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. 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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with current local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the tumble dryer,
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.
Correct application
This tumble dryer is designed for domestic use and for use in

Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held
liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst
using it or have been shown how to use it by a person responsible
for their safety.
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble
dryer unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do
not let them play with it.
8
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) matches
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).
Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Do not connect the tumble 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 connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved 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 authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
Miele replacement parts are used.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer 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 circuit breaker.
This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Please observe the instructions in “Installation and connection”
and “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 tumble dryer.
Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
11
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 for this tumble dryer is 9.0 kg (dry weight). See
the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programmes.
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, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.
12
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 which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
– Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other
desposits (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 that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
– 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.
– Damaged fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it
igniting in the dryer.
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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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).
Warning: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the
programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is
stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up
or spread it out to cool it down.
Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must not be used without or
– with damaged fluff filters.
– with a damaged plinth filter.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.
The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.
Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Do no 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.
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 and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking water.
It can cause health problems in both people and animals.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff.
Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the heat
exchanger over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)
Only use genuine Miele original fragrance flacons.
The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please
make sure you retain this.
Caution. The fragrance can run out of the flacon. Make sure that
you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted
in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip it or place
it down on any surface.
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.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

Energy saving tips
Energy saving tips
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. You can save even more
energy with the following measures,
because the drying time is not
extended unnecessarily.
– Make sure your laundry is spun at the
maximum spin speed before drying.
The higher the spin speed, the
greater the savings that can be made
in energy and time during drying, e.g.
approx. 20% energy can be saved if
spinning laundry at 1600rpm instead
of 1000rpm.
– Use the maximum load quantity for
the drying programme being used.
This will mean that the energy
consumption for the amount of
laundry is the most economical.
– Make sure that 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.
– If possible, make use of time-
variable, low-cost electricity tariffs.
Ask your energy supplier for
information. Your tumble dryer's
Delay start function will be useful as
you can select when during the next
24hours you want drying to start
automatically.
– Clean the fluff filters in the door
opening after every drying cycle.
Please refer to “Cleaning and care” for
information on cleaning the fluff filters
and the plinth filter.

consumption during the programme or
at the end of the programme.
If the energy consumption is too low to
be measured, < 0.1 kWh will be
displayed.
The consumption will alter as the
programme progresses.
At the end of the programme, before
opening the door, you can also call up
the filter soiling level as a %.
Filter soiling
0% = Light
50% = Normal
100% = Heavy
With increased soiling, the programme
duration is extended, which increases
energy consumption.
If the door is opened or the appliance
has switched off automatically at the
end of the programme, the data will
revert to the estimated consumption.
Useful tip: You can view the
consumption data for the last drying
programme and for total consumption
(see “Settings - Consumption”).
The more bars visible, the higher the
energy consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the
drying programme, the drying level and
any Extras selected.

1. Notes on correct laundry care
Points to note regarding washed laundry
– When washing very heavily soiled
items, ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Make sure your laundry
is thoroughly spun before drying. The
higher the spin speed, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
– New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments to avoid the
risk 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.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
Risk of fire due to incorrect use
and operation.
The laundry can burn and destroy
the dryer and the surroundings.
See “Warning and Safety
instructions” for further information.
– Sort the laundry according to the type
of fibre and weave, size, garment
care label symbol and the drying level
required.
– Check seams and stitching to ensure
that padding and linings are intact.
This way you will avoid the danger of
fillings coming out. These could catch
fire when being dried.
– Untangle the laundry.
– Tie together textile belts and apron
ties.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
– Fasten hooks and eyes.
– Leave jackets open and undo any
long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
Preparing the laundry before 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.
– Sew in or remove loosened
underwiring from bras.
– Reduce the size of the load. Minimum
iron fabric tends to crease more the
larger the load. This is particularly the
case for garments made from very
fine weave fabric, such as shirts or
blouses.
27
1. Notes on correct laundry care
Drying
Useful tip: See the “Programme chart”.
It lists all programmes and their
maximum load.
– Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each
programme. This will mean that the
energy consumption for the amount
of laundry is the most economical.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
– Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the
fabric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
– Woollens and wool blends are
susceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these
textiles.
– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-Shirts,
underwear) have a tendency to shrink
after the first wash. Do not overdry
these fabrics to prevent further
shrinking. When buying loopknit
garments, it is advisable to take their
shrinkage potential into account.

2. Loading the tumble dryer
Loading the laundry
Textiles may be damaged.
Before loading the dryer, read “1.
Notes on correct laundry care.”
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Do not overload the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and give
a disappointing drying result. It can
also cause more creasing.
Two positions for inserting a fragrance flacon
See the section “Fragrance flacon” for
information on how to use fragrance
flacons.
If you are not using a fragrance flacon:
push the tab down completely (see
arrow) so that the socket is closed.
Otherwise, lint will accumulate here.
Closing the door
When closing the door, make sure
that laundry does not get trapped in
the door opening.
This can result in damage to the
laundry.
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

time period during which your tumble
dryer will start automatically. The
appliance will start on receipt of a
signal, e.g. from your energy supplier,
that indicates that the electricity rate is
particularly economical.
This function is active when the
SmartGrid setting is switched on.
The timeframe can be defined between
1minute and 24hours. During this
period, the tumble dryer waits for the
signal from the energy supplier. If no
signal is sent during the defined period,
the tumble dryer starts the drying
programme.
Setting the timeframe
If you have activated the SmartGrid
function in Settings, SmartStart by or
SmartFinish by will appear in the

48
Preparing the condensed water container for Steam care
During Steam care, the condensed
water collected in the condensed
water container is sprayed into the
drum via a spray jet. The condensed
water container must therefore be
filled with water to at least the –min–
marker. Otherwise, this could cause a
fault.
Condensed water container
The –min– marker is at the front lefthand side of the container.
Make use of the condensed water
which collects during the drying
process.
Filling the empty condensed water container
You can fill the condensed water
container with commercially available
condensed water (ironing water).
1 spout, 2 rubber seal
Pour the water in through the rings on
the spout 1.
The spray jet in the door opening
may clog.
Only fill with clean water. Do not add
fragrances, detergents or other
substances.
Checking the rubber seal periodically
If tap water is used frequently, white
limescale deposits can build up on the
rubber seal 2.
Use a damp cloth to carefully remove
any limescale deposits from the
rubber seal 2.
You should only use tap water in
exceptional cases. If tap water is used
frequently, the spray jet in the door
opening can become calcified.
49
Fragrance flacon
FragranceDos – 2 positions for inserting a fragrance flacon
Fragrance flacons (optional
accessories) can be used to give your
laundry a pleasant scent.
This dryer has 2 places for inserting
fragrance flacons. This gives you a
choice of how to use them.
– Use both positions if you wish to
change from one scent to another.
You can close the fragrance flacon
that you are not using.
– Both positions can be used for a
more intense scent of the same

Problem solving guide
Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.
Laundry or feather filled
pillows smell after
drying.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
There is a build-up of
fluff.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Warm air programme.
Select a more suitable programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some
programmes. See “Settings - Drying levels”.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite
normal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and aerate.
Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory).
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a 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. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff
to form.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.
See “Cleaning and care”.

Installation and connection
Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and
damage to property caused by
moving the appliance incorrectly.
If the tumble dryer tips over, there is
a danger of injury to people and
damage to property.
Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable
during transportation.
If the tumble dryer is being
transported horizontally, it must only
be tipped onto its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being
transported upright and you are using
a handcart or trolley, you must only
transport it with its left or right side
resting on the handcart or trolley.
Transporting the tumble dryer to its installation site
Make sure the fixings at the back
of the lid are secure.
Otherwise there is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the appliance, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.
Carry the tumble dryer by the front
feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the appliance.
Installation
Levelling the 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
resticted.
Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
72
The appliance must stand perfectly
level to ensure safe and proper
operation.
Installation and connection
Ventilation
The cool air intake at the front of the
tumble dryer must not be blocked or
covered. This would hinder a
sufficient intake of cool air for the
heat exchanger.
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 tumble
dryer.
Adequate ventilation has to be
provided to avoid the backflow of
gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open
fires.
Air which is taken in to cool the heat
exchanger is then blown back out of the
dryer and warms up the air in the room.
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the
room, e.g. by opening a window. The
drying time will otherwise take longer
(higher energy requirement).
The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Downtime after installation
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.
Before moving the tumble dryer again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
of the pump. This water can run out if
the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is
being moved. Recommendation: Run
the Warm air programme for
approximately 1minute without a load
before moving the tumble dryer. Any
remaining condensed water will then be
fed into the condensed water container,
which can then be emptied, or out
through the drain hose.
73

Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given above depending on the size of the
load, types of textiles, residual moisture levels after spinning and fluctuations in the electricity
supply, or when water hardness levels differ from specified values.
Using the Cottons Extra dry programme is recommended for a mixed cotton load and is the programme
used in energy consumption tests according to AS/NZS 2442 (Refer to http://www.energyrating.gov.au
website for consumption data).
The consumption data shown in the EcoFeedback display can vary from the consumption data quoted
here. The variations arise from the way the data is measured in the dryer. For example, the programme
duration may vary depending on the residual moisture present in the laundry and the type of fabric
which will affect the energy requirement.
