Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials

which are environmentally friendly for

disposal and can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these ma-

terials away, please ensure they are of-

fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old

machine/appliance

Old machines/appliances contain ma-

terials which can be recycled. Please

contact your dealer, your local waste

collection centre or scrap merchant

about potential recycling schemes. En-

sure that the machine/appliance pres-

ents no danger to children while being

stored for disposal. See the appropri-

ate advice in the “Warning and safety”

instructions.

Caring for the environment

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.

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.

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 cannot be held

responsible for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system.

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:

– the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Warning and safety instructions

For safety reasons, do not use an ex-

tension cable. There is a danger of

overheating.

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.

Use

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may

drop below freezing, as temperatures

below zero could damage the machine.

Frozen condensed water in the pump,

hose and condensed water container

could also lead to damage.

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 slip-

ping and the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health prob-

lems in people and animals.

Always close the door after use to

avoid the danger of:

– someone leaning on the door which

could cause the machine to tip;

– children climbing into the machine or

hiding objects in it.

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;

– also padded items (eg cushions,

jackets) which have been damaged,

as the padding could fall out and

catch fire.

Warning and safety instructions

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, guaran-

tee, performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.

Disposing of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine,

unplug it and render the plug use-

less. Cut off the cable directly behind

the appliance to prevent misuse.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infesta-

tion by cockroaches or other vermin,

pay particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any dam-

age which may be caused by cock-

roaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the appliance guarantee.

Warning and safety instructions

Brief instructions

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.

Press the “START” button to begin the

programme.

The sequence indicator lights show

which stage has been reached in the

drying programme.

The Sensitive system automatically ad-

justs drying to suit the water quality

and ensure more precise results.

The Novotronic controls measure and

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.

Once the required degree of dryness is

achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool

down.

At the end of the programme the anti-

crease action period begins. The drum

turns intermittently to reduce the forma-

tion of creases and folds.

Programmable functions can be used

to select or de-select some of the addi-

tional options and introduce further

functions. These combinations can be

stored in the machine’s memory and

called up.

Please read the sections on “Warn-

ing and safety” and “Notes on

laundry care”.

1Switching the machine on and

loading the laundry

Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-

Off” button.

it. Do not push on the door to shut it.

2Selecting a programme

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.

If required, press the “Delay start”

button and enter the number of

hours using the _buttons.
