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
~
tumble dryer:
following textiles 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.
– 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
– items which have been splashed with phase is complete.
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
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.
Fabric conditioner and similar
~
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.

Programme duration / Estimated time
remaining
When a programme is selected, the
estimated duration (time remaining) will
appear in the display. Please be aware
that it is only an estimate!
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.
Various settings are made via the Menu
buttons.
They are used to alter or confirm the
value displayed above the vertical line.

textiles. Be particularly careful when
using the Hygiene programmes.
When purchasing these garments it
is advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.
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 garments made from very fine
weave fibres, such as shirts or
blouses, use the Shirts programme to
avoid creasing. If in doubt, reduce
the load or use the Smoothing
programme.
– For delicates and fabrics with the
following care label r select Low
temperature.
– 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.
– Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
– 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.
– 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.

Air taken in for use in the drying
process will be warm when it is
expelled from underneath the dryer.
This expelled air heats up the air in the
room. It is therefore very important to
ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated, particularly if the dryer is
located in a small room. Otherwise
running times and energy consumption
could be increased.

combined with a Miele washing
machine in a washer-dryer stack. To do
this the appropriate stacking kit (WTV)
(available to order) is required.
^ Turn the 4 screw feet to adjust the
dryer to the correct height and level.
Longer screw feet are available as an
optional accessory. Unscrew and
remove the feet supplied with the
dryer before fitting the longer screw
feet.
