The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tumble
dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the tumble dryer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the tumble dryer as well as the safety instructions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.

on to any future owner.
When instructing other people how to use the tumble dryer, they
must be made aware of these safety and warning instructions.
Correct application
This tumble dryer is only intended for drying fabrics which have
been washed in a water solution, and 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. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
7

8
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-
ible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised
to do so by Miele.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the tumble dryer.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty. Ensure current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must always be re-
placed by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user
from danger.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to pre-
vent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer
is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or the mains fuse is disconnected
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applic-
able), or it is switched off at the isolator switch.
See “Installation - Electrical connection”.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Please observe the instructions in “Installation”, “Installation of the
ducting” and “Technical data”.
The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured, in order to
separate the tumble dryer from the mains. All electrical work should
be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in
strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made
on site to switch off all poles to disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
Do not install a lockable door, a sliding door or a door which is
hinged in the opposite direction to the dryer door.
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. relating to temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7 kg (dry weight).The
maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are given
in the Programme chart.
Do not lean on the door. Otherwise, the tumble dryer may tip over,
causing injury to yourself or others.
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.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff. Dust drawn into the dryer can, over time, cause blockages.
Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has
been installed and the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation of the ducting”.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
The ducting must never be installed in any of the following flues or
shafts.
– Chimneys or smokestacks that are in use.
– Shafts that are used to ventilate installation rooms with fireplaces.
– Flues that are used by third parties.
Smoke or exhaust gas that is fed back into the flue or shaft may be
toxic.
Reverse suction of exhaust gases may result in a risk of suffoca-
tion and poisoning if gas-powered flow heaters, gas-powered room
heaters, coal ovens connected to the flue, etc., are installed in the
same room, in the same dwelling or in neighbouring rooms and the
pressure is 4Pa or less.
The following measures for suitable room ventilation (examples) can
help to prevent negative pressure in the installation area:
– Installing vents that cannot be closed in the exterior walls.
– Window switch: The tumble dryer can only be switched on when
a window is open.
Please always seek approval from the appropriate authority (GasSafe
engineer, chimney sweep etc.) to confirm that the appliance can be
operated without risk and that negative pressure of over 4Pa can be
prevented.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Regularly check all components in the ducting (e.g. wall pipe, ex-
ternal grille, bends, elbows, etc.) to make sure air can move through
them and to ensure that they are working properly. Clean components when necessary. Fluff deposits in the ducting system will prevent the air from being extracted properly and, as a result, will stop
the tumble dryer from working properly.
If existing ducting is due to be used, it must be checked before being connected to the tumble dryer.
The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.
Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a
damaged fluff filter. This could lead to malfunctions. Fluff can clog
the air channels, heating elements and ducting, which could result in
a fire.
Stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace the damaged fluff filter.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
frost. At temperatures around freezing point, the tumble dryer may
not be able to operate properly.
The permitted room temperature is between 2°C and 35°C.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this tumble dryer:
– 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 deposits (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 that have been soiled with substances such as acetone,
petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths) should
be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the tumble dryer.
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing very heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt wash
several times before drying.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
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 phase
is complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Fire hazard.
This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device).
The tumble dryer may only be operated with a peak-load device if
this is connected to the tumble dryer via the Miele XCI box and the
relevant settings have been configured on the tumble dryer.
There is a risk of the laundry igniting itself if the drying programme is
cancelled before the cooling phase has finished.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this tumble dryer:
– items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
– 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.
– Fabrics which contain damaged padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it
igniting in the dryer.
The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many pro-
grammes are followed by the cooling phase to ensure that the items
are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also reduces
the risk of the laundry self-igniting).
Always remove all laundry as soon as the programme has finished.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not
be stored or used near the machine. Danger of explosion.
Do not expose the dryer to air which is contaminated with vapour
of chlorine, fluorine or other solvents. Danger of fire.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
For tumble dryers with stainless steel surfaces:
The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless
steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.
Do not store containers of these agents near the tumble dryer.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
The tumble dryer can also be combined with a Miele washing ma-
chine in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit
(available to order) to match your dryer is required.
Make sure that you order the correct plinth for this tumble dryer
(available from Miele as an optional accessory).
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

1. Notes on correct laundry care
Washing
– Heavily soiled laundry must be
washed particularly thoroughly. Use
sufficient detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
– New, coloured items must be washed
thoroughly and separately. Do not dry
these items with light coloured garments. There is the risk of colours
running and discolouring other garments or even plastic components in
the tumble dryer. Dark coloured fluff
can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.
Drying
Damage due to foreign objects
which were not removed from the
laundry.
Foreign objects can melt, burn, or
explode.
Ensure that any foreign objects, e.g.
detergent dispensing balls, lighters,
etc., have been removed from the
laundry.
– Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.

Programme duration/Estimated time remaining
The programme duration depends on
the quantity of laundry, the type of fabric and the residual moisture in the
laundry or also the water hardness. The
running time for drying level programmes can therefore vary or “jump”.
The tumble dryer's electronic control
system adapts to these factors and
then adjusts the displayed programme
duration with increasing accuracy.
The drying level reached is displayed if
a drying level programme is running.

Problem solving guide
Unsatisfactory drying results
ProblemCause and remedy
The laundry is not sufficiently dry.
Large items of laundry
have rolled up, causing
a problem. The individual items of laundry
are still damp.
Laundry or feather filled
pillows smell after drying.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
There is a build-up of
fluff.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Timed drying warm air pro-
gramme.
The laundry could not be disentangled in the programme you selected. Smaller items have rolled up
into one.
Disentangle the laundry.
Select the Large items programme.
If the Large items programme does not appear in the
display for selection, you can activate it subsequently.
How to activate a programme subsequently is described in “Supervisor level” – “Opening the Supervisor level” and “Programme packages”.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite normal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
Allow feather pillows to air after tumble drying.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
conditioner to the final rinse in the washing programme or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load
when drying.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are being washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to
form and has no appreciable effect on the lifetime of
the fabric.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and fine filter and
can be easily removed
(see “Cleaning and care”).
52
The drying cycle duration is very long
ProblemCause and remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.*
In some circumstances, you may be asked to clean
the air channels/filters.
Check for all of the possible causes described be-
low.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the filters.
Clean the fluff filter (see “Cleaning and care”).
Clean the air supply area.
You can remove the cover in the loading area to
clean the air supply area underneath.
The ducting or its openings are clogged with hair or
fluff, for example.
The air supply situation is not adequate in small, unventilated rooms.
While drying, open the door or window for ventila-
tion.
The laundry is too damp.
Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
The drum is too full.
Do not exceed the maximum load for the pro-
gramme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented
the tumble dryer from registering the correct moisture
level.
Open any zips next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Timed drying warm air programme.
Problem solving guide
* Switch the tumble dryer off; wait a short while before starting a new programme.

Electrical connection
This description applies to tumble dryers both with and without a mains
plug.
The following applies to tumble dryers
with a mains plug:
– This tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable and plug ready for connection.
– The electrical socket must be easily
accessible so that the tumble dryer
can be disconnected from the electricity supply.
Damage caused by incorrect
supply voltage.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating.
Compare the specifications on the
data plate with those of the mains
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.
The tumble dryer may only be connected to a permanent electrical system
that conforms to the national and local
codes and regulations.
The tumble dryer should never be connected by an extension cable, e.g.
power strips, to avoid the risk of fire.
The plug connector or isolator switch
should be easily accessible at all times.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
If the tumble dryer is disconnected
from the mains, protective measures
must be taken to ensure that the
point of disconnection cannot accidentally be switched on again.
Make sure the isolator is lockable or
the point of disconnection is monitored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the
system, or servicing of the earthing
conductor, including determining the
correct fuse amperage, must be carried
out by a qualified electrician, as they
are familiar with the pertinent regulations and the specific requirements of
the electric utility company.
If converting the tumble dryer to an
alternative voltage, observe the instructions in the wiring diagram.
Conversion must be performed by
Miele Service or by an authorised
Miele Service dealer.
The tumble dryer must not be connected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off automatically.
If the machine is hard wired, a dual circuit breaker must be provided on-site.
When switched off there must be an allpole contact gap of at least 3mm in the
isolator switch (including miniature circuit breaker, switch, fuses and relays
according to IEC/EN60947). This connection process must be performed by
a qualified electrician.
Single phase AC 230 V – country variant 230V 25A
This device is intended for connection
to a power supply system where the

Installation of the ducting
General principles concerning
exhaust air management
Damage caused by incorrectly
installed or missing ducting.
Moist air from the tumble dryer can
cause damage in the room where the
appliance is installed.
Please observe the instructions in
“Installation of the ducting”.
Inconveniences (odours) or dam-
age (moisture) caused by improper
installation of the ducting opening.
The air from the tumble dryer can
result in inconveniences or damage.
Install the opening to the ducting far
away from windows, doors or other
openings.
While installing the ducting, keep the
tumble dryer disconnected from the
mains power supply.
Try to keep the ducting as short as
possible and try to avoid too many
tight bends or elbows. This will help to
stop a reduced dryer performance
with long programme times and excessive time and energy consumption.
Tip: Use any parts marked with a * (extra accessories):
– Ducting with a minimum diameter
of 100mm
e.g. exhaust hose* (made from plastic
or aluminium) or a plastic waste water pipe (HT piping systems)
General principles concerning
the air supply
The air drawn into the appliance for
the drying process is extracted from
the ambient air. You must therefore
ensure that the room is sufficiently
ventilated.
Risk of suffocation due to the
use of fireplaces or other technical
equipment in the area of influence in
the installation room.
The tumble dryer extracts the air it
needs to dry items from the ambient
air. This could result in exhaust
gases from fireplaces or technical
equipment being drawn back into the
appliance.
When drying, always apply measures
to ensure sufficient room ventilation
in accordance with these operating
instructions.
Measures for sufficient room ventilation
– Open any windows wide
– Install a window contact switch: the
tumble dryer's electrical connection
only switches when a window is open
– Install a vent that cannot be closed in
the outer wall: approx. 237cm
2
– Opening to the ducting
e.g. wall pipe* or window connection*

The entire ducting system (including
bends and components) generates air
resistance that pushes against the exhaust air. The relative pipe lengths and
total ducting length have to be calculated for this reason:
– The relative pipe length (table I)
indicates how much greater the air
resistance of a bend is, for example,
when compared to 1metre of a
straight plastic waste water pipe.
– Adding all of these relative pipe
lengths together gives the totalducting length. This is not the actual
length but a calculated figure. The
total ducting length (tableII) expresses the air resistance of the entire exhaust air system.
Because a larger pipe diameter (tableII) reduces the air resistance, a
longer total duct length requires a
greater pipe diameter.
Procedure
Measure the length needed for the
straight sections of ducting. Multiply
the length by the corresponding relative pipe length from tableI.

Sample calculation
AWall pipe, with inserted grille
= 1x3.8m relative pipe length= 3.8m
B/D 2 bends, 90° plastic waste wa-
ter pipe
= 2x0.8m relative pipe length
C0.5m plastic waste water pipe
= 0.5x1m relative pipe length= 0.5m
Total duct length= 5.9m
Installation of the ducting
Turn the cap to the left to remove it.
Press the cap firmly into the open air
outlet.
Dimensions of the exhaust air outlets
= 1.6m
Because the total duct length is less
than 20m (according to table II), a pipe
diameter of 100mm will be sufficient.
Exhaust air outlets on the back
of the tumble dryer
Sealing the air outlets
The ducting is installed on the right- or
left-hand side of the tumble dryer's
back panel. You must seal the unused
connection with a cap.

Installation of the ducting
Installing plug-in pipes
The tumble dryer is supplied with a
connector for installing a pipe. It can
be beneficial to use plug-in pipes if the
total duct length is long. A pipe generates less resistance against the exhaust air than a highly flexible exhaust
air hose, for example. This has a positive effect on the time and energy
needed for drying.
You will need
– The connector provided
– A wall pipe* or a window connection*
(*optional accessory)
– A plastic waste water pipe from a
specialist retailer. If the required pipe
diameter is over 100mm, additional
adapter pipes are needed for the pipe
system (e.g. from 100mm to
125mm).

flexible or flexible aluminium)
– An adapter or flat ducting* (for a flex-
ible exhaust air hose)
– A wall pipe* or window connection*
* (Optional accessories)

there is no space to install it to the
back.
Position the flat ducting* at a slight
angle as far as it will go.
Rotate the flat ducting* downwards
until it engages.
Insert the adapter* (2) into the ex-
haust air outlet.

Risk of toxic fumes due to the in-
take of poisonous exhaust gas.
The tumble dryer extracts air for dry-
ing from the room where the appliance is installed. If the appliance is
operated at the same time as fireplaces or other technical equipment
in the area of influence in the installation room, toxic exhaust gases can
be sucked back in.
Exhaust air must not be vented into a
chimney or vent flue which is otherwise in use and must not be channelled into ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
68
Condensation may run into the
tumble dryer.
Do not lay the exhaust air hose in
loops. Cut the exhaust air hose to
the required length.
