Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing
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 materi-
als away, please ensure they are offe-
red for recycling.
Disposal of your old
machine/appliance
Old machines/appliances contain mate-
rials which can be recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes. En-
sure that the machine/appliance pre-
sents no danger to children while being
stored for disposal. See the appropria-
te advice in the “Warning and safety” in-
structions.

Warning and safety instructions
Please read the operating instructi-
ons 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
machine. Keep these operating in-
structions in a safe place and ensu-
re that new users are familiar with
the content. Pass them on to any fu-
ture owners of the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution and are mar-
ked on the manufacturer’s wash care la-
bel as being suitable for tumble drying.
Any other applications may be dange-
rous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
Do not let small children play with
the machine and its controls or
operate it. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Check for visible external damage
before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
machine or appliance.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure 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 machi-
ne can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the app-
liance and an effective earthing system
which complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that
this basic safety requirement is regular-
ly tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsi-
ble for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system.
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unfo-
reseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept respon-
sibility. Repairs should only be underta-
ken by a Miele approved engineer.
In the event of a fault, or for clea-
ning purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Warning and safety instructions
7

For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable. There is a danger of
overheating.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the machi-
ne be guaranteed.
Use
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop below freezing, as temperatures
below zero could damage the machi-
ne.
Frozen condensed water in the pump,
hose and condensed water container
could also lead to damage.
If the water is drained externally
through the drain hose instead of
being collected in the condensed wa-
ter container, make sure the drain hose
is securely attached if you hang it in a
sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping
and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking
water. It can cause health pro-
blems in people and animals.
Always close the door after use to
avoid the danger of:
– someone leaning on the door which
could cause the machine to tip;
– children climbing into the machine or
hiding objects in it.
There is a danger of fire with
fabrics which:
– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-
ber-like materials;
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents;
– have been splashed with hair
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish re-
mover or similar;
– also padded items (eg cushions,
jackets) which have been damaged,
as the padding could fall out and
catch fire;
– are soiled with grease or oil.
Warning and safety instructions
8

In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestati-
on by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a cle-
an condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by
the appliance guarantee.
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.

Brief instructions
Brief description
Programmes are selected by turning
the programme selector and can be
supplemented by pressing the additio-
nal option buttons.
Press the “START” button to begin a
programme.
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.
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 achie-
ve a uniform residual moisture level.
The automatic reversing action turns
the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise
to loosen the laundry and prevent une-
ven drying, ensuring good results.
Once the required degree of dryness is
achieved, the laundry is allowed to cool
down.
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 fun-
ctions. These combinations can be sto-
red in the machine’s memory and
called up.
Please read the sections on “War-
ning and safety” and “Notes on
laundry care”.
