Caring for the environment
5
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
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Take care not to damage your tumble
dryers pipework and heat exchanger
before or during transportation to an
authorised collection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
tumble dryer and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please make use of officially designated
collection and disposal points to dis-
pose of and recycle electrical and elec-
tronic appliances in your local com-
munity, with your dealer or with Miele.
By law, you are solely responsible for
deleting any personal data from the ap-
pliance prior to disposal. Please ensure
that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to dis-
posal.

This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resist-
ance, 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.
This tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed
by the compressor. Having been increased to a high temperature
level as as result of the condensing process, the refrigerant passes
through a closed refrigerant circuit. The heat generated is transferred
to the drying air as flows through the heat exchanger.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the tumble dryer.
- The refrigerant is environmentally friendly and causes no damage
to the ozone layer.
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
starting a drying programme.
background
Warnings and safety instructions
11
The R290 refrigerant contained in this tumble dryer is flammable
and explosive. If the tumble dryer is damaged, proceed as follows:
- Avoid naked flames or anything which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer is located.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service Department.
Risk of fire and explosion due to damage to the tumble dryer.
The refrigerant is flammable and explosive if it leaks.
Take measures to protect the tumble dryer against damage. Do not
make any alterations to the tumble dryer.
Follow the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical data”.
The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.

Correct use
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 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.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.
The fluff filters or the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Wet fluff/plinth filters could cause operational faults while
drying.
background
Warnings and safety instructions
13
To prevent the risk of fire, textiles that have not been cleaned thor-
oughly or are still soiled with deposits of any kind must not be dried
in this tumble dryer. This applies in particular to textiles that
- have not been washed.
- have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease,
oil or other deposits (such as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions,
etc.). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger
that they might ignite when heated, even after they have been re-
moved from the tumble dryer at the end of the programme.
- 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 chemic-
als (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
- items that 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 temper-
ature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, these textiles must not be tumble dried:
- textiles that have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents)
- textiles 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.
- textiles containing padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g. pil-
lows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire.

Warnings and safety instructions
14
The heat pump that is essential to the operation of this tumble
dryer generates a great deal of heat inside its casing. There must be
a reliable means of dissipating this heat. Otherwise loads could take
longer to dry or the tumble dryer might sustain damage in the long
term.
The following mandatory requirements must be met:
- permanent room ventilation from the beginning to the end of
every drying programme
- a gap between the floor and the bottom of the tumble dryer (this
must not be blocked or obstructed in any way)
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up.
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
has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
background
Warnings and safety instructions
15
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.
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.
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 con-
sumed.
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.

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 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
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 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.

background
Energy saving tips
22
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following meas-
ures as the drying time is not exten-
ded 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 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.
- 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.
- If possible, make use of time-vari-
able, low-cost electricity tariffs. Ask
your energy supplier for information.
Your tumble dryer's delay start func-
tion will be useful as you can select
when during the next 24 hours you
want drying to start automatically.
background
1. Notes on correct laundry care
23
Points to note regarding
washed laundry
- When washing very heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high temperat-
ure. If in doubt, wash the items sev-
eral 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 discol-
ouring other garments or even plastic
components in the dryer. Dark col-
oured 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” 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.
- 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.
background

24
Drying
Tip: See the “Programme chart”.
It lists all programmes and their max-
imum load.
- Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load for each programme.
This will mean that the energy con-
sumption for the amount of laundry is
at its most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink, de-
pending 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 fab-
ric 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 tex-
tiles.
- 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 fur-
ther shrinking. Buy jersey garments
that are one or two sizes bigger.
- With fabrics that are particularly heat-
sensitive or susceptible to creasing,
reduce the drying load and select
Gentle tumble.

FragranceDos
Fragrance flacons (optional accessor-
ies) can be used to give your laundry a
pleasant scent.
Tip: You can simply close the fragrance
flacon if you want to dry textiles without
adding fragrance.
Risk of fire and damage to health
if fragrance flacons are used incor-
rectly.
The leaked fragrance can damage
your health if it comes into contact
with your body. Leaked fragrance
can cause fire.
Before using a fragrance flacon,
please read “Warnings and safety in-
structions”, “Using the fragrance
flacon (optional accessory)”.
Removing the protective seal from
the fragrance flacon
Only hold the fragrance flacon as il-
lustrated. Do not hold it at an angle
or tip it, as the fragrance will leak out
of it.
Take the fragrance flacon out of its
packaging.
Do not attempt to open the fragrance
flacon.
Hold the fragrance flacon securely so
that you do not open it by mistake.
Pull off the protective seal.

Opening the fragrance flacon
Before drying, you can select the in-
tensity of the fragrance.
Turn the outer ring clockwise: the fur-
ther you open the fragrance flacon,
the more intense the fragrance.
Damp laundry and longer drying dura-
tions with sufficient heat transfer are
needed for the fragrance to be released
into the laundry effectively. The fra-
grance will also be noticeable in the
room air during the process.
Closing the fragrance flacon
After drying, the fragrance flacon should
be closed to prevent the fragrance from
escaping needlessly.
Turn the outer ring counter-clockwise
until marker b is in position _.
If you wish to dry without the fra-
grance occasionally: remove the fra-
grance flacon and store it in its original
packaging.
Replace the fragrance flacon with a
new one when the intensity of the fra-
grance is no longer sufficient.

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

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.
Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them.
Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory) for your favourite fragrance.
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.
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.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.
See “Cleaning and care”.

The bottom right grille is blocked.
Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The laundry is too damp.
Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the
tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry
moisture level.

Replacing the plinth filter
The heat exchanger can clog up.
Replace the plinth filter immediately
if you see the following signs of wear
before or after cleaning (optional ac-
cessory).
Poor fit
The edges of the plinth filter do not sit
properly and the plinth filter is out of
shape. Fluff will blow into the heat ex-
changer unfiltered through edges that
do not sit properly. This will, in time,
cause a blockage in the heat ex-
changer.
Deformations
Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu-
ous use.
background
Problem solving guide
53
Cracks, tears, indentations
Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
through cracks and tears. This will, in
time, cause a blockage in the heat ex-
changer.
White residues or residues of other col-
ours
These residues arise from laundry fibres
and traces of detergent components.
They can be found on the front and side
edges of the plinth filter. In extreme
cases, they can form stubborn crust.
Residues are a sign that the plinth filter
no is longer a snug fit at the sides, even
if it appears to be perfect:
fluff is getting in unfiltered at the edges.
Reactivate the plinth filter. If these
residues appear on the plinth filter again
soon after cleaning, the plinth filter must
be replaced.

Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more soiled
plinth filters in a washing machine. You
will then be able to use the plinth filter
again.
Prior to reactivation, check that the
plinth filter is in good order. Check the
plinth filter following the instructions
provided in “Problem solving guide –
Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the
plinth filter if it has worn out.
Wash the plinth filter(s) separately,
not with any laundry items. Do not
add any detergent.
Select a short wash programme with
a maximum temperature of 40°C and
a maximum spin speed of 600rpm.
You can re-insert the plinth filter once
the wash and spin cycles are complete.
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.
Remove any fluff you can see.
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 brush over the
heat exchanger cooling fins lightly,
without applying any pressure.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff
and residues.

Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and
damage to property caused by mov-
ing the appliance incorrectly.
If the tumble dryer tips up there is a
danger of injury to people and dam-
age to property.
Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable
during transportation.
If the tumble dryer is being transpor-
ted on its side, it must be tipped onto
its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being transpor-
ted upright and you are using a hand
truck, you must transport it with its
left or right side resting on the truck.
Transporting the tumble dryer to its
installation site
Make sure the fixings at the back
of the lid are secure.
Otherwise there is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the appliance check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the appliance.
Carry the tumble dryer by the front
feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the appliance.

Installation
Levelling the tumble dryer
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.
The tumble dryer must stand perfectly
level to ensure safe and proper opera-
tion.
The screw feet can be adjusted to com-
pensate for unevenness in the floor.
Risk of fire and explosion due to
damage to the tumble dryer.
The refrigerant is flammable and ex-
plosive.
Do not make any alterations to the
tumble dryer. Take measures to pro-
tect the tumble dryer against dam-
age.
If the tumble dryer is damaged, proceed
as follows:
- Avoid naked flames or anything
which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer
is located.
- Contact the Miele Customer Service
Department.
Downtime after installation
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.
background
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
59
Ventilation
The cool air intake at the front of the
tumble dryer must not be blocked or
covered. This would hinder a suffi-
cient intake of cool air for the heat
exchanger.
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 suffi-
cient flow of air to the tumble dryer.
The hot air that is blown out from the
heat exchanger warms the room air. En-
sure sufficient ventilation of the room:
e.g., open the window. The drying time
will otherwise take longer (higher energy
requirement).
The heat pump that is essential to
the operation of this tumble dryer
generates a great deal of heat inside
its casing. There must be a reliable
means of dissipating this heat.
Otherwise loads could take longer to
dry or the tumble dryer might sustain
damage in the long term.
Permanent room ventilation during
every drying programme and the gap
between the bottom of the tumble
dryer and the floor are mandatory re-
quirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of con-
densed water will collect in the area of
the pump. This water can run out if the
tumble dryer is tipped up when it is be-
ing moved. Recommendation: run the
Warm air programme for approximately
1minute before moving the tumble
dryer. Any remaining condensed water
will then be fed into the condensed wa-
ter container or out through the drain
hose.

Electrical connection
The tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug ready
for connection to a suitable earthed
socket.
The socket must be easily accessible
after the tumble dryer has been in-
stalled. If the socket is not easily ac-
cessible, ensure that a suitable means
of disconnection is provided on the in-
stallation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the tumble dryer to a
multi-socket adapter or to an exten-
sion lead can overload the mains
connection cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable or multi-socket ad-
apter.
The electrical system must comply with
local and national safety regulations
(BS7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a type A residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical installa-
tion for connecting the tumble dryer.
If the mains connection cable is dam-
aged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a qualified spe-
cialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the
data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse
rating. Compare this information with
the data of the on-site electrical con-
nection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified elec-
trician.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to a
stand-alone inverter, such as those
used with an autonomous power sup-
ply, e.g. solar power. When the tumble
dryer is switched on, power surges
could result in auto switch off. This
could damage the electronic module.

Important
This programmable function should only
be set if the water used for washing the
laundry is extremely soft with a con-
ductivity reading (electrical conductivity)
