Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
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 it with
your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste recycling centre or
contact your dealer for advice. Ensure
that it presents no danger to children
while being stored for disposal.
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.

Technical safety
~Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
~Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
~The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held
liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
~Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required safety of the tumble dryer.
~If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
~Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure

~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.
~The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
~The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
~Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless

~Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
~The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the electricity supply.
~Do not block the gap between the base of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. as this would
hinder a sufficient intake of air.
~Make sure the tumble dryer door can be opened without
hindrance after installation.
Correct use
~The maximum load of dry laundry for this tumble dryer is 6 kg.
See the Programme chart for the maximum recommended loads in
individual programmes.
~Fire hazard.
The tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device).
If the drying programme were to be interrupted before the end of the
cooling down phase, the laundry could self-ignite.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this appliance:
–items which have not been washed.
–items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly
cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other
deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
these might self-ignite when heated, even after they have been
removed from the tumble dryer at the end of the programme.
–items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, wax remover or other chemicals.
– items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items, ensure that you use
additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.
~Remove all items such as lighters and matches from pockets.
~Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung
up or spread out to cool it down.
~Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:
–items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g.
professional dry-cleaning agents).
–fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex
foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles
and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
–damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of
igniting in the tumble dryer.
~In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling
down phase to ensure that the items remain at a temperature which
will not damage them and so that they are not too hot to handle
when you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry
self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down
phase has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up.
~Always close the doors after use. This way you will avoid the
danger of:
–children climbing into the tumble dryer or hiding things in it.
–pets or other small animals climbing into it.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~The tumble dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place
or if the fluff filters are damaged in any way.
~The fluff filters must be cleaned regularly.
~The tumble dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in
place.
~The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Damp or
wet filters could cause operational faults.
~Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble
dryer may not be able to operate properly. There is a risk of damage
if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and in the
drain hose.
The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and
+35°C.
~If the water is drained externally 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 tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff. Dust and dirt drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages
in the condenser unit over time.
~The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

Miele tumble dryer and Miele washing machine.
~If installing the tumble dryer on a Miele plinth, (available as an
optional accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for
this tumble dryer.
