Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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 it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
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 temperature is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the dryer is located, make sure the room is well ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.
–After every cycle remove the fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
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 household wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
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.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger.
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 guarantee. Ensure current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
This tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.
–The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
–The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
–In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation and connection - Transporting the dryer"). However, if it has not been transported as described, ensure that the recommended standing time prior to first operation is observed. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Please observe all instructions given in "Installation and connection" and in "Technical data".
The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured, in order to separate the tumble dryer from the mains.
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.
Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.
Correct use
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 kg (dry weight). The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are given in the Programme chart.
To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device). If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling down phase, laundry could self-ignite.
9
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 (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which 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 sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or spread out to cool it down.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 selfigniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the drum.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the tumble dryer 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must not be used
–without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged.
–without the fine filters in place or if the fine filters are damaged.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault.
After every cycle remove the fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.
The fluff filters and the fine filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Do not replace them if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. 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 hoses
Condensed water is not drinking water.
It can cause health problems in both people and animals if consumed.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and fluff.
Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the condenser unit over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.
The tumble dryer can also be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate "WTV" stacking kit (available to order) to match your dryer is required.
If you order the correct plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as an optional accessory - depending on country), make sure it is the correct one.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Operating the tumble dryer
Display h min
The display shows:
–the programme duration (h min = hours and minutes)
–Check and fault messages
–Settings
The settings are used to tailor the dryer's electronics to suit your individual requirements.
See "Settings" for more information.
Estimated time remaining
After the start of a programme the estimated programme duration will appear in the h min display in hours and minutes (estimated time remaining). The only exception to this are the Timed drying programmes which last for 20 minutes.
The estimated duration (time remaining) will appear in the display. 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 appliance 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. Programmes can also finish earlier than expected, if, for example, particularly fine fabric is being dried, the load is very small or items were partially dry beforehand.
Drum lighting
If the dryer is switched on at the mains and the door is opened, the drum lighting will come on. It will go out a few minutes later to save energy.
Before using for the first time
Ensure that the dryer is installed and connected to the electricity supply correctly. If the tumble dryer has not been transported as described in "Installation and connection" then it must be left to stand for at least 1 hour before it is connected to the electricity supply.

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.
–Open jackets so that they can dry evenly
–Do not put soaking wet items into the tumble dryer to dry them; spin them thoroughly for at least 30 seconds after washing.
–Use the Automatic plus programme for drying mixed loads of cottons and minimum iron fabrics
–Pure linen should only be machine dried if specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the garment care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough.
–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 tend to crease more, the larger the load. This is also the case for garments made from very fine weave fabrics, such as shirts or blouses. Make sure you select a suitable programme. If in doubt, divide the garments into smaller loads and select Gentle tumble or Gentle smoothing.
–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 dryer. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.

How to dry correctly
Brief instructions
The headings numbered ( , , ...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide to using your dryer.
Sort the laundry
To ensure an even drying result sort laundry 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, pillow cases etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.
–Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.
–Fasten any loose belts and ties
–Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc. should be removed or sewn in.
Turn on the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer may be switched on after loading, saving energy as the light will not come on.
Switch the dryer on by pressing the On/Off button in.
Load the tumble dryer
Press the Door button to open the door.
Unfold the laundry and load 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.
Before closing the door make sure the fluff filter is correctly positioned in the door.
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.
