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 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 your
appliance 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 (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.

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 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 safety
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt the household 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
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions
6

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.
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
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
7

In the event of a fault or for
cleaning purposes, the machine is
only completely isolated from the
electiricty 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, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Operation
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 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 thoroughly
dried after cleaning. If they are still
damp or wet when replaced there is a
risk of faults occurring when the
machine is used.
The dryer must not be used without
the condenser unit in place.
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.
There is a risk of damage if the
condensed water is allowed to freeze in
the pump, hoses and / or condensed
water container.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C.
If the water is drained externally
through the drain hose 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
machine free of dust and fluff. Dust
drawn into the machine can, over time,
cause blockages in the condenser unit.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

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 damaged
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
(kitchen oils, 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 onto or into the
dryer or hiding things in it.
–pets or other small animals climbing
into it.
Safety with children
This machine is not a toy. To avoid
the risk of injury keep children
away from the machine at all times and
supervise them whilst you are using it.
Do not allow children to play on or near
it or to play with its controls. Supervise
its use by the elderly or infirm.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by Miele.
If non-Miele parts are used with this
machine, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may be
invalidated.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
switch it off at the wall socket and
unplug it. Render the plug useless and
cut off the cable directly behind the
machine. This should be done by a
competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Programme duration / Estimated time
remaining
When a programme is selected, the
estimated duration (time remaining) will
appear in the display. Please be aware
that it is only an estimate!
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, Silks handcare and
Smoothing programmes can finish
earlier than expected if a certain
temperature is reached. This can
happen with particularly fine fabrics,
very small loads 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
.
–Use the
Automatic programme for
drying mixed loads of cottons and
minimum iron fabrics.
–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 partially dried 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. Be particularly careful when
using the
Hygiene programmes.
When purchasing these garments it
is advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.
– For garments made from very fine
weave fibres, such as shirts or
blouses, only use the
Shirts or
Delicates programme to avoid
creasing. If in doubt, reduce the load
or use the
Smoothing or Silks
handcare
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.

Brief instructions
The headings numbered (A,B,C...)
show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide to using 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.
