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 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. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Ensure that your old appliance 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, e.g. approx. 20% energy can be saved if spun at 1600 rpm instead of 1000 rpm.

– 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 tumble dryer is located, make sure the room is well-ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.

– Clean the fluff filters in the door

opening after every drying cycle.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

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

similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

 This tumble dryer is not suitable for outdoor use.  It must only be used to dry items which have been washed in a

water solution and which are marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. If using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the packaging. Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 Caution! Risk of fire. 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 8.0 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.

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

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.

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.

 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 and Safety instructions

 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.

 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. – 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.

 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.

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.

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 or place 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 15 minutes; 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.

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

Energy 2.0 kWh

You can use the EcoFeedback sensor to call up information about the energy consumption of your dryer.

Touching the EcoFeedback sensor will call up two types of information:

– An estimate of the consumption

before the programme begins.

– The energy consumption during the

programme.

The EcoFeedback sensor will light up and information will appear in the display. Both will go out automatically a few seconds later or alternatively they can be confirmed with

OK.

At the end of the programme, before opening the door, you can also call up the following in the display:

– The energy consumption. – The degree of soiling of the fluff

filters and the plinth filter (0 % = light, 50 % = medium, 100 % = heavy). Accumulating fluff and soiling will cause the programme duration to increase, which in turn will increase energy consumption.

1. Estimate

 After selecting a programme, touch

the EcoFeedback sensor.

The estimate will vary depending on the programme and any options selected.

2. Actual consumption

 Touch the EcoFeedback sensor. You can view the actual amount of

energy used. Example:

< 0.1 kWh will be displayed if the energy consumption is very low. The consumption will vary depending on the programme stage and residual moisture present.

If the door is opened or the tumble dryer has switched off automatically at the end of the programme, the data will revert to the estimated consumption.

Total consumption setting

– Shows consumption data for the

programme which has just been run and – shows total energy consumption to

date. See "Settings menu" for more detailed

information.

For a few seconds bars which indicate the estimated consumption will be shown:

The more bars visible, the higher the energy consumption.

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 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.

– Starched laundry can be dried in the

tumble dryer. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.

 See "Warning and Safety"

instructions for further information. Loading or using the tumble dryer

incorrectly could cause a fire.

– Sort the laundry according to the

type of fibre and weave, size, garment care label symbol and the drying level required.

– Check the seams of padded or

down-filled items to prevent the risk of fillings coming out. These could

catch fire when being dried. – Disentangle the laundry. – Tie together textile belts and apron

ties. – Fasten . . .

. . . duvet covers and pillow cases to

prevent small items from being

trapped inside them.

. . . hooks and eyes. – Sew in or remove underwiring from

bras. – Leave jackets open and undo any

long zips so that textiles dry evenly.

Preparing the laundry before drying

 Make sure that any objects, e.g.

detergent dosing balls, lighters etc. have been removed from the laundry.

They could melt or explode and cause damage to the tumble dryer or the laundry.

– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease

more, the greater the load. This is

also the case for garments made

from very fine weave fabric, such as

shirts or blouses. If necessary,

reduce the size of the load for these

types of fabric.

Laundry care when drying in a tumble dryer

See the "Programme chart". This describes the programmes and

gives their maximum load.

– 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 Gentle 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. It can be partially dried using the smoothing programme.

– Woollens and wool blends tend to

become matted and shrink if dried in a tumble dryer. They can, however, be "fluffed up" in the Woollens handcare programme.

– Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and

underwear) tend to shrink depending on their quality. Do not overdry these textiles. When purchasing these garments, it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.

Gentle

– 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.

– With half loads you can select the

Auto load control Extra.

– Select an appropriate drying level,

e.g. . . .

. . . Normal + if you want to fold and put away the laundry after you take it

out of the dryer.. . . Machine iron if

the laundry, e.g. table linen, requires further processing after drying.

– Select the Gentle tumble Extra for

fabric which is particularly heatsensitive or susceptible to creasing.

2. Loading the tumble dryer

 It is essential to read "1. Notes

on correct laundry care" first of all.

 Switch the tumble dryer on by

pressing the  button.

The interior drum lighting will come on.

The interior drum lighting will automatically go out after a few minutes and/or after the start of a programme to save energy.

Opening the door

If you are not using a fragrance flacon: the tab must be pushed down completely (see arrow).

Closing the door

 Reach under the door grip and pull

the door open.

 Unfold the laundry and load loosely

into the drum.

Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary

wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result and cause more creasing.

When closing the door, make sure that laundry does not get trapped in the door opening.

This could damage the laundry.

 Shut the door with a gentle swing.

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 timed drying

programme.

 Select a more suitable programme next time. Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some

programmes. See "Settings menu". 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) for your favourite fragrance.

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".

Problem solving guide

Bottom right grille

 In general, the cooling fins

behind the grille on the bottom right do not need cleaning. They should only be cleaned if the drying process is taking an exceptionally long time due to a very high level of dust or fluff in the room in which the dryer is located.

 First open the plinth filter panel on

the left from underneath.

To remove the grille, the catch behind it needs to be released using a spoon handle.

 Danger of injury! Do not touch

the cooling fins. You could cut yourself.

 Use a vacuum cleaner with a

dusting brush attached to clean the cooling fins. Only pass the vacuum cleaner brush over them lightly, without applying any pressure.

Take care not to bend the cooling fins out of shape or to damage them.

 Insert a spoon handle behind the

grille in the middle.

 Press the spoon handle against the

catch and lever the grille open.

 Remove the grille.

 Carefully vacuum up any visible fluff

or dirt.

 Re-insert the 3 hooks on the grille

 If transporting the dryer at an

angle, only tip towards the left side.

Transporting the dryer

To manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by

– the front feet – and the protruding lid at the back of

the appliance.

 Only transport the dryer as

shown in the following illustrations.

 If the tumble dryer has not been

transported as described, then it must be left to stand for at least 1 hour before it is connected to the electricity supply.

Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.

Installation and connection

Installation

 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 restricted.

Levelling the dryer

 Make sure the dryer door can be

opened without hindrance after installation.

The appliance must stand perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation.

The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Installation and connection

Ventilation

 The cool air intake at the front of

the 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 back flow 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. It is therefore very important to ensure adequate ventilation, e.g. by opening a window. Otherwise drying durations may be longer (increased energy requirement).

Before moving the tumble dryer again (e.g. when moving houses)

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 1 minute 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.

Installation and connection

Additional installation requirements

 The dryer should not be installed

next to a refrigeration appliance. The warm air expelled from the rear of the dryer would increase the temperature around the refrigeration appliance's heat exchanger causing the compressor to run continuously. If it is not possible to install the dryer anywhere else, then the refrigeration appliance must be sealed off from the dryer. It is very important to avoid a buildup of heat. The warm air which is expelled from the dryer must be able to dissipate. Warm air which cannot dissipate could cause a fault.

A build-up of heat can be avoided by: – Adjusting the screw feet so that there

is a gap of at least 20 mm between the floor and the bottom of the dryer.

Optional accessories

– Washer-dryer stack

The tumble dryer can also be combined with a Miele washing machine in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate Miele washer-dryer stacking kit is required.

– Creating a gap for the dryer in the

kitchen furniture plinth facing.

– Creating ventilation gaps in the

kitchen unit.

Suitable for pushing under a worktop

This tumble dryer is suitable for pushing under a worktop.

– The appliance lid must not be

removed.

– The electrical socket must be located

in an accessible position near the appliance.

– Drying durations may increase

slightly.

Installation and connection

Externally draining condensed water

Notes

When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose which is located at the back of the dryer.

The condensed water can also be drained away via the drain hose so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.

Drain hose length: 1.60 m Maximum delivery head: 1.50 m Maximum drain hose length: 4.00 m

The following optional accessories are available:

– an extension hose, – a non-return valve kit for connection

to an external water outlet. The kit includes an extension hose.

Installation conditions requiring a non-return valve

 There is a risk of backflow into

the dryer if a non-return valve is not fitted.

Backflow could damage the dryer and also the room in which it is located.

Certain installation conditions, such as those described below, require the fitting of a non-return valve.

Maximum delivery head with non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m

Installation conditions requiring the fitting of a non-return valve:

– Drainage into a sink or floor gully

where the end of the hose is

immersed in water. – Connection to a sink drain outlet. – Connection to a drainage system

already in use by another appliance,

e.g. a dishwasher or washing

machine.

 The non-return valve has to be

fitted with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow.

Otherwise water will not drain out of the appliance.

Installation and connection

Arranging the drain hose

 Do not pull on the drain hose

and do not stretch it or allow it to become kinked.

This could damage the hose.

There will be a small amount of residual water left in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this.

 Guide the hose to the right or left

side of the dryer, as required.

– If you are guiding it to the right, you

can fit the hose into the groove. – Leave the hose in the lower holder to

prevent it from being kinked

inadvertently.

 Pull the drain hose off its connection.  Unwind the hose and pull it carefully

out of the holders.

 Allow any residual water to run into

the container.

Installation and connection

Examples

– Drainage into a sink or floor gully

Use the hose holder to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked.

 Press the small catches on the left

and right of the hose holder with your thumbs (black arrows) and ...

 ... pull the hose holder forwards to

remove it (white arrows).*

Direct connection to a sink drain outlet

 Remove the following from the back

of the dryer at the top: Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.

 Connect the drain hose as described

below.

 If you want to drain the water off

into a sink or basin, you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap, to make sure it cannot slip during use (see the drawing under "Installation and connection - Front view").

Overflowing water can cause damage.

 The non-return valve can be fitted in

the end of the hose.

* You can refit the hose holder at a later stage if you decide that you no longer want to drain the condensed water externally.
