Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to
personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tumble
dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the tumble dryer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
Correct application
This tumble dryer is designed for domestic use and for use in
similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
This tumble dryer is not suitable for outdoor use.
It must only be used to dry items which have been washed in a
water solution and which are marked on the manufacturer's care
label as being suitable for tumble drying. If using dry cleaning kits,
do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held
liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst
using it or have been shown how to use it by a person responsible
for their safety.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble
dryer unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do
not let them play with it.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
visible 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) matches
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring
system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
Miele replacement parts are used.
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 and the plug is withdrawn, or
- it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised
to do so by Miele.
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant. The
refrigerant, which is brought to a higher temperature and liquefied by
condensing, is transferred in a closed circuit through the heat
exchanger unit where heat exchange takes place with the circulating
drying air.
Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer, wait for at least one hour before
switching it on.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of
the dryer.
- The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and “Technical
data”.
The plug and socket must be accessible at all times in order to be
able to disconnect the tumble dryer from the power 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 tumble dryer.
Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Correct use
Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.
To avoid the possible danger of fire, please read these warnings
carefully.
A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 9.0 kg (dry weight). See
the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programmes.
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 and Safety instructions
15
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this tumble dryer:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
- Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other
desposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been
thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that these might ignite when
heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the
end of the programme.
- Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
- Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
- 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.
- Damaged fabrics which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it
igniting in the dryer.
When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use
sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or hair care products, are placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
Warning: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the
programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is
stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up
or spread it out to cool it down.
Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling
down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when
you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-
igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase
has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
The tumble dryer must not be used
- without the fluff filters in place or with damaged fluff filters.
- without the plinth filter in place or with a damaged plinth filter.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.
The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.
Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Do not replace them if they are damp or wet. Damp or wet
filters could cause operational faults.
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 laundry tub 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.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff.
Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the heat
exchanger over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
Warning and Safety instructions
18
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 run out of the flacon. Make sure that
you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted
in it, upright when carrying and do not tip it or place it down on any
surface.
Use an absorbent cloth immediately to wipe up any fragrance
which has run out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer
components (e.g. the fluff filter).
If fragrance which has run out of a flacon should come in contact
with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; come
in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least
15minutes; be 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 run 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
following 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
19
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing
machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Energy saving tips
29
Energy saving tips
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. You can save even more
energy with the following measures,
because 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
spinning laundry at 1600rpm instead
of 1000rpm.
- Use the maximum load quantity for
the drying programme being used.
This will mean that the energy
consumption for the amount of
laundry is the 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
opening 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-
variable, low-cost electricity tariffs.
Ask your energy supplier for
information. Your tumble dryer’s timer
is helpful in this regard as you can
select when during the next 24hours
you want the drying process to start
automatically.

Feedback
You can view information about the
energy consumption of your tumble
dryer in the pull-down menu.
The following information will appear in
the display:
- An estimate of the energy
consumption before the programme

1. Estimate
The estimated energy consumption
will be displayed as a bar chart before
the start of the programme.
Energy consumption
–– ––––––––
The more bars visible, the higher the
energy consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the
drying programme, the drying level and
any Extras selected.
2. Actual consumption
The actual energy consumption and
the costs can be viewed during the
programme or at the end of the
programme.
If the energy consumption is too low to
be measured, <0.1kWh and Cost 0.00
will be displayed. See “Settings -
Consumption” for more detailed
information on costs.
The consumption and cost will alter as
the programme progresses.
At the end of the programme, before
opening the door, you can also call up
the filter soiling level as a %.
Filter soiling
0% = Light
50% = Normal
100% = Heavy
With increased soiling, the programme
duration is extended, which increases
energy consumption.
If the door is opened or the appliance
has switched off automatically at the
end of the programme, the data will
revert to the estimated consumption.
Useful tip: You can view the
consumption data for the last drying
programme and for total consumption
(see “Settings - Consumption”).
1. Notes on correct laundry care
31
Points to note regarding
washed laundry
- When washing very heavily soiled
items, ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
- Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Make sure your laundry
is thoroughly spun before drying. The
higher the spin speed, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
- New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments to avoid the
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 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
instructions” 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.
- 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.
- Fasten hooks and eyes.
- Leave jackets open and undo any
long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
- Sew in or remove loosened
underwiring from bras.
- Reduce the size of the load. Minimum
iron 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
32
Drying
Useful tip: See the “Programme chart”,
which contains everything you need to
know about programmes and load
sizes.
- Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each
programme. This will mean that the
energy consumption for the amount
of laundry is the most economical.
- Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Pure linen should only be tumble
dried if it is specified as suitable on
the care label. The surface of the
fabric may otherwise become rough.
Only use the Pre-ironing programme
for these textiles.
- Woollens and wool blends are
susceptible to becoming matted or
shrinking. Only use the Woollens
handcare programme for these
textiles.
- Loopknit garments (e.g. T-Shirts,
underwear) have a tendency to shrink
after the first wash. To prevent further
shrinkage, avoid overdrying loopknit
fabrics. If possible, choose a slightly
bigger size when buying garments
made from loopknit fabrics.
- If the fabrics are heat-sensitive or
susceptible to creasing, reduce the
load size. You should also select the
Gentle tumble Extra and, for
particularly delicate textiles, the
DryCare40 Extra.

2. Loading the tumble dryer
33
Loading the laundry
Textiles may be damaged.
Before loading, read chapter “1.
Notes on correct laundry care” first.
Open the door.
Remove any items that have been left
inside the drum.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Doing so
will cause unnecessary wear and tear
to the laundry and affect the drying
result. It is also likely to cause more
creasing.
Laundry items may be damaged if
they get trapped by the door.
Checking the FragranceDos socket
If you are not using a fragrance flacon,
check that the 2 FragranceDos sockets
are closed.
See the section “Fragrance flacon” for
information on how to use fragrance
flacons.
Push the tab down completely (see
arrow) so that the socket is closed.
Otherwise, fluff will accumulate here.
Closing the door
Shut the door with a gentle swing.

HygieneDry drying level
Useful tip: The HygieneDry drying level
can be selected for some programmes.
Specific hygiene requirements for
robust garments with the care
symbol are met.
HygieneDry dries items at a temperature
that is constant over an extended
period of time (extended temperature
holding time). This kills off micro-
organisms (such as germs or dust
mites) and reduces allergens in the
laundry.
Useful tip: Reduce the load size for the
corresponding programme to half the
maximum load size specified in these
operating instructions.
Temperature holding time
- An estimated programme running
time is displayed at the start of a
programme for which the HygieneDry
drying level has been selected.
- The programme completes the
normal drying process for laundry
care first. The drying time counts
down to 0minutes. Then the
temperature holding time starts.
- At the start of the temperature
holding time, the remaining
programme running time is extended
by 85minutes to produce a hygienic
drying result.
A programme for which the
HygieneDry drying level has been
selected should not be interrupted,
as this would prevent the micro-
organisms from being killed off.
Do not cancel the drying programme.

PerfectDry measures the residual
moisture of the laundry. In programmes
with selectable drying levels, PerfectDry
dries the laundry precisely, although the
result is also influenced by the calcium
content of the water. PerfectDry
continually adapts, constantly
increasing the accuracy of the time left.
If you place very few items in the
tumble dryer or load it with dry laundry,
this will be sensed by the empty drum
detection feature. The automatic load
recognition function will restrict the
running time of the selected programme
once it has started and will continue to
dry or air your laundry or textiles in a
gentle manner.
Laundry items and fabrics can wear
out unnecessarily.
Avoid over-drying laundry and
garments.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.
Empty the condensed water
container.
We recommend that you drain the
condensed water externally through the
drain hose when drying a full load using
the Cottons and Cottons
programmes. This will avoid having to
empty the condensed water container
during the programme.
Drum lighting
When you open the door of the tumble
dryer, the drum is illuminated along with
the area immediately in front of the
dryer. This prevents you from
accidentally leaving behind any items in
the drum or in your laundry basket.

Extras
46
The drying programmes can be
supplemented with various Extras. The
table lists the selection options.
DryFresh
The Normal drying level can be used to
freshen up clothing that is clean and dry
without wetting it.
The function is slightly less effective
when used with fabrics made of
synthetic fibres.
Useful tip: To enhance the effect, you
can also use the DryFresh fragrance
flacon (optional accessory). Reduce the
size of the load.
DryFresh is not available for all drying
levels.
PowerFresh
This option can be used to freshen up
clothing that is clean and dry by using
steam.
The fabrics are moistened
automatically. As the item is dried, the
heat from the generated water vapour is
transferred directly to the item so that
odour molecules in the fabric can be
freed more easily.
The function is slightly less effective
when used with fabrics made of
synthetic fibres.
Reduce the size of the load to 1kg.
PowerFresh is not available for all
drying levels.
Useful tip: To enhance the effect even
further, you can also use the DryFresh
fragrance flacon (optional accessory).
Condensed water from the condensed
water container is sprayed into the
drum. The condensed water container
must therefore be filled to at least the
―min― mark.
Fill the condensed water container.
See “Condensed water container –
Filling the condensed water container”.
Extras
47
DryCare40
This option dries fabrics gently by using
a particularly low temperature.
It can be used for all fabrics that are
free of wool and are washable at
temperatures of 40°C and above.
In order to achieve an optimal drying
result, please note:
For the respective programme, reduce
the maximum load size specified in
these operating instructions by half.
Exceptions: you must reduce
programmes with a maximum load
size of 9kg to 4kg.
DryCare40 is not available for all drying
levels.
Gentle tumble
The items are dried at a gentle
temperature.
Suitable for all items with the symbol,
e.g. those made from acrylic.
The programme duration is extended.
Quick
Robust garments with the care
symbol can be dried with a reduced
drying time.
The compressor power is increased,
which gives rise to more operating
noise (buzzing/humming).
ECO
The compressor power is reduced
which saves energy. This causes the
programme duration to increase.
Freshen up
Odours are reduced in clean clothing.
The textiles are aired to the Normal
drying level.
The function is slightly less effective
when used with fabrics made of
synthetic fibres.
Useful tip: Dampen the clothing and
use a fragrance flacon to enhance the
freshening effect.

Once the wash programme has
completely finished, the Miele washing
machine transfers the programme
data via the router to which the
networked tumble dryer is also
connected, as well as transferring it to
the Miele Cloud.
The tumble dryer automatically sets a
drying programme tailored to the
laundry based on the transferred
programme data.
All you need to do is start the drying
programme once you have loaded the
tumble dryer. No further programme
settings are required on the tumble
dryer.
The drying programme must be
started within 24 hours of the end of
the wash programme. The data will be
kept available for the tumble dryer
during this period, but will be
overwritten when a new wash
programme ends.
Useful tip: Do not disconnect the
tumble dryer from the network. The
programme data transferred by the
washing machine will be received by
the tumble dryer as soon as you select
Wash2Dry.
If you have disconnected the appliance
from the network beforehand, this will
cause a delay in receiving the data.
Requirements for use
In order to use the Wash2Dry function,
the Miele washing machine and
tumble dryer must be networked using
Miele@home services.
Useful tip: Set up Miele@home as
described in “Before using for the first
time”.
Selecting the
Wash2Dry function
Please wait lights up in the display of
the tumble dryer while the wash
programme is running.
Once the washing machine programme
has completely finished, the drying
programme tailored to the laundry will
be displayed.
After the wash programme has
ended, place the clean laundry in the
tumble dryer and close the door.
To start the programme, all you need
to do is press the Start/Stopsensor
on the tumble dryer.
The programme will not start on this
tumble dryer after washing delicate
textiles (e.g. curtains) in special wash
programmes.

Timer
53
SmartStart
The SmartStart function (only available
in selected countries) lets you define a
time period during which your tumble
dryer will start automatically. The
appliance will start on receipt of a
signal, e.g. from your energy supplier,
that indicates that the electricity rate is
particularly economical.
This function is active when the
SmartGrid setting is switched on.
The timeframe can be defined between
1minute and 24hours. During this
period, the tumble dryer waits for the
signal from the energy supplier. If no
signal is sent during the defined period,
the tumble dryer starts the drying
programme.
Setting the timeframe
If you have activated the SmartGrid
function in the settings, SmartStart or
SmartFinish will appear in the display
instead of Start at or Finish at when
you touch the Timer sensor (see

container must be filled to a certain
level (see “Filling the condensed water
container”).
Condensed water container
56
Filling the condensed water
container
When certain programmes are being
used, condensed water generated
during drying is recycled and sprayed
into the drum via a spray nozzle.
The condensed water container must
therefore be filled to at least the
―min― mark. Otherwise, this could
cause a fault.
The ―min― mark is on the front left-
hand side of the container. If you have
set the appliance up so that condensed
water is drained away, the condensed
water container will be empty.
Check the fill level of the condensed
water container.
Only fill it with commercially available
condensed water (for ironing).
You should only use mains water in
exceptional circumstances.
If mains water is used frequently,
limescale can build up on the spray
jet in the door opening.
1 spout, 2 rubber seal
Pour the condensed water through
the rings on the spout 1.
The spray jet in the door opening
may clog.
Only fill with clean water. Do not add
fragrances, detergents or other

limescale deposits can build up on the
rubber seal 2.
Use a damp cleaning cloth to
carefully remove any limescale
deposits from the rubber seal 2.
Fragrance flacon
57
FragranceDos
Fragrance flacons (optional
accessories) can be used to give your
laundry a pleasant scent.
This dryer has 2 places for inserting
fragrance flacons. This gives you a
choice of how to use them.
- You can use both positions if you
wish to change from one scent to
another. You can close the fragrance
flacon that you are not using.
- Use both positions if you want a more
intense scent of the same fragrance,
or if you wish to conveniently switch
between a scent for normal laundry
and DryFresh to freshen up your
laundry.
- Use one socket only if you only want
to use the one fragrance.
Risk of fire and harm to health if
fragrance flacons are used
incorrectly.
Leaked fragrance can be harmful to
your health if it comes into contact
with your body. Leaked fragrance
can cause a fire.
Before using a fragrance flacon,
please read "Warning and Safety
instructions - Using a fragrance
flacon (optional accessory)”.
Removing the protective seal
from the fragrance flacon

Opening the fragrance flacon
Before drying, you can select the
intensity of the fragrance.
Turn the outer ring clockwise: the
further you open the fragrance flacon,
the more intense the fragrance.
Damp laundry and longer drying
durations with sufficient heat transfer
are needed for the fragrance to be
released into the laundry effectively.
The fragrance will also be noticeable in
the room air during the process. The
Cool Air programme will not generally
apply fragrance.
Closing the fragrance flacon
After drying, the fragrance flacon should
be closed to prevent the fragrance from
escaping needlessly.
Turn the outer ring anti-clockwise
until marker b is in position _.
If you wish to dry laundry without
adding fragrance: remove the
fragrance flacon and store it in its
original packaging.
When the intensity of the fragrance is
no longer sufficient, replace the
fragrance flacon with a new one.

to dry faster.
The plinth filter must not be fitted
dripping wet.
Otherwise, this could cause a fault.
Carefully squeeze the water out of
the plinth filter.
If a drying programme is interrupted
with a fault message after the clean
plinth filter has been fitted, the plinth
filter was too wet when it was fitted.
Gently squeeze the water out of the
plinth filter again. Leave the plinth filter
to air-dry.
If a fault occurs again despite this, it
may be caused by stubborn residue
from washing substances. Reactivate

Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The DryCare40 Extra is
not drying the laundry
sufficiently.
The room in which the tumble dryer is located is too
warm. This has caused the DryCare process to finish
prematurely.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
To fully dry the laundry, select Warm air with the
DryCare40 Extra.
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Warm air programme.
Select a more suitable programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some
programmes. See “Settings - Drying levels”.
Laundry or feather filled
pillows smell after
drying.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Feathers are a natural product and this is quite
normal.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent next time.
Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and aerate.
Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional
accessory).
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
softener to the final rinse in the washing
programme.
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
being 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 drying process takes a long time.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The drying process
goes on for too long or
even switches off.*
The room in which the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the
filters.
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 tumble dryer has been overloaded.
Untangle the laundry and remove a few items, if
necessary.
Start a programme.
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.
Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The laundry is too damp.
Spin the laundry using a higher spin speed in the
washing machine.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented
the dryer from registering the correct moisture level.
Open the zippers 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.

General problems with the tumble dryer
Problem Possible cause and remedy
You can hear buzzing or
humming operating
noises.
The compressor (heat pump) is operating. Or you
have selected a programme which sprays
condensed water into the drum.
No action is required. These noises are quite
normal and can be heard when the compressor
or the condensed water pump is operating.
There is no fault.
A programme cannot be
started.
There is no obvious cause.
Connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity
supply
Turn on the tumble dryer.
Close the door.
Check whether the mains fuse has tripped.
Has there been a power cut? When power is
restored, any previously running programme will
restart automatically.
When the DryFresh,
PowerFresh or
DryCare40 Extras are
selected, the drying
level “jumps back” to a
different one.
The drying level you selected previously cannot be
combined with the Extra. The closest possible
drying level is selected automatically.
The display is dark and
the Start/Stop sensor is
flashing slowly.
The display has switched off automatically to save
energy (Standby mode).
The drum will rotate from time to time when the dryer
is in the Anti-crease phase.
Touch any sensor. This switches Standby off.
The dryer is switched

74
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The interior drum
lighting does not come
on.
To save energy, the drum lighting goes out
automatically after a set time and after the
programme starts.
Switch the dryer off and then on again.
To switch the drum lighting on, open the door of
the tumble dryer.
The drum lighting is faulty.
The drum lighting is designed to last a long time and
should not normally need to be replaced.
If you have tried the remedies above but the drum
lighting still does not come on, please contact
Miele.
The spray jet for
spraying condensed
water into the drum is
insufficient.
When certain programmes are being used, water is
taken from the condensed water container and
sprayed into the drum. The spray jet can sometimes
stop working.
The fluff filter in the condensed water container is
clogged.
Clean the fluff filter in the condensed water
container. See “Cleaning the fluff filter in the
condensed water container” in this section.
The spray jet in the door opening is heavily calcified.
Replace the spray jet. See “Replacing the
condensed water spray jet” in this section.
Only use condensed water. Do not use tap water.
Tap water leads to limescale deposits in the long run.

Replacing the plinth filter
The heat exchanger can clog up.
Replace the plinth filter immediately
(replacement filters are available as
an optional accessory) if you see the
following signs of wear before or
after cleaning.
Poor fit
The edges of the plinth filter do not sit
properly and the filter is deformed. Fluff
will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through edges that do not sit
properly. This will eventually cause
obstruction in the heat exchanger.
Deformations
Deformations indicate that the filter has
become worn.

Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through cracks and tears and
will cause obstruction. This will
eventually cause obstruction in the heat
exchanger.
White residues or residues of other
colours
Residues arise from laundry fibres and
residual detergent components. They
can be found on the front and side
edges of the plinth filter. In extreme
cases, they can form stubborn crusts.
Residues are a sign that the filter no
longer has a snug fit at the sides, even
if it appears to be perfect.
Fluff is getting in unfiltered at the edges.
Regenerate the plinth filter (see
"Problem solving guide - Regenerating
the plinth filter"). If the plinth filter shows
these residues again soon, the plinth
filter must be replaced.
Problem solving guide
77
Regenerating the plinth filter
You can regenerate one or more dirty
plinth filters in the washing machine.
The plinth filter will be ready for use
again.
Before regenerating it, check whether
the plinth filter is still in good
condition. Check the plinth filter in
accordance with the descriptions in
"Problem solving guide - Replacing
the plinth filter". If the plinth filter is
worn, replace it.
Wash one or more plinth filters
separately without garments. Do not
add laundry detergent.
Select a short wash programme with
a maximum temperature of 40°C and
a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
After washing and spinning, you can
refit the plinth filter.
Checking the heat exchanger
Risk of injury from sharp cooling
fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins.
Look to see if fluff has accumulated.
If fluff is present, it must be removed.
Damage due to incorrect
cleaning 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
dusting brush attached. Only pass
the vacuum cleaner dusting brush
over the fins lightly, without applying
any pressure.
Carefully vacuum up any fluff and
residues.

Transporting the tumble dryer
Danger of injury to people and
damage to property caused by
moving the appliance incorrectly.
If the tumble dryer tips over, there is
a danger of injury to people and
damage to property.
Ensure that the tumble dryer is stable
during transportation.
If the tumble dryer is being
transported horizontally, it must only
be tipped onto its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being
transported upright and you are using
a handcart or trolley, you must only
transport it with its left or right side
resting on the handcart or trolley.
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
protrudes 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*
83
Installation
Levelling the dryer
The appliance must not be installed
behind a lockable door, a sliding
door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the tumble
dyer, in such a way that a full
opening of the tumble dryer door is
restricted.
Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
To ensure proper operation, the tumble
dryer must stand perfectly level. The
screw feet on the tumble dryer can be
adjusted to compensate for unevenness
in the floor.
Turn the screw feet by hand or with a
flat open spanner.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
84
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.
Ventilation
The cool air intake at the front of the
tumble dryer must not be blocked or
covered. This would hinder a
sufficient 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
sufficient flow of air to the tumble
dryer.
Adequate ventilation has to be
provided to avoid the backflow of
gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open
fires.
Air which is taken in to cool the heat
exchanger is then blown back out of the
dryer and warms up the air in the room.
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the
room, e.g. by opening a window. The
drying time will otherwise take longer
(higher energy requirement).
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
of the pump. This water can run out if
the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is
being moved. Recommendation: Run
the Warm air programme for
approximately 1minute without a load
before moving the tumble dryer. Any
remaining condensed water will then be
fed into the condensed water container,
which can then be emptied, or can
drain out through the drain hose.

person in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For safety reasons, we recommend
using a suitable residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical
installation for connecting the tumble
dryer.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from Miele).
For safety reasons, such replacement
may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician or a
Miele authorised service technician, in
order to avoid a hazard.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the connection
data. Compare this information with the

Weight of dry laundry
All data was calculated using EN 61121 unless otherwise stated.
Consumption data can vary from the nominal values given above depending on the size of the
load, types of textiles, residual moisture levels after spinning and fluctuations in the electricity
supply, or when water hardness levels differ from specified values.
Using the Cottons Normal programme is recommended for a mixed cotton load and is the programme
used in energy consumption tests according to AS/NZS 2442 (Refer to http://www.energyrating.gov.au
website for consumption data).
The consumption data displayed by the tumble dryer may differ from the consumption data listed in the
table. The differences are due to how data is calculated in the tumble dryer. For instance, when the
programme running time is calculated, it is influenced by the residual moisture and composition of the
laundry load, which – in turn – has an impact on the amount of energy required.

the Miele@home setting is set up and
activated.
Once the Miele App has been installed
on your mobile device, you can check
the status of your tumble dryer from
anywhere and start it remotely. You
can also control it remotely via the
MobileStart programme.
You can switch off the Remote control
setting if you do not want to operate the
dryer with your mobile device.
If Remote control is not switched on, the
App can cause the programme to be
cancelled.
Use the Timer sensor to set a timeframe
within which you want to start the
tumble dryer and start the timer (see
“Timer/SmartStart”).
The tumble dryer will then start within
the specified timeframe when it receives
your signal.
If it has not received a start signal by
the latest start time set, the tumble
dryer will start automatically.
Remote control is activated as
standard.

RemoteUpdate
The RemoteUpdate function is used for
updating the software in your tumble
dryer.
RemoteUpdate is activated at the
factory.
If you do not install a RemoteUpdate,
you can continue to use your tumble
dryer in the usual way. However, Miele
recommends installing RemoteUpdates.
Activation
The RemoteUpdate menu option is
only displayed and can only be
selected if you have added your dryer
to your Wi-Fi network (see “Settings -
Miele@home”).
Miele’s RemoteUpdate function can
only be used if the tumble dryer is
connected to a Wi-Fi network and you
have an account in the Miele App. The
dryer must be registered in the App.
See the Miele App for terms and
conditions of use.
Some software updates can only be
carried out by Miele Service.
Running a RemoteUpdate
If a RemoteUpdate is available for your
dryer, it will be displayed automatically
for you.
You can choose to start the
RemoteUpdate immediately or wait until
later. If you select “Start later”, the
prompt to run the RemoteUpdate will
be displayed again the next time you
switch on the dryer.
The RemoteUpdate can take several
minutes.
Please note the following information
about the RemoteUpdate function:
- You will only receive a message when
a RemoteUpdate is available.
- Once a RemoteUpdate has been
installed, it cannot be undone.
- Do not switch off the dryer during a
RemoteUpdate. Otherwise, the
RemoteUpdate will be aborted and
will not be installed.
