Caring for the environment

Disposal of the transport packaging material
The packaging material protects the dryer from transport damage. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also the amount of waste.

Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with general waste.

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. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNING In order to prevent fire, electric shock or injury to persons during the use of this tumble dryer, you must observe the following vital precautionary measures:  WARNING This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.  You must read all instructions before using the tumble dryer for the first time.  Children must not play with, on or inside the tumble dryer. Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the tumble dryer. Make sure the door of the tumble dryer is always closed in order to avoid endangering children.  If the tumble dryer is no longer in use and you wish to dispose of it, remove the door.  Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.  Do not touch the drum whilst it is still rotating.  Do not store or operate the tumble dryer outdoors.  Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer.  Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorized to do so by Miele. Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician, otherwise there could be a considerable danger to the user.
7

WARNING AND 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 capsule (optional accessory) will add a pleasant fragrance to your laundry. When a fragrance capsule is used, the fragrance is absorbed by the entire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is that the fragrance is sometimes only absorbed by a few items of laundry, especially when drying a full load.
 When you use a fragrance capsule, always follow the warnings in this section as well as those under "Fragrance capsule".
8

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be tumble
dried: - Items which have not been washed. - Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled
with grease, oil or other deposits (such as work clothes, kitchen linens or cosmetics cloths with lubricants, cooking oils, grease, lotions, etc, as there is a danger that they might ignite when heated (chemical reaction), even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the program. - Items which have been washed or dry-cleaned using chemicals or other flammable substances (e.g. professional dry-cleaning agents). They could emit explosive fumes. - Items that have been soiled with flammable or explosive cleaning agents or substances containing acetone, alcohol, gasoline, petroleum, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths). - Items which have been soiled with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail polish remover or similar substances.  When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use a larger quantity of detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times. - 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, rubberized articles, and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling. - Items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets) and are damaged. The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire.
9

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  In many programs, 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 prevents the danger of the laundry igniting). The program is not finished until after the cooling down phase. It is advisable to remove all laundry as soon as the program has finished.  The lint filters must be cleaned before or after every drying cycle!  Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located, particularly the plinth area, free from dust and lint.  The inside of the tumble dryer must be cleaned regularly by an authorized specialist.  GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The electrical safety of this dryer can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding system. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system. The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the dryer can be disconnected from the electricity supply.  WARNING � If the grounding conductor is connected incorrectly, this can result in electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you are unsure whether the appliance is properly grounded.
10

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  Do not change the plug: If it does not fit into the socket, you
should have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  In the event of a fault or during cleaning and maintenance, the tumble dryer is only completely disconnected from the electricity supply when the tumble dryer plug has been removed or if the fuse has been disconnected or if the screw-out fuse has been removed. Do not switch on the supply until the task has been completed.  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 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 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 inside the drum for drying can cause the belt to tear, requiring a service 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 lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. relating to temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorized person or by Miele Customer Service.
11

WARNING AND 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 liquefied by condensing, is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating 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 starting a drying program. - The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying
process are normal. They do not impair the efficient functioning of the tumble dryer. - The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive. - This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Hermetically sealed. Designation of refrigerant: R134a Amount of refrigerant: 0,47 kg Global warming potential of refrigerant: 1430 kg CO2 e Global warming potential of appliance: 672 kg CO2 e  This product can contain chemicals known by the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other genetic defects.
12

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Using a fragrance capsule (optional accessory)  Only use genuine Miele original fragrance capsules.  The fragrance capsule must be stored in its original packaging so please make sure you retain this.  Caution: The fragrance can leak out of the capsule! Make sure that you always keep the capsule or the lint filter with the capsule inserted in it in a horizontal position when carrying, and do not tip or place it down on any surface.  Use an absorbent cloth to wipe up any fragrance which has leaked out of the capsule onto the floor, the dryer or any dryer components (e.g. the lint filter) immediately.  If fragrance comes in contact with the body: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If swallowed, rinse mouth thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention if the fragrance comes in contact with the eyes or is swallowed!  Immediately change clothes that have come in contact with the fragrance. Thoroughly wash clothing or fabric using a large amount of water and detergent.  There is the risk of fire or damage to the tumble dryer if the following instructions are not observed: - Never refill a capsule with fragrance. - Never use a faulty fragrance capsule.  Dispose of an empty fragrance capsule with the household waste and never use it for any other purpose.  Please also observe the information supplied with the fragrance capsule.

Energy saving tips

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 heatproducing appliances in the room in which the dryer is located, make sure the room is well ventilated and switch the other appliances off. - Clean the lint filters in the door opening 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

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 afresh.

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 anew.

20

Initial commissioning

Downtime after installation  Damage caused by switching the
appliance on too soon. This can damage the heat pump. After setting up the tumble dryer, wait for at least one hour before starting a drying program.
Removing the protective foil and stickers
 Remove: - any protective film from the door - any stickers from the front and the lid
Please do not remove any labels (e.g. the data plate) which are visible when you open the door.
Miele@home
Your tumble dryer is equipped with an integrated WiFi module. To use this feature, you will need: - a WiFi network - the Miele@mobile app - a Miele user account You can create
a user account via the Miele@mobile app. The Miele@mobile app will guide you as you connect your tumble dryer to your home WiFi network. Once your dryer is connected to your WiFi network, you can use the app to carry out various activities, such as: - controlling your tumble dryer remotely

- calling up information on the operating status of your tumble dryer
- calling up information on the program sequence of your tumble dryer
Connecting your tumble dryer to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the tumble dryer is switched off.
Before installing the dryer in its final location, ensure the signal strength is sufficient for your WiFi network.
Availability of the WiFi connection The WiFi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This may result in sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, the availability of featured functions cannot always be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability The ability to use the Miele app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country. The Miele@home service is not available in every country. For information about availability, please visit www.miele.com.

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Points to note regarding washed laundry
- When washing very heavily soiled items, ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
- Do not load the drum with items that are still soaking wet. Make sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying. The higher the spin speed, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying.
- New dark-coloured garments should be washed and dried separately from light-coloured garments. There is the risk of colours running and discolouring other garments or even plastic components in the dryer. Dark coloured fibres can also settle on light coloured garments and vice versa.
- Starched laundry can be tumble dried. To achieve the usual finish, double the amount of starch should be used.
Preparing the laundry before drying
 Damage due to foreign objects
which were not removed from the laundry. Foreign objects can melt, burn, or explode. Ensure that any foreign objects (e.g., detergent dispensing balls, lighters, etc.) have been removed from the laundry.

 Risk of fire due to incorrect use
and operation. The laundry can burn and destroy the tumble dryer and the surroundings. See "WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" for further information.
- Sort the laundry according to the type of fibre and weave, size, garment care label symbol, and the drying level required.
- Check seams and stitching to ensure that padding and linings are intact. This way you will avoid the danger of fillings coming out. These could catch fire when being dried.
- Untangle the laundry. - Tie together textile belts and apron
ties. - Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from becoming rolled up inside them. - Fasten hooks and eyes. - Leave jackets open and undo any long zippers so that textiles dry evenly. - Sew in or remove underwiring from bras. - If necessary, reduce the size of the load for these types of fabric. Wrinkle-free fabric tends to crease more, the larger the load. This is particularly the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as dress shirts or blouses.

24

1. Notes on correct laundry care

Drying
Useful tip: See the "Program chart". This describes the programs and gives their maximum load. - Always observe the maximum
recommended load for each program. This will mean that the energy consumption for the amount of laundry is at its most economical. - Down-filled garments have linings which have a tendency to shrink, depending on the quality of the item. Only use the SoftSteam program for these items. - You should only tumble dry pure linen if it is specified as suitable by the manufacturer on the care label, as the surface of the fabric may otherwise become rough. Only use the SoftSteam program for these items. - Woolens and wool blends tend to become matted and shrink if tumble dried. Only use the Woolens Handcare program for these items. - Jersey fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, underwear) tend to shrink when they are washed for the first time. Therefore, do not over-dry the fabrics to prevent them from shrinking further. Buy jersey fabrics that are one or two sizes bigger. - Select the Gentle extra option for fabric which is particularly heatsensitive or susceptible to creasing.

2. Loading the tumble dryer

Loading the laundry
Textiles may be damaged. Before loading, read "1. Notes on correct laundry care".

2 sockets for inserting fragrance capsules The "Fragrance capsule" chapter describes how to use the fragrance capsule.

 Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the laundry, give a disappointing drying result, and cause more creasing.
This can result in damage to the laundry. When closing the door, make sure that laundry does not get trapped in the door opening.

If you are not using a fragrance capsule: push the tab down completely (see arrow) so that the socket is closed. Otherwise, lint will accumulate here.
Closing the door

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the plinth filter flap

Cleaning the tumble dryer
Disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical supply.

 Use a damp cloth to remove any lint. Make sure that you do not damage the rubber seal when doing this.
 Close the heat exchanger flap.
 Damage or ineffective drying if
drying takes place without a plinth filter or when the heat exchanger flap is open. An excessive accumulation of lint can damage the tumble dryer. If the system is not leak-tight, this can make the drying ineffective. Only operate the tumble dryer with the plinth filter installed and the heat exchanger flap closed.

 Damage due to the use of
unsuitable care products. Unsuitable care products could damage plastic surfaces and other parts. Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners, or allpurpose cleaners.
 Clean the tumble dryer and the seal on the inside of the door with a slightly damp soft cloth, a mild solution of dish detergent, and water.
 Dry all the parts with a soft cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Replacing the plinth filter
The heat exchanger can clog up. Replace the plinth filter immediately if you see the following signs of wear before or after cleaning (optional accessory).
Poor fit

Deformation

Deformations indicate that the plinth filter has become worn.

The edges of the plinth filter do not sit properly and the plinth filter is deformed. Lint will blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered through edges that do not sit properly. This will cause a permanent obstruction in the heat exchanger.

65

Frequently Asked Questions

Cracks, tears, indentations

White residues or residues of other colours

Lint will blow into the heat exchanger through cracks and tears. This will cause a permanent obstruction in the heat exchanger.

Residues arise from laundry fibres and traces of detergent components. They can be found on the front and side edges of the plinth filter. In extreme cases, they can form stubborn crust. Residues are a sign that the plinth filter no is longer a snug fit at the sides, even if it appears to be perfect: lint is getting in unfiltered at the edges. Reactivate the plinth filter. If these residues appear on the plinth filter again soon after cleaning, the plinth filter must be replaced.

66

Frequently Asked Questions

Reactivating the plinth filter
You can reactivate one or more dirty plinth filters in the washing machine. You will then be able to use the plinth filter again.

Installation
Installation Levelling the tumble dryer
 Ensure that no closeable door,
sliding door or an oppositely hinged door is installed that would hinder the door of the dryer being opened in any way.

Downtime after installation
 Damage caused by switching the
appliance on too soon. This can damage the heat pump. After setting up the tumble dryer, wait for at least one hour before starting a drying program.
Ventilation The cold air intake at the front of the dryer must not be blocked or covered. This would hinder a sufficient intake of cold air for the heat exchanger.

The appliance must stand perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation.

Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet, etc. This would otherwise hinder a sufficient flow of air to the tumble dryer. The hot air that is blown out from the heat exchanger warms the room air. Ensure sufficient ventilation of the room: e.g., open the window. The drying time will otherwise take longer (higher energy requirement).

The screw feet can be adjusted to compensate for unevenness in the floor.
77

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Before moving the tumble dryer again A small quantity of condensed water that remains in the area around the pump after the drying process can run out if the dryer is tilted.
