Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. The plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind it to prevent misuse.
See the "Warning and Safety" section of
this booklet for further details.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
–Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used (see
Programme chart).
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
–Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
–Make sure the fluff filters are clean
before using the dryer.
–Check the condenser unit from time
to time and clean it when necessary.

place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner of the
machine.
Correct use
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, marked on
the manufacturer's care label as being
suitable for tumble drying.
"Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up
garments in a tumble dryer are
increasingly available on the market. If
using, do so at your own risk, and
follow the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from
improper use or operation.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions
5

The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which the manufacturer cannot accept
liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved
technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
machine until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
machine 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 machine guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

In the event of a fault or for
cleaning purposes, the machine 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, or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Operation
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
The dryer must not be used without
the fluff filters in place or if the fluff
filters are damaged in any way.
The dryer must not be used without
condenser unit in place.
The machine must not be used
without the hygiene filter in place.
The fluff filters must be thoroughly
dried after cleaning. If they are
damp or wet when replaced there is a
risk of faults occurring when the
machine is used.
Do not install the machine in a
room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. Do not install the machine in
a room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the machine may not be
able to operate properly.
There is a risk of damage if the
condensed water is allowed to freeze in
the pump, hoses and / or condensed
water container.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C.
If the water is drained externally
through the drain hose instead of
being collected in the condensed water
container, make sure the drain hose is
securely attached if you hang it in a
sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping
and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking
water. It can cause health
problems in both people and animals.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff.
Over time dust drawn into the machine
with the room air which is used to cool
the condenser unit could block the
hygiene filter and condenser unit.
Where excessive dust has collected it
may be necessary to replace the
hygiene filter more frequently than
waiting until the indicator lights up.

Programmes
–Standard drying programmes for
Cotton and Minimum iron fabrics
–
Allerdry programme for drying
garments where high standards of
hygiene are required, suitable for
allergy sufferers for example.
–Special Smoothing and Woollens
hand care programmes
–Timed drying programmes
Display
The display shows:
– the programme duration (time
remaining);
– the delay start time;
– programmable functions.
Estimated time remaining
When a programme is selected the
estimated drying time will appear in the
display. Please be aware that it is only
an estimate!
The following factors all affect the
estimated time remaining: Residual
moisture content after spinning; type of
fabric; size of load; room temperature;
fluctuations in power supply.
The electronics continually assess
conditions in the machine and adjust
the estimated time remaining for a more
accurate reading. Because of this the
time displayed can alter during the
course of a programme.
In the same way, the
Woollens hand
care
and Smoothing programmes can
finish earlier than expected if a certain
temperature is reached. This can
happen with particularly fine fabrics or
if items were partly dry beforehand.
PC / Optical interface
The indicator light marked PC can used
by Miele Service technicians as an
optical interface to update your
machine in future years.
Programmable functions
–For changing the standard settings.
Drum lighting
If the dryer is switched on, the drum
lighting will come on when the door is
opened. It will go out after a short while
if the door is left open to save energy.
Guide to the machine
10

Drying air
The drying air in the drum circulates in
a closed system and is condensed in
the condenser unit. The condensed
water is then collected or can be
pumped away.
Fluff builds up on garments when they
are being worn and washed. This fluff is
collected by the fluff filters in the door
and the door opening.
Hygiene filter for room air used for
cooling the condenser unit
The hygiene filter filters the air from the
room which the dryer takes in to cool
the condenser unit. The filtered room
air which has been warmed by the
condenser unit is then expelled from
the back of the dryer.
The hygiene filter must be replaced
with a new one when the
Change filter
indicator light comes on.
The machine must not be used
without the hygiene filter in place.
Without the hygiene filter in place, the
dryer will take in more room air which
will in turn cool the condenser unit more
and cause a lower drying temperature.
A reduction in the drying temperature
will mean that micro-organisms are not
deactivated. The noise level during
drying will also increase.
Please note that the programme
durations will be longer if the hygiene
filter is not replaced when the indicator
light comes on.

Care symbols
Before drying check the drying symbol
on the care label. If there are no
symbols, dry at your own risk!
q. . . . . . . . . Dry at normal temperature
r. . . . . . . . . . Dry at a low temperature
s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Do not tumble dry
Tips on drying
–Always observe the maximum
recommended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Never overload
the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin them thoroughly
after washing using the appropriate
spin speed.
–For delicates and fabrics with the
following care label rselect
Low
temperature
or use the allerdry -
Minimum iron
programme.
–Open jackets so that they can dry
evenly.
–Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. They can, however,
be partially dried using the
Woollens
hand care
programme.
–Down-filled garments have linings
which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
–Pure linen should only be machine
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the care label, as
the surface of the fabric may
otherwise become rough. They can
be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.
–Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry these
textiles. When purchasing these
garments it is advisable to take their
shrinkage properties into account.
– Minimum iron fabrics and 100%
cotton shirts or blouses tend to
crease more, the greater the load.
This is especially true of very fine
weaves.
Reduce the load or use the
Minimum
iron - Hand iron
programme.
–Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
–New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately
from light coloured garments to avoid
the danger of colours running and
discolouring other garments or even
plastic components in the machine.
Dark coloured fibres can also settle
on light coloured garments and vice
versa.

Brief instructions
The headings numbered (A,B,C...)
show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide to using your
machine.
ASort the laundry
To ensure an even drying result
separate out the washed laundry and
sort it according to: . .
. . . the drying level required
. . . the type of fibre or weave
. . size
. . the moisture content after spinning.
,Make sure that objects e.g.
detergent dispensing balls have
been removed from the laundry.
They could melt, and cause damage
to the dryer or the laundry.
– Check seams and stitching to ensure
that padding and linings are intact.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow
cases to prevent small items from
being trapped inside them.
–Fasten hooks and eyes etc.
–Tie fabric belts and apron strings.
–Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
