Disposal of packaging material
The packaging material protects the
dryer from transport damage. The pack-
aging materials used are selected from
materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and should be re-
cycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also the amount of
waste. You can return the packaging to
your Miele dealer.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain 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

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”.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ig-
nite or explode.
- items treated with flammable cleaning agents or items containing
acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain remover, wax or chemicals from
buffing, 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
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
qualified personnel.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by pro-
viding 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 out-
let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all lo-
cal 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
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 ser-
vice call.
You must always use the dryer basket (optional accessory) when
drying/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.
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. Her-
metically sealed.
Designation of refrigerant: R134a
Amount of refrigerant: 16.6 oz (0.47) kg

Energy-saving tips
18
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following mea-
sures as the drying time is not ex-
tended unnecessarily.
- Make sure your laundry is spun at the
maximum spin speed in the washing
machine before drying.
The higher the spin speed, the
greater the savings that can be made
in energy and time during drying, e.g.,
approx. 20% energy can be saved if
spun at 1,600rpm instead of
1,000rpm.
- Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the drying program being used. This
will mean that the energy consump-
tion for the amount of laundry is at its
most economical.
- Make sure that the room temperature
is not too high. If there are other heat-
producing appliances in the room in
which the dryer is located, make sure
the room is well ventilated and switch
the other appliances off, if possible.
- Clean the lint filters in the door open-
ing after every drying cycle.
Viewing the estimated energy
consumption
You can view information about the
energy consumption of your tumble
dryer with the sensor button.
After selecting a drying program,
touch the sensor button.
The estimated energy-consumption lev-
els will be displayed as a bar chart.
OK
The more bars visible(), the higher the
energy consumption.
The estimate will vary depending on the
drying program and any extra options
selected.
Touch the OK sensor button or wait
until the display automatically returns
to the standard display.
Functioning of the heat-pump dryer
19
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 direc-
tion 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 sev-
eral 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 ex-
changer, 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.
Initial set-up
20
Downtime after installation
Damage caused by switching the
appliance on too soon.

1. Notes on correct laundry care
24
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
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.
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 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 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.
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 SoftSteam program 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 Soft-
Steam 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.

SmartStart
The SmartStart function lets you de-
fine a time period during which your
dryer will start automatically. The start
takes place via a signal, e.g., from
your energy supplier, that indicates
that the electricity rate is particularly
economical. Please check with your
local utility provider for availability.
This function is active when the Smart-
Grid setting is switched on.
The time period can be defined be-
tween 15minutes and 24 hours. During
this period, the dryer waits for the sig-
nal from the energy supplier. If no signal
is sent during the defined period, the
dryer starts the drying program.

not be combined.
Anti-crease
Gentle
Buzzer
Freshen up
Gentle
Delicate fabrics (with the symbol on
the care label, e.g., acrylic garments)
are dried at a lower temperature and the
program duration is longer.
Freshen up
You can use the Freshen up option to
help remove or reduce odors in clean
(dry or damp) clothing.
The drying air is heated up for a specific
length of time. After this, the garments
are aired to the Normal drying level
without any more heat being added.
The drying level cannot be altered.
The option will be more effective if you
dampen the garments a little before-
hand, use a fragrance flacon, and re-
duce the load. Please note that odors
will not be removed as effectively from
parts of garments made of synthetic
fibers.
Anti-crease
After the program has finished, the
drum will continue to rotate in a certain
rhythm. This “Anti-crease rhythm” helps
to prevent creasing if the laundry is not
removed immediately after the end of a
program.

The condensed water can be used for
the Soft Steam program. The con-
densed water container must be filled
to use this program (see the following
section).
Condensed water container
45
Preparing the condensed wa-
ter container for the Steam
Care program
During the Steam Care program, the
condensed water collected in the con-
densed water container is sprayed into
the drum via a spray jet. The con-
densed water container must therefore
be filled with water to at least the
–min– marker. Otherwise, this could
cause a fault.
The –min– marker is at the front left-
hand side of the container.
Make use of the condensed water
which collects during the drying
process.
Filling the empty condensed water
container
You can fill the condensed water con-
tainer with commercially available
condensed water (ironing water).
You should only use tap water in excep-
tional circumstances. If tap water is
used frequently, however, the spray jet
(in the door opening) can become calci-
fied.
1 spout, 2 rubber seal
Pour the water in through the rings of
the spout 1.
The spray jet in the door opening can
suffer a blockage.
It should only be filled with clean wa-
ter. The water must not contain any
fragrance, detergent, or other sub-
stances.
Checking the rubber seal from time
to time
If tap water is used frequently, white
limescale deposits can build up on the
rubber seal 2.
Use a damp cloth to carefully remove
any limescale deposits from the rub-
ber seal 2.
Fragrance flacon
46
FragranceDos
Fragrance flacons (optional acces-
sories) can be used to give your laun-
dry a pleasant scent.
This tumble dryer has 2sockets for in-
serting fragrance flacons. This gives
you a choice of how to use them.
- You can use both sockets if you wish
to change from one fragrance to an-
other. You can close the fragrance fla-
con that you are not using.
- Use both sockets if you want a more
intense scent of the same fragrance.
Or if you wish to conveniently switch
between a fragrance for normal laun-
dry and DryFresh to freshen up your
laundry.
- To use just one fragrance, use one
socket only.
Risk of fire and harm to health if
fragrance flacons are used incor-
rectly.
Leaked fragrance can be harmful to
your health if it comes into contact
with your body. Leaked fragrance
can cause fire.
Before using a fragrance flacon,
please read “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”, “Using the fra-
grance flacon (optional accessory)”.
Removing the protective seal
from the fragrance flacon
Only hold the fragrance flacon as il-
lustrated. Do not hold it at an angle
or tip it as the fragrance will leak out
of the flacon.
Hold the flacon securely so that you
do not open it by mistake.
Pull off the protective seal.
Fragrance flacon
47
Inserting a fragrance flacon
Open the door of the tumble dryer.
The fragrance flacon is inserted in the
upper lint filter. There is one socket on
the left-hand side of the recessed grip
and another on the right-hand side.
To open the cover, push the tab all
the way up to the top.
If you are not using a socket, keep its
cover closed to prevent the accumu-
lation of lint.
Push the tab of the cover all the way
down (see arrow), until you hear it
click into position.
Insert the fragrance flacon as far it will
go into the socket.
The markers and must line up
with one another.
Fragrance flacon
48
Turn the outer ring clockwise a lit-
tle.
The fragrance flacon may slip out.
Turn the outer ring so that the mark-
ers and line up.
Setting the fragrance intensity
Before drying, you can select the inten-
sity of the fragrance.
Turn the outer ring clockwise: the fur-
ther you open the fragrance flacon,
the more intense the fragrance.
Damp laundry and longer drying dura-
tions with sufficient heat transfer are
needed for the fragrance to be released
into the laundry effectively.
The fragrance will also be noticeable in
the room air during the process. The
Cold Air program will not generally ap-
ply fragrance.
Closing the fragrance flacon
After drying, the fragrance flacon should
be closed to prevent the fragrance from
escaping needlessly.
Turn the outer ring counterclockwise
until markerb is in position_.
Replace the fragrance flacon with a
new one when the intensity of the fra-
grance is no longer sufficient.
Fragrance flacon
49
Removing/replacing the fra-
grance flacon
Turn the outer ring counterclockwise
until the markersa andb line up.
Replace the fragrance flacon with a
new one.
When not in use, you can store the fra-
grance flacon in its original packaging.
Fragrance flacons are available to or-
der from Miele dealers, Miele Cus-
tomer Service, or online.
Fragrance can leak out of the flacon.
Do not lay the fragrance flacon
down.
- If you are keeping the fragrance fla-
con in its original packaging, do not
store the packaging upright on its
edge or upside down. Otherwise, the
fragrance will leak out.
- Always store in a cool, dry place
away from direct sunlight.
- When purchasing new fragrance fla-
cons, only remove the protective seal
just before use.
Cleaning and care
50
Lint filters
This tumble dryer has 2 lint filters in
the door opening: the upper and lower
lint filters trap lint produced during the
drying process.
Clean the lint filters after each drying
program. This prevents an extension
of the program duration.
Also clean the lint filters when this
message appears in the display: Clean
the lint and plinth filters. See the Operating

The laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry.
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
Finish drying using the Time Dry timed drying pro-
gram.
Select a more suitable program next time.
Tip: You can alter the residual moisture level for some

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 opera-
tion.
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).
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
76
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.
Additional installation require-
ments
All installations must be carried
out in accordance with local regula-
tions.
Slot-in
This tumble dryer is suitable for pushing
under a countertop.
It is very important to avoid a
build-up of heat. The warm air which

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 in-
adequate grounding system. The
electrical socket must be easily ac-
cessible so that the dryer can be dis-
connected from the electricity sup-
ply.
WARNING – If the grounding con-
ductor is connected incorrectly, this
can result in electric shock. Contact
a qualified electrician if you are un-
sure whether the appliance is prop-
erly 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
connected 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.

socket
If a NEMA 14-30 socket is pro-
vided on-site for the dryer, the Miele
connection adapter* can be used.
Observe the following description to
avoid damage to the dryer.
Tip: * You can order the connection
adapter directly from Miele (USA or
CDN).
- The connection adapter has a NEMA
14-30 plug and two NEMA 5-15
socket-side connectors. The dryer
and washing machine can therefore
be connected to the 120V/60Hz
electricity supply.
- The connection adapter is equipped
with two 15A fuses which protect
both the connected appliances and
the connection adapter.

External draining of condensed
water
Note
When drying is in progress, con-
densed water is pumped into the con-
densed water container through the
drain hose which is located at the
back of the dryer.
The condensed water can also be ex-
ternally drained away via the drain hose
on the back of the dryer. This means
that the condensed water container no
longer has to be emptied.
Drain hose length: 5.2ft (1.6m)
Maximum delivery head: 3.3ft (1m)
Maximum drain hose length: 13ft
(4m)
Arranging the drain hose
Damage to the drain hose
through incorrect handling.
The drain hose can suffer damage
and leak.
Do not pull on the drain hose and do
not stretch it or allow it to become
kinked.
There will be a small amount of residual
water left in the drain hose. Have a con-
tainer ready to collect this.
Pull the drain hose off its connection
(light arrow).
Pull the hose out of the holders (dark
arrow) and unwind it.
Allow any residual water to run into a
container.
Condensate drain
The drain hose on the back of the dryer
can be inserted into the stand pipe.
Attach the end of the hose to the
stand pipe.
Secure the drain hose carefully
(e.g., by tying it) to make sure it can-
not slip.
Overflowing water can cause dam-
age.
