Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Read all instructions before
installation or use of the dryer to
prevent injury and machine damage.
Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be performed by a
Miele authorized service technician.
Work by unqualified persons could
be dangerous
This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use
of the appliance can lead to
personal injury and material
damage.
READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock or injury:
~The dryer is intended for drying
clothes washed in water. Only dry
clothes with a fabric care label stating it
is safe for tumble drying.
Other uses may be dangerous.
Technical Safety
~Check the packaging, the dryer and
accessories for any signs of damage.
Do not use a damaged appliance.
~Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on the
data plate (fusing, voltage and
frequency) matches the mains
electrical supply. If in doubt contact an
electrician.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity exists between the
machine and an effective grounding
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified technician.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electrical supply by an extension
cord. Extension cords do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Incorrectly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the user.
Repairs should only be performed by a
Miele approved technician.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced with genuine Miele spare
parts. Only genuine Miele spare parts
can guarantee the safe operation of this
machine.
~A faulty power cord must be
replaced by a genuine Miele power
cord.
~Before maintenance or cleaning and
care disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply pulling the plug or
tripping the circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use
~Do not install a clothes dryer with
flexible plastic venting materials. If
flexible metal (foil type) duct is
installed, it must be of a specific type
identified by the manufacturer as
suitable for use with clothes dryers.
Flexible venting materials are known to
collapse, be easily crushed, and trap
lint. These conditions will obstruct
clothes dryer airflow and increase the
risk of fire.
~Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for
venting. Non-metallic flexible hose
should not be used, it is a potential fire
hazard.
~The appliance shall not be
exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a
ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a
concealed space of a building.
~The installation of this unit at non
stationary locations (e.g. ships) must be
performed by a qualified installer or
service agency, in strict accordance
with national and local safety
regulations and standards.
~The dryer must not be used without
an exhaust duct.
~The dryer must not used without the
lint filter in place or with a damaged lint
filter.
~Check regularly on the exhaust
parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvered wall
vent, bends etc.) for air permeability.
Lint can collect and block the air flow.
If an exhaust hose is already installed, it
should be checked before connected
to the dryer.
~Danger of suffocation or
toxication Adequate ventilation is
essential, especially when another
appliance which also uses the room air
(e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater,
continuous flow or other water heater) is
installed in the same or an adjacent
room. Allow sufficient room ventilation
by unlockable ventilation openings in
the wall.
Check with your building inspector for a
riskless use to avoid a low pressure of
4 Pa or more.
~Never connect an exhaust duct to
an active chimney, vent flue or room
venting ductwork. Danger of toxication
by draw back of exhaust fumes.
~When installing multiple dryers to
one collective exhaust duct, a
non-return flap per dryer must be
installed directly to the collective duct.
Otherwise the dryers could be
damaged and the electrical safety
affected.
~Keep the area where the dryer is
installed free from lint, dust and dirt.
~Do not install the machine in rooms
where temperatures below freezing
may occur.
,WARNING - Risk of Fire
~To reduce the risk of severe injury or
death, follow all installation instructions.
~Clothes dryer installation must be
performed by a qualified installer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Install the clothes dryer according to
the manufacturer's instructions and
local codes.
~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 deposits
(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 ignite 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 remover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items
ensure that sufficient detergent is
used with a high temperature. If in
doubt wash the item several times.
–items containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
–items with padding or filling (e.g.
pillows or jackets) which have been
damaged. Loose filling could catch
fire.
~Do not lean on the door. The dryer
may tip over.
~Always close the door after use. to
prevent hazards. For example:
–children trying to climb into the dryer
or hide items in it.
–small pets climbing into the dryer.
~To protect the machine from rust
only use chloride-free cleaning and
disinfecting agents. Chloride may
cause corrosion.
Do not store chloride agents in close
proximity to the dryer. Fumes could
lead to rust damage.
Children
~Close supervision is necessary
when the appliance is used near
children. Do not allow children to play
on or in the appliance.
Using accessories
~Only use genuine Miele accessories
and replacement parts. If other parts
are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may become
void.

Fabric care labels
Before drying, check fabric care labels
for special drying instructions.
q= Drying with normal temperature
r= Drying with low temperature
s= Do not dry in a tumble dryer
Drying tips
–Observe the maximum loads, see the
"Programs guide".
Overloading the dryer will result in
poor drying and wrinkling.
– Do not place dripping wet items in
the dryer! Spin the laundry after the
wash for at least 30 seconds.
– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric
care symbol rwith the "Low
temperature" option.
–Open jackets to allow even drying.
–Starched laundry can be dried in
the tumble dryer. The amount of
starch must be doubled during the
wash.
–Wash new, colored items before
drying for the first time and do not
dry with light-colored items. These
fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic
parts of the dryer). Colored fluff may
also get on the light colored items.
–Wool and wool blends tend to felt
and shrink. Dry wool and wool
blends in the "Woollen handcare"
program.
–The fine fabric of down filled items
tend to shrink. Dry these items in the
"Smoothing" program.
–Dry pure linen items only if it is
recommended on the fabric care
label. The surface of the fabric may
become "rough". Dry these items in
the "Smoothing" program.
–Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink when
washed and dried for the first time.
Do not overdry these fabrics.
–Permanent press and delicate
fabrics tend to crease more the
bigger the load size.
For better drying results reduce the
load size or select the "Shirts"
program.
Use

1. Sort the laundry
Loosen the washed laundry and sort by
desired dryness, fiber / fabric, size and
similar residual moisture after spinning
for even drying results.
,Do not dry items that may melt or
ignite in the dryer such as plastics,
rubber or sneakers. They could melt
and damage the laundry.
–Check hems and seams, so that no
filling can drop out.
–Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened in order to
prevent small items from getting
trapped inside of them.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets.
– Tie fabric belts and apron ties.
– Remove or sew released bra
underwires.
2. Load the laundry
^Use the "Door" button to open the
