Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. 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.
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. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

9
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installing the dryer, check it for visible signs of damage.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
Do not make any alterations to the dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
Do not connect the dryer 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).
If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is
observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, have the electrical
installation 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 must only be
carried out by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety standards of
the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to
prevent malfunctions and fire hazards, it is important to carry out
maintenance on a regular basis.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
In the event of a fault and for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer
must be disconnected from the electricity supply. It is only
completely disconnected when:
- it is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn, or
- the mains fuse is disconnected, or
- it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
For further information see “Installation - Electrical connection”.
This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
locations (e.g. on a ship).
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the tumble
dryer can be disconnected from the electricity supply.
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
electricity supply. The means of disconnection must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
The gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor
must not be blocked with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc., which
would obstruct the openings. This would hinder a sufficient flow of
air to the tumble dryer.
The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the
tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer
door is restricted.

not explosive.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the correct functioning of
the 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. They
are hermetically sealed.
Designation of refrigerant: R134a
Amount of refrigerant: 0.61 kg
Global warming potential of refrigerant: 1430 kg CO2 e
Global warming potential of appliance: 872 kg CO2 e
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.
To avoid the possible danger of fire, please read these warnings
carefully.
A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.
The maximum load is 8kg (dry laundry). See the “Programme
chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual
programmes.
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 into the tumble dryer or hiding things in it.
- pets or other small animals climbing into the tumble dryer.
Do not use a pressure washer or high-pressure hose to clean the
tumble dryer.
Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust
and fluff. If the air that is taken into the machine contains dirt
particles, they can cause blockages. This can lead to faults and
create a fire hazard.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must not be used
- without the fluff filters and the filter in the plinth in place.
- without the bottom right grille fitted.
- if the fluff filters or the filter in the plinth are damaged in any way.
In case of damage, fluff filters and plinth filter must be replaced
immediately.
A damaged filter would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in
turn would cause a fault.
To ensure problem-free operation of the dryer:
- Remove the fluff from the filter surfaces and the fluff filters after
every drying cycle.
- In addition, the fluff filters, filter surfaces, the grille at the bottom
right and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by
the display.
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. There is a risk of damage if the
condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and drain hose.
The permitted room temperature is between 2°C and 35°C.
If the water is drained externally, make sure the drain hose is
secured against slipping, e.g. if you hang it in a laundry tub or
laundry trough.
Otherwise the hose may slip off and the condensation water flowing
out may cause damage.
Condensed water is not drinking water.
It can cause health problems in both people and animals if
consumed.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in the tumble dryer:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or other deposits (such
as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions, etc.). If items have not been
thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might ignite when
heated, even after they have been removed from the tumble dryer
at the end of the programme.
- Items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
- Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use a
larger quantity of detergent and select a high temperature. If in
doubt, wash the items several times.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
15
Warning and Safety instructions
WARNING: Never switch the tumble dryer off before the end of
the drying programme unless all items are removed immediately and
spread out to cool down.
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 self-igniting if the drying programme is
cancelled before the cooling phase has finished.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must never be
dried in the tumble dryer:
- Items which have been cleaned using industrial 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 padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g.
pillows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a fire.
The programme finishes when the cooling phase has been
completed. Many programmes are followed by a 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).
Make sure that you do not remove the laundry until the programme
has finished.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Do not store or use petrol, kerosene, paraffin or other flammable
substances near the dryer. Risk of fire and explosion!
Do not expose the dryer to air which contains chlorine, fluorine or
other solvent vapours. This contaminated air can cause a fire.
For appliance parts made from stainless steel:
Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces and liquid detergents
or disinfecting agents containing chlorine or sodium hypochlorite.
These agents can cause corrosion on stainless steel.
Aggressive chlorine bleach vapours can also be corrosive.
Do not store open containers of these agents near the appliance.
17
Warning and Safety instructions
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)
Only ever use original Miele fragrance flacons.
The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please
make sure you retain this.
Make sure that you always keep the fragrance flacon, or the fluff
filter with the flacon inserted in it, in a horizontal position when
carrying it, and do not tip or place it down on any surface. The
fragrance can leak.
Use an absorbent cloth immediately to wipe up any fragrance
which has run out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer
components (e.g. the fluff filter).
If fragrance which has run out of a flacon should come in contact
with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; come
in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least
15minutes; be swallowed - rinse out the mouth thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical advice in the case of contact with the
eyes or if fragrance has been swallowed.
If fragrance which has run out of a flacon comes in contact with
clothing, change the clothing immediately. Wash the clothing or any
cloths used for mopping up fragrance thoroughly with plenty 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 flacon with fragrance.
- Never use a faulty fragrance flacon.
Dispose of an empty fragrance flacon with the household waste
and never use it for any other purpose.
Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance
flacon.
18
Warning and Safety instructions

1. Notes on correct laundry care
Washing
- Wash heavily soiled laundry
thoroughly. Ensure that you use
sufficient detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
- New, coloured items should be
washed thoroughly and separately.
Do not dry these garments together
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.

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, and also the water hardness.
For this reason, the time left for the
drying level programmes may vary or
“jump”. The tumble dryer's electronic
control system adapts to these factors
and then adjusts the displayed duration
with increasing accuracy.
Useful tip: You can use the pull-down
menu to display the selected
temperature, spin speed, and any
selected Extras.

(replacement filters are available as
an optional accessory) if you see the
following signs of wear before or
after cleaning.
Poor fit
Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff
from the handle.
60
The edges of the filter do not sit
properly and the filter is deformed. Fluff
will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through edges that do not sit
properly. This will cause a permanent
obstruction in the heat exchanger.
Cleaning and care
Deformations
Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by
continuous use.
Cracks, tears, indentations
White residues or residues of other
colours
Residues arise from laundry fibres and
residues 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 crusts.
Residues are a sign that the filter no
longer has a snug fit at the sides, even
if it appears to be perfect – fluff is
getting in unfiltered at the edges.
If these residues appear on the filter
again soon after cleaning, it must be
replaced.
Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through cracks and tears and
will cause obstruction.
Deformations indicate that the filter has

Unsatisfactory drying result
Problem Possible cause 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.
Fluff is caused by
tumble drying.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Timed drying warm air
programme.
The laundry could not be untangled in the
programme you selected. Smaller items have rolled
up into one.
Untangle the laundry.
Select the Large items programme.
If the Large items programme does not appear in the
display for selection, you can activate it later.
How to activate a programme subsequently is
described in “Supervisor level – Opening the
Supervisor level” and “Programme selection/
Programme packages”.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Feathers are a natural product and may develop
odours when exposed to heat.
Laundry: Wash with sufficient detergent next time.
Pillows: Take out of the tumble dryer and aerate.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding fabric
softener to the final rinse in the washing
programme.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are
being washed. Tumble drying hardly causes any fluff
to form.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and fine filters and
can easily be removed.
See “Cleaning and care”.
