Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of children. Danger of suffo-
cation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances con-
tain valuable materials. They also con-
tain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the fol-
lowing:
WARNING
This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
It is essential to read all instructions before using the appliance.
Risk of Suffocation and Injury from Entrapment:
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.
Before this appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating in-
structions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a
considerable risk to the user.
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended
by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important information regarding use of fabric softener sheets:
We do not recommend use of fabric softener sheets. Use of fabric
softener sheets can clog the surfaces of the lint filters, extending the
drying time and increasing energy consumption. During subsequent
cleaning, the plastic and surfaces of the lint filters can be damaged!
The best results are obtained by using liquid fabric softener in the
washing machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you still wish to use fabric softener sheets, be sure to follow the
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning and care” in the “Cleaning in-
structions when using fabric softener sheets” section.
Tip:
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory) will add a pleasant fra-
grance to your laundry.
When a fragrance flacon is used, the fragrance is acquired by the en-
tire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is that
under certain circumstances the fragrance is acquired by only a few
items of laundry, especially when drying a full load.
When you use a fragrance flacon, always follow the warnings
in this section as well as those under “Fragrance flacon”.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction
that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs
without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer be-
fore the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this dryer:
- items which have not been washed.
- items, such as work-wear, exposed to grease, oils, or other de-
posits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these items
have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the laundry to
ignite when heated even after being removed from the dryer.
- items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or spot-
ted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or ex-
plosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
- items treated with flammable cleaning agents or items containing
acetone, alcohol, gas, stain remover, wax or chemicals from buff-
ing, etc.
- items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish re-
mover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient deter-
gent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the item
several times.
- items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like ma-
terials.
- items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have
been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected,
including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items be-
ing removed are not too hot to handle.
Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
Keep the area around the air intake (toe kick) and adjacent sur-
rounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by quali-
fied personnel.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by provid-
ing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with
the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is pos-
sible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system
complies with national and local codes.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Before installation, disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical
supply by shutting off the power main, unplugging the power cord or
tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power until the installation
is complete.
Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. A Miele washer-dryer connection kit is re-
quired as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the
washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer
and the Miele washing machine.
If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory), make sure it is the correct one.
The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6 lbs (8.0kg).
See the “Program chart” for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programs.
Do not place shoes inside the drum for drying. Placing shoes in-
side the drum for drying can cause the belt to tear, requiring a service
call.
You must always use the dryer basket (optional accessory) when dry-
ing/airing shoes. Follow the additional operating instructions for the
dryer basket.
This tumble dryer is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for
room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele au-
thorized person or by Miele Service.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Heat-pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which
is condensed by the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to
a higher temperature level and liquified by condensing, is led in a
closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange
with the circulating drying air takes place.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. This does not impair the efficient functioning
of the dryer.
- The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
- This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Hermeti-
cally sealed.

you always keep the flacon, or the lint filter with the flacon inserted in
it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place it
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 components
(e.g. the lint filter) immediately.
If fragrance comes in contact with the body: Wash skin thoroughly
with soap and water. Flush eyes with clean water for at least 15min-
utes. If swallowed, rinse mouth thoroughly with clean water. Seek
medical attention if the fragrance comes in contact with the eyes or
is swallowed!
Immediately change clothes that have come in contact with the
fragrance. Thoroughly wash clothing or fabric using a large amount 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 or any other substance.
- 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

15
Operating the tumble dryer
Wash2Dry
Once the program has come to a
proper end, the Miele washing ma-
chine transfers the program 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 program tailored to the laundry
based on the transferred program data.
All you need to do is start the drying
program once you have loaded the tum-
ble dryer. No additional program set-
tings are required on the tumble dryer.
Tip: The drying program must be started
within 24hours of the end of the wash
program. The data will be kept available
for the tumble dryer during this period,
but will be overwritten when a new
wash program ends.
Tip: Do not disconnect the tumble dryer
from the network. The program 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.
In order to use the Wash2Dry func-
tion, the Miele washing machine and
tumble dryer must be networked using
Miele@home services.
Tip: Set up Miele@home as described
in these operating instructions.
16
Functioning of the heat-pump dryer
Two separate circuits ensure that the
laundry is dried:
Dry air circuit
The drying air flows through a heat ex-
changer, the drum, and several filters.
This is ensured by a blower in the
dryer.
- The drying air flows through the heat
exchanger in the longitudinal direction
and is heated in the rear area.
- The drying air is then blown into the
drum, where it absorbs the moisture
of the laundry.
- The damp drying air is blown back
through the heat exchanger via several
filters in the fill area and the plinth
area of the dryer.
- The drying air cools down in the front,
cool area of the heat exchanger, and
loses its moisture.
- The circuit begins again.
Refrigerant circuit
The refrigerant circuit regulates the
heating and cooling of the drying air
through the heat exchanger. The heat
pump is the central component: This is
a compressor that is connected to a
pipeline system which is filled with re-
frigerant.
- The pipeline system surrounds the
heat exchanger in several bends.
- The compressor draws in the gaseous
refrigerant and compresses it, causing
the temperature to rise.
- The hot refrigerant is passed through
the pipeline system to the rear of the
heat exchanger. The heat is released
into the drying air, which flows
through the heat exchanger.
- The refrigerant liquifies by dissipating
the heat.
- The liquid refrigerant then flows
through a capillary tube (a very thin
tube) to the front area of the heat ex-
changer. This changes the pressure of
the refrigerant.
- The refrigerant cools and reverts to its
gaseous state. This in turn cools the
front area of the heat exchanger and
dehumidifies the drying air.
- The circuit begins again.
17
Initial set-up
Downtime after installation
Damage caused by switching the
appliance on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer,
wait for at least one hour before
starting a drying program.
Removing the protective film
and stickers
Remove:
- any protective film from the door
- any stickers from the front and from
the lid
Please do not remove any labels (e.g.,
the data plate) which are visible
when you open the door.
Networking
Your tumble dryer is equipped with an
integrated Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi
module makes it possible to connect to
your home network and to use the
Mieleapp on a mobile device.
Once your tumble dryer has been con-
nected via Wi-Fi, the connection is au-
tomatically re-established every time it
is switched on.
Make sure that your Wi-Fi network sig-
nal is strong enough in the place where
you intend to install your tumble dryer.
Connecting your tumble dryer to your
Wi-Fi network will increase energy
consumption, even when the tumble
dryer is switched off.

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 tempera-
ture. If in doubt, wash the items sev-
eral times.
- Do not load the drum with items that
are still soaking wet. 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.
- New dark colored garments should be
washed and dried separately from
light colored garments. There is the
risk of colors running and discoloring
other garments or even plastic com-
ponents in the dryer. Dark colored
fibers can also settle on light colored
garments and vice versa.
- Starched laundry can be tumble dried.
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 ex-
plode.
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.
Read and observe “IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
- Sort the laundry according to the type
of fiber and weave, size, garment care
label symbol, and the drying level re-
quired.
- 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
zippers 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 dress shirts
or blouses.
20
1. Notes on correct laundry care
Drying
Tip: See the “Program chart”.
This describes the programs and gives
their maximum load.
- Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load for each program. This
will mean that the energy consump-
tion 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 Woolens Handcare pro-
gram for these items.
- You should only tumble dry pure linen
if it is specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as the
surface of the fabric may otherwise
become rough. Only use the Woolens
Handcare program for these items.
- Woolens and wool blends tend to be-
come matted and shrink if tumble
dried. Only use the Woolens Hand-
care program for these items.
- Jersey fabrics (e.g., T-shirts, under-
wear) tend to shrink when they are
washed for the first time. Therefore,
do not over-dry the fabrics to prevent
them from shrinking further. Buy jer-
sey fabrics that are one or two sizes
bigger.
- Select the Gentle extra option for fab-
ric which is particularly heat-sensitive
or susceptible to creasing.

2. Loading the tumble dryer
Loading the laundry
Textiles may be damaged.
Before loading, read “1. Notes on cor-
rect laundry care”.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Overloading
can cause unnecessary wear and tear
to the laundry, give a disappointing
drying result, and cause more creasing.
This can result in damage to the laun-
dry.
When closing the door, make sure
that laundry does not get trapped in
the door opening.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning instructions when using fab-
ric softener sheets
If you are using fabric softener sheets,
please follow these warnings and in-
structions.
First, clean the filters as de-
scribed in “Cleaning the lint filters
with water”.
If the surfaces of the lint filters are
still strongly compacted with lint,
then follow these measures.
Please note the plastic and surfaces
of the lint filters can be damaged by
the cleaning process described be-
low.
If the surfaces of the lint filters
are not cleaned, this can extend the
drying time and increase the energy
consumption.
Try the following 3 cleaning instructions
to determine the one that achieves the
best results.
Option 1
Wipe the surfaces of the lint filters
several times with a cleaning cloth
with an alcohol base until you have re-
moved any debris//obstructions.
Risk of fire!
Then rinse the filter surfaces thor-
oughly with warm water to remove all
residues.
Option 2
Clean the lint filters in the dishwasher
without any other dishes. Use a high-
temperature program.
Option 3
Wet the surfaces of the lint filters
with a liquid color detergent (e.g.,
Miele Ultra Color Liquid Laundry De-
tergent).
Leave it on for approx. 2 hours.
Risk of fire!
Then rinse the filter surfaces thor-
oughly with warm water to remove all
residues.
41
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the plinth filter
Cleaning interval: Clean the plinth filter
whenever the indicator light comes
on or when the program runtime
seems to be taking longer than usual.
The program runtime is extended if
you do not clean the filter.
The program is aborted and a fault
occurs.
To make the indicator light go out,
open and close the door while the
tumble dryer is switched on.
Removing the plinth filter
Press the round, indented area on the
heat exchanger access panel to open
it.
The access panel will spring open.
Pull the plinth filter out by the handle.
The right-hand guide pin comes out
when the plinth filter is removed. The
guide pin prevents the access panel
from closing without the plinth filter.
42
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the plinth filter
Pull the handle out of the plinth filter.
Clean the plinth filter carefully and
thoroughly under running water.
Tip: To speed up the removal of residue
from the surface, run a water jet verti-
cally over the front of the plinth filter.
Squeeze the plinth filter very carefully
several times as you rinse it.
Rinse and wash the entire plinth filter
until all visible residues have been re-
moved.
Continue to carefully squeeze the
plinth filter until all of the water has
been removed.
Tip: To absorb water, place the damp
plinth filter between 2 towels. On an
even surface, gently press down on the
plinth filter with the palm of your hand.
This will help the plinth filter to dry
faster.
The plinth filter must not be installed
dripping wet.
Otherwise, this could cause a fault.
Carefully squeeze the water out of
the plinth filter.
If a drying program is interrupted with
a fault message after the clean plinth
filter has been installed, the plinth filter
was too wet when it was installed.
Carefully 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
the plinth filter in the washing ma-
chine. See “Frequently Asked Ques-
tions – Reactivating the plinth filter”.
Blockages caused by a damaged
or worn plinth filter.
The heat exchanger becomes
blocked and damage may occur.
Check the plinth filter. Replace the
plinth filter if necessary.
43
Cleaning and care
Use a damp all-purpose cloth to re-
move any lint from the handle.
Install the plinth filter back on the
handle. Make sure it is the correct
way round.
Push the plinth filter in completely.
This will push in the right-hand guide pin
at the same time.
44
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the plinth-filter access panel
Use a damp cloth to remove any lint.
Make sure that you do not damage
the rubber seal when doing this.
Close the heat-exchanger access
panel.
Damage or ineffective drying if
drying takes place without a plinth fil-
ter or when the heat-exchanger ac-
cess panel is open.
An excessive accumulation of lint can
damage the tumble dryer. If the sys-
tem is not leak-tight, this can make
the drying ineffective.
Only operate the tumble dryer with
the plinth filter installed and the heat-
exchanger access panel closed.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
Disconnect the tumble dryer from
the power supply.
Damage due to the use of unsuit-
able care products.
Unsuitable care products could dam-
age plastic surfaces and other parts.
Do not use any solvents, abrasive
cleaning agents, glass cleaners, or
all-purpose cleaners.
Cleaning recommendation: Clean once
or twice a year and as required.
Clean the tumble dryer and the seal
on the inside of the door with a
slightly damp soft cloth, a mild solu-
tion of liquid dish soap, and water.
Dry all the parts with a soft all-pur-
pose cloth.

Unsatisfactory drying results
Problem Possible cause and solution
The laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Time Dry/DryFresh program.
Select a more suitable program next time.
Useful tip: you can alter the drying levels for some
programs. See “Programmable functions“, sections
“Normal drying levels“ and “Wrinkle-free dry-
ing levels”.
The laundry or feather-
filled pillows develop a
smell after drying.
The laundry was washed with insufficient detergent.
Feathers have the property of developing a significant
odor when they are warm.
Laundry: use sufficient detergent.
Pillows: take out of the tumble dryer and air them.
Use a fragrance flacon (available as an optional ac-
cessory) for your favorite fragrance.
Items made of synthetic
fibers are charged with
static electricity after
drying.
Synthetic fibers tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric
softener to the final rinse in the washing program.
There is a build-up of
lint.
Lint 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 lint to
form.
Lint is collected by the lint filters and the plinth filter
and can be removed easily.
See “Cleaning and care”.

Frequently asked questions
Replacing the plinth filter
The heat exchanger can clog up.
Replace the plinth filter immediately
if you see the following signs of wear
before or after cleaning (optional ac-
cessory).
Poor fit
The edges of the plinth filter do not sit
properly and the plinth filter is de-
formed. Lint will blow into the heat ex-
changer unfiltered through edges that
do not sit properly. This will cause a per-
manent obstruction in the heat ex-
changer.
Deformation
Deformations indicate that the plinth fil-
ter has become worn.
51
Frequently asked questions
Cracks, tears, indentations
Lint will blow into the heat exchanger
through cracks and tears. This will cause
a permanent obstruction in the heat ex-
changer.
White residues or residues of other col-
ors
Residues arise from laundry fibers 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:
Lint 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.
52
Frequently asked questions
Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more dirty
plinth filters in the 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 “Frequently Asked Ques-
tions – Replacing the plinth filter”. Re-
place 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 program with a
maximum temperature of 104°F
(40°C) and a maximum spin speed of
600rpm.
You can re-insert the plinth filter once
the wash and spin cycle is complete.
Checking the heat exchanger

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 trans-
ported on its side, it must be tipped
onto its left or right side.
If the tumble dryer is being trans-
ported 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 in-
stallation site
The fixings at the back of the lid
may become brittle due to external
circumstances.
There is a danger of the lid being
pulled off when carrying the appli-
ance.
Before carrying the appliance check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the appliance.

Installation
Leveling the tumble dryer
Ensure that no closeable door,
sliding door, or an oppositely hinged
door is installed that would hinder
the door of the dryer being opened in
any way.
The appliance must stand perfectly level
to ensure safe and proper operation.
The screw feet can be adjusted to com-
pensate for unevenness in the floor.
Downtime after installation
Damage caused by switching the
appliance on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer,
wait for at least one hour before
starting a drying program.
Ventilation
The cool air intake at the front of the
dryer must not be blocked or cov-
ered. This would hinder a sufficient
intake of cool air for the heat ex-
changer.
Do not block the gap between the
bottom of the tumble dryer and the
floor with toe kicks, deep pile carpet,
etc. This would otherwise hinder a
sufficient 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).
Before moving the tumble dryer again
A small quantity of condensed water
that remains in the area around the
pump after the drying process can run
out if the dryer is tilted. Recommenda-
tion: Start the Time Dry program for ap-
prox. 1minute before transporting the
dryer. Any remaining condensed water
will then be fed into the condensed wa-
ter container (which you will need to
empty again) or out through the drain
hose.

Electrical connection
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The electrical safety of this dryer can
only be guaranteed when continuity
is complete between it and an effec-
tive grounding system. It is essential
that this standard safety requirement
is observed and regularly tested. If in
any doubt, please have the electrical
installation inspected by a qualified
electrician. Miele cannot be held li-
able for the consequences of an inad-
equate grounding system. The elec-
trical socket must be easily accessi-
ble so that the dryer can be discon-
nected from the electricity supply.
WARNING – If the grounding con-
ductor is connected incorrectly, this
can result in electric shock. Contact a
qualified electrician if you are unsure
whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not change the plug: If it does not
fit into the socket, you should have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
The dryer is equipped with a power cord
6'7" (2m) with plug. The dryer is con-
nected to a NEMA 5-15 socket with an
electrical connection of 120V, 60Hz,
15A.
The manufacturer recommends operat-
ing the appliance on a dedicated circuit
to avoid overloading the electrical cir-
cuit.

plate slightly with your flat hand.
The outer plate should engage in the
door after a short turn.
Inserting the screws and installing the
door seal
Use the Torx screwdriver to screw in
the eight screws.
The outer plate must be engaged in
the door correctly.
If it is not, it will not be possible to
screw the outer plate and the door
together, because the screw holes
will not line up with the screw
domes.
If the fit is not right, revisit and check
the “Installing the outer plate on the
door” step.
Push the door seal into the groove all
the way round.
