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.
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.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

similar working and residential environments.
This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
It must be used only as a domestic appliance 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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble
dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and
recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
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.
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) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat
and are a fire hazard.
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 warranty.
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:
this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by
the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to a higher
temperature level and liquefied by condensing, is led in a closed
circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the
circulating drying air takes place.
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.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the dryer.
– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gas).
They are hermetically sealed.
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.

You can view the following information
about the energy consumption of your
tumble dryer with the ECO Feedback
sensor:
– an estimate of the consumption
before the programme begins
– during or after drying, the energy
consumption (kWh) and the cost
(Price per kWh).
1. Estimate before drying
After selecting a programme, touch
the ECO Feedback sensor.
For a few seconds, bars which indicate
the estimated consumption will appear:
The more bars visible, the higher the
energy consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the
programme and any options selected.
2. Actual consumption during the
drying programme
Consumption data, and cost if this has
been set (see “Settings”), can be
displayed.
Touch the Change sensor.
The consumption/cost will vary
depending on the programme stage
and residual moisture present.
After a few seconds Change will
reappear at the bottom left.
It is also possible to view the level of
soiling in the filter as a %: Filter (0 % =
light, 50 % = medium, 100 % = heavy)
at the end of the programme before
opening the door. The more soiled the
filter, the longer the programme will
take. This will also result in an increased
level of energy consumption.
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
See “Settings” for more detailed
information.
– shows consumption data for the
programme which has just been run
and
– shows total energy consumption to
date.
Touch the ECO Feedback sensor.
You can view the actual amount of
energy used. For example:
< 0.1 kWh will be displayed if the
energy consumption is very low with
the cost showing as 0.00.

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
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.
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.
– Disentangle the laundry.
– Tie together textile belts and 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.
– Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
– If necessary, reduce the size of the
load for these types of fabric. Easy
care 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.

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. 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.
– 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 option.
– Select an appropriate drying level,
e.g. . . .
. . . Normal plus, 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 option for
fabric which is particularly heatsensitive or susceptible to creasing.

2. Load the tumble dryer
It is essential to read “1. Notes
on correct laundry care” first of all.
Press the button to switch the
dryer on.
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.
Open the door
Pull the door open at the side with
the orange marker.
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.
If you are not using a fragrance
flacon: the tab must be pushed
down completely (see arrow).
Close the door
Shut the door with a gentle swing.
When closing the door make
sure that laundry does not get
trapped in the door opening.
This could damage the laundry.
