Caring for the environment
7
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with household waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-
sonal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tumble
dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam-
age to the tumble dryer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the tumble dryer as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
 This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must be used only 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 us-
ing dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instruc-
tions provided on the packaging.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held li-
able for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or opera-
tion.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or know-
ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble
dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer unsu-
pervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble
dryer unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do
not let them play with it.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Technical safety
 Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and the “Technical
data”.
 Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-
ible 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 electri-
cian.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
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
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
 The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring
system 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat
and are a fire hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
 The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
 The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by
the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to a higher temper-
ature level and liquefied by condensing, is led in a closed circuit
through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circu-
lating drying air takes place.
Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon.
This can damage the heat pump.
After setting up the tumble dryer wait for at least one hour before
switching it on.
- The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do 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.

tumble dryer).

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
 Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
 This 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.
 This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resist-
ance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only
be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or the Miele Service Department.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Correct use
 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 hoses.
 The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 9.0 kg (dry weight).
The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are
given in the Programme chart.
 To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a
controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device).
If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling
down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.
 Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying pro-
gramme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up or
spread out to cool it down.
 In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling
down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when
you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-ig-
niting). 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this tumble dryer:
- 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 depos-
its (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thor-
oughly cleaned there is a danger that these might ignite when
heated, even after they have been removed from the 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 acet-
one, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine,
wax and 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 suffi-
cient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash
the items several times.
 Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this tumble dryer:
- Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
- Items 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 it
igniting in the dryer.
 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.
 Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up.
 The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle.
 The fluff filters or the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Wet fluff/plinth filters could cause operational faults while
drying.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
 The tumble dryer must not be used without fluff filters or
- with damaged fluff filters, or
- with a damaged plinth filter.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.
 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 if con-
sumed.
 Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff.
Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the heat
exchanger over time.
 The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
 Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

Warning and Safety instructions
18
Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory)
 Only use genuine Miele original fragrance flacons.
 The fragrance flacon must be stored in its packaging so please
make sure you retain this.
 Caution. The fragrance can leak out of the flacon. Make sure that
you always keep the flacon, or the fluff filter with the flacon inserted
in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place
down on any surface.
 Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has
leaked out of the flacon onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer com-
ponents (e.g. the fluff filter) immediately.
 If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon: comes into contact
with the skin - wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water; comes
in contact with the eyes - rinse the eyes with clean water for at least
15minutes; is swallowed - rinse out the mouth thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical advice in the case of contact with the
eyes or if fragrance has been swallowed.
 If fragrance which has leaked out of a flacon comes in contact
with clothing, change the clothing immediately. Wash the clothing or
any cloths used for mopping up fragrance thoroughly with plenty of
water and detergent.
 There is the risk of fire or damage to the tumble dryer if the follow-
ing instructions are not observed:
- Never refill a flacon with fragrance.
- Never use a faulty fragrance flacon.
 Dispose of an empty fragrance flacon with the household waste
and never use it for any other purpose.
 Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance
flacon.

Warning and Safety instructions
19
Accessories
 Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance
and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine
in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate “WTV” stacking kit (avail-
able to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine is
required.
 If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory - depending on country), make sure it is the
correct one.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your tumble dryer.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli-
ance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
