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 Cleaning the fluff filter The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected in the fluff filter in the door. Clean the filter after every drying cycle. A cleaning brush is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department. You can also 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. Close the door.
Cleaning and care Tumble dryer Disconnect the machine from the power supply. ^ Clean the housing and control panel with a mild cleaning agent or soapy water. Clean the drum and other stainless steel parts with a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaners. These could damage plastic surfaces and other parts. The machine must never be hosed down. ^ Dry all parts with a soft 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 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 The drying process goes on too long or even switches off. 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 the dryer is Open a door or window while insufficient (e.g because it is the machine is in operation installed in a room which is for increased air flow. too small). The fluff filter may be blocked. Remove any fluff.
Problem solving guide Problem Possible cause Remedy The programme has stopped. The Anti-crease/Finish lamp has come on in the sequence display and the buzzer is sounding. 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 stopped. No obvious cause. Use the "Timed drying Warm air" programme to dry individual items.
Problem solving guide To change the interior drum lamp ^ Open the door. Before changing the lamp, disconnect the machine from the mains power supply. You will find the interior lamp cover at the top of the drum aperture. ^ Insert the opener under the side edge of the cover as illustrated. ^ Turn your wrist to make the cover open downwards. The temperature resistant lamp should only be ordered from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
Problem solving guide After sales service Repairs In the event of any faults which you cannot remedy yourself, please contact – your Miele Dealer or – The Miele Service Department (see back cover for address). When contacting the Service Department, please quote the model and serial number of your machine, both of which are shown on the data plate situated on the right hand side below the drum aperture.

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. * Available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.
Installation Aligning the machine ,A ventilation gap of 10 mm must be maintained between the base of the machine and the floor. It must not be blocked by deep pile carpets, plinths, etc as this would prevent a sufficient intake of air. 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. The machine must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation.
Electrical connection Electrical connection U.K. All electrical work should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Ensure power is not supplied to the machine while installation work is being carried out. The machine is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug for connection to a 230-240V mains supply. The voltage, rated load and fuse rating are given on the data plate.
Electrical connection If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this machine do not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows: ^ The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol z or coloured green, or green and yellow. ^ The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
Installation - venting General Important Before operating the tumble dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. This can be: . . . . . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic piping connected to the dryer, or . . . or the dryer may be connected directly to the wall vent. – Before installing the ducting system, ensure that the machine is not connected to the power supply. – The ducting outlet (e.g.
Installation - venting Calculating the effective duct length: Friction against the inner walls of the ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor. The additional length factors are calculated by comparing the friction created by, for example, an elbow to that created by 1 metre of straight plastic piping (Table I).

Example At the rear The connection is opened at the factory. ^ Fit one of the venting systems described on the following pages. Left or right side of the machine A Wall pipe, with louvred vent = 1 x 3.8 m Additional duct length B/D 2 Elbows, 90° = 2 x 0.8 m Additional duct length C = 1.6 m 0.5 m plastic piping = 0.5 x 1 m Additional duct length E = 3.8 m = 0.
Installation - venting Venting systems overview The various venting systems which are possible (a b c) are described on the following pages. Adapter a Venting system with flexible ducting This is a simple, cost effective method of directing the moist air outside. The adapter is fitted into the vent opening on the dryer and the ducting hose is then connected to the adapter. ^ The following items are required: ... flexible ducting hose ... a wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. * (Miele optional accessory).

Window vent kit (fitted in a "plexiglass" pane) (separate fitting instructions are supplied with the Miele window vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose 1. Pipe with connection piece (= supplied with the Miele wall vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose 3.
Installation - venting b Venting system with plastic piping Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe are less resistant to the vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping. ^ The following items are required: . . . . . an adapter* (dia. 100 mm)* with rib on the inside. . . . a wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. * (Miele optional accessory) . . .
Installation - venting c Connecting directly to a wall vent Side view: The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. However, it is necessary to insert the wall vent right through the wall. Because the vented air is blown directly outside, and has only a short distance to go, this system is very efficient in terms of time and energy consumption. ^ A wall pipe and a flexible foam gasket must be used (both Miele optional accessories).
Installation - venting d Main venting duct We recommend that when several dryers are being installed each dryer should be fitted with one non-return flap installed directly on the main venting duct (R, upper picture). Extra Miele equipment is required for this purpose. When up to five dryers are being installed, the pipe diameter D must be increased according to Table III.
