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 ma-

terials away, please ensure they are of-

fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old

machine/appliance

Old machines/appliances contain ma-

terials 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 pres-

ents no danger to children while being

stored for disposal. See the appropri-

ate advice in the “Warning and safety”

instructions.

Caring for the environment

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.

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.

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 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.

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:

– the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Warning and safety instructions

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 ma-

chine 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 ma-

chine.

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

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.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health prob-

lems 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 fab-

rics which:

– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-

ber-like materials;

– have been treated with inflammable

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;

– are soiled with grease or oil.

Warning and safety instructions

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infesta-

tion by cockroaches or other vermin,

pay particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any dam-

age which may be caused by cock-

roaches 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.

Warning and safety instructions

Brief instructions

Brief description

Programmes are selected by turning

the programme selector and can be

supplemented by pressing the addi-

tional 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

and compensate for variations to

achieve a uniform residual moisture

level.

The automatic reversing action turns

the drum clockwise and anti-clockwise

to loosen the laundry and prevent

uneven 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

functions. These combinations can be

stored in the machine’s memory and

called up.

Please read the sections on “Warn-

ing and safety” and “Notes on

laundry care”.

1Switching the machine on and

loading the laundry

Switch on by pressing the “I-On/0-

Off” button.

Press the “Door” button to open the

door.

Place the laundry loosely in the drum.

Close the door.

2Selecting a programme

Turn the programme selector to the

drying level you require.

3Selecting additional options

Press the buttons to switch addi-

tional options on or off as required.

4Starting the programme

Press the “START” push button.

Brief instructions

Notes on laundry care

Before drying, check the drying sym-

bol on the textile care label.

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

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).

For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select

"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low

temperature" button.

Never overload the drum. Always

observe the maximum recom-

mended loads given in the “Pro-

gramme chart”. Overloading can

cause unnecessary wear and tear

to the laundry, give a disappointing

drying result and cause more creas-

ing.

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, however,

be partially dried using the “Woollens

hand care” programme.

– Down-filled items*

The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,

depending on the quality.

– Pure linen*

These items should only be machine

dried if specified as suitable by the

manufacturer on the textile care label,

as the surface of the fabric may other-

wise “roughen”.

* Linen and down-filled items can, how-

ever, be partially dried using the

“Smoothing” programme.

Notes:

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.

Starched washing can be dried in the

tumble dryer. In order to achieve the

usual finish, double the amount of

starch should be used.

Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton

shirts or blouses tend to crease more,

when larger loads being dried, particu-

lary when the weave of the fabric is

very fine. Reduce the load or use the

Special care “Minimum iron – Hand

iron” programme. If this is unsatisfac-

tory use the “Smoothing” setting, then

hang the garments on a hanger to dry.

New dark-coloured fabrics should be

dried separately from light-coloured

fabrics to avoid colours running.

Notes on laundry care

How to dry correctly

Hints on saving energy

Make sure that your laundry has been

thoroughly spun at the highest appro-

priate spin speed before drying. Spin-

ning at 1600 rpm, for example, saves

approximately 30% energy and time

compared with 800 rpm.

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 underloaded.

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.

Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.

Press the “Door” button and open

the door.

Make sure there is no washing

detergent dispenser among the

laundry, as this could melt and dam-

age the machine and the laundry.

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.

Close the door.

Important: Please check that items

of laundry cannot be trapped by the

door, as this will cause damage to

the fabric.

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.

Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

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,

–the buzzer will sound,

–the programme will be stopped,

–the washing will be cooled down and

the “Cool air” light will come on.

Pull the container out of the machine,

gripping it firmly with both hands.

Slide back the cap and pour the

water away.

Push the container back into the ma-

chine until it engages into place.

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.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the condenser unit

The machine must be disconnected from

the electricity supply before cleaning.

Check the condenser unit at least twice a

year and clean it if necessary. If the dryer is

used frequently then clean the condenser

unit after approx. 100 drying cycles.

Keep hold of the outer condenser

unit cover while removing it, then

place it to one side.

Turn the inner cover lock downwards

to the vertical position.

Pull the cover off.

Turn both the levers on the conden-

ser unit to the vertical position.

Cleaning and care

Pull the condenser unit out.

Clean the condenser unit at both

ends (front and back).

Wipe the rubber seals at both ends

gently but thoroughly.

Clean the two long sides of the unit.

Stand the condenser unit lengthwise

on a towel until it is quite dry.

Replace the condenser unit correctly

(see illustration above left).

Return both levers on the condenser

unit to the horizontal position.

Pull forwards on the unit to check

that it is firmly in place.

Replace the inner cover and check

that it is also firmly in place, other-

wise water may leak from the ma-

chine.

Reposition the outer cover and push

back into place.

Problem solving guide

What to do if ...

Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired ma-

chines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

What to do if . . . Cause . . . Remedy . . .

. . . the tumble dryer fails to

start when switched on

This may be due to an incorrect

selection procedure sequence

when switching on the machine.

Repeat the switch-on procedure

(see section on “Drying

correctly”). Also check the

following:

–Is the machine plugged in at

the mains switch?

–Is the door closed properly?

–Was the “”I-On/0-Off” button

pushed in?

–Was the “START” button

pushed in?

–Has the fuse or circuit

breaker tripped? If so,

contact the Miele Service

Department.

. . . items made of synthetic

fibres are charged with static

electricity after drying

Static charge can be reduced

by adding a fabric conditioner

for the final rinse in the washing

machine.

. . . the laundry is not suffi-

ciently dry

The load consists of different

fabrics.

Select a more suitable drying

programme next time.

. . . 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, as has been established by research institutes, has no effect

on the lifetime of fabric.

Problem solving guide

What to do if . . . Cause . . . Remedy . . .

. . . the drying process goes

on too long.

Ventilation to and from the dryer

is insufficient (eg in a small

room). This could cause the

room temperature to rise sharply.

Open a door or window while

the machine is in operation for

increased air flow.

The vent below the door is

blocked.

Remove any objects that are

blocking the vent below the

door.

The dryer cannot blow air out

correctly. –Clean the fluff filters in the

door and the door opening.

–Clean the condenser unit.

The laundry was not sufficiently

spun.

Spin the laundry in the washing

machine at the highest possible

spin speed.

. . . water droplets appear at

the upper edge of the drum

aperture.

A double filter system with dual

insulation prevents fluff from

being deposited in the

condenser unit. This insulation

can lead to a build-up of

condensation.

Laundry being removed from

the machine may come into

contact with these water

droplets, but they will dry off in

a matter of minutes.

. . . water leaks from the ma-

chine after the condenser unit

has been cleaned.

The condenser unit has not

been correctly locked into place.

Ensure that the condenser unit

and cover are firmly in position

and lock into place again.

. . . the interior drum lighting

does not come on.

It only lights up when the

machine is switched on. The

bulb may be defective.

Change the bulb. See

instructions at the end of this

section.

. . . you need to open the door

during a power cut.

See instructions at the end of

this section.

The condenser unit may be

blocked because it has not

been cleaned for a long time.

–Switch the dryer off with the

"l-On/0-Off" button.

–Please note that the

condenser unit must be

cleaned regularly (see

"Cleaning and care").

. . . the programme is interrupted

and the “Anti-crease/Finish”

light comes on.

If there is no laundry in the drum when the programme is started,

the electronics will register this and stop the programme. The

programme will also be interrupted if the laundry placed in the drum

is already dry.

After sales service

Installation

The machine must be perfectly level to

ensure safe and proper operation.

Minor differences do not, however,

have an adverse effect on operation.

The screw feet can be adjusted to

compensate for any uneveness in

the floor surface.

The ventilation slots beneath the door

must on no account be blocked as

this will prevent a sufficient intake of

cold air.

The UBT/UBW building under kit

cannot be used with sloping facia

machines.

The machine complete with its own lid

which must not be removed can still be

slid under a worktop, if there is enough

space.

The machine must be allowed to jut out

sufficiently for the control panel not to

be obscured.

The tumble dryer can also be com-

bined with a Miele washing machine in

a washer and dryer stack. For this pur-

pose the appropriate stacking kit* to

match your washing machine is re-

quired.

*Available from your Miele dealer.
