Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The packing material protects the dryer from transport damages. 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 materials away, please ensure they are recycled.

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. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. Make sure that the room temperature is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the dryer is located, make sure the room is well ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible. After every cycle remove the fluff from the surfaces and the fluff filters (see "Cleaning and Care"). Clean the fine filter when the prompt to do so appears in the display.

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. Therefore, please do not dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre, or contact your Chartered Agent for advice. Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. ~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. 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. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by a compressor. It is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place. It is normal for humming noises caused by the heat pump technology to be heard during the drying process. This does not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer. The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive. In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation").

~ Do not connect the tumble dryer 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). unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liabilty. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.

Warning and Safety instructions ~ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the tumble dryer 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 the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity 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.

~ This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. ~ Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele. ~ In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths)should be washed in hot water with extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer. Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail polish remover or similar substances. When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

,To avoid the possible danger of fire please read these warnings carefully. ,A clogged filter is a fire hazard! The lint filter must be cleaned after every program. ~ Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer: Items which have not been washed. Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other desposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.

~ To prevent the risk of fire, the

~ Oil-affected items can ignite

spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions ~ To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles or products must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
Items which have been dry-cleaned (for example with a chemical treatment). Fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling. Fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

~ Warning: Do not switch the tumble

dryer off before the end of the drying programme. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately, it could give off a great amount of heat. products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

~ Fabric conditioner and similar

~ In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase is complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry.

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 electonics continually assess conditions in the tumble dryer 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, some programmes can finish earlier than expected if a certain temperature is reached. This can happen with particularly fine fabrics, very small loads or if items were partly dry beforehand.

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 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.

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.

An unsatisfactory drying result
Problem The laundry is not sufficiently dry. Possible cause The load consisted of different fabrics. Remedy Finish drying using the Warm air programme. Select a different programme next time*. The smell will dissipate after sufficient airing. Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner to the final rinse in the washing programme or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load when drying.

Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal. Items made of synthetic Synthetic fibres tend to fibres are charged with attract static charge. static electricity after drying. Feather filled pillows smell after drying.

Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed.

Installation and connection

Before moving the tumble dryer again (e.g. when moving houses) After each use a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the area around the pump. This water can run out if the tumble dryer 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 it. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose. A build-up of heat can be avoided by: Adjusting the screw feet so that there is a gap of at least 20 mm between the floor and the bottom of the dryer. Creating a gap for the dryer in the kitchen furniture plinth facing. Creating ventilation gaps in the kitchen unit. N.B. When built-under drying times may be longer.

,The dryer should not be installed

Installation site

,The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted. ,The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer must not be blocked or covered, e.g. by a laundry basket, as this would cause a fault.
