Cleaning the tumble dryer Disconnect the dryer from the mains electricity supply. ^ Fit the filter back on the handle. Make sure it is the correct way round.
Problem solving guide With the help of the following notes, minor faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right without contacting the Service Department. However, please note: ,Repair work to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Problem solving guide Problem Possible cause Remedy The Clean the filters indicator light comes on at the end of the programme. This is a reminder to clean the fine filter in front of the heat exchanger unit under running water. – Clean the fine filter. – See "Cleaning and care". To switch off the Clean the filters indicator light: – Remove, clean and replace the fine filter with the tumble dryer switched on.
Problem solving guide An unsatisfactory drying result Problem Possible cause Remedy The laundry is not sufficiently dry. The load consisted of different fabrics. – Finish drying using the Warm air programme. – Select a different programme next time. Note: You can alter the residual moisture level for some programmes See "Programmable functions". Laundry or feather filled pillows smell after drying. – Laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Problem solving guide Other problems Problem The drying process goes on too long or even switches off. Possible cause Remedy * Ventilation to and from the dryer may be insufficient, e.g. because it is installed in a room which is too small. This can cause the temperature in the room to rise sharply. – Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fluff filters and the fine filters. – The cooling ribs can be clogged. Open a door or window while the dryer is in operation for increased air flow.
Problem solving guide Problem Possible cause These noises are quite normal and do not indicate a fault. The programme does No obvious cause. – Is the dryer switched on? not start. – Is the plug correctly inserted into the socket and switched on? – Is the door closed properly? – Has the fuse or circuit breaker tripped? – If you cannot remedy the problem, then there could be a fault. Contact Miele Service. Power cut. When power is restored, any programme which was running will restart automatically.
Problem solving guide Cleaning the cooling fins (bottom right grille) ,In general, the cooling fins do not need cleaning. They should only be cleaned if the drying process is taking an exceptionally long time due to a very high level of dust or fluff in the room in which the dryer is installed. ,To prevent damaging the cooling fins, only pass the vacuum cleaner brush over them lightly, without applying any pressure. Use the yellow lever supplied to open the bottom right grille.
Problem solving guide Changing the lamp Disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains electricity supply. ^ Open the door. You will find the interior light cover at the top of the drum aperture.

Installation and connection Installation site ,Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation. ,The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer must not be blocked or covered, e.g. by a laundry basket, as this would cause a fault. Building under a continuous worktop/ in a row of kitchen units ,It is very important to avoid a build-up of heat. The warm air which is expelled from the rear of the dryer must be able to dissipate.
Installation and connection Levelling the appliance Before moving the tumble dryer again (e.g. when moving house) After each use a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the area around the pump. This water can run out if the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is being moved. It is a good idea to run the Cool air programme for approximately 1 minute before moving it. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose.
Installation and connection External condensed water outlet General notes ^ There will be a small amount of residual water in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this. When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained off directly if the tumble dryer is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.
Installation and connection External drainage via a sink or gully ^ See "Front view" illustration. ,If you want to drain the water off into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage. Example: Connection to a sink drain outlet The drain hose with non-return valve fitted can be connected directly to a suitable sink drain outlet.
Installation and connection ^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2. If this nut has a flat disc in it you should take the disc out first. ^ Attach the end of hose 4 to adapter 1. ^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip 3 up close to the nut. 1 Adapter 2 Nut 3 Hose clip 4 End of the hose 5 Non-return valve 6 Tumble dryer drain hose 46 ,Non-return valve 5 has to be fitted with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow (i.e. towards the sink).
Electrical connection Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

Programmable functions Adjusting the dryer's electronics for very soft water ,In some areas of the UK, water is extremely soft which can affect the sensitivity of the control electronics. If the dryer is installed in an area of very soft water, you should contact your local water supplier for information and advice regarding water hardness and water conductivity. If the water conductivity is less than 150 µS, the following programmable function will need to be activated. Important.
Programmable functions Extending the range of the drying levels You can extend the range of the drying levels for many of the programmes: Machine iron+ (drier than Machine iron). Slightly dry (drier than Hand iron). Normal+ (drier than Normal). This programmable function is only available for programmes with drying levels.
