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:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Do not dry articles 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.
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 or pet hazards.
Before this appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
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 lean on the door. The dryer may tip over.
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.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or items containing hair spray, nail polish remover or similar substances, wax or chemicals from buffing.
Items with damaged fillings (e.g. pillows or jackets) should not be
dried in the dryer. The filling can cause a fire.
Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
Keep the area around the air intake (toekick) and adjacent surrounding
areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 the risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
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.
Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.
This dryer must not be used without an exhaust hose, lint filter
or a damaged lint filter.
Check regularly on the exhaust parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvred
wall vent, bends, etc.) if enough air gets through. Lint can collect and block the air flow.
If an exhaust hose is already installed, it should be checked before connected to the dryer.
Faulty components must only be replaced with original Miele spare
parts.
If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele
Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord.
Using accessories
Only use genuine Miele accessories. If unapproved parts
are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may become void.

s = Do not dry in a tumble dryer
Drying tips
–Observe the maximum loads, see the "Program Guide".
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying results and wrinkling.
–Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric care symbol r with the "Gentle" option.
–Do not dry dripping wet items in the dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash for at least 30 seconds.
–Open jackets to allow even drying.
–Wool and wool blends tend to felt and shrink. Dry these items in the "Woolens" program.
–The fine cotton fabric or down filled items tends to shrink.
–Dry pure linen items only if it is advised on the fabric care label. The surface of the fabric otherwise tends to become "rough".
–Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and underwear) tend to shrink when washed and dried for the first time. Do not overdry these fabrics.
–Permanent press and delicate fabrics tend to crease more the bigger the load size.
For better drying results reduce the load size or select the "Delicates" program.
–Starched laundry can be dried in the tumble dryer. However, the amount of starch must be doubled during the wash.
–Wash new, colored items before drying for the first time and do not dry with light-colored items. These fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic parts of the dryer). Colored lint could adhere to light-colored items.

Use
1. Sort the laundry |
2. Load the laundry |
^Sort the laundry by desired dryness, fabric, size and similar residual moisture after spinning to assure even drying results.
,Do not dry items that may melt or ignite in the dryer such as plastics or rubber. They could melt and damage the laundry.
^Check hems and seams, so that no filling can fall out.
^Duvet covers and pillowcases should be fastened in order to prevent small items from rolling inside of them.
^Close zippers, hooks and eyelets.
^Tie up fabric belts and apron ties.
^Remove or sew up loose bra underwires.
^ Open the door.
2.1. Without the laundry basket
^Load the laundry loosely into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Overloading strains the fabrics and leads to poor drying results.
8
Use
2.2. With laundry basket
Reduce the load size to ½ of a normal load.
Use the laundry basket to dry or air e.g. sport shoes.
The laundry basket is designed in such a way that it does not turn with the drum and avoids strain on the drying item.
^Hang the laundry basket in the opening.
The laundry basket supports itself with the bottom in the dryer and is held in place with the front straps (arrows).
,Make sure no sleeves, ties, belts, etc. stick out of the basket.
They might get entangled which could damage the laundry basket and the drum.
Drying with the laundry basket is only possible with the programs "45 min. warm" and "15 min. cold". All other programs are not suitable since the load sensor does not recognize a load and cancels the program.
