Disposal of packaging material
The packaging material protects the
dryer from transport damage. The pack-
aging materials used are selected from
materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and should be re-
cycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also the amount of
waste. You can return the packaging to
your Miele dealer.
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 mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, 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 en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the fol-
lowing:
WARNING
This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 It is essential to read all instructions before using the appliance.
 Risk of Suffocation and Injury from Entrapment:
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervi-
sion is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.
 Before this appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
 Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.
 Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
 Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
 Do not tamper with the controls.
 Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating in-
structions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a
considerable risk to the user.
 Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended
by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
 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 in-
structions when using fabric softener sheets” section.
Tip:
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory) will add a pleasant fra-
grance to your laundry.
When a fragrance flacon is used, the fragrance is acquired by the en-
tire 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”.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
 Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reac-
tion that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire
due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle oc-
curs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly re-
moved and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
 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 de-
posits (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 ig-
nite 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 re-
mover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient deter-
gent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the item
several times.
- items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like ma-
terials.
- items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have
been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected,
including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items be-
ing 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 sur-
rounding 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 pro-
viding 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 out-
let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all lo-
cal 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 sup-
ply 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 sys-
tem 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
 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 re-
quired as an optional accessory for this. Please ensure that the
washer-dryer connection kit is suitable for the Miele tumble dryer
and the Miele washing machine.
 If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory), make sure it is the correct one.
 The maximum dry laundry weight is 17.6 lbs (8.0kg).
See the “Program chart” for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programs.
 Do not place shoes inside the drum for drying. Placing shoes in-
side the drum for drying can cause the belt to tear, requiring a ser-
vice call.
You must always use the dryer basket (optional accessory) when
drying/airing shoes. Follow the additional operating instructions for
the dryer basket.
 This tumble dryer is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for
room lighting. Replacement bulbs may only be fitted by a Miele au-
thorized person or by Miele Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Heat-pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which
is condensed by the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to
a higher temperature level and liquified by condensing, is 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 during the drying
process are normal. This does not impair the efficient functioning
of the dryer.
- The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
- This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Her-
metically sealed.

Energy-saving tips
19
This dryer with heat-pump technology
is designed for energy-saving drying
cycles. However, you can save a little
more energy with the following mea-
sures as the drying time is not ex-
tended 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 consump-
tion 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 open-
ing after every drying cycle.
You can view an energy consumption
estimate of your tumble dryer in the
pull-down menu.
When a program has been selected, the
display will show the estimate before
the program starts.

Functioning of the heat-pump dryer
20
Two separate circuits ensure that the
laundry is dried:
Dry air circuit
The drying air flows through a heat ex-
changer, 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 direc-
tion 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 sev-
eral 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 ex-
changer, 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 re-
frigerant.
- 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 ex-
changer. 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.
