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 that they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines 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 machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it 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.
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. 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.
–After every cycle remove the fluff from the fluff filter in the door and in the door opening (see "Cleaning and Care").
–Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. 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.
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.
Technical safety
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 (voltage and connected load) 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 regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the on-site 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 machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
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.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced with a
genuine Miele connection cable.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is
only completely isolated from the electricity 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.
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 condenser unit in place.
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
damp or wet when replaced there is a risk of faults occurring when the machine is used.
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 the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health
problems in both people and animals.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and +35°C.
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 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
For machines 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 machine.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it or to play with the controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm, and supervise children whilst you are operating the machine.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
^Before discarding an old machine, disconnect it from the mains supply, or switch off at the wall socket and unplug it.
^To prevent the risk of misuse, render any plug useless and cut off the cable directly behind the machine. Make the door lock unusable.
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.

Estimated time remaining
When a programme is selected, the estimated duration (time remaining) will appear in the display. Please be aware that it is only an estimate!
The following factors all affect the estimated time remaining: Residual moisture content after spinning; type of fabric; size of load; room temperature; fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess conditions in the machine and adjust the estimated time remaining for a more accurate reading. Because of this, the time displayed can alter during the course of a programme.
In the same way, the Woollens handcare and Smoothing programmes can finish earlier than expected if a certain temperature is reached. This can happen with particularly fine fabrics or if items were partly dry beforehand.

Notes on laundry care
Care symbols
Before drying check the drying symbol on the care label. 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
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.
–For delicates and fabrics with the following care label r select Low temperature.
–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 "fluffed up" using the Woollens handcare programme.
–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 larger the load, particularly when the weave of the fabric is very fine.
Reduce the load or use the Shirts 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.

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 operating 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.
,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 zips, hooks and eyes etc.
–Tie fabric belts and apron strings.
–Sew in or remove underwiring from bras.
B Load the tumble dryer
^Press the Door button to open the drum door.
^Load the laundry loosely into the drum.
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.
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.
