Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these
materials improperly by disposing of
them in your household waste can be
harmful to your health and the
environment. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste and follow
local regulations on proper disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Important information regarding use of fabric softener sheets:
We do not recommend use of fabric softener sheets. Use of fabric
softener sheets can clog the surfaces of the lint filters, extending the
drying time and increasing energy consumption. During subsequent
cleaning, the plastic and surfaces of the lint filters can be damaged!
The best results are obtained by using liquid fabric softener in the
washing machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you still wish to use fabric softener sheets, be sure to follow the
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning and care” in the “Cleaning
instructions when using fabric softener sheets” section.
Tip:
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory) will add a pleasant
fragrance to your laundry.
When a fragrance flacon is used, the fragrance is acquired by the
entire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is
that under certain circumstances the fragrance is acquired by only a
few items of laundry, especially when drying a full load.
When you use a fragrance flacon, always follow the warnings
in this section as well as those under “Fragrance flacon”.
8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this dryer:
- items which have not been washed.
- items, such as work-wear, exposed to grease, oils, or other
deposits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these
items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the
laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the
dryer.
- items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
- items treated with flammable cleaning agents or items containing
acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain remover, wax or chemicals from
buffing, etc.
- items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish
remover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient
detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the
item several times.
- items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
- items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have
been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.
9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected,
including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items
being removed are not too hot to handle.
 Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
 Keep the area around the air intake (toe kick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
 The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by
qualified personnel.
 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
 WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized
with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with national and local codes.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
 Before installation, disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical
supply by shutting off the power main, unplugging the power cord or
tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power until the installation
is complete.
 Miele tumble dryers and Miele washing machines can be installed
as a washer-dryer stack. A Miele washer-dryer connection kit is
required as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the
washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer

Energy-saving tips
18
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following
measures as the drying time is not
extended unnecessarily.
- Make sure your laundry is spun at the
maximum spin speed in the washing
machine before drying.
The higher the spin speed, the
greater the savings that can be made
in energy and time during drying, e.g.,
approx. 20% energy can be saved if
spun at 1,600rpm instead of
1,000rpm.
- Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the drying program being used. This
will mean that the energy
consumption for the amount of
laundry is at its most economical.
- 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.
- Clean the lint filters in the door
opening after every drying cycle.

Functioning of the heat-pump dryer
19
Two separate circuits ensure that the
laundry is dried:
Dry air circuit
The drying air flows through a heat
exchanger, the drum, and several
filters. This is ensured by a blower in
the dryer.
- The drying air flows through the heat
exchanger in the longitudinal
direction and is heated in the rear
area.
- The drying air is then blown into the
drum, where it absorbs the moisture
of the laundry.
- The damp drying air is blown back
through the heat exchanger via
several filters in the fill area and the
plinth area of the dryer.
- The drying air cools down in the
front, cool area of the heat
exchanger, and loses its moisture.
- The circuit begins again.
Refrigerant circuit
The refrigerant circuit regulates the
heating and cooling of the drying air
through the heat exchanger. The heat
pump is the central component: This
is a compressor that is connected to a
pipeline system which is filled with
refrigerant.
- The pipeline system surrounds the
heat exchanger in several bends.
- The compressor draws in the
gaseous refrigerant and compresses
it, causing the temperature to rise.
- The hot refrigerant is passed through
the pipeline system to the rear of the
heat exchanger. The heat is released
into the drying air, which flows
through the heat exchanger.
- The refrigerant liquifies by dissipating
the heat.
- The liquid refrigerant then flows
through a capillary tube (a very thin
tube) to the front area of the heat
exchanger. This changes the
pressure of the refrigerant.
- The refrigerant cools and reverts to
its gaseous state. This in turn cools
the front area of the heat exchanger
and dehumidifies the drying air.
- The circuit begins again.
