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.
–Clean the fluff filters in the door opening after every drying cycle.

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.
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.
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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").
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.
–This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. They are hermetically sealed.
Designation: R 134a
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and the "Technical data".
The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to disconnect 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 8.0 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, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.
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 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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).
–Items 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 items 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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
The tumble dryer must not be used without fluff filters or
–with damaged fluff filters, or
–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.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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 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 heat exchanger over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
14
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 leak 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 to wipe up any fragrance which has leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer components (e.g. the fluff filter) immediately.
If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon: comes into contact with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; comes in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes; is 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 leaked 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.

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.
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 dryer or the laundry.
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 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.
–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.
–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.
–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.
–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. They can be partially dried using the Gentle 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 over-dry these textiles. When purchasing these garments it is advisable to take their shrinkage properties into account.
–Select the Gentle tumble option for fabric which is particularly heatsensitive or susceptible to creasing.
21
2. Load the tumble dryer
