Please read the operating instruc-
tions before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain im-
portant information about the safety,
use and maintenance of the
machine. This will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the ma-
chine. Keep these operating in-
structions in a safe place and en-
sure that new users are familiar with

chine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution and are
marked on the manufacturer’s wash
care label as being suitable for tumble
drying.
Any other applications may be dan-
gerous. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper
use or operation.

– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover
or similar;
– also padded items (eg cushions,
jackets) which have been damaged,
as the padding could fall out and
catch fire.
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 slip-
ping and the water causing damage.

Brief description
Please read the sections on “Warn-
ing and safety” and “Notes on
laundry care”.
Programmes are selected by turning
the programme selector and can be
supplemented by pressing the addi-
tional option buttons.
1 Switching the machine on and
loading the laundry

Notes on laundry care
Notes on laundry care
Notes:
Before drying, check the drying sym-
bol on the textile care label.
Some woven and loopknit materials
(eg T-shirts, cotton jersey material)
have a tendency to shrink, depending
on their quality, and this is often made
worse by over-drying. When purchas-
ing woven materials, it is advisable to
take their shrinkage properties into ac-
count.
Significance of symbols:
q = Dry at normal temperature
r = Dry at low temperature
(also push in the “Low temperature”
button if required)
s = Do not tumble dry
Starched washing can be dried in the
tumble dryer. In order to achieve the
usual finish, double the amount of
starch should be used.
t = Can be tumble dried
If no symbol is featured, dry at your own
risk applying the following principles:
Cotton and minimum iron items should
be dried in the appropriate programme
(see programme charts).
Minimum iron shirts or blouses in 100%
cotton may crease badly, depending
on the quality and weave. Try drying
these items using the “Hand iron” set-
ting but if this is unsatisfactory use the
"Smoothing" setting, then hang the gar-
ments on a hanger to dry.
For delicate fabrics, eg acrylic, select
"Minimum iron" and also press the "Low
temperature" button.
The following fabrics should not
be dried in a tumble dryer:
– Woollens and wool blends
These fabrics tend to become matted
and shrink. These fabrics can, how-
ever, be partially dried using the
“Woollens hand care” programme.
– Down-filled items*
Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the larger the drying load, particu-
larly when the weave of the fabric is very
fine. The load should be reduced to
1.5 kg or, if necessary, to 1 kg.
New dark-coloured fabrics should be
dried separately from light-coloured
fabrics to avoid colours running.
The fine fabric interior tends to
shrink, depending on the quality.
– Pure linen*
These items should only be ma-
chine dried if specified as suitable
by the manufacturer on the textile
care label, as the surface of the fab-
ric may otherwise “roughen”.
* Linen and down-filled items can,
however, be partially dried using
the “Smoothing” programme.

Hints on saving energy
Make sure there is no washing
detergent dispenser among the
laundry, as this could melt and dam-
age the machine and the laundry.
Make sure that your laundry has
been thoroughly spun at the highest
appropriate spin speed before
drying. Spinning at 1600 rpm, for
example, saves approximately 30%
energy and time compared with 800
rpm.
Load the laundry very loosely into
the drum.
Do not overload the drum. Over-
loading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry and
give a disappointing drying result.
Load the full amount of laundry ac-
cording to the programme chosen
(see “Programme chart”) for the
most economical drying related to
the size of the load. Make sure that
the drum is not over- or under-
loaded.
Shut the door with a light swing but
do not slam it. Do not push on the
door to shut it.
As far as possible, sort fabrics for:
– the type of fibre or weave
– the degree of drying required
– similar size of items
– the moisture content after spinning.
This will help towards an even drying
result.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.
1Switching on and loading
Fasten duvet covers etc to prevent
small items from being rolled up in-
side them.
Do up zips and tie fabric belts and
apron strings.
Important: Please check that items
of laundry cannot be trapped by the
door, as this will cause damage to
the fabric.
Press the “l-On / 0-Off” button.
Press the “Door” button and open
the door.

Display
Display
Various pieces of information are
shown in the display:
- the length of time a programme still
has to run (time left);
- the length of programme selected
for timed drying;
- the number of hours selected for the
delay start option;
- programmable functions as they are
switched on or off.
Each load should ideally be made
up of items of the same size. The
time left will vary more if items are of
very different sizes. In this case the
time may stop counting down
shortly before the end of the pro-
gramme, (see the "Problem solving
guide").
Time left indicator
Once a programme has started, the
electronics calculate how long the pro-
gramme will last and the following sym-
-
bols: ===... ==... appear in the display.
After approximately a minute the length
of the programme will appear and a
countdown in minutes will commence.
The time left can vary with each pro-
gramme because it is dependent on
several factors:
– the quantity, type and residual mois-
ture of the various items in the load;
– variations in electrical current;
– the surrounding temperature.
The time left should therefore only be
regarded as an estimate. However, to
make this estimate as precise as
possible, the machine has intelligent
electronics that are capable of “learn-
ing”. During the first 10-15 programme
cycles, the electronics will monitor your
individual laundry load patterns and
adapt accordingly.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the fluff filters
The fluff which is created by the drying
process is collected in the fluff filters in
the door and door opening.
Clean the filters after every pro-
gramme to reduce drying time and
save energy.
These filters should only be removed
for cleaning with water.
Dry the filters well after rinsing and
put back in place.
Cleaning the tumble dryer
Disconnect the machine from the
power supply.
Open the door. Grip the filter by the
recessed handle and pull upwards
to remove.
Remove the fluff from:
– the filter in the door
– the filters in the door opening
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-
jects.
Remove any fluff from the hollow part
of the door holder through the wide slit
at the bottom. A cleaning brush is
available at extra cost from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Clean . . .
. . . the housing and control panel:
with a mild detergent or soapy water;
. . . the drum and other stainless
steel parts: with a suitable proprie-
tary stainless steel cleaner following
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never use abrasive substances,
scouring pads, glass or general pur-
pose cleaners. These could damage
plastic surfaces and other parts.
The machine must never be hosed
down.
Push the cleaned filter back into the
door holder and close the door.
If there is a great deal of compacted fluff
on the filters, they can be cleaned under
hot running water.
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.

Adjusting the adapter strips to
the height of adjacent drawers
The height of the adapter can be ad-
justed in one of two ways:
Fitting the front panel
The front of this appliance can be fitted
with a furniture panel to match sur-
rounding units.
If the unit is fitted in a Miele kitchen, a
front panel with the appropriate dimen-
sions and the necessary holes pre-
drilled can be provided.
– by altering the position of the nuts or
– by removing strips.
If the kitchen is from a manufacturer
other than Miele, it is recommended
that the panel be cut to size and
drilled by a specialist according to
Miele specifications.
Front panel dimensions:
Height: 570 mm (+10/-25 mm)
Width: 588-596 mm
Thickness: up to 19 mm (at the edges)
The template provided serves to locate
and drill the fixing holes for non-Miele
front panels.
Place the template along the lower
edge of the rear of the front panel.
Adjustment range for the adapter
strips: max. 10 mm upwards (see ar-
rows in the illustration).
There are four short parallel markings
at each corner of the template.
For adjustment downwards to max.
25mm additional adapter strips
together with longer screws are avail-
able from Miele dealers or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Use these markings to centre the
template.
Example:
With a front panel width of 594 mm
each second marking from inside must
line up with the left and right hand out-
side edges of the panel.
After adjustment has been made,
cut or pinch off any excess length
of the plastic screw.
