Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
To prevent the risk of fire, the  
~
following must not be dried in this  
To prevent the risk of fire, the  
~
following textiles must not be dried in  
tumble dryer:  
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.  
– 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 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.  
– 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).  
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

remover or similar substances.  
Ensure that you always wait until the  
end of the programme before removing  
the laundry.  
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.  
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.

products must be used according to  
the instructions on the manufacturer's  
packaging.

Programmable functions  
The programmable functions can be  
used to tailor drying programmes to suit  
your individual requirements. In

show the function selected.  
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 dryer 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.

– Starched laundry can be dried in the  
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual  
finish, double the amount of starch  
should be used.  
– Use the Automatic programme for  
drying mixed loads of cottons and  
minimum iron fabrics.  
– 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 appliance.  
Dark coloured fibres can also settle  
on light coloured garments and vice  
versa.  
– 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 partially dried using the Woollens  
handcare programme.

Installation - venting  
General  
Avoid:  
– very long ducting systems  
Important  
– too many bends or corners, tight  
corners  
Before operating the tumble dryer, a  
suitable ducting system must be  
installed to carry the moist air from  
the dryer to the outside. This can be:  
. . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic  
piping connected to the dryer, or  
. . . the dryer may be connected  
directly to the wall vent.  
Otherwise the drying result will be less  
effective and it will take longer and use  
more energy.  
Suitable materials  
– for the ventilation ducting:  
flexible ducting* or plastic piping with  
a diameter of at least 100 mm.  
– Before installing the ducting system,  
ensure that the appliance is not  
connected to the power supply.  
– for venting to the outside:  
a wall pipe kit* or a window vent kit*.  
– The ducting outlet (e.g. wall pipe)  
should be installed in such a way that  
the moist expelled air . . .  
* Available as an optional accessory  
from your Miele dealer or the Miele  
Spare Parts Department.  
. . . cannot be drawn back into the  
room in which the dryer is installed;  
. . . cannot cause any damage to the  
building or other nuisance.  
Procedure  
^ First measure the duct length  
required. Calculate the effective duct  
length and establish the internal duct  
diameter required (use the tables on  
the next page).  
– The dryer uses the room air. It is  
therefore essential to ensure  
adequate ventilation to avoid the  
danger of asphyxia caused by gases  
given off by other appliances being  
drawn back into the room. Insufficient  
ventilation will also cause drying  
times to be considerably longer.  
Ventilation can be maintained by:  
- an open window;  
^ Then decide which type of ducting  
you want to use (see "Venting  
systems" in this section).  
- an air inlet which cannot be  
blocked in windows, doors and  
outside wall vents;  
- a window switch which prevents  
the dryer being used when the  
window is closed.

Installation - venting  
Calculating the effective duct  
length :  
2. Internal duct diameter  
^ Refer to Table II for the appropriate  
duct diameter required.  
Friction against the inner walls of the  
ducting will slow down the expelled air  
as it passes through. An elbow, bend,  
non-return flap or wall vent creates  
more friction than a straight duct. The  
friction created by each of these is  
expressed as an additional duct  
length factor. The additional length  
factors are calculated by comparing the  
friction created by, for example, an  
elbow to that created by 1 metre of  
straight plastic piping (Table I).

A larger internal duct diameter also  
helps reduce friction. If the effective

duct diameter should be increased  
(Table II).

Installation - venting  
b Plastic piping  
Example  
Plastic piping is a good option where  
the vented air has to ducted for some  
distance. The smooth walls of the  
pipe create less friction for the vented  
air than the walls of a flexible vent  
hose, for example. Time and energy  
consumption are better with plastic  
piping.  
The following items are required:  
– An adapter* (C 100 mm).  
– A wall vent kit* or window vent kit*.  
– Suitable piping (C 100 mm) is  
available from your dealer or builders  
merchants. Where the pipe diameter  
is more than 100 mm, an adapter is  
necessary (e.g. from C 100 to 125  
mm) to connect the pipe to the dryer.  
1. Wall vent kit  
(Separate fitting instructions are  
supplied with the Miele wall vent kit).

Side view:  
The best method of venting the dryer  
is to connect it directly to the outside  
wall of a room. Time and energy  
consumption are better with plastic  
piping. This involves boring through  
an outside wall.  
A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gasket*  
must be used
