Guide to the appliance Caring for the environment

The drying system

The sensitive system automatically ad-

justs drying to suit the water quality,

and makes more exact drying possible.

The water conductivity is measured,

and registered by the control which

then compensates to achieve a uniform

residual moisture level.

The Novo Super control offers 9 pro-

grammes with electronic moisture

measuring and 2 timed programmes.

The automatic reversing action turns

the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise

to loosen the laundry and prevent

damp patches and thus ensures even

drying results.

Energy saving tips

Make sure that your laundry is thor-

oughly spun before drying. You will

save up to 35% energy and time if

laundry is spun at 1600 rpm instead of

at 600 rpm.

Load according to the optimum am-

ount of washing for the programme to

be selected. Underloading is unecon-

omical. Overloading gives a poorer

quality of drying and may cause un-

necessary creasing.

Before using for the first time

Important: The appliance must be

properly installed and connected to

the electricity supply.

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging used to protect the ma-

chine during transport largely consists

of the following recyclable materials:

- Corrugated paper/card

- Polystyrene - CFC-free

- Polyethylene foil - transparent

- Fibreboard (solvent free)

- Untreated wood

- Packaging straps: Polyamide (blue)

Polypropylene (black),

Rather than just throwing these ma-

terials away please take them to the

nearest collection point for specific

waste.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which

can be recycled. Please contact your

local authorities or scrap merchant

about potential recycling schemes, be-

fore disposing of the appliance. Fold

page out to refer to the appliance and its

controls.

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 ma-

chine. This will avoid the risk of acci-

dents and damage to the machine.

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 usage

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

dangerous. The manufacturer is not

liable for damage resulting from im-

proper use or operation.

Do not let small children play with the

machine and its controls or operate it.

Please supervise its use by the elderly

or infirm.

Technical safety

Check for visible external damage

before installation.

Do not install or operate a damaged

machine or appliance.

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 can not be held

responsible for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system.

For safety reasons do not use an

extension cable. There is a danger

of 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 can not accept

responsibility. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved engin-

eer.

In the event of a fault or for clean-

ing purposes, the machine is only

completely isolated from the electricity

supply either when:

– the plug is withdrawn, or:

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

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.

The appliance should never be

operated without the furniture front

panel in place.

Warning and Safety instructions

Caution: If the appliance is sup-

plied from a cord extension set or

electrical portable 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.

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 might be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the appliance guarantee.

UseThe appliance is not intended for

use by young children or infirm per-

sons without supervision.

Young children should be super-

vised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

There is a danger of fire with fab-

rics, which:

– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-

ber-like materials

– have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents

– have been splashed with hair lac-

quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover

or similar.

Always close the door after use.

This way you will avoid the danger

of anyone sitting or leaning on the door,

which can cause the machine to tip up.

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may

drop below freezing. At very cold tem-

peratures the machine may be difficult

to start. Laundry will not dry and the

"anti-crease" indicator will flash to indi-

cate a problem. Freezing condensed

water in the pump, hoses and in the

condensed water container can lead to

damage.

Make sure the drain hose is se-

curely attached if you hang it in a

sink or basin (external drainage of con-

densed water) to avoid the hose slip-

ping and the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health prob-

lems in people and animals.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee, per-

formance and product liability claims

may be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine

unplug it. Render the plug useless.

Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-

pliance to prevent misuse.

Notes on laundry care

Before drying, check the drying sym-

bol on the textile care label

Significance of symbols:

q= Dry at normal temperature

r= Dry at low temperature

s= Do not tumble dry.

If no symbol is featured dry at your own

risk applying the following principles:

Cottons and minimum iron items

should be dried in the appropriate

programme, (see programme

charts).

For delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylic

fibres, the low temperature setting

should be selected. (To do this press

the "Low temperature" pushbutton).

The following fabrics should not

be dried in a tumble dryer:

– Woollens and wool blends

These fabrics tend to become

matted and shrink.

– Items filled with down

The fine fabric interior tends to

shrink, depending on the quality in-

volved.

– 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 tend to "roughen".

Note:

Some woven and loopknit materials

tend to shrink to varying extents de-

pending on their quality. This tendency

is exaggerated by over-drying.

When purchasing woven materials, it is

advisable to take their shrinkage

properties into account.

Starched washing can also be dried in

the tumble dryer. In order to achieve the

usual finish, double the amount of starch

should be used.

Minimum iron items should be spun

only briefly before being tumble dried.

Such fabrics tend to crease if over-

dried. These items should be given

only a short period in the dryer, and

taken out slightly damp. Use the "Mini-

mum iron Normal" programme rather

than "Minimum iron Normal+".

Minimum iron shirts in 100% cotton may

crease during tumble drying depending

on the quality and weave. The "Hand

iron" setting is recommended for these

types of garment. In extreme cases do

not tumble dry these garments, but dry

them on a hanger.

Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease

more, the greater the load. This is particu-

larly true of very delicate fabrics. The

load should be reduced to1.5 kg or, if

necessary, to 1 kg.

Dark-coloured garments should be

dried separately from light-coloured

garments, to avoid colours running.

Loading and unloading the machine

Load the laundry very loosely into the

drum.

Duvet covers and pillowcases should

be fastened before drying in order to

prevent small items from being rolled in-

side them.

Important: Please check that items

of laundry cannot be trapped by the

door as this will cause damage to

the fabric.

At the end of the programme remove

the washing from the machine. If this is

not done, the machine automatically

proceeds into an intermittent anti-

crease action. The drum rotates at

short intervals in order to reduce the

possibility of creasing.

Once the laundry has been removed,

check that the drum is empty. Any

items left in the drum could be dam-

aged through overdrying in the next

programme.

Clean the fluff filters after each drying

cycle to prevent excessive energy con-

sumption and longer programme run-

ning times.

The door should always be closed

after.

Programme selection

How the tumble dryer works

This tumble dryer is fitted with an elec-

tronic sensor system. The required de-

gree of dryness is measured and moni-

tored electronically so that the heating

element is switched off as soon as it is

reached. The drying cycle automati-

cally finishes with a cool-ling down

period. This may be follow- ed by the

anti-crease action cycle.

The following three programme groups

are available:

- COTTONS

six programmes from "Extra dry" to "Ma-

chine iron"

- MINIMUM IRON

three programmes from "Normal +" to

"Hand iron"

- TIMED DRYING

timed drying for up to a maximum of

two hours, warm air or cool air.

The following additional information is

available:

SEQUENCE

The programme sequence indicator

shows the current stage of the programme

and the degree of drying reached.

Display field "TIME" (h mins)

The display field is situated to the right

of the sequence indicator and has a

double function:

– Time left (only for timed drying pro-

gramme)

– Delay start

Time left

The length of the programme in hours

and minutes appears and the "time left"

indicator light comes on (after the delay

start period has expired, if selected) as

soon as

a timed programme is chosen

the cooling down phase of the COT-

TONS or MINIMUM IRON pro-

gramme is reached.

The length of a timed drying pro-

gramme can be selected using the

_touch pads between 15 minutes

and 2 hours.

Once the programme has startedthe

time left counts down at 1 minute intervals.

Delay start

A programme start time can be de-

layed by a maximum of 9 hours 30

minutes.

Select the required programme.

Press the DELAY START touch con-

trol pad.

The indicator light dand the one in

the pad light up.

Set the delay start by pressing the

$or >touch pads underneath the

time display:

1 x press = 30 mins

2 x press = 1 hour

Press the START touch pad.

The delay start time is displayed and

counts down in minutes.

Delay start can still be changed after

the START pad has been pressed, (pro-

vided that the Child Safety option has

not been programmed in).
