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.
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.
For safe ty reason s, do not use an ex- ten sion ca ble . There is a dan ger of over heat ing. 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or for clean- ing purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn.
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.

How to dry correctly Hints on saving energy Make sure that yo ur laun dry has been thoro ughly spun at the hi ghest ap pro- priate spin speed before drying. Spin - ning at 1600 rpm, for exampl e, saves appr oxima tely 30 % energy and tim e comp ared with 800 r pm.

"Clean out airways" indicator light This indicator light shows that the dryer is not working most efficiently or econ- omically. The causes of this check message can be: – the fluff filter in the door is blocked; – the vent ducting or the ventilation out- let is blocked; – the vent ducting is very long.
Altering a programme Once a programme has started, no changes to the programme or addi- tional options will be accepted. If the programme selector is turned to a different programme after a pro- gramme has begun, the “ Drying ” indi- cator light will flash.

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. A ventil ation gap of 10 mm must be maint aine d betwee n the b otto m of the machin e an d the floor .
Installation - venting The moist air from the dryer must be vented via a ducting system. When installing avoid : – very long venting sy stems – too many bends or corners – tight corners otherwise the drying result will be les s effective and it will take longer and use more energy.
A short passage for the exp elled air is preferable to ensure the tumble dryer functions as efficiently as possible. Ex- pelled air is slowed down in the vent duct by friction against the inner walls of the duct. The shorter and smoother the inner walls, the less friction occurs.
Tabl e II Effective duct length Internal diameter 0 - 20 m 20 - 30 m 30 - 43 m 43 - 60 m 100 mm 110 mm 120 mm 130 mm Flexible ducting has been used for the following example. See Table I for addi- tional duct length factors for other types of ducting.
Insta ll ing se ve ral machi nes: We recommend that when several ma- chines are being installed each ma- chine should be fitted with a non-return flap (available from a good builders ’ merchant). This will prevent odours being transferred and the build up of condensation in the machines which are not in use.
Moist air can be ducted outside by a wall vent kit or window vent kit, both of which are available from the Miele Spare Parts Department. Example: Wall vent kit 1. Louvre frame 2. Wal l pipe 3. Connecting piece 4. Louvred grille 5. Flap 6. Wood screw 7.
