Caring for the environment
Disposal of the transport packaging material
The packaging material protects the
dryer from transport damage. 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 the
amount of waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the
equipment. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Therefore, please
do not dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.

7
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important information regarding use of fabric softener sheets:
We do not recommend use of fabric softener sheets. Use of fabric
softener sheets can clog the surfaces of the lint filters, extending the
drying time and increasing energy consumption. During subsequent
cleaning, the plastic and surfaces of the lint filters can be damaged!
The best results are obtained by using liquid fabric softener in the
washing machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you still wish to use fabric softener sheets, be sure to follow the
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning and care” in the “Cleaning
instructions when using fabric softener sheets” section.
Tip:
Using a fragrance capsule (optional accessory) will add a pleasant
fragrance to your laundry.
When a fragrance capsule is used, the fragrance is absorbed by the
entire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is
that the fragrance is sometimes only absorbed by a few items of
laundry, especially when drying a full load.
When you use a fragrance capsule, always follow the
warnings in this section as well as those under “Fragrance
capsule”.
8
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be tumble
dried:
– Items which have not been washed.
– Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled
with grease, oil or other deposits (such as work clothes, kitchen
linens or cosmetics cloths with lubricants, cooking oils, grease,
lotions, etc, as there is a danger that they might ignite when
heated (chemical reaction), even after they have been removed
from the dryer at the end of the program.
– Items which have been washed or dry-cleaned using chemicals or
other flammable substances (e.g. professional dry-cleaning
agents). They could emit explosive fumes.
– Items that have been soiled with flammable or explosive cleaning
agents or substances containing acetone, alcohol, gasoline,
petroleum, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
– Items which have been soiled with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use a
larger quantity of detergent and select a high temperature. If in
doubt, wash the items several times.
– 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, rubberized
articles, and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
– Items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets) and
are damaged. The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire.
9
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In many programs, 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 prevents the danger of the laundry
igniting). The program is not finished until after the cooling down
phase. It is advisable to remove all laundry as soon as the program
has finished.
The lint filters must be cleaned before or after every drying cycle!
Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located, particularly the
plinth area, free from dust and lint.
The inside of the tumble dryer must be cleaned regularly by an
authorized specialist.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The electrical safety of this dryer can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding system.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and
regularly tested. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation
inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate grounding system. The electrical
socket must be easily accessible so that the dryer can be
disconnected from the electricity supply.
WARNING – If the grounding conductor is connected incorrectly,
this can result in electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you
are unsure whether the appliance is properly grounded.
10
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not change the plug: If it does not fit into the socket, you
should have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
In the event of a fault or during cleaning and maintenance, the
tumble dryer is only completely disconnected from the electricity
supply when the tumble dryer plug has been removed or if the fuse
has been disconnected or if the screw-out fuse has been removed.
Do not switch on the supply until the task has been completed.
Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. A Miele washer-dryer connection kit is
required as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the

11
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in 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.
After installation, downtime of 1 hour is required before
connecting the tumble dryer to the electricity supply.
Otherwise, the heat pump could be damaged.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. This does not impair the efficient functioning
of the dryer.
– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Hermetically sealed.
Designation of refrigerant: R134a
Amount of refrigerant: 0,47 kg
Global warming potential of refrigerant: 1430 kg CO2 e
Global warming potential of appliance: 672 kg CO2 e

Energy saving tips
This dryer is designed for
energysaving drying cycles thanks to
its heat pump technology. 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 1600 rpm instead of 1000
rpm.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the program 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.
– Clean the lint filters in the door
opening after every drying cycle.
18
Functioning of the heat-pump dryer
Two separate circuits ensure that the
laundry is dried:
Dry air circuit
The drying air flows through a heat
exchanger, the drum and several
filters. This is ensured by a blower in
the dryer.
– The drying air flows through the heat
exchanger in the longitudinal
direction and is heated in the rear
area.
– The drying air is then blown into the
drum, where it absorbs the moisture
of the laundry.
– The damp drying air is blown back
through the heat exchanger via
several filters in the fill area and the
plinth area of the dryer.
– The drying air cools down in the
front, cool area of the heat exchanger
and loses its moisture.
– The circuit begins afresh.
Refrigerant circuit
The refrigerant circuit regulates the
heating and cooling of the drying air
through the heat exchanger. The heat
pump is the central component: This
is a compressor that is connected to a
pipeline system which is filled with
refrigerant.
– The pipeline system surrounds the
heat exchanger in several bends.
– The compressor draws in the
gaseous refrigerant and compresses
it, causing the temperature to rise.
– The hot refrigerant is passed through
the pipeline system to the rear of the
heat exchanger. The heat is released
into the drying air, which flows
through the heat exchanger.
– The refrigerant liquifies by dissipating
the heat.
– The liquid refrigerant then flows
through a capillary tube (a very thin
tube) to the front area of the heat
exchanger. This changes the
pressure of the refrigerant.
– The refrigerant cools and reverts to
its gaseous state. This in turn cools
the front area of the heat exchanger
and dehumidifies the drying air.
– The circuit begins anew.
19

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 load the drum with items that
are still soaking wet. 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.
– New dark-coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light-coloured garments. There is 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 tumble
dried. To achieve the usual finish,
double the amount of starch should
be used.
See “Important safety
instructions” for further information.
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 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.
. . . 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
Ensure that any foreign objects
(e.g. detergent dispensing balls,
lighters etc.) have been removed
from the laundry!
Such items could melt or explode
and cause damage to the dryer or
the laundry.
– Wrinkle-free fabric tends to crease
more, the larger the load. This is
particularly the case for garments
made from very fine weave fabric,
such as dress 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 “Program chart”.
This describes the programs and
gives their maximum load.
– Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each
program. This will mean that the
energy consumption for the amount
of laundry is at its most economical.
– Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if tumble
dried. Only use the Woolens/Silks
program for these items.
– Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts,
underwear) tend to shrink when they
are washed for the first time.
Therefore, do not over-dry the fabrics
to prevent them from shrinking
further. Buy jersey fabrics that are
one or two sizes bigger.
– Select the extra Gentle option for
fabric which is particularly heatsensitive or susceptible to creasing.
Selecting the right drying level
– Extra dry or Normal plus if you want
to fold the laundry after drying and
put it in the closet.
– Normal or Slightly dry for textiles that
can shrink. Or for light cotton or
jersey textiles.
– Hand iron or Machine iron if you want
to iron the laundry after drying.
– Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Smoothing program for
these items.
– You should only tumble dry pure linen
if it is specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label. The
surface of the fabric may otherwise
become rough. Only use the
Smoothing program for these items.
