Caring for the environment

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 appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of your appliance with your household waste.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse.

See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.

Energy saving tips

To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy:

– 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.

– Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer.

– Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

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, installation, use and maintenance.

Keep these 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 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.

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 match 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 it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and 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 appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

5


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 until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

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.

6


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, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

Operation

This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been 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 there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the machine may not be able to operate properly.

There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump, hoses and / or condensed water container.

The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C.

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.

7


To prevent the risk of fire the following textiles must not be dried in this machine:

– fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials.

– items which contain damaged padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets).

– items which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents.

– items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.

– items which have been soiled with oils or residues containing grease

(kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.).

– items soiled with wax or other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).

– items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease or oil, e.g.

workwear. Such clothing may require a heavy duty detergent to get them clean. If necessary consult the detergent manufacturer for advice.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the machine to tip up.

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.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy. To avoid the risk of injury keep children away from the machine at all times and supervise them whilst you are using it.

Do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele.

If non-Miele parts are used with this machine, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine, switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless and cut off the cable directly behind the machine. This should be done by a competent person.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Guide to the appliance

Programmes

– Standard drying programmes for

Cotton and Miniumum iron fabrics

– Automatic, Shirts, Denim, Woollens hand care, Smoothing special programmes

– Timed drying programmes

PC / Optical interface

The indicator light marked PC can used by Miele Service technicians as an optical interface to update your machine in future years.

Display

The following are shown in the display:

– the programme duration (time remaining);

– the delay start time;

– the programmable functions.

Estimated time remaining

When a programme is selected the estimated drying time will 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.

In the same way, the Woollens hand care and Smoothing programmes can finish earlier than expected if a certain temperature is reached. This can happen with particularly fine fabrics or if items were partly dry beforehand.

Electronic system lock

– Prevents the machine being used without your knowledge.

Programmable functions

– For changing the standard settings.

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.

Notes on laundry care

Care symbols

Before drying check the drying symbol on the care label. If there are no symbols, dry at your own risk!

q . . . . . . . . . Dry at normal temperature r. . . . . . . . . . . . Dry at low temperature s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Do not tumble dry

Tips on drying

– Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the

"Programme chart". Never overload the drum.

Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.

– Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly after washing using the appropriate spin speed.

– For delicates and fabrics with the following care label r select Low temperature .

– Use the Automatic programme for drying mixed loads of cottons and minimum iron fabrics.

– Open jackets so that they can dry evenly.

– Woollens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can, however, be partially dried using the Woollens handcare programme.

– Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item.

They can be partially dried using the

Smoothing programme.

– Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the

Smoothing programme.

– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

– For garments made from very fine weave fibres, such as shirts or blouses, only use the Shirts or

Delicates programme to avoid creasing. If in doubt, reduce the load or use the Smoothing programme.

– Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.

– New dark coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light coloured garments to avoid the danger of colours running and discolouring other garments or even plastic components in the machine.

Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

Cleaning and care

Emptying the condensed water container

The condensed water will be collected in the condensed water container unless the machine has been fitted with a drain hose (see installation).

The condensed water container should be emptied after every drying cycle or as soon as the

Empty out container indicator lamp comes on.

The drying programme will be interrupted if the maximum level of the condensed water container is reached.

The Empty out container indicator lamp comes on and the buzzer sounds.

^ Grip the container firmly with both hands, as shown, and pull it out slightly towards the right-hand side.

^ Hold the container with both hands and carry it in a horizontal position.

^ Open the shutter and empty out the water.

^ To replace the container hold it at a slight angle (as when removing it) and push it in gently until you feel it click into position.

^ Before starting a new programme, first switch the machine off and then on again. The Empty out container indicator lamp will go out.

Condensed water should not be consumed. It could lead to health problems for people and animals.

Condensed water can be put to household use (e.g. used in a steam iron or humidifier). To ensure that any residual particles of fluff in the condensed water are removed before use, pass it through a fine sieve or paper filter first.

21


Cleaning the fluff filters

The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected by the fluff filters in the door and the door opening. Clean the filters after each drying programme.

Cleaning them whilst dry

Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner.

^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part of the door holder. A cleaning brush is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare

Parts Department, or use a vacuum cleaner.

^ Once clean, push the filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way.

^ Also clean the door seal (2) with a damp cloth.

Problem solving guide

With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of the machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Department.

,

Repair work to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

General problems

Problem

The tumble dryer fails to start when switched on.

Possible cause

No obvious cause.

Items made of synthetic fibres are charged with static electricity after drying.

Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.

Remedy

– Have you followed the switch-on procedure correctly (see “How to dry correctly”)?

– Is the plug correctly inserted in the socket and switched on?

– Is the door closed properly?

– Has the fuse or circuit breaker tripped?

Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner to the final rinse in the washing machine or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load in the dryer.

27


Problem

There is a build up of fluff.

The laundry is not sufficiently dry.

Possible cause

Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and washed.

Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form and has been established by research institutes to have no appreciable effect on the lifetime of the garment.

The load consisted of different fabrics.

Remedy

Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and can be easily removed (see "Cleaning and

Care").

– Finish drying using "Timed drying - Warm air".

– Select a more suitable drying programme next time (see "Programme chart").

28


Problem

The drying process goes on too long or even switches off.

Possible cause Remedy

Important : Before attempting to remedy one of the following causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again to start the programme again.

Ventilation to and from the dryer may be insufficient

(e.g. because it is installed in a small room). This has caused the temperature in the room to rise sharply.

The vents below the door are blocked.

Open a door or window while the machine is in operation for increased air flow.

– Remove any objects that are blocking the vents.

The fluff filters are clogged up with fluff or were still wet when they were replaced.

Detergent residues, hair and fine fibres can block up the condenser unit.

– Remove any fluff.

– The fluff filters must be completely dry.

Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it if necessary (see

"Cleaning and Care").

The laundry has not been spun sufficiently.

The tumble dryer has been overloaded.

Metallic components, e.g.

zips have prevented the dryer from registering the correct moisture level in the laundry.

Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun at the appropriate spin speed.

Do not exceed the maximum load for the programme selected.

– Open zips next time.

If the problem occurs again, dry garments with long zips using "Timed drying - Warm air".

29


Problem

The condenser unit service panel will not shut.

Possible cause

The inner cover of the condenser unit has not been locked properly and/or the condenser unit has not been positioned correctly.

Remedy

– Ensure that the condenser unit is positioned correctly and lock the cover.

– Check the rubber seals.

Water leaks from the machine after the condenser unit has been cleaned.

The interior drum lighting does not come on.

The ring around the programme selector does not light up.

Fluff has collected at the bottom of the condenser unit housing.

The lighting switched off automatically.

– Use a cloth to remove any fluff from the inside of the condenser unit housing.

The lighting only comes on when the door is opened if the dryer is switched on. To save energy the lighting goes out after a while if the door is left open.

The lamp needs changing. Change the lamp as described at the end of this section.

It lights up when drying is in progress and goes out shortly after the end of the programme to save energy.

– The ring will light up again if you press any of the buttons.

30


Check lights and fault messages

Problem

The Clean out

airways light comes on.

Possible cause

Detergent residues, hair and fine fibres can block up the condenser unit.

Remedy

"Cleaning and care").

Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it if necessary (see "Cleaning and Care").

– The indicator light will go out when you open the door, if the dryer is switched on.

– The Clean out airways indicator light can be deactivated (see

"Programmable functions").

The programme stops and the

Clean out

airways indicator light is flashing.

See above for possible causes and their remedies.

No obvious cause.

– Switch the dryer off and then on again.

– Then start the programme again.

If the programme stops again and the fault message reappears there is a fault.

Contact the Miele Service

Department.

The Empty out container indicator light comes on.

The Locked will indicator starts flashing after the dryer has been switched on. A programme cannot be started.

Possible cause

The programme selector was moved after the start of a programme. The programme continues to run as normal.

No obvious cause.

This is not a fault. The electronic unit has recognised that there is no laundry in the drum and cancelled the programme.

Drying individual garments or items which are already dry can also cause the programme to be cancelled.

This is not a fault.

The drying process is not yet complete.

Remedy

Turn the selector back to the original position and the indicator light will go out.

– Switch the dryer off and then on again.

– Then start the programme again.

If the programme stops again and the indicator light flashes again there is a fault.

Contact the Miele Service

Department.

– Use the Timed drying -

Warm air programme to dry individual items.

– The indicator light will go out when you open and close the door, if the dryer is switched on.

The system lock is activated.

The programme has taken longer than was estimated at the beginning.

The adjusted time remaining will appear in the display after a while.

You will need to deactivate the system lock before the dryer can be used (see

"Electronic system lock").

32


Changing the lamp

Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply.

^ Open the door.

You will find the interior lamp cover at the top of the drum aperture.

The lamp specification and maximum wattage is stated on the data plate and on the lamp cover.

^ Replace the lamp.

^ To close the cover push it upwards and press it on the left and right until you hear it click into position.

,

Installation

Installation site

,

Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.

Transporting the machine to its installation site

When moving the machine you can hold it by the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the dryer.

To manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing case to its installation site you will also need to hold it by the front feet.

Building under a continous worktop / in a row of kitchen units

The dryer should not be installed next to a refrigerator or freezer. The warm air expelled from the rear of the dryer would increase the temperature around the refrigerator's/freezer's heat exchanger causing the compressor to run continuously.

If it is not possible to install the dryer anywhere else, then the refrigerator/freezer must be sealed off from the dryer.

If you wish to push your machine under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid , a building under kit is not necessary. Otherwise the building under kit is essential.

,

The building under kit * must be fitted by a suitably qualified person.

The machine lid is replaced by a coverplate. It is essential that the coverplate is fitted to ensure electrical safety.

The building under kit is supplied with its own installation instructions.

N.B. When built under running times may be longer.

– The electrical socket must be located in an accessible position near the machine.

With niche heights of:

– 840 mm, longer screw feet* are required.

– 870/885 mm - 915/930 mm, one or two height adjustment frames* are required.

* Available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer or the Miele

Spare Parts Department.

Replacing the lid

If the lid has been removed in order to fit a cover plate, ensure that, if the lid is replaced, it fits securely into the rear holders. Otherwise, it is not properly secure for transport.

36

Installation

Levelling the machine

The machine must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation.

^ The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

,

The ventilation gaps in the plinth must not be covered over as this would prevent a sufficient intake of air.

Room in which the dryer is located

Air taken in for use in the drying process will be warm when it is expelled from the rear of the dryer. This expelled air heats up the air in the room. It is therefore very important to ensure that the room is adequately ventilated, particularly if the dryer is located in a small room. Otherwise running times and energy consumption could be increased.

Washer - dryer stack

The tumble dryer can also be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. To do this the appropriate stacking kit* (WTV) to match your washing machine is required.

* Available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer or the Miele

Spare Parts Department.

,

Stacking kits must be fitted by a suitably qualified fitter.

Before moving the machine again

(e.g. when moving house)

After each use a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the area around the pump. This water can run out if the machine is tipped up when it is being moved. It is a good idea to run the Cool air programme for approximately 1 minute before moving the machine. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose.

37

Installation

External condensed water outlet

When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained off directly if the machine is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.

The drain hose (approx. 2 m long) is stored in the dryer. It must be pulled out of the dryer to its full extent if condensed water is to be drained externally. Maximum delivery head:

1.50 m.

If it is not long enough, an extension hose is available as an optional accessory through your dealer or from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

Setting up the drain hose

From the back of the dryer at the top:

From the back of the dryer at the bottom:

^ Unclip the drain hose from clip (3) .

^ Then pull the drain hose completely out of the dryer towards the left (4)

(See illustration). Important:

,

Do not let the drain hose become kinked, as this could damage it.

,

If you want to drain the water off into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage.

Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked

(see "Front view" illustration).

^ Unclip the drain hose from clip (1) .

^ Then pull it off holder (2) .

38

Connection to a sink drain outlet

The drain hose can be connected directly to a sink drain outlet.

^ Remove the following from the back of the dryer at the bottom:

Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.

Installation

If this nut has a flat disc in it you should take the disc out first. Important: if this nut has a washer or seal in it this must not be removed!

^ Attach the end of the hose to adapter 1 .

^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip 3 up close to the nut.

If you no longer wish to use an external condensed water outlet

,

Do not push the drain hose back into the dryer. Doing this could cause it to become kinked and damaged in the dryer.

^ Loop the drain hose up.

^ Use a suitable cable tie to secure the looped hose to the back of the dryer, or simply lay the looped hose behind the dryer.

^ Attach the open end of the drain hose back onto the holder at the back of the dryer at the top (see holder 2 in "Setting up the drain hose").

^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2 .

39

Electrical connection

Electrical connection U.K.

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation work has been carried out.

The appliance is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240V mains supply. Please ensure the connection data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply.

Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket which is easily accessible after installation.

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section

739).

Do not connect via an extension lead.

Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating).

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.

Extending the cooling down time

The cooling down phase which takes place before the end of a programme can be lengthened if required. This makes the garments easier to handle.

The dryer is delivered with the extended cooling down time option deactivated. You can extend the cooling down time by 5 minutes or 10 minutes.

The option of extending the cooling down time is available with the Cottons and Minimum iron programmes.
