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 machine
Electrical and electronic machines
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 machine.
Please do not therefore dispose or it
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.
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.
–After every cycle, remove the fluff
from the fluff filter in the door.
–Check all parts of the ventilation on a
regular basis, and remove any
build-up of fluff.
–The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.

To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They contain
important information on its safety,
installation, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
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
on-site 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 machine to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger of overheating).
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.
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

If the connection cable is faulty, it
must only be replaced with a
genuine Miele connection cable.
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.
Use
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 machine must not be used
without vent ducting in place.
The dryer must not be used without
the fluff filter in place or if the fluff
filter is damaged in any way.
Check all parts of the ventilation
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall
pipe, external grille, bends in the
ducting etc.), and make sure they are
all free of any hindrance. A build-up of
fluff will prevent a free flow of air
through the system. If the dryer is to be
connected to an existing ducting
system, this must be checked for
suitability beforehand.
Adequate ventilation is essential to
avoid the danger of asphyxia and
toxic fumes where 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.
To ensure safe operation, and to
prevent gases given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is
the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by:
–air inlets in the external wall which
cannot be closed or blocked, or
–by fitting a window contact switch
which ensures that the tumble dryer
can only be operated when the
window is opened wide enough.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent
builder must be sought.
The exhaust air must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is
in current use for something else, e.g. a
chimney for an open fire, wood burner
or operational gas boiler, nor should it
be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces. It
would be dangerous if smoke or
exhaust fumes were drawn back into
the room.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

If more than one tumble dryer is
being installed using a joint
ducting system, each dryer must have
its own non-return flap to the joint
ducting system.
Otherwise the dryers could be
damaged, and the electrical safety of
the machines jeopardised.
Always keep the area around the
machine free of dust and fluff. Dust
drawn into the machine can, over time,
cause blockages.
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.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C
To prevent the risk of fire, the
following textiles must not be
dried in this machine:
– fabrics which contain a large
proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials.
–items which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets).
–items which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents.
–items which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar substances.
–items which have been soiled with
oils or residues containing grease
(e.g. kitchen oil, cosmetics etc.).
–items soiled with wax or other
chemicals (e.g. mops and floor
cloths).
–items which have not been
thoroughly cleaned and which are
still soiled with grease or oil, e.g.
workwear. Such clothing may require
a heavy duty detergent to get them
clean. If necessary consult the
detergent manufacturer for advice.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the
door, as this can cause the
machine to tip up.
Always close the door after use.
This way you will avoid the danger
of:
–children climbing into the dryer or
hiding things inside it.
–pets climbing into it.
Warning and Safety instructions

For machines with stainless steel
surfaces:
The stainless steel surfaces must not
come into contact with liquid cleaning
and disinfecting agents which contain
chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These
agents can have a corrosive effect on
stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
can also be corrosive.
Do not store containers of these agents
near the machine.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury do not allow
children to play on or near it or to play
with the controls. Supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm, and supervise
children whilst you are operating the
machine.

Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If other parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
^Before discarding an old machine,
disconnect it from the mains supply,
or switch off at the wall socket and
unplug it.
^To prevent the risk of misuse, render
any plug useless and cut off the
cable directly behind the machine.

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
handcare 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.

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
.
–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 "fluffed up" using the
Woollens
handcare
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 larger the load,
particularly when the weave of the
fabric is very fine.
Reduce the load or use the
Shirts
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.
Notes on laundry care

Brief instructions
The headings numbered A,B,C...
show the operating sequence, and can
be used as a brief guide to operating
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 zips, hooks and eyes etc.
–Tie fabric belts and apron strings.
–Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
BLoad the tumble dryer
^Press the
Door button to open the
drum door.
^Load the laundry loosely into the
drum.
Do not overload the drum. See the
"Programme chart" for
recommended loads for each
programme.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, and
give a disappointing drying result.
Check the laundry is right inside the
drum so that it cannot get trapped or
damaged when the door is shut.
^Shut the door either with a gentle
swing, or lean against it and push it
shut.
