Warning and
Safety Instructions
Read the operating instructions through be-
fore using this machine for the first time. This
way you will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine.
The tumble dryer is only intended for dry-
ing fabrics, which have been washed in a
water solution and marked on the manufac-
turer’s wash care label as being suitable for
tumble drying.
There is a danger of fire with the follow-
ing, and on no account should they be
dried in this machine:
–Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or
rubber like materials.
–Articles which have been treated with in-
flammable cleaning agents.
–Articles which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish re-
mover, etc.
–Kitchen overalls which may be greasy,
fatty or impregnated with other residues.
Do not dry mops, floor cloths etc in this ma-
chine if they contain substances such as
wax or chemical cleaning agents.
Padded or filled fabrics (eg. jackets or
cushions) should not be dried if torn or
damaged. If the filling falls out it could cause
a fire.
Some textiles get very hot during drying
and there may be a risk of high tempera-
tures causing them to ignite in exceptional cir-
cumstances. They should therefore be taken
out of the machine as soon as the programme
has finished and as soon as possible if there
has been a power cut. It is advisable to keep a
fire extinguisher near the machine at all times.
The washing must not be taken from the
dryer before the drying programme has
finished, ie, the cooling down phase must
be completed.
If hot laundry items are stacked or packed
they can be liable to auto-combustion.
Do not let children play in or near the ma-
chine and do not let them play with the
controls or operate it.
Repairs to machines operated by gas,
steam or electricity must only be carried
out by fully trained and qualified service engin-
eers. Unauthorized repairs could be danger-
ous.
The electrical safety of this appliance can
only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between the appliance and an effec-
tive earthing system which complies with local
and national regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety re-
quirement is regularly tested by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer can not be held responsible
for the consequences of an inadequate earth-
ing system.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when it is
switched off at the wall switch or when the
mains fuses are withdrawn from the distribu-
tion board.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety components, fixtures and control
elements of this machine.
Where there is any damage to the controls
or to the cable insulation the machine
must not be used until it has been repaired.
Faulty components must only be ex-
changed for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be guaran-
teed.
When disposing of an old machine, make
the door lock inoperative and remove the
fluff filter access panel. This should prevent
children at play from being accidentally locked
in and endangering their lives.
Only use the machine if all of the remov-
able outer housing parts are in place. This
way any moving parts or electrical compo-
nents cannot be accessed.

Warning and
safety instructions
The air inlet opening is situated at the
back of the machine. Under no circum-
stances should this air inlet opening be
blocked. Do not therefore cover the machine
lid of the dryer with any type of covering or
cloth.
Fire and Explosion risk
Never use or store petrol or petroleum
based substances or any easily inflammable
substances near the machine.
Fire risk
Do not use the machine without the built-in
fluff filter in place. If the fluff filter is damaged
it must be replaced immediately.
A build up of fluff could block the air flow heat-
ing and ventilation, and impair the efficiency of
the machine.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often con-
tain chlorides (salts). If these substances
dry onto the steel surfaces the residual chlo-
rides attack the steel and can cause rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage we
recommend only using chloride free disinfect-
ing and cleaning agents for washing and disin-
fecting and for cleaning the machine. If you
are not sure about a particular agent contact
the manufacturer for advice.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chloride on the machine it should be rinsed off
with water and dried with a soft cloth.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or
water jet to clean the machine.
Caution If the tumble dryer switches off
prematurely during the drying cycle, with-
out the fault indication light showing, this could
be due to high temperatures in the area of the
motor.
Heater limiters stop the tumble dryer.
In this case please check the seals and locks
on the machine door and the fluff filter.
Check the condition of the air inlet and air out-
let vents. If no damage is evident to any of
the parts checked, the dryer can be re-started.
If the fault occurs again, call the approved
Service engineer.
Safety precautions to take if you smell
gas
-For gas heated dryers only-
(Natural gas usually has no smell of its own. In
the U.K. a smell is added by British Gas for
safety reasons).
If you smell gas you must act immediately.
Extinguish any flames.
Do not create any electrical sparks:
e.g. do not insert or withdraw any electrical
plugs or operate electrical switches such
as lights and door bells.
Do not enter a room with an open light
where there is the smell of gas.
Do not light cigarette lighters or matches.
Do not smoke.
Open all doors and windows.
Close any shut off valves at the gas con-
nection meter or mains supply immediately.
Shut off the gas-valve next to the machine.
If all gas valves are closed but there is still
the smell of gas in the room you should
call you local gas board immediately.
Important: Before signing off any
commissioning, maintenance, conversion
or repair work as finished, all gas pipework
from the manual isolating valve to the
burner nozzles must be checked for sound-
ness.
Pay special attention to the test points on
the multifunction control, the connection
pressure monitor and the burner setting
pressure.
The tests must be carried out with the
burner switched on and switched off.

Warning and
safety instructions Caring for the environment
In the event of a fault or for cleaning and
maintenance the gas control valve must
be shut and the gas emergency control at the
meter shut off.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. If other parts
are used, guarantee, performance and prod-
uct liability claims may be invalidated.
All personnel working with this machine must
be fully trained in all aspects of its use and
safety.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe
place and make them available to current
and future users.
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.
Rather than just throwing these materials
away, please ensure they are offered for
recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines contain materials which can be
re-cycled. Please contact your local authori-
ties or scrap merchant about potential recy-
cling schemes, before disposing of the

Before using for the first time
Preparation of washing
Before using for the first time
Wipe the inside of the drum with a soft dry
cloth before loading the drum with laundry.
Preparing the laundry
Sort the laundry according to fabric type and
weave in order to achieve an even drying re-
sult.
Not all textiles are suitable for drying in a
tumble dryer. Therefore pay special attention
to the manufacturer’s instructions in the wash
care label.
Significance of symbols:
q= Dry at normal temperature
r= Dry at low temperature
s= Do not tumble dry
Articles made from pure wool and wool mix-
tures tend to become matted and shrink. They
should not be dried in a tumble dryer.
The surface of pure linen is liable to be rough-
ened by tumble drying. Consult the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
Important! Any laundry item with metal
buckles, hooks, eyes, zip tags etc. should be
put into the dryer in a cloth bag (eg. pillow-
case) to protect the drum from scratches and
dents.
Closed zips in garments may bridge the sen-
sor electrodes in the drum ribs causing the dry-
ing process not to end or to end too late. Items
with zips should be dried with the zips open.
Padded or filled fabrics (eg. jackets or cush-
ions) should not be dried if torn or damaged.
If the filling falls out it could cause a fire
Some woven and loopknit materials tend to
shrink to varying extents depending on their
quality. This tendency is exaggerated by over-
drying. Avoid the Extra dry programme for
such fabrics.
Starched washing can be dried in the tumble
dryer. Select the most suitable programme for
ironing by hand or machine.
Sort the laundry according to the level of dry-
ness required. It is not necessary to sort ac-
cording to size.
Duvet covers and pillow cases should be
closed to prevent smaller items rolling up in-
side them.
For greater economy dry a full load, underload-
ing is uneconomical. Do not overload as this
will impair the drying result and the laundry fin-
ish.
Switching on and loading the machine
Switch on the mains switch
(on site).
Press in the"sOn/Off" switch.
Press in the"adoor" button and open the
drum door.
Load the washing
Place the pre-sorted washing loosely into
the drum.

Programme Selection
3. The check fluff filter light comes on if the
fluff filter needs cleaning. Clean the filter as
soon as the programme has finished (see
page 14 for more details).
4. With a gas heated dryer the "Gas heating"
indicator light goes out and after approx. 5
minutes the dryer switches off if an ignition
fault had occurred. To restore operation
switch the machine off and then on again,
and press the "Start" button.If these igni-
tion faults happen frequently, please call a
Miele authorised service technician.
5. The washing must not be taken from the
dryer before the drying programme has fin-
ished, ie, the cooling down phase must
be completed.
If hot laundry items are stacked or packed
they can be liable to auto-combustion.
6. If the laundry is rinsed with hot water in the
final rinse, the residual heat in the laundry,
together with the reduced residual moisture
content, will lead to shorter processing
times and save energy.
The end of the drying programme is indi-
cated by the “~ r Anti-crease / End”
light lighting up and the buzzer sounding, if
selected.
Turn the programme selector to “rEnd”.
Press the “aDoor”button and open the

Cleaning and Care
Fluff filter
The fluff which occurs during drying is col-
lected in the fluff filter in the door.
The fluff filter should be cleaned after every
programme and whenever the “lCheck filter”
light comes on.
Take care not to damage the filter.
Open the drum door and pull the filter up-
ward out of its retainer.
Remove any fluff from the filter by hand
(do not use any sharp object to do this).
Fluff also collects in the hollow part of the
retainer. Remove any remaining fluff
through the wide slot at the lower edge.
Push the cleaned filter back down into the
retainer and close the door.
Note
If the filter is badly clogged it can be cleaned
under running water. It must be thoroughly
dried before being put back.
Dryer casing and drum
Before cleaning disconnect the machine from
the power supply via the mains switch.
For dryers with gas heating the gas manual
stop tap must be shut and the gas valve at the
entry meter shut off.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or
water jet to clean the machine.
The casing, control panel and plastic parts
of the dryer should be cleaned only with a
mild cleaning agent or a soft damp cloth
and then rubbed dry.
After drying starched washing the drum
should be wiped out with a soft damp cloth.
Never
use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the
machine.
The following should be checked by a Service
technician once a year for build up of fluff and
cleaned if necessary:
Burner and burner cavity (with gas heating),
heater element and heater shaft (with electric
heater).
The whole interior of the tumble dryer
Fins on the ventilation fan
If appropriate maintenance is not carried out
regularly the efficient running of the machine
may be impaired and operational faults repre-
senting a fire hazard can occur.

Notes for the installer
The Tumble Dryer may only be installed and
commissioned by a Service Engineer or by an
authorized Service Dealer.
Pay careful attention to the enclosed installa-
tion instructions and the installation diagram.
Do not install the dryer in a room where there
is danger of frost.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for
operation in the room where it is installed.
Ensure that the air being drawn into the ma-
chine is fresh and that it does not contain
chlorine, fluoride or solvent-vapours.
Machines heated by gas and electricity must
not be installed in the same room as dry clean-
ing machines which use solvents containing
CFCs. Escaping vapours break down into hy-
drochloric acid if ignited. This would damage
any laundry as well as the machine.
If installed in an adjacent room there must be
no exchange of air between them.
The area around the dryer - particularly
around the central air inlet must be kept free
from fluff particles, so that these do not get
taken into the machine. Any fluff trapped in the
machine could lead to operational damage.
The exhaust must not be led into a chimney
used by another gas, coal or oil-heated appli-
ance. The warm humid air should be directed
by the shortest route into the open air or into a
suitable venting duct. The duct must be de-
signed and installed to accommodate the high
throughput of air (few bends, as short a duct
as possible, well shaped and leakproof joints).
No filters or louvres should be built into the ex-
haust duct.
The connection between the exhaust ducting
and the exhaust connection on the dryer must
be airtight.
Where the exhaust is ducted directly into the
open air, the end of the duct should be pro-
tected against the weather, ideally by a down-
ward angle of 90o.
To facilitate subsequent cleaning of the duct,
cleaning flaps or covers should be fitted on the
bends wherever possible.
With upward sloping exhaust ducting a con-
densate drain must be made at the lowest
point.
The dryer is fitted with an exhaust fan which
can be heard during operation. The noise
level of the fan can be reduced by fitting a
muffle to the dryer vent stub (available from
trade outlets).
The machine does not need to be installed on
a base, however any unevenness in the floor
must be compensated for.
The machine must be installed evenly for it to
function smoothly.
To facilitate any subsequent service or mainte-
nance work, the minimum dimensions and dis-
tance required from the wall, as shown in the
installation diagram, must be observed.
15 «M.-Nr.04832650/02 - GB - »

Notes for the installer
The machine can be levelled by adjusting the
screw feet.
Once levelled the discs must be turned with a
screwdriver against the machine’s base plate.
The electrical connections to the dryer must
be in accordance with instructions given on
the installation diagram and comply with local
regulations.
Once installed in position all detachable outer
casing parts must be attached again.
Electrical connection
This machine has been constructed in accord-
ance with current safety standards and com-
plies with the following standards: IEC 335-1
and IEC 335-2-11.
The electrical connection may only be carried
out by a fully competent person in accordance
with local and national safety regulations.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Pay attention to the switching diagram sup-
plied (located in the machine behind the con-
trol panel) and the Installation diagram. These
diagrams are important for electrical connec-
tion.
The dryer may only be connected to the same
voltage and rated load as shown on the data
plate.
The electrical rating is usually set to 8.1 kW
ex works. Connection should be made via a
suitable isolator, with an on-off switch which is
easily accessible for servicing.
Ensure the leads for N and phase L are cor-
rectly connected. Do not transpose.
Connection must be undertaken by a fully
competent person.
All removable outer housing parts must be

Gas connection
The gas connection may only be carried out
by a suitably qualified (e.g. Corgi registered)
engineer, in accordance with local and na-
tional safety regulations. The enclosed instal-
lation diagram and the installation instructions
for gas must be followed to ensure correct gas
connection.
Safety regulations demand that a pressure
test nipple is installed near a gas dryer to
allow an engineer to test the pressure follow-
ing servicing.
Please pay attention to the installation dia-
gram and instructions supplied with the ma-
chine. These are important for the connection
to gas.
The gas group to which the machines have
been set at the factory is given on the Gas
Data sticker affixed to the rear of the machine.
