,
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 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.
~
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, petrol, stain
remover, wax or chemicals from
buffing, etc.
Do not tamper
~
with the controls.
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.
Do not use fabric softeners or
~
products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the fabric
manufacturer.
4
–
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 appliances may
pose a considerable risk to the user.
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 appliance and
~
exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified personnel.
This dryer is intended for
residential use only!
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.
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, louvered 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.
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.

Fabric care labels
Before drying, check fabric care labels
for special drying instructions.
q = Drying with a normal temperature
r = Drying with a low temperature
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.
Before loading the dryer
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 over-dry 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.
–
Wool and wool blends tend to felt
and shrink. Dry these items in the
"Woolens" program.

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.

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 moisture sensor does not
recognize a load and cancels the
program.
