Caring for the environment

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

dryer’s 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.

dryer unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do

not let them play with it.

Warnings and safety instructions

Technical safety

 Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-

ible 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 electri-

cian.

 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 re-

quirement 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

 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 ori-

ginal 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.

 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

 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.

 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

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.

Warnings and safety instructions

 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

 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

 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.

Warnings 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 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.

Warnings and safety instructions

Accessories

 Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance

and product liability claims will be invalidated.

 The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine

in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit (avail-

able to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine is

required.

 If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as

an optional accessory - depending on country), make sure it is the

correct one.

(e.g. the data plate) which are visible

when you open the door.

Follow the procedure for using

for the first time outlined in

these instructions

 Read “1. Notes on correct laundry

care” and “2. Load the tumble dryer”.

 You can then load the dryer and se-

lect a programme as described in “3.

Select a programme and start it”.

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 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.

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 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.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

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.

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.

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”.

Problem solving guide

The drying cycle duration is very long

Problem Cause and remedy

The drying process

goes on too long or

even switches off.*

The room where the tumble dryer is located is too

warm.

 Ventilate the room thoroughly.

Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil-

ters.

 Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter.

 Remove visible fluff from the heat exchanger.

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

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.

 Open any zips next time.

 If the problem recurs, dry these items using the

Warm air timed drying programme.

* Switch the tumble dryer off and on again before starting a new programme.

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.

Problem solving guide

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.

Problem solving guide

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

*INSTALLATION*

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.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

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.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Additional installation require-

ments

Slot-in

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

removed immediately. You can reduce

the duration of the anti-crease phase.

Options

 = no Anti-crease

 = 1 hour
