Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these
materials improperly by disposing of
them in your household waste can be
harmful to your health and the
environment. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste and follow
local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
It is essential to read all instructions before using the appliance.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.
Before this appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating
instructions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be
performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the user.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important information regarding use of fabric softener sheets:
We do not recommend use of fabric softener sheets. Use of fabric
softener sheets can clog the surfaces of the lint filters, extending the
drying time and increasing energy consumption. During subsequent
cleaning, the plastic and surfaces of the lint filters can be damaged!
The best results are obtained by using liquid fabric softener in the
washing machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you still wish to use fabric softener sheets, be sure to follow the
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning and care” in the “Cleaning
instructions when using fabric softener sheets” section.
Tip:
Using a fragrance capsule (optional accessory) will add a pleasant
fragrance to your laundry.
When a fragrance capsule is used, the fragrance is acquired by the
entire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is
that under certain circumstances the fragrance is acquired by only a
few items of laundry, especially when drying a full load.
When you use a fragrance capsule, always follow the
warnings in this section as well as those under “Fragrance
capsule”.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this dryer:
– items which have not been washed.
– items, such as work-wear, exposed to grease, oils, or other
deposits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these
items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the
laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the
dryer.
– items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
– items treated with flammable cleaning agents or items containing
acetone, alcohol, gas, stain remover, wax or chemicals from
buffing, etc.
– items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish
remover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient
detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the
item several times.
– items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
– items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have
been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of
fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble
dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected,
including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items
being removed are not too hot to handle.
Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
Keep the area around the air intake (toe kick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by
qualified personnel.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Before installation, disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical
supply by shutting off the power main, unplugging the power cord or
tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power until the installation
is complete.
Miele Tumble Dryers and Miele Washing Machines can be
installed as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele WasherDryer Stacking Kit which can be purchased separately. Please
ensure that the washer-dryer stacking kit is suitable for the Miele
Tumble Dryer and the Miele Washing Machine.
If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory), make sure it is the correct one.
The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6 lb (8 kg) kg. See the
“Program chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programs.
Do not place shoes inside the drum for drying. Placing shoes
inside the drum for drying can cause the belt to tear, requiring a
service call.
You must always use the dryer basket (optional accessory) when
drying/airing shoes. Follow the additional operating instructions for
the dryer basket.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g., 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 should only be fitted
by a Miele authorized person or by Miele Technical Service.
Information on the heat pump and refrigerant
– This tumble dryer uses refrigerant gas which is not flammable and
not explosive.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer, wait for at least one hour before
switching it on.
– This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Hermetically sealed.
Designation of refrigerant: R134a
Amount of refrigerant: 0.61kg

13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Using a fragrance capsule (optional accessory)
Only use genuine Miele original fragrance capsules.
Store the fragrance capsule in its original packaging.
Make sure that you always keep the fragrance flacon or the lint
filter with the flacon inserted in it in a horizontal position when
carrying, and do not tip or place it down on any surface. The
fragrance can leak out of the flacon.
Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has
leaked out of the capsule onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer
components (e.g. the lint filter) immediately.
If fragrance comes in contact with the body: Wash skin thoroughly
with soap and water. Flush eyes with clean water for at least
15minutes. If swallowed, rinse mouth thoroughly with clean water.
Seek medical attention if the fragrance comes in contact with the
eyes or is swallowed!
Immediately change clothes that have come in contact with the
fragrance. Thoroughly wash clothing or fabric using a large amount
of water and detergent.
There is the risk of fire or damage to the tumble dryer if the
following instructions are not observed:
– Never refill a capsule with fragrance or any other substance.
– Never use a faulty fragrance capsule.
Dispose of an empty fragrance capsule properly and never use it
for any other purpose.
Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance
capsule.

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, colored items must be washed
thoroughly and separately. Do not dry
these items with light-colored
garments. There is the risk of colors
running and discoloring other
garments or even plastic components
in the tumble dryer. Dark-colored
fibers can also settle on light-colored
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.

Program duration/Estimated time remaining
The program 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 programs can
therefore vary or “jump”. The tumble
dryer's electronic adapts to these
factors and then adjusts the displayed
program duration with increasing
accuracy.
Tip: In the pull-down menu, you can
view the selected drying level or
duration and the selected options.

maintenance.
Too many lint deposits in the filter
system and tumble dryer will result in
a risk of fire.
Check the filter system and airsupply area on a regular basis. Clean
the filter if you find any lint deposits.
Damage caused by a missing or
damaged filter system.
Too many lint deposits in the filter
system and tumble dryer will result in

Cleaning instructions when using fabric softener sheets
If you are using fabric softener sheets,
please follow these warnings and
instructions.
First, clean the filters as
described in “Cleaning the lint filters
with water”.
If the surfaces of the lint filters are
still strongly compacted with lint,
then follow these measures.
Please note the plastic and surfaces
of the lint filters can be damaged by
the cleaning process described
below.
If the surfaces of the lint filters
are not cleaned, this can extend the
drying time and increase the energy
consumption.
Try the following 3 cleaning instructions
to determine the one that achieves the
best results.
Option 3
Wet the surfaces of the lint filters with
a liquid color detergent (e.g., Miele
Ultra Color Liquid Laundry Detergent).
Leave it on for approx. 2 hours.
Risk of fire!
Then rinse the filter surfaces
thoroughly with warm water to
remove all residues.
Option 1
Wipe the surfaces of the lint filters
several times with a cleaning cloth
with an alcohol base until you have
removed the impurities/obstructions.
Risk of fire!
Then rinse the filter surfaces
thoroughly with warm water to
remove all residues.
Option 2

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the lint filter with water
Clean the filter thoroughly under
running water.
Squeeze the filter very carefully
several times as you rinse it.
Rinse the filter until all visible residues
have been removed.
Damage caused by a
insufficiently cleaned or damaged lint
filter.
If the filter has not been properly
cleaned or is damaged, the heat
exchanger will be clogged. There will
be an insufficient flow of air and heat
in the heat exchanger. This will
require a visit from the Technical
Service department.
Before and after cleaning, check the
toe-kick filter in accordance with the
description in “Replacing the toekick filter”. The toe-kick filter must be
perfectly functional and undamaged
after cleaning.
Replacing the toe-kick filter
Filter wear caused by continuous
tumble-dryer use.
If the tumble dryer is in continuous
use and is being cleaned regularly,
the toe-kick filter can begin to show
signs of wear after a while. This can
clog up the heat exchanger.
Replace the filter immediately if you
see the following signs of wear
before or after cleaning (optional
accessory).
Poor fit
Use a damp cloth to remove any lint
from the handle.
The edges of the filter do not sit
properly and the filter is deformed. Lint
will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through edges that do not sit
properly. This will cause a permanent
obstruction in the heat exchanger.
57
Cleaning and care
Deformation
Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by
continuous use.
Cracks, tears, indentations
White residues or residues of other
colors
Residues arise from laundry fibers and
traces of detergent components which
can clog the filter. They can be found
on the front and side edges of the filter.
In extreme cases, they can form
stubborn crust.
Residues are a sign that the filter no is
longer a snug fit at the sides, even if it
appears to be perfect: Lint is getting in
unfiltered at the edges.
If these residues appear on the filters
again soon after cleaning, the filter must
be replaced.
Lint will blow into the heat exchanger
through cracks and tears and will cause
obstruction.
Indentations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by
continuous use.
58
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the filter insert (in the toe-kick)
The surface of the filter in the filter
insert is visible after removing the lint
filter in the toe-kick. This filter surface
