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
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds 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 your household waste.
Take care not to damage the tumble
dryer’s pipework and heat exchanger
before or during transportation to an
authorised collection depot.
This is to ensure that refrigerant in the
tumble dryer and oil in the compressor
are contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact Miele. You are
also responsible for deleting any
personal data that may be stored on the
appliance being disposed of. Please
ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored awaiting disposal.

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.
Warnings and safety instructions
9
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.
Warnings and safety instructions
10
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.
This tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed
by the compressor. Having been increased to a high temperature
level by compression, the refrigerant passes through a closed
refrigerant circuit. The heat generated is transferred to the drying air
as it passes through the heat exchanger.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the correct functioning of
the dryer.
- The refrigerant is environmentally friendly and does not damage
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
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 dryer from the electricity supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer is located.
- Contact Miele Customer Service.
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 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.
Warnings and safety instructions
12
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 8.0 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: 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.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
Warnings and safety instructions
13
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.
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, be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
To prevent the risk of fire, textiles that have not been cleaned
thoroughly or are still soiled with deposits of any kind must not be
dried in this tumble dryer. This applies in particular to
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items, such as workwear, which 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 removed from the tumble 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.
Warnings and safety instructions
14
When washing such heavily soiled items:
Ensure that you use a larger quantity of detergent and select a
high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must never be
dried in the tumble dryer:
- 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 which contain padding or fillings which are damaged (e.g.
pillows, jackets). The filling could fall out and cause a fire.
The heat pump that is essential to the operation of this tumble
dryer generates a lot of heat inside its casing. It must be possible to
dissipate this heat well. 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.
Warnings and safety instructions
15
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.
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 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.
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.
Warnings and safety instructions
16
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.
Warnings and safety instructions
17
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.

Energy saving tips
21
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
Delay start function will be useful as
you can select when during the next
24hours you want drying to start
automatically.
1. Notes on correct laundry care
22
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
23
Drying
Useful tip: See the “Programme chart”.
It lists all programmes and their
maximum load.
- 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. Do not overdry
these fabrics to prevent further
shrinking. When buying loopknit
garments, it is advisable to take their
shrinkage potential into account.
- With fabrics that are particularly heat-
sensitive or susceptible to creasing,
reduce the drying load and select
Gentle tumble.

2. Loading the tumble dryer
24
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

Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Warm air/DryFresh
programme.
Select a more suitable programme next time.
Useful tip: You can alter the drying levels for some
programmes. See “Programmable functions”,
sections “ Cottons drying levels”, “ Minimum
iron 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”.

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.
Problem solving guide
53
Cracks, tears, indentations
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
54
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.

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
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.
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*
59
Risk of fire and explosion due to
damage to the tumble dryer.
The refrigerant is flammable and
explosive.
Do not make any alterations to the
tumble dryer. Take measures to
protect the tumble dryer against
damage.
If the tumble dryer is damaged, proceed
as follows:
- Avoid naked flames or anything
which creates a spark.
- Disconnect the dryer from the
electricity supply.
- Air the room where the tumble dryer
is located.
- Contact Miele Customer Service.
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*
60
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).
The heat pump that is essential to
the operation of this tumble dryer
generates a lot of heat inside its
casing. It must be possible to
dissipate this heat well.
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
ventilation gap between the bottom
of the tumble dryer and the floor are
mandatory requirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
A small quantity of condensed water
that remains in the area around the
pump after the drying process can run
out if the tumble dryer is tilted.
Recommendation: start a programme
for approx. 1minute before transporting
the dryer. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the
condensed water container (which you
will need to empty again) or out through
the drain hose.

power consumption and the connection
data. Compare this information with the
data of the on-site electrical
connection.
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
