Warning and safety instructions  
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  
machine. This will avoid the risk of  
accidents and damage to the ma-  
chine. Keep these operating in-  
structions in a safe place and en-  
sure that new users are familiar with  
the content. Pass them on to any fu-  
ture owners of the machine.  
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.  
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 cannot be held  
responsible for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system.  
Correct usage  
The tumble dryer is only intended  
for drying fabrics which have been  
washed in a water solution and are  
marked on the manufacturer’s wash  
care label as being suitable for tumble  
drying.  
Any other applications may be dan-  
gerous. The manufacturer is not liable  
for damage resulting from improper  
use or operation.  
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 cannot accept respon-  
sibility. Repairs should only be under-  
taken by a Miele approved engineer.  
In the event of a fault, or for clean-  
ing purposes, the machine is only  
completely isolated from the electricity  
supply when:  
Do not let small children play with  
the machine and its controls or  
operate it. Please supervise its use by  
the elderly or infirm.  
– the plug is withdrawn, or  
– it is switched off at the mains, or  
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
Technical safety  
Check for visible external damage  
before installation.  
Do not install or operate a damaged  
machine or appliance.

Warning and safety instructions  
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-  
tension cable. There is a danger of  
overheating.  
Condensed water is not drinking  
water. It can cause health prob-  
lems in people and animals.  
Faulty components must only be  
Always close the door after use to  
avoid the danger of:  
exchanged for Miele original spare  
parts. Only when these parts are fitted  
can the safety standards of the ma-  
chine be guaranteed.  
– someone leaning on the door which  
could cause the machine to tip;  
– children climbing into the machine or  
hiding objects in it.  
Use  
There is a danger of fire with fab-  
rics which:  
Do not install the machine in a  
room where the temperature may  
drop below freezing, as temperatures  
below zero could damage the machine.  
– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-  
ber-like materials;  
– have been treated with inflammable  
Frozen condensed water in the pump,  
hose and condensed water container  
could also lead to damage.  
cleaning agents;  
– have been splashed with hair lac-  
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover  
or similar;  
– also padded items (eg cushions,  
jackets) which have been damaged,  
as the padding could fall out and  
catch fire.  
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 slip-  
ping and the water causing damage.

Warning and safety instructions  
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.  
Disposing of your old machine  
Before discarding an old machine,  
unplug it and render the plug use-  
less. Cut off the cable directly behind  
the appliance to prevent misuse.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infesta-  
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,

Brief instructions  
Brief description  
Please read the sections on “Warn-  
ing and safety” and “Notes on  
laundry care”.  
Programmes are selected by turning  
the programme selector and can be  
supplemented by pressing the addi-  
tional option buttons.  
1 Switching the machine on and  
loading the laundry  
Press the “START” button to begin a  
programme.  
Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-  
Off” button.  
The indicator lights in the sequence dis-  
play (on the right hand side of the con-  
trol panel) show which stage has been  
reached in the programme.  
Press the “Door” button to open the  
door.  
Place the laundry loosely in the drum.  
The Sensitive system automatically ad-  
justs drying to suit the water quality  
and ensure more precise results.  
The Novotronic controls measure and  
register the conductivity of the water  
and compensate for variations to  
achieve a uniform residual moisture  
level.  
Swing the door shut but do not slam  
it. Do not push on the door to shut it.  
2Selecting a programme  
Turn the programme selector to the  
drying level you require.  
The automatic reversing action turns  
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise  
to loosen the laundry and prevent  
uneven drying, ensuring good results.  
3 Selecting additional option(s)  
Press the buttons to switch addi-  
tional options on or off as required.  
Once the required degree of dryness is  
achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool  
down.  
4 Starting the programme  
Press the “START” button.  
At the end of the programme the anti-  
crease action period begins. The drum  
turns intermittently to reduce the forma-  
tion of creases and folds.  
Programmable functions can be used  
to select or de-select some of the addi-  
tional options and introduce further  
functions. These combinations can be  
stored in the machine’s memory and  
called up.

Notes on laundry care  
Notes on laundry care  
Notes:  
Before drying, check the drying sym-  
bol on the textile care label.  
Some woven and loopknit materials  
(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)  
have a tendency to shrink, depending  
on their quality, and this is often made  
worse by over-drying. When purchas-  
ing woven materials, it is advisable to  
take their shrinkage properties into ac-  
count.  
Significance of symbols:  
q = Dry at normal temperature  
r = Dry at low temperature  
(also push in the “Low temperature”  
button if required)  
s = Do not tumble dry  
Starched washing can be dried in the  
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the  
usual finish, double the amount of  
starch should be used.  
t = Can be tumble dried  
If no symbol is featured, dry at your own  
risk applying the following principles:  
Cotton and minimum iron items should  
be dried in the appropriate programme  
(see programme charts).  
Minimum iron shirts or blouses in 100%  
cotton may crease badly, depending  
on the quality and weave. Try drying  
these items using the “Hand iron” set-  
ting but if this is unsatisfactory use the  
"Smoothing" setting, then hang the gar-  
ments on a hanger to dry.  
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select  
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low  
temperature" button.  
The following fabrics should not  
be dried in a tumble dryer:  
– Woollens and wool blends  
These fabrics tend to become matted  
and shrink. These fabrics can, how-  
ever, be partially dried using the  
“Woollens hand care” programme.  
– Down-filled items*  
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease  
more, the larger the drying load, particu-  
larly when the weave of the fabric is very  
fine. The load should be reduced to  
1.5 kg or, if necessary, to 1 kg.  
New dark-coloured fabrics should be  
dried separately from light-coloured  
fabrics to avoid colours running.  
The fine fabric interior tends to  
shrink, depending on the quality.  
– Pure linen*  
These items should only be ma-  
chine dried if specified as suitable  
by the manufacturer on the textile  
care label, as the surface of the fab-  
ric may otherwise “roughen”.  
* Linen and down-filled items can,  
however, be partially dried using  
the “Smoothing” programme.

Hints on saving energy  
Make sure there is no washing  
detergent dispenser among the  
laundry, as this could melt and dam-  
age the machine and the laundry.  
Make sure that your laundry has  
been thoroughly spun at the highest  
appropriate spin speed before  
drying. Spinning at 1600 rpm, for  
example, saves approximately 30%  
energy and time compared with 800  
rpm.  
Load the laundry very loosely into  
the drum.  
Do not overload the drum. Over-  
loading can cause unnecessary  
wear and tear to the laundry and  
give a disappointing drying result.  
Load the full amount of laundry ac-  
cording to the programme chosen  
(see “Programme chart”) for the  
most economical drying related to  
the size of the load. Make sure that  
the drum is not over- or under-  
loaded.  
Shut the door with a light swing but  
do not slam it. Do not push on the  
door to shut it.  
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:  
– the type of fibre or weave  
– the degree of drying required  
– similar size of items  
– the moisture content after spinning.  
This will help towards an even drying  
result.  
Ensure the room is well ventilated.  
1Switching on and loading  
Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent  
small items from being rolled up in-  
side them.  
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and  
apron strings.  
Important: Please check that items  
of laundry cannot be trapped by the  
door, as this will cause damage to  
the fabric.  
Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.  
Press the “Door” button and open  
the door.

Various pieces of information are  
shown in the display:  
- the length of time a programme still  
has to run (time left);  
- the length of programme selected  
for timed drying;  
- the number of hours selected for the  
delay start option;  
- programmable functions as they are  
switched on or off.  
Each load should ideally be made  
up of items of the same size. The  
time left will vary more if items are of  
very different sizes. In this case the  
time may stop counting down  
shortly before the end of the pro-  
gramme, (see the "Problem solving  
guide").  
Time left indicator  
Once a programme has started, the  
electronics calculate how long the pro-  
gramme will last and the following sym-  
-
bols: ===... ==... appear in the display.  
After approximately a minute the length  
of the programme will appear and a  
countdown in minutes will commence.  
The time left can vary with each pro-  
gramme because it is dependent on  
several factors:  
– the quantity, type and residual mois-  
ture of the various items in the load;  
– variations in electrical current;  
– the surrounding temperature.  
The time left should therefore only be  
regarded as an estimate. However, to  
make this estimate as precise as  
possible, the machine has intelligent  
electronics that are capable of “learn-  
ing”. During the first 10-15 programme  
cycles, the electronics will monitor your  
individual laundry load patterns and  
adapt accordingly.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the fluff filters  
The fluff which is created by the drying  
process is collected in the fluff filters in  
the door and door opening.  
Clean the filters after every pro-  
gramme to reduce drying time and  
save energy.  
These filters should only be removed  
for cleaning with water.  
Dry the filters well after rinsing and  
put back in place.  
Cleaning the tumble dryer  
Disconnect the machine from the  
power supply.  
Open the door. Grip the filter by the  
recessed handle and pull upwards  
to remove.  
Remove the fluff from:  
– the filter in the door  
– the filters in the door opening  
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-  
jects.  
Remove any fluff from the hollow part  
of the door holder through the wide slit  
at the bottom. A cleaning brush is  
available at extra cost from the Miele  
Spare Parts Department.  
Clean . . .  
. . . the housing and control panel:  
with a mild detergent or soapy water;  
. . . the drum and other stainless  
steel parts: with a suitable proprie-  
tary stainless steel cleaner following  
the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Never use abrasive substances,  
scouring pads, glass or general pur-  
pose cleaners. These could damage  
plastic surfaces and other parts.  
The machine must never be hosed  
down.  
Push the cleaned filter back into the  
door holder and close the door.  
If there is a great deal of compacted fluff  
on the filters, they can be cleaned under  
hot running water.  
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.  
24  
 
 
Cleaning and care  
Emptying the condensed  
water container  
If the hose drain has not been fitted  
and connected, the condensed water  
will be collected in the condensed  
water container.  
The condensed water container  
should be emptied after every  
drying cycle, or as soon as the  
“Empty out container” indicator light  
comes on.  
If . . .  
. . . the condensed water container is  
full when a programme is started or  
. . . it becomes full during a drying cycle:  
– the “Empty out container” light will  
come on,  
Slide back the cap and pour the  
water away.  
Push the container back into the ma-  
chine until it engages into place.  
– the buzzer will sound,  
– the programme will be stopped,  
– the washing will be cooled down and  
the “Cool air” light will come on.  
Condensed water should not be  
drunk. It could lead to health prob-  
lems for humans and animals.  
Condensed water can be put to house-  
hold use, eg used in a steam iron or hu-  
midifier.  
Note:  
To ensure that no particles of fluff are  
left which could damage the ap-  
pliance, pass the condensed water  
through a fine sieve or paper filter.  
Pull the container out of the machine,  
gripping it firmly with both hands.  
25

Installation  
Please note the following:  
Installation  
– The appliance should never be oper-  
ated without the furniture front panel  
in place.  
The tumble dryer is specially designed  
for installation under a worktop.  
– The electrical connection point  
should be close to the appliance  
and easily accessible.  
This appliance is fitted with a protec-  
tive coverplate which replaces the  
machine lid. For reasons of electri-  
cal safety this coverplate is necess-  
ary and should not be removed.  
– The slides provided with the ma-  
chine are intended to prevent dam-  
age to floor coverings when ma-  
noeuvring the tumble dryer into  
position.  
– For installation under a work surface  
900/910 mm or 950/960 mm from  
the floor, one or two spacer frames are  
required respectively.  
Spacer frames complete with fitting in-  
structions are available from Miele  
Dealers and the Miele Spare Parts De-  
partment.

Installation  
Adjusting the adapter strips to  
the height of adjacent drawers  
The height of the adapter can be ad-  
justed in one of two ways:  
Fitting the front panel  
The front of this appliance can be fitted  
with a furniture panel to match sur-  
rounding units.  
If the unit is fitted in a Miele kitchen, a  
front panel with the appropriate dimen-  
sions and the necessary holes pre-  
drilled can be provided.  
– by altering the position of the nuts or  
– by removing strips.  
If the kitchen is from a manufacturer  
other than Miele, it is recommended  
that the panel be cut to size and  
drilled by a specialist according to  
Miele specifications.  
Front panel dimensions:  
Height: 570 mm (+10/-25 mm)  
Width: 588-596 mm  
Thickness: up to 19 mm (at the edges)  
The template provided serves to locate  
and drill the fixing holes for non-Miele  
front panels.  
Place the template along the lower  
edge of the rear of the front panel.  
Adjustment range for the adapter  
strips: max. 10 mm upwards (see ar-  
rows in the illustration).  
There are four short parallel markings  
at each corner of the template.  
For adjustment downwards to max.  
25mm additional adapter strips  
together with longer screws are avail-  
able from Miele dealers or the Miele  
Spare Parts Department.  
Use these markings to centre the  
template.  
Example:  
With a front panel width of 594 mm  
each second marking from inside must  
line up with the left and right hand out-  
side edges of the panel.  
After adjustment has been made,  
cut or pinch off any excess length  
of the plastic screw.  
36  
 
 
Installation  
Fix the front panel with the rest of the  
screws supplied and the hinge  
screws.  
Stick the template down with ad-  
hesive tape.  
There are two ways of fixing the front  
panel:  
Option 1  
Drill all the holes for the inner door  
panel to the given depths. On chip-  
board fronts: free holes (= dia. 10 mm),  
inject the silicone sealant supplied into  
the holes.  
Loosen and remove the lower screw  
of the upper hinge on the left and  
right hand sides of the door (see illus-  
tration).  
With the screws supplied fix the front  
panel by screwing through drill holes  
1 and 2 of the inner door panel (see  
template) – do not tighten.  
Align the front panel.  
Tighten the screws.  
37  
 
Installation  
Option 2  
Drill the numbered free holes and  
screw points for the inner door panel to  
the given depth.  
On chipboard fronts: free holes (= dia.  
10 mm), inject the silicone sealant sup-  
plied into the holes.  
Please note that some different holes  
are used for a left or right hand door.  
Door hinged left:  
left markings (template), holes 1,2,3,4,5  
Door hinged right:  
right markings (template), holes  
1,2,6,7,8  
Loosen and remove the lower screw  
of the upper hinge on the left and  
right hand sides of the door.
