Guide to the appliance

Environmentally conscious drying

The sensitive system automatically ad-

justs drying to suit the water quality.

The water conductivity is measured,

and registered by the control which

then compensates to achieve a uniform

residual moisture level. The Novotronic

control offers programmes with elec-

tronic 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 to

ensure 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 full spin speed in-

stead of at 600 rpm. Load according to

the optimum amount of washing for the

programme to be selected. Underload-

ing is uneconomical. Overloading gives

a poorer quality of drying and may

cause unnecessary creasing.

Before using for the first time

Important: The appliance must be

properly installed and connected to

the electricity supply.

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 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

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.

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.

Warning and safety instructions

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.

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

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Use

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 tempera-

tures the machine may be difficult to

start. At very cold temperatures the ma-

chine may be difficult to start. Laundry

will not dry and the “anti-crease” indica-

tor light will flash to indicate there is 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, guaran-

tee, performance 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 symbol

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 at a normal tempera-

ture at the appropriate programme

setting.

– For delicate fabrics, e.g. acrylic

fibres, the low temperature setting

should be selected.

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 involved.

– Pure linen

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 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.

Select the most suitable programme for

hand or machine ironing.

Minimum iron items should be spun for

10 to 30 seconds before being tumble

dried. Such fabrics tend to crease if

overdried. These items should be given

only a short period in the dryer, and

taken out slightly damp. The “Minimum

iron Normal” programme is recom-

mended.

Minimum iron shirts in 100 % cotton

may crease during tumble drying de-

pending on the quality and weave.

Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease

more, the greater the load. This is par-

ticularly true of very delicate fabrics.

The load should be reduced to 1.5 kg

or, if necessary, to 1 kg. The “Hand

iron” setting is recommended for these

types of garment. In extreme cases do

not tumble dry these garments.

Dark-coloured garments should be

dried separately from light-coloured

garments.

Loading the machine 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 for 60 minutes. This en-

tails the drum being rotated at short in-

tervals in order to reduce the possibility

of the formation of creases.

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 filter after each drying

cycle to prevent excessive energy con-

sumption and longer programme run-

ning times.

The door should always be closed after

use.

Programme selection

Selecting a programme

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 cooling down

period. This may be followed by the

anti-crease action cycle.

The following drying programmes are

available:

Cottons

six drying levels from “Extra dry” to

“Machine iron”

Minimum iron

three drying levels from “Normal+” to

“Hand iron”

Timed drying

15 mins cool air and 20 mins warm air

Low temperature

By selecting “Low temperature” the

temperature can be lowered for deli-

cate fabrics (e.g. acrylic).

Correct procedure:

Load the drum

Close the door

Switch on the machine

Select a programme by turning the

selector switch clockwise or anti-

clockwise.

Select “Low temperature” if required.

Press “Start”.

After drying:

Turn the programme selector switch

to “Finish”.

Switch the machine off.

Clean the fluff filter.

Opening the door during a pro-

gramme

If the door is opened during a pro-

gramme the programme will have to be

started again:

Close the door.

Press “Start”.

The selected programme restarts.

The programme is not continued if:

- There is a power failure lasting more

than 30 minutes.

- The programme has already reached

the “Cooling down” or “Anti-crease”

stage.

To reselect a different programme

during drying:

Set the programme selector switch

to the required programme.

The new programme starts from the be-

ginning.

To cancel a programme

Turn the programme selector switch

to “Finish”.

Programmes - Cottons

Extra dry

Multi-layer fabrics which would not be

thoroughly dried using the “Normal +”

programme.

Note:

Jerseywear tends to shrink depending

on the quality and type of manufactur-

ing involved. The “Extra dry” pro-

gramme should therefore not be se-

lected for these fabrics.

Normal+

Mixed load of cotton fabrics, e.g. towell-

ing and jerseywear, i.e. single-layer

and multi-layer fabrics.

max. 5 kg

Normal *

Homogeneous loads of cotton fabrics

(jerseywear, flannelette sheets, towel-

ling).

max. 5 kg

Note:

Should certain items still be slightly

damp, select the “Normal + pro-

gramme”.

Hand iron rr *

Cotton or linen fabrics, e.g. table linen,

bedding, starched laundry, etc.

max. 5 kg

Note:

If fabrics are too damp for hand-iron-

ing, please select the “Hand iron r” pro-

gramme.

Machine iron

Cotton or linen fabrics, including star-

ched laundry, for machine-ironing.

max. 5 kg

Note:

The laundry should be rolled up to pre-

vent it from drying out until it can be

ironed.
