How to dry correctly A Prepare the laundry ^ As far as possible, sort laundry for: - the type of fibre or weave, - the degree of dryness required, - similar size of items, - the moisture content after spinning. This will help towards achieving an even drying result. Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them. Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.
How to dry correctly C Select a programme D Start the programme ^ Press the Start button. The drying cycle begins. The drying stage reached is shown by the sequence indicator lamps on the right hand side of the control panel. At the end of the drying phase a cooling down phase commences to cool the laundry down. The Cool air indicator lights up. The required degree of dryness has now been reached. ^ Turn the programme selector to the required programme.
How to dry correctly Selecting a different programme As long as the cooling down phase or the anti-crease phase has not been reached it is possible to change a programme after it has started by turning the programme selector to a different programme position. Interrupting a programme ^ Switch the machine off with the I-On/0-Off button. To continue drying: ^ Switch the dryer on with the I-On/0-Off button.
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.
Cleaning and care 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 ^ 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. Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning and care Cleaning them with water If there is a great deal of compacted fluff on any of the filters, they can be removed and cleaned under hot running water. ^ To remove the fluff filter from the door holder see previous page. ^ Place the filters back in the door opening (the left and right filters are identical) with the finger holders facing upwards. See illustration. Cleaning the tumble dryer Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the condenser unit Detergent residue, hair and fine fluff from the dryer can get through the fluff filters and block the condenser unit. Dust from the room in which the dryer is installed can also get into the condenser unit and cause a blockage. Check the condenser unit at least twice a year. If the dryer is used frequently then clean the condenser unit after approx. 100 drying cycles.
Cleaning and care If you cannot see any fluff: ^ Replace the condenser unit (see following page). If you can see some fluff: ^ Clean the condenser unit as described below. Cleaning the condenser unit ^ When rinsing the condenser unit, make sure you position it as shown in the next two illustrations. ^ Pull the condenser unit out of its housing by the handle. Checking the condenser unit ^ Use a shower head or similar to rinse the unit out as shown. ^ Hold the condenser unit up to the light as shown.
Cleaning and care Replacing the condenser unit ^ With the handle facing upwards, push the condenser unit back into position in its housing. ^ Turn the lever down to the horizontal position, making sure that the hook on the lever clicks into the groove. When replacing the inner cover after cleaning, ensure that the rubber seal fits correctly into the groove. ^ Then flush the unit through from the front.
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 equipment should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person in 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.
Problem solving guide Problem Possible cause Remedy There is a build up of fluff. 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 effect on the lifetime of fabric. The load consisted of different fabrics. Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and can be easily removed (see "Cleaning and Care"). The laundry is not sufficiently dry.
Problem solving guide Problem Possible cause Remedy The drying process Important: Before attempting to remedy one of the goes on too long or following causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again even switches off. to start the programme again.

Installation Front view a Mains connection cable e Service panel for condenser unit b Condensed water container f Four height-adjustable screw feet c Control panel g External drainage options (e.g. via wash basin, wash basin drain outlet, or gully).
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.
Installation Levelling the machine 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.
Installation External condensed water outlet From the back of the dryer at the bottom: 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.
Installation Connection to a sink drain outlet The drain hose can be connected directly to a sink drain outlet. If this nut has a flat disc sealing 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.
Electrical connection Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. 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.
