Operating and installation instructions
for vented tumble dryer
PT 5136 OS
To avoid the risk of accidents or
damage to the machine, it is
essential to read these instructions
before it is installed, commissioned
and used for the first time. M.-Nr. 06 624 270
en-EX

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
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 machine.
Please do not therefore dispose or it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless, and
the cable cut off directly behind it to
prevent misuse.
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 a poorer quality of
drying, and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
–After every cycle, remove the fluff
from the fluff filter in the door.
–Check all parts of the ventilation on a
regular basis, and remove any
build-up of fluff.
–The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.

~It is essential to read these
instructions.
This tumble dryer conforms to
current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however,
lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the tumble dryer, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on its
safety, installation, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that they are
made available to new users. They
must be made aware of these
warning and safety instructions.
Pass these instructions on to any
future users/owners of the tumble
dryer.
Correct application
~This tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, and marked
on the manufacturer's care label as
being suitable for tumble drying.
"Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up
garments in a tumble dryer are
increasingly available on the market. If
using, do so at your own risk, and
follow the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable
for damage resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
~This tumble dryer is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience or knowledge, unless they
are supervised whilst using it or have
been shown how to use it by a person
responsible for their safety.
~Keep children away from the tumble
dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury do not allow
them to play on or near it or to play with
its controls. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm, and supervise children
whilst you are using it.
Technical safety
~Before setting up the tumble dryer,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble
dryer.
~Do not make any alterations to the
tumble dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~The electrical safety of this tumble
dryer can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and
an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and
where there is any doubt the on-site
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).
~Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
tumble dryer until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
tumble dryer be guaranteed.
~To ensure the correct performance
of the machine and to prevent the risk
of faults and fire, it is important to check
the machine and carry out maintenance
on a regular basis.
~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 disconnected.
~This tumble dryer may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
tumble dryer 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.
Correct use
~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
door, as this can cause the tumble
dryer to tip up. Danger of injury.
~Always close the door after use. This
way you will avoid the danger of:
–children climbing onto or into the
dryer or hiding things in it.
–pets or other small animals climbing
into it.
~The tumble dryer must not be hosed
down.
~Always keep the area around the
tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust
drawn into the appliance can, over
time, cause blockages. Faults can then
occur as well as the risk of fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~The tumble dryer must only be used
when it is connected to a suitable
ducting system. The installation site
must be adequately ventilated.
~The ducting must not be connected
to
–a chimney or vent flue which is in
use,
–or to ducting which ventilates rooms
with fireplaces,
–or to chimneys being used by other
appliances.
Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause
poisoning.
~Check all parts of the extraction
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall
vent, external grille, bends in the
ducting etc.) and make sure they are all
free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff
will prevent a free flow of air through the
system. If the dryer is to be connected
to an existing ducting system, this must
be checked for suitability beforehand.
~Adequate ventilation is essential to
avoid the danger of asphyxia and
toxic fumes where another appliance
which also uses the room air (e.g. gas,
oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow
or other water heater) is installed in the
same or an adjacent room.
To ensure safe operation, and to
prevent gases given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the
maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by:
–air inlets in the external wall which
cannot be closed or blocked, or
–by fitting a window contact switch
which ensures that the tumble dryer
can only be operated when the
window is opened wide enough.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent
builder must be sought.
~If more than one tumble dryer is
being installed using a joint ducting
system, each dryer must have its own
non-return flap to the joint ducting
system.
Otherwise the dryers could be
damaged, endangering their electrical
safety.
~The fluff filter must be cleaned
regularly.
~The dryer must not be used without
the fluff filter in place or if the fluff filter
is damaged in any way. Damaged
filters can cause operational faults and
blockages in the airways, heating
elements and ducting. Fire hazard!
In the event of a damaged filter, switch
the dryer off and replace the filter with a
new one.
~Do not install the tumble dryer in a
room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the tumble dryer may not
be able to operate properly.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +50°C
Warning and Safety instructions

~To prevent the risk of fire, the
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.
– items which have been treated with
inflamable cleaning agents or
contain residues of acetone, alcohol,
benzine, petrol, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or
other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
– items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
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 prevent the risk of fire, the
following textiles or products must not
be dried in this tumble dryer:
–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.
–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.
~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.
~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.
~Fabric conditioner and similar
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any
easily flammable liquid must not be
stored or used near the tumble dryer.
Fire and explosion risk!
~Do not allow air contaminated with
chlorine, fluorine or other vapours
containing solvents to get into the
tumble dryer. Fire hazard.
~For tumble dryers with stainless
steel surfaces:
The stainless steel surfaces must not
come into contact with liquid cleaning
and disinfecting agents which contain
chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These
agents can have a corrosive effect on
stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
can also be corrosive.
Do not store containers of these agents
near the machine.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this machine. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

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 electronics continually assess
conditions in the machine 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, the Woollens
handcare and Smoothing programmes
can finish earlier than expected if a
certain temperature is reached. This
can happen with particularly fine
fabrics or if items were partly dry
beforehand.

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 rselect Low
temperature.
–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 "fluffed up" using the Woollens
handcare programme.
–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.
– Minimum iron fabrics and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the larger the load,
particularly when the weave of the
fabric is very fine.
Reduce the load or use the Shirts
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.

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A,B,C...
show the operating sequence, and can
be used as a brief guide to operating
your machine.
ASort the laundry
To ensure an even drying result,
separate out the washed laundry and
sort it according to: . .
. . . the drying level required
. . . the type of fibre or weave
. . . size
. . . the moisture content after spinning.
,Make sure that objects, e.g.
detergent dispensing balls, have
been removed from the laundry.
They could melt and cause damage
to the dryer or the laundry.
– Check seams and stitching to ensure
that padding and linings are intact.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow
