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 follow-
ing:
1. For your own safety and for the pro-
tection of your machine read these
operating instructions carefully be-
fore using your dryer for the first time.
2. Remember to remove the door when
disposing of an old machine to pre-
vent children from accidently locking
themselves in.
3. Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
4. Do not install your dryer in rooms
where freezing temperatures may
occur. The reliability of the electronic
control system may be impaired.
5. This machine should only be used for
drying the following fabrics:
– Items which can be machine dried
as specified by the laundry care
label.
– Items which have been washed in
water.
6. The following fabrics pose a fire ha-
zard:
– Items which contain foam rubber,
rubber or rubberlike components.
– Items which have been treated with
flammable cleaning agents, such as
gasoline or dry-cleaning solvents.
– Items containing hair lacquer, hair-
spray, nail polish remover or similar
substances.
7. Clean the lint filter before and after
each load.
8. Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flamm-
able or explosive substances. They
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
9. Do not allow children to play on or in
the appliance. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the ap-
pliance is used near children.
10.Always close the door after use to
prevent children from leaning on the
door and causing the dryer to tilt.
11.Do not drink the condensed water.
12..K e e p t h e a r e a a ro un d t h e a i r int a k e
(toekick) and surrounding areas free
from lint, dust and dirt.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13.The interior of the machine should be
cleaned periodically by qualified per-
sonnel.
14.Do not reach into the dryer if the
drum is moving.
15.Do not tamper with the controls.
16.Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance, or attempt any servic-
ing unless specifically recom-
mended in this operations manual.
Repairs to electrical appliances
should only carried out by qualified
personnel.
Incorrectly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the user.
17.Lint is principally the result of friction
caused by items being worn and
washed.
Machine drying causes insignificant
amounts of lint to form and, as has
been established by research in-
stitutes, has no detrimental effect on
the lifetime of fabrics.
18.Warning - Do not use fabric sof-
tener/anti static dryer sheets.
Residues from these products block-
up (clog) the lint filter causing prema-
ture failure of the dryer.
Miele dryers are designed to dry
laundry without static cling. How-
ever, should fabric softener be re-
quired, use liquid fabric softener in
the wash cycle.
Clean lint filter mesh monthly by wash-
ing/scrubbing with hot soap and
water.
19.Donotplaceitems exposed to
oilsin your dryer.Itemscontaimed
withoilsmaycontribute to a
chemicalreactionthatcould
cause a load to catch fire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For grounding and electrical
connection instructions, refer
to the electrical connection
section.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Loading the machine
WARNING - To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons,read the IMPORT-
ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before operating this appliance.
Load the laundry loosely into the
drum.
Duvet covers and pillowcases
should be fastened before drying in
order to prevent small items from roll-
ing inside of them.
Important: Check that laundry can-
not be trapped by the door as this
may cause damage to the fabric.
Unloading the machine
If the wash is not removed at the end
of the drying program, the machine
will automatically enter the anti-
crease cycle for 60 minutes. This en-
tails the drum being rotated at short
intervals in order to reduce the forma-
tion of creases.
Once the laundry has been
removed, check that the drum is
empty. Any items left in the drum
could be damaged through over-
drying during the next program.
Clean the lint filter after each drying
cycle to prevent excessive energy
consumption, longer program times
and the risk of fire.
The door should always be closed
after use.

Notes on laundry care
Before drying, check the instructions
on the fabric care label.
The following fabrics should not be
dried in a tumble dryer:
– Woollens and wool blends
These fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink.
– Items filled with down
The fine fabric interior tends to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item
involved.
– Pure linen
These items should only be machine-
dried if specified as suitable by the
manufacturer on the textile care label.
The surface of the fabric may other-
wise tend to become “rough”.
Miele dryers have been designed to
dry laundry free of static cling, without
the use of dryer softener sheets or simi-
lar products. The dryer continuously
monitors the moisture content of the
laundry, and automatically shuts off the
heat when the selected degree of dry-
ness is reached. Through the use of a
cool down period, (where the machine
operates without heat), cool, static free
laundry is the end result. Dryer softener
sheets perform the same function by
depositing a chemical residue on both
the clothes and the interior of the dryer.
Over time, this coating may lead to per-
formance reductions in the dryer.
If fabric softening is desired, it is more
convenient, economical and beneficial to
the clothing if a liquid softener is auto-
matically dispensed while the clothes are
in the washing machine. Please see the
washing machine operating instructions
for directions on how to automatically dis-
pense a liquid softener.
Notes:
Knitted fabrics and flannel sheets tend
to shrink when washed for the first time
and also when dried. They should not
be overdried (Extra dry)!
Starched laundry can also be dried in
the tumble dryer.
Permanent press items should be
briefly spun in the washing machine be-
fore drying. Items which are prone to
creasing should not be dried in the
“PERMANENT PRESS- Normal +” - Pro-
gram.
Drip-dry shirts made of pure cotton
may tend to crease, depending on the
quality of their finish.
These items should be dried in a
“Hand iron”program.
Permanent press fabrics tend to crease
more as the size of the load increases.
This is particularly true of very delicate
fabrics. The load should be reduced to
1.5 kg or, if necessary, to 1 kg.
Do not dry new dark-colored fabrics
together with light-colored items as
they may discolor.
