Disposal of your old  
machine/appliance  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.  
Adequate ventilation is essential,  
especially where another appliance  
which also uses the room air (eg gas, oil  
or coal fired heater, continuous flow or  
other water heater) is installed in the same  
or an adjacent room. To ensure safe oper-  
ation, and to prevent gases given off by  
these appliances being drawn back into  
the room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar  
is the maximum permissible. Ventilation  
can be maintained by air inlets which can-  
not be blocked, in windows, doors and  
outside wall vents, or by an automatic win-  
dow opening arrangement when the  
tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt,  
the advice of a competent builder, or for  
gas, a “Corgi” installer (in UK) must be  
sought.  
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,  
ensure 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.

which is in use, nor should it be con-  
nected to ducting which ventilates  
rooms with fireplaces. It would be dan-  
gerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were  
drawn back into the room.  
In the event of a fault, or for clean-  
ing purposes, the machine is only  
completely isolated from the electricity  
supply when:  
Always close the door after use to  
avoid the danger of:  
– the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
– someone leaning on the door which  
could cause the machine to tip;  
– children climbing into the machine or  
hiding objects in it.  
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.  
There is a danger of fire with fab-  
rics which:  
– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-  
ber-like materials;  
Use  
– have been treated with inflammable  
cleaning agents;  
– have been splashed with hair lac-  
quer, hair spray, nail varnish  
remover or similar;  
Do not install the machine in a  
room where the temperature may  
drop below freezing, as temperatures  
below zero could damage the ma-  
chine.  
– also padded items (eg cushions,  
jackets) which have been damaged,  
as the padding could fall out and  
catch fire;  
A suitable ducting system must be  
installed before operating this  
vented dryer.  
– are soiled with grease or oil.

Warning and safety instructions  
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.  
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.

Brief instructions  
Brief instructions  
Brief description  
Please read the sections on “Warn-  
ing and safety” and “Notes on  
laundry care”.  
Programmes are selected by turning  
the programme selector and can be  
supplemented by pressing the addi-  
tional option buttons.  
1Switching the machine on and  
loading the laundry  
Press the “START” button to begin a  
programme.  
Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-  
Off” button.  
The indicator lights in the sequence dis-  
play (on the right hand side of the con-  
trol panel) show which stage has been

Notes on laundry care  
Notes on laundry care  
– Pure linen*  
Before drying, check the drying sym-  
bol on the textile care label.  
These items should only be machine  
dried if specified as suitable by the  
manufacturer on the textile care label,  
as the surface of the fabric may other-  
wise “roughen”.  
Significance of symbols:  
q = Dry at normal temperature  
r = Dry at low temperature  
(also push in the “Low temperature”  
button if required)  
* Linen and down-filled items can, how-  
ever, be partially dried using the  
“Smoothing” programme.  
s = Do not tumble dry  
t = Can be tumble dried  
Notes:  
If no symbol is featured, dry at your own  
risk applying the following principles:  
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.  
Cotton and minimum iron items should  
be dried in the appropriate programme  
(see programme charts).  
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select  
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low  
temperature" button.  
Starched washing can be dried in the  
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the  
usual finish, double the amount of  
starch should be used.  
Never overload the drum. Always  
observe the maximum recom-  
mended loads given in the “Pro-  
gramme chart”. Overloading can  
cause unnecessary wear and tear  
to the laundry, give a disappointing  
drying result and cause more creas-  
ing.  
Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton  
shirts or blouses tend to crease more,  
when larger loads being dried, particu-  
lary when the weave of the fabric is  
very fine. Reduce the load or use the  
Special care “Minimum iron – Hand  
iron” programme. If this is unsatisfac-  
tory use the “Smoothing” setting, then  
hang the garments on a hanger to dry.  
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, however,  
be partially dried using the “Woollens  
hand care” programme.  
New dark-coloured fabrics should be  
dried separately from light-coloured  
fabrics to avoid colours running.  
– Down-filled items*  
The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,  
depending on the quality.

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 appro-  
priate spin speed before drying. Spin-  
ning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves  
approximately 30% energy and time  
compared with 800 rpm.  
Load the laundry very loosely into  
the drum.  
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 underloaded.  
Do not overload the drum. Over-  
loading can cause unnecessary  
wear and tear to the laundry and  
give a disappointing drying result.  
Close the door.  
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.

Installation  
Installation  
A ventilation gap of 10 mm must be  
maintained between the bottom of the  
machine and the floor. It must not be  
blocked by deep pile carpets,  
plinths etc, preventing a sufficient in-  
take of cold air.  
Building under a continuous work-  
top/in a row of kitchen units  
The space required by the vent duct  
must be taken into consideration  
when calculating the distance be-  
tween the machine and a wall or  
other appliances or furniture on  
either side.  
The machine must be perfectly level to  
ensure safe and proper operation.  
Minor differences do not, however,  
have an adverse effect on operation.  
A special conversion kit* is necessary.  
The machine lid is replaced by a  
coverplate which must be fitted by a  
suitably competent person to ensure  
electrical safety.  
Flat type ducting* is required if there  
is not enough space for a vent duct.  
When installing under a worktop with  
a working height of 900/910 mm, a  
spacer kit* is necessary.  
When built under, the running times  
may be longer.  
The dryer can be combined with a  
Miele washing machine in a washer  
and dryer stack. The appropriate stack-  
ing kit* to match your washing machine  
is required.  
* These items are all available from your Miele  
dealer.  
The screw feet can be adjusted to  
compensate for any uneveness in  
the floor surface.  
(N.B. If you wish to push your machine  
under a worktop and there is space to  
do this without removing the lid, the  
conversion kit is not necessary. Other-  
wise the conversion kit is essential).

Installation - venting

Installation to the left or right side of  
the machine  
The moist air from the dryer must be  
vented via a ducting system.  
When installing avoid:  
very long venting systems  
too many bends or corners  
tight corners  
otherwise the drying result will be less  
effective and it will take longer and use  
more energy.  
Suitable materials for venting pipe-  
work:  
galvanised steel piping  
plastic piping  
Remove only the cover cap. Do not  
remove the frame.  
flexible piping  
The venting connection can be made:  
to the rear (the machine is supplied  
with the connection at the rear open)  
to the left or right side of the ma-  
chine.  
Install the venting pipework in such  
a way that the moist expelled air  
cannot be drawn into the machine  
again.  
Use the cover cap to close the rear  
outlet.  
Connection must not be made to a  
flue used by gas or solid fuel boilers  
or heaters.  
Fitting the venting pipework  
An adapter (Ø 100 mm) for the venting  
pipe is supplied as standard.  
It is to be fitted into the vent outlet to  
facilitate connection of a flexible vent-  
ing pipe.  
Before installation, ensure that the  
machine is not connected to the  
electrical supply.  
27  
 
 
Installation - venting  
A short passage for the expelled air is  
preferable to ensure the tumble dryer  
functions as efficiently as possible. Ex-  
pelled air is slowed down in the vent  
duct by friction against the inner walls  
of the duct. The shorter and smoother  
the inner walls, the less friction occurs.  
To calculate the effective duct  
length:  
Measure the actual duct length:  
Establish the number of elbows or  
bends necessary, noting the type of  
bend, angle and radius involved.  
(Table I).  
Additional duct length  
Add the additional length factor as  
specified in Table I to the actual duct  
length to give the effective duct  
length.  
An elbow or bend creates more friction  
than a straight duct. An additional duct  
length factor should therefore be calcu-  
lated for each elbow or bend (see  
Table I).  
The appropriate duct diameter can  
then be taken from Table II.  
Effective duct length  
Note:  
The additional length factor is added to  
the actual duct length to give the effec-  
tive duct length.  
Drying times and energy consumption  
remain unaltered for 100 mm diameter  
ducting up to a total length of 10 m.  
Longer ducting may lead to slight in-  
creases in drying times and energy  
consumption, but does not impair the  
function of the machine if the necess-  
ary duct diameter is used (Table II).  
Duct diameter  
A larger duct diameter also helps to re-  
duce friction. The duct diameter should  
therefore increase with increasing duct  
length.

Installing several machines:  
We recommend that when several ma-  
chines are being installed each ma-  
chine should be fitted with a non-return  
flap (available from a good builders’  
merchant). This will prevent odours  
being transferred and the build up of  
condensation in the machines which  
are not in use.
