true of very delicate

fabrics. The load should be reduced to

3 lbs or, if necessary, to 2 lbs.

Do not dry new dark-colored fabrics

together with light-colored items as

they may discolor.

Program selection

Functional description

An electronic sensor system monitors

the moisture content of the laundry.

Once the required degree of dryness is

reached, cold air enters the drum to

cool the laundry.

The drying program is then terminated.
