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.
Disposing 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 it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / 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.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying, and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– Make sure that the room temperature
is not too high. If there are other heat
producing appliances in the room in
which the dryer is located, make sure
the room is well ventilated and switch
the other appliances off, if possible.
– After every cycle remove fluff from
the surfaces of the fluff filters.

~It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the tumble dryer,
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.
Correct application

similar working and residential environments.
~The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
~It must only be used as a domestic appliance to dry items which
have been washed in a water solution and which are marked on the
manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. If
using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the
instructions provided on the packaging.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
incorrect or improper use or operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~The tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are are supervised whilst using it or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
7

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
current is not supplied to the tumble dryer 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 tumble dryer be guaranteed.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~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
authorised to do so by Miele.
~Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is
condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through
the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating
drying air takes place.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do
not impair the efficient functioning of the tumble dryer.
– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– In general it is not necessary to leave the tumble dryer standing
for any length of time before it is put into operation provided it has
been transported correctly (see "Installation and connection").
However, if it has not been transported as described, ensure that
the recommended standing time prior to first operation is
observed. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.
–This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases.
They are hermetically sealed.
Designation: R 134a
~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer
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 guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions

~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 8 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.
–without the fine filter in place of if the fine filter is damaged in any
way.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.
~After every cycle remove fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.
~The fluff filters and the fine filter 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.
~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 heat exchanger unit over time.
~The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
