To avoid the risk of accidents or

damage to the machine it is

essential to read these operating instructions

before it is installed or used for the first time.

M.-Nr. 06 067 770

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.

Disposal of your old machine

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.

Ensure that the machine presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Before throwing an old machine

away unplug it and render the plug

useless. Cut off the cable directly

behind the machine to prevent misuse.

This should be done by a competent

person.

Energy saving tips

^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.

^To save energy and time:

– Make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Make sure the fluff filters are clean

before using the dryer.

Contents

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, use and maintenance.

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.

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.

"Dry Cleaning Kits" for freshening up

garments in a tumble dryer are

increasingly available on the market. If

using, do so at your own risk and follow

the instructions provided on the

packaging.

Any other applications may be

dangerous. The manufacturer is not

liable for damage resulting from

improper use or operation.

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury, do not allow

children to play on or near it, or to

play with the controls. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

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 (fusing, voltage and

frequency) matches 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

the machine and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

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 machine to the

mains electricity supply by an

extension 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

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which the manufacturer cannot accept

liability. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved

technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine 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

machine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In the event of a fault or for

cleaning purposes, the machine is

only completely isolated from the

electiricty supply when:

–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

assessment of the installation being

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

The dryer must not be used without

the fluff filters in place or if the fluff

filters are damaged in any way.

The fluff filters must be thoroughly

dried after cleaning. If they are still

damp or wet when replaced there is a

risk of faults occurring when the

machine is used.

The dryer must not be used without

the condenser unit in place.

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.

There is a risk of damage if the

condensed water is allowed to freeze in

the pump, hoses and / or condensed

water container.

If the water is drained externally

through the drain hose instead of

being collected in the condensed water

container, make sure the drain hose is

securely attached if you hang it in a

sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping

and the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health

problems in both people and animals.

Always keep the area around the

machine free of dust and fluff. Dust

drawn into the machine can, over time,

cause blockages in the condenser unit.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the

door, as this can cause the

machine to tip up.

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

lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish

remover or similar substances.

– contain padding or fillings (e.g.

pillows, jackets). If these were

damaged the filling could leak out

with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

–are soiled with oil or grease.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

machine 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 machine

guarantee.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee,

performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Operating the tumble dryer

Features

Display

The display shows:

–the programme duration (time

remaining);

–the delay start time;

–check messages;

–programmable functions.

Estimated time remaining

The electronics calculate the drying

time a few seconds after the

programme has started. During this

calculation period, bars will flash in the

display (===...-==... ==...). The estimated

drying time will then appear in the

display. Please be aware that it is only

an estimate!

The following factors all affect the

estimated time remaining: Residual

moisture content after spinning; type of

fabric; size of load; room temperature;

fluctuations in power supply.

The electronics continually assess

conditions in the machine 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.

If the time remaining stops counting

down shortly before the end of the

programme and bars start flashing in

the display, this is not a fault.

The drying programme is a little longer

than was originally indicated.

Buttons and check lights

The relevant indicator light comes on

each time a button is pressed.

PC / Optical interface

The indicator or check light marked PC

is explained in "After Sales Service".

Drum lighting

If the dryer is switched on, the drum

lighting will come on when the door is

opened. It will go out after a short while

if the door is left open to save energy.

Electronic system lock

This can be used to lock the electronics

to prevent the dryer being used without

your knowledge.

Programmable functions

The programmable functions allow you

to change standard settings.
