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.
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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
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.
The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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. Her-
metically sealed.

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only
be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or the Miele Service Department.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
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.
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 9.0 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.
Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying pro-
gramme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or
spread out to cool it down.
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 self-igniting). 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.
13
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.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up.
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.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
16
Warning and Safety instructions

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 follow-
ing 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.

Energy saving tips
Energy saving tips
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following measures as 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
spun at 1600rpm instead of
1000rpm.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. This will
mean that the energy consumption
for the amount of laundry is at its
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-vari-
able, 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 24 hours you
want drying to start automatically.
– Clean the fluff filters in the door open-
ing after every drying cycle.
Please refer to “Cleaning and care” for
information on cleaning the fluff filters
and the plinth filter.

You can view information about the energy consumption of your tumble dryer
with the sensor.
The following information will appear in
the display:
– An estimate of the energy consump-
tion before the programme begins.
– The actual energy consumption dur-
ing the programme or at the end of
the programme.
1. Viewing the estimated consumption
After selecting a drying programme,
touch the sensor.
The estimated energy consumption
level will be displayed as a bar chart.
The more bars visible (), the higher the
energy consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the
drying programme, temperature and
any options selected.
Touch the OK sensor or wait until the
display automatically returns to the
standard display.
2. Viewing the actual consumption
The actual energy consumption can be
viewed during the programme or at the
end of the programme.
Touch the sensor.
The consumption will alter as the programme progresses.
It is also possible to view the soiling
level of the filter as a % at the end of
the programme before you open the
door.
Touch the sensor to switch to the
Filter display.
0% = lightly soiled, 50% = average
soiling, 100% = heavily soiled.
Increased soiling will cause the programme duration to increase which in
turn will increase energy consumption.
If the door is opened or the appliance has switched off automatically

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.
Risk of fire due to incorrect use
and operation.
The laundry can burn and destroy
the dryer and the surroundings.
See “Warning and Safety” instruc-
tions 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.
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 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.

Drying
Tip: See the “Programme chart”.
It lists all programmes and their maximum load.
– Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load for each programme.
This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is
at its 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 sus-
ceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these textiles.
– Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Do not
overdry these fabrics to prevent further shrinking. Buy jersey garments
that are one or two sizes bigger.
