Operating instructions for condenser tumble dryer T 4262 C To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the machine it is essential to read these instructions before it is installed and used for the first time. G M.-Nr. 06 465 730 Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details. Energy saving tips To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy: ­ Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying. ­ Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used (see Programme chart). Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. ­ Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated. ­ Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer. ­ Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary. Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your appliance with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. 2 Contents Caring for the environment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Disposal of the packing material . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Disposal of your old appliance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Energy saving tips . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Warning and Safety instructions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Control panel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Notes on laundry care . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Care symbols . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Tips on drying . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 How to dry correctly . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Brief instructions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Low temperature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Changing the programme sequence. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Programme chart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 Cleaning and care . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Emptying the condensed water container . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Cleaning the fluff filters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Cleaning them whilst dry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Cleaning them with water . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 Cleaning the tumble dryer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 Cleaning the condenser unit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Removing the condenser unit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Checking the condenser unit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Cleaning the condenser unit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Replacing the condenser unit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 Problem solving guide. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 General problems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 Check and fault indicator lamps . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 Changing the lamp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 3 Contents After sales service . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Repairs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Appliance guarantee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Optional accessories . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Installation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 Front view. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 Installation site . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Transporting the machine to its installation site . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Building under a continous worktop / in a row of kitchen units . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Replacing the lid. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Levelling the machine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Room in which the dryer is located . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Washer -

They contain important information on its safety, installation, use and maintenance. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine. Before setting up the machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine. Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data on the data plate match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock). Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Correct use The tumble dryer is only intended for drying fabrics which have been washed in a water solution, marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. "Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up garments in a tumble dryer are increasingly available on the market. If using, do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the packaging. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation. 5 Warning and Safety instructions The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed. If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger. In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the machine guarantee. 6 Warning and Safety instructions In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electiricty supply when: ­ it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or ­ it is switched off at the mains, or ­ the mains fuse is withdrawn, or ­ the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C. 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 slipping and the water causing damage. Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health problems in both people and animals. Always keep the area around the machine free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the machine can, over time, cause blockages in the condenser unit. Operation This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in any way. The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. If they are still damp or wet when replaced there is a risk of faults occurring when the machine is used. The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place. Do not install the machine in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the machine may not be able to operate properly. There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump, hoses and / or condensed water container. 7 Warning and Safety instructions To prevent the risk of fire the following textiles must not be dried in this machine: ­ fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials. ­ items which contain damaged padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). ­ items which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents. ­ items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances. ­ items which have been soiled with oils or residues containing grease (kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.). ­ items soiled with wax or other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths). ­ items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease or oil, e.g. workwear. Such clothing may require a heavy duty detergent to get them clean. If necessary consult the detergent manufacturer for advice. Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the machine to tip up. Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the danger of: ­ children climbing onto or into the dryer or hiding things in it. ­ pets or other small animals climbing into it. 8 Safety with children This machine is not a toy. To avoid the risk of injury keep children away from the machine at all times and supervise them whilst you are using it. Do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm. Using accessories Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If non-Miele parts are used with this machine, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated. Disposal of your old machine Before discarding an old machine, switch it off at the wall socket and unplug it. Render the plug useless and cut off the cable directly behind the machine. This should be done by a competent person. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

If there are no symbols, dry at your own risk! q . . . . . . . . . Dry at normal temperature r . . . . . . . . . . Dry at a low temperature s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Do not tumble dry ­ For delicates and fabrics with the following care label r select Low temperature. ­ Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme. ­ Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. They can be partially dried using the Smoothing programme. ­ Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account. ­ Minimum iron fabrics and 100% cotton shirts or blouses tend to crease more, the greater the load. This is especially true of very fine weaves. Reduce the load or use the Minimum iron - Hand iron programme. ­ Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used. ­ 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. Tips on drying ­ Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the "Programme chart". Never overload the drum. 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. ­ Use the Automatic programme for drying mixed loads of cottons and minimum iron fabrics. ­ 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 hand care programme. 10 How to dry correctly Brief instructions The headings numbered (A, B, C ...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide to using your machine. A Sort the laundry To ensure an even drying result separate out the washed laundry and sort it according to: . . . . . the drying level required . . . the type of fibre or weave . . size . . the moisture content after spinning. Do not overload the drum. See the "Programme chart" for recommended loads for each programme. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result. ^ Before closing the door make sure the fluff filter is correctly positioned. C Load the tumble dryer ^ Press the Door button to open the door. ^ Load the laundry loosely into the drum. ,Make sure that objects e.g. detergent dispensing balls have been removed from the laundry. They could melt, and cause damage to the dryer or the laundry. ­ Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact. ­ Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from being trapped inside them. ­ Fasten hooks and eyes etc. ­ Tie fabric belts and apron strings. ­ Sew in or remove underwiring from bras. B Turn on the tumble dryer ^ Switch the dryer on by pressing the I-On/0-Off button in. The tumble dryer may be switched on after loading, saving energy as the light will not come on. Check the laundry is right inside the drum so that it cannot get trapped or damaged when the door is shut. ^ Shut the door either with a gentle swing, or lean against it and push it shut. 11 How to dry correctly D Select a programme E Start the programme ^ Press the Start button. The indicator lamp for the Start button will then change from flashing to being on constantly. The drying cycle begins. Depending on the programme selected, the drying stage reached is shown by the sequence indicator lamps on the right hand side of the control panel. Before the end of a programme ^ Turn the programme selector to the required programme. Low temperature ^ For drying particularly sensitive fabrics (care symbol r) e.g. acrylics turn the programme selector to the Low temperature position. Because the heater rating is reduced for the Low temperature setting clothes dry more slowly thus lengthening drying times. The cooling down phase takes place before the end of a programme so that the garments are not too hot to handle (the Cool air indicator lamp will come on). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase is complete. At the end of a programme The Anti-crease/Finish indicator lamp comes on. The drum will continue to rotate at intervals to prevent laundry creasing, if you do not wish to remove it immediately. The anti-crease phase lasts for an hour. There is no anti-crease phase on the Woollens handcare programme. During the anti-crease phase . . . . . . (depending on the programme selected) the indicator lamp for the drying stage reached will also light up. . . . the buzzer will sound at intervals. 12 How to dry correctly F Remove the laundry ^ Press the Door button. ^ Open the door. ^ Remove the laundry. Make sure that the drum is empty. If items are left in the dryer, they could be damaged by overdrying when the dryer is next used. ^ Switch the dryer off by pressing the l-On/0-Off button. ^ Clean the fluff filters. ^ Close the door. ^ Empty the condensed water container (where there is no external drainage of the water). ^ The condenser unit should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis. ^ Switch the dryer on with the I-On/0-Off button. The programme will continue (only with the Cottons, Minimum iron and Automatic programmes). Other programmes: ^ Press the Start button. To cancel a programme ^ Turn the programme selector to Finish or open the door. Adding or removing laundry after a programme has started ^ Press the Door button. ^ Open the door. ,Do not touch the back of the drum when adding or removing items. The drum could be very hot danger of burning. ^ Add or remove items. ^ Close the door. ^ Press the Start button. Changing the programme sequence Changing a programme while it is running As long as the cooling down phase or the anti-crease phase has not been reached, it is possible to change a programme after it has started by turning the programme selector to a different programme position. To interrupt a programme ^ Switch the machine off with the I-On/0-Off button. To continue drying: 13 Programme chart Cottons Max. load: 6 kg* Normal+, Normal**, Low temperature Fabric Single and multi-layered cottons fabrics such as towelling, jerseywear, type underwear, flannelette bed linen.

The condensed water container should be emptied after every drying cycle or as soon as the Empty out container indicator lamp comes on. The drying programme will be interrupted if the maximum level of the condensed water container is reached. The Empty out container indicator lamp comes on and the buzzer sounds. ^ Open the shutter and empty out the water. ^ To replace the container hold it at a slight angle (as when removing it) and push it in gently until you feel it click into position. ^ Before starting a new programme, first switch the machine off and then on again. The Empty out container indicator lamp will go out. Condensed water should not be consumed. It could lead to health problems for people and animals. Condensed water can be put to household use (e.g. used in a steam iron or humidifier). To ensure that any residual particles of fluff in the condensed water are removed before use, pass it through a fine sieve or paper filter first. ^ Grip the container firmly with both hands, as shown, and pull it out slightly towards the right-hand side. ^ Hold the container with both hands and carry it in a horizontal position. 16 Cleaning and care Cleaning the fluff filters The fluff which is created by the drying process is collected by the fluff filters in the door and the door opening. Clean the filters after each drying programme. Cleaning them whilst dry Tip: You can also use a vacuum cleaner. ^ Remove any fluff from the hollow part of the door holder. A cleaning brush is available as an optional extra from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department, or use a vacuum cleaner. ^ Once clean, push the filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way. ^ Also clean the door seal (2) with a damp cloth. ^ Open the door and pull the fluff filter (1) out of the door as illustrated. ^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff from the two fluff filters in the door opening. ^ Close the door. ^ Use your fingers to remove the fluff from the surface of the filter. 17 Cleaning and care Cleaning them with water If there is a great deal of compacted fluff on any of the filters, they can be removed and cleaned under hot running water. ^ To remove the fluff filter from the door holder see previous page. ^ Place the filters back in the door opening (the left and right filters are identical) with the finger holders facing upwards. See illustration. Cleaning the tumble dryer Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply. ^ Clean the housing and control panel with a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent or soapy water. ^ The drum and other stainless steel parts can be cleaned with a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaners. These could damage plastic sufaces and other parts. The machine must never be hosed down. ^ Dry all parts with a soft cloth. ^ A microfibre E-Cloth is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. It can be washed 300 times. ^ To remove the filters in the door opening, grip the holder and push upwards in the direction of the arrow to remove it. ^ Rinse the filters under hot, running water. ^ Then shake the filters until no more water droplets are visible. ^ Dry the filters thoroughly with care. ,Do not replace them if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults. ^ Push the large filter back into the door holder until it clicks into position. Ensure it is facing the correct way. 18 Cleaning and care Cleaning the condenser unit Detergent residue, hair and fine fluff from the dryer can get through the fluff filters and block the condenser unit. Dust from the room in which the dryer is installed can also get into the condenser unit and cause a blockage. Check the condenser unit at least twice a year. If the dryer is used frequently then clean the condenser unit after approx. 100 drying cycles. Removing the condenser unit ^ Turn the lever on the inner cover downwards to the vertical position. ^ Pull the cover forwards ^ Then remove it by pulling it diagonally upwards. ^ Open the service panel. The hooks at the side will prevent the panel from falling off. ^ Now remove the panel by pulling it diagonally upwards. ^ Then place it to one side. ^ Turn the lever on the condenser unit to the vertical position. 19 Cleaning and care If you cannot see any fluff: ^ Replace the condenser unit (see following page). If you can see some fluff: ^ Clean the condenser unit as described below.
