Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
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 manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man 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 com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible 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.

undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty. Ensure cur-
rent is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or re-
pair work has been carried out.
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.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to pre-
vent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to carry out mainten-
ance on a regular basis.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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– it is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or the mains fuse is disconnected
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applic-
able), or it is switched off at the isolator switch.
See “Installation - Electrical connection”.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
See “Installation” and “Technical data”.
The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured, in order to
separate the tumble dryer from the mains. All electrical work should
be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in
strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made
on site to switch off all poles to disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
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.
Do not install a lockable door, a sliding door or a door which is
hinged in the opposite direction to the dryer door.
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. relating to temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.

Correct use
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7 kg (dry weight).The
maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are given
in the Programme chart.
Do not lean on the door. Otherwise, the tumble dryer may tip over,
causing injury to yourself or others.
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 use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff. Dust drawn into the dryer can, over time, cause blockages.
Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
The tumble dryer must not be used:
– Without the fluff filters in place or without the filter in the plinth.
– If the fluff filters or the filter in the plinth are damaged in any way.
In case of damage, the fluff filters and plinth filter must be re-
placed immediately.
A damaged filter would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in
turn would cause a tumble dryer fault.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
– Remove the fluff from the fluff filter surfaces after every drying
cycle.
– The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning them with water. Wet or damp fluff filters/plinth filter
could cause operational faults while drying.
– In addition, the fluff filters, filter surfaces and the air passages
must be cleaned when prompted by the display.
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 or hoses.
The ambient room temperature should be between 2°C and 35°C.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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 depos-
its (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thor-
oughly 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 acetone,
petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, waxes, wax re-
movers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths) should
be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the tumble dryer.
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing very heavily soiled items ensure that you use suffi-
cient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt wash
several times before drying.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
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-ig-
niting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase
is complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the pro-
gramme before removing the laundry.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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).
If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling
down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.
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.
– Fabrics which contain damaged padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it
igniting in the dryer.
The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many pro-
grammes are followed by the cooling phase to ensure that the items
are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also reduces
the risk of the laundry self-igniting).
Always remove all laundry as soon as the programme has finished.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not
be stored or used near the machine. Danger of explosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Do not expose the dryer to air which is contaminated with vapour
of chlorine, fluorine or other solvents. Danger of fire.
For tumble dryers with stainless steel surfaces:
The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless
steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.
Do not store containers of these agents near the tumble dryer.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)
Only ever use original Miele fragrance flacons.
The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please
make sure you retain this.
Make sure that you always keep the fragrance flacon or the fluff
filter with the flacon inserted in it in a horizontal position when carry-
ing, and do not tip or place it down on any surface. The fragrance
can leak out of the flacon.
Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has
leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer com-
ponents (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
15minutes; 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 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.

– Heavily soiled laundry must be
washed particularly thoroughly. Use
sufficient detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
– New, coloured items must be washed
thoroughly and separately. Do not dry
these items with light coloured gar-
ments. There is the risk of colours
running and discolouring other gar-
ments or even plastic components in
the tumble dryer. Dark coloured fluff
can also settle on light coloured gar-
ments and vice versa.
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 tumble dryer and the surround-
ings.
See the section on “Warning and
safety” for further information.
– Check seams and stitching to ensure
that the items are intact. This way you
will avoid the danger of fillings com-
ing out and causing a fire.

Cleaning and care
38
Observing the cleaning inter-
vals
This tumble dryer is equipped with a
multi-stage filter system, which con-
sists of a fluff filter and a plinth filter.
This filter system collects all fluff gen-
erated during the drying process.
Failure to clean the filter regularly could
increase drying times.
Fire hazard due to irregular main-
tenance.
Too many fluff deposits in the filter
system and tumble dryer will result in
a risk of fire.
Check the filter system and air guide
area on a regular basis. Clean the fil-
ter if you find any fluff deposits.
Damage caused by a missing or
damaged filter system.
Too many fluff deposits in the filter
system and tumble dryer will result in
a risk of appliance malfunctions and
a risk of fire.
Never use the tumble dryer without
the filter system. Always replace a
damaged filter system immediately.
Cleaning the fluff filters
This tumble dryer has 2fluff filters in
the door opening: the upper and lower
fluff filters trap fluff produced during
the drying process.
Clean the fluff filters after each drying
programme. This prevents an exten-
sion of the programme duration.
Also clean the fluff filters when the
indicator light comes on.
To turn the indicator light off:
Open and close the door while the
tumble dryer is switched on.
Removing the fragrance flacon
The intensity of the fragrance will be di-
minished if the fluff filters and the plinth
filter are not cleaned.
Remove the fragrance flacon. See
“Fragrance flacon”, “Removing/repla-
cing the fragrance flacon”.
Cleaning and care

position until it clicks.
Close the door.
Cleaning and care
40
Cleaning the fluff filters and air flow
openings thoroughly
If the drying duration has become
longer or the surface of the fluff filters
is visibly compacted with fluff, you
should carry out the following cleaning
procedure.
Remove the fragrance flacon. See
“Fragrance flacon”.

Cleaning and care
42
Cleaning the plinth filter
Clean the plinth filter whenever the
indicator light comes on or when
the programme duration is longer than
usual.
To turn the indicator light off:
Open and close the door while the
tumble dryer is switched on.
Tip:
With normal use
of the tumble dryer,
clean the plinth filter when the indic-
ator light comes on.
With continuous use
of the tumble
dryer, clean the plinth filter once a day.
Damage caused by insufficient
cleaning or by operation with a worn,
damaged filter in the plinth.
There is insufficient flow of air and
heat in the heat exchanger due to
clogging. This requires a visit from
the Service department.
This can be avoided by following the
advice in these operating instruc-
tions.
Removing the plinth filter
Press the round, indented area on the
heat exchanger access panel to open
it.
The panel will spring open.
Pull the plinth filter out by the handle.
This causes the right-hand guide pin in
the tumble dryer to come out. This
guide pin ensures that the heat ex-
changer access panel can only be
closed if the plinth filter is inserted the
right way round.
Cleaning and care
43
Cleaning the plinth filter
Clean the plinth filter thoroughly un-
der running water.
Squeeze the plinth filter very carefully
several times as you rinse it.
Rinse the plinth filter until all visible
residues have been removed.
This can cause a fault.
The plinth filter must not be replaced
dripping wet.
Damage caused by an insuffi-
ciently cleaned or damaged plinth fil-
ter.
If the plinth filter has not been prop-
erly cleaned or is damaged, the heat
exchanger will be clogged. There will
be an insufficient flow of air and heat
in the heat exchanger. This will re-
quire a visit from the Service depart-
ment.
Before and after cleaning, check the
plinth filter in accordance with the
description in “Replacing the plinth
filter”. The plinth filter must be per-
fectly functional and undamaged
after cleaning.
Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff
from the handle.
Replacing the plinth filter
Filter wear caused by continuous
tumble dryer use.
If the tumble dryer is in continuous
use and is being cleaned regularly,
the plinth filter can begin to show
signs of wear after a while. This can
clog up the heat exchanger.
Replace the filter immediately if you
see the following signs of wear be-
fore or after cleaning (optional ac-
cessory).
Cleaning and care
44
Poor fit
The edges of the filter do not sit prop-
erly and the filter is deformed. Fluff will
blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered
through edges that do not sit properly.
This will cause a permanent obstruction
in the heat exchanger.
Deformation
Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu-
ous use.
Cracks, tears, indentations
Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through cracks and tears and
will cause obstruction.
Indentations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu-
ous use.
Cleaning and care
45
White residues or residues of other col-
ours
Residues arise from laundry fibres and
traces of detergent components which
can clog the filter. They can be found
on the front and side edges of the filter.
In extreme cases, they can form stub-
born crust.
Residues are a sign that the filter is no
longer a snug fit at the sides, even if it
appears to be perfect: fluff is getting in
unfiltered at the edges.
If these residues appear on the filters
again soon after cleaning, the filter must
be replaced.
Cleaning the plinth filter flap
Use a damp cleaning cloth to remove
any fluff.
Make sure you do not damage the
rubber seal.
Check whether the cooling fins are
blocked with fluff (as follows).
Cleaning and care
46
Checking the heat exchanger
Risk of injury from sharp cooling
fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins with
your hands.
Look to see if fluff has accumulated.
If you notice any visible soiling:
Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing of the heat exchanger.
The tumble dryer will not dry if the
cooling fins are damaged or bent.
Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a
suction brush attached. Only pass
the vacuum cleaner suction brush
over the heat exchanger cooling fins
lightly, without applying any pres-
sure.
Carefully vacuum up any visible fluff
or soiling.
Cleaning and care
47
Inserting the plinth filter
Fit the plinth filter back on the handle.
Make sure it is the correct way round.
To ensure that the plinth filter is posi-
tioned correctly in the front of the heat
exchanger unit:
First insert the handle with the plinth
filter attached over the two guide
pins:
– The word Miele on the handle must
be the correct way up.
Push the plinth filter in completely.
This will push in the right-hand guide
pin at the same time.
Close the heat exchanger access
panel.
Damage or ineffective drying if
drying takes place without a plinth
filter or when the heat exchanger ac-
cess panel is open.
An excessive accumulation of fluff
can damage the tumble dryer in the
long term. If the system is not leak-
tight, this can make the drying inef-
fective.
You may only operate the tumble
dryer with the plinth filter fitted cor-
rectly and the heat exchanger access
panel closed.
Cleaning and care
48
Cleaning the tumble dryer
Disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
Damage caused by the use of
unsuitable care products.
Unsuitable care products could dam-
age plastic surfaces and other parts.
Do not use any solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners, or all-pur-
pose cleaners.
Danger of electric shock caused
by water.
There is a risk of electric shock if wa-
ter runs over or into the tumble dryer.
Never spray the tumble dryer with
water. Only ever clean the appliance
with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
Clean the tumble dryer and the seal
on the inside of the door with a
slightly damp soft cloth and a mild
solution of washing-up liquid and wa-
ter.
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.
The drum and other stainless steel
parts can be cleaned with a suitable
stainless steel cleaner.

Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Cause and remedy
The laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Warm air programme.
Select a more suitable programme next time.
Useful tip: You can alter the drying levels for some
programmes. See “Programmable functions”, sec-
tions “ Drying levels Cottons” and “ Drying
levels Minimum iron”.
Laundry or feather filled
pillows smell after dry-
ing.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite nor-
mal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
Allow feather pillows to air after tumble drying.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
conditioner to the final rinse in the washing pro-
gramme or a fabric conditioner sheet to the load
when drying.
There is a build-up of
fluff.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments
are being worn and to some extent when they are be-
ing washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff
to form and has no appreciable effect on the lifetime
of the fabric.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and fine filter and
can be easily removed
(see “Cleaning and care”).
Problem solving guide

ters.
Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter (see
“Cleaning and care”, sections “Cleaning the fluff
filters” and “Cleaning the plinth filter”).
Remove any visible fluff from the heat exchanger
(see “Cleaning and care”, “Cleaning the plinth fil-
ter”).
The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up.
The drum is too full.
Disentangle the laundry and remove a few items.
Start a programme.
The bottom right grille is blocked.
Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away

chine.
Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the
tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry
moisture level.
Open any zips next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.
* Switch the tumble dryer off; wait a short while before starting a new programme.

Transporting the tumble dryer to its
installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid.
The fixings at the back of the lid
could break as a result of external
forces. There is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.
Before carrying the machine, check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the machine.
Carry the tumble dryer by the front
feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the appliance.
Installation
Ensure that no closeable door, slid-
ing door, or an oppositely hinged
door is installed that would hinder
the door of the tumble dryer being
opened in any way.
Downtime after installation
Damage caused by switching the
appliance 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.
Levelling the tumble dryer
The appliance must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.

*INSTALLATION*
59
The screw feet can be adjusted to com-
pensate for unevenness in the floor.
This tumble dryer is not suitable for
building under.
Never block the ventilation slots on
the tumble dryer. 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.
Room ventilation
– Air drawn in for use in the drying pro-
cess will be warm when it is expelled
back into the room. It is therefore
very important to ensure the room is
adequately ventilated, particularly if
the dryer is located in a small room.
– 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.
Otherwise running times and energy
consumption could be increased.

Electrical connection
This description applies to tumble dry-
ers both with and without a mains
plug.
The following applies to tumble dryers
with a mains plug:
– This tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable and plug ready for con-
nection.
– The electrical socket must be easily
accessible so that the tumble dryer
can be disconnected from the electri-
city supply.
Damage caused by incorrect
supply voltage.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the appro-
priate fuse rating.
Compare the specifications on the
data plate with those of the mains
electricity supply and make sure that
they match.
The tumble dryer may only be connec-
ted to a permanent electrical system
that conforms to the national and local
codes and regulations.
The tumble dryer should never be con-
nected by an extension cable, e.g.
power strips, to avoid the risk of fire.
If the machine is hard wired, a dual cir-
cuit breaker must be provided on-site.
When switched off there must be an all-
pole contact gap of at least 3mm in the
isolator switch (including miniature cir-
cuit breaker, switch, fuses and relays
according to IEC/EN60947). This con-
nection process must be performed by
a qualified electrician.
The plug connector or isolator switch
should be easily accessible at all times.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
If the tumble dryer is disconnected
from the mains, protective measures
must be taken to ensure that the
point of disconnection cannot acci-
dentally be switched on again.
Make sure the isolator is lockable or
the point of disconnection is mon-
itored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the
system, or servicing of the earthing
conductor, including determining the
correct fuse amperage, must be carried
out by a qualified electrician, as they
are familiar with the pertinent regula-
tions and the specific requirements of
the electric utility company.
The tumble dryer must not be con-
nected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off automatic-
ally.
Single phase AC 230 V – country vari-
ant 230V 25A
This device is intended for connection
to a power supply system where the
maximum value of external phase neut-
ral loop impedance Zmax of 0.38 Ohms
at the point of distributor supply con-
nection is not exceeded.
The user has to ensure that this device
is connected only to a power supply
system which fulfils the requirement
above. If in doubt, please ask your elec-
trical distributor for actual impedance
value.
