Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation! Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: It is essential to read all instructions before using the appliance. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children. Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction 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 occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g., 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 should only be fitted by a Miele authorized person or by Miele Technical Service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Using a fragrance capsule (optional accessory) Only use genuine Miele original fragrance capsules. Store the fragrance capsule in its original packaging. Make sure that you always keep the fragrance flacon or the lint filter with the flacon inserted in it in a horizontal position when carrying, and do not tip or place it down on any surface. The fragrance can leak out of the flacon.

This filter system collects all lint generated during the drying process. 1. When to clean the lint filter The lint filters are located in the drumloading area. Failure to clean the filter regularly could increase drying times. Fire hazard due to irregular maintenance.
Cleaning and care 2. When to clean the filter in the toekick The filter in the toe-kick is behind the lint-filter flap on the bottom left. With normal use Clean the filter when this prompt appears in the display: Clean out the airways. With continuous use Clean once a day and also when the prompt appears in the display. The surface of the filter in the filter insert is visible after removing the lint filter. This filter surface also has to be cleaned. To delete the message: Touch the OK sensor control.
Cleaning and care 3. When to clean the grille in the bottom right/heat exchanger for heat dissipation Clean when Open bottom right grille, clean the heat exchanger appears in the display. The bottom-right grille can be removed. This covers the heat exchanger for heat dissipation. Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust and lint. Doing so will mean that you will rarely have to clean the grille. See “Bottom-right grille/heat exchanger”.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the lint filters This tumble dryer has 2 lint filters in the loading area. The upper and lower lint filters trap lint produced during the drying process. Removing the fragrance flacon The intensity of the fragrance will be diminished if the lint filters and the toekick filter are not cleaned. Remove the fragrance flacon as described in “Removing/replacing the fragrance flacon” under “Fragrance flacons”. Remove the lint (see arrows).
Cleaning and care Cleaning the lint filters and air-flow openings thoroughly If the drying duration has become longer or the surface of the filters is visibly compacted with lint, you should carry out the following cleaning procedure. Cleaning the lint filters while dry Pull the upper lint filter forward to remove it. Use a vacuum cleaner with a long crevice nozzle attached to remove any visible lint from the upper air-flow openings. Turn the yellow knob until it clearly engages.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the lint filters with water Rinse the filter surfaces through under warm running water. Wipe the smooth plastic surfaces of both lint filters with a damp cloth to clean them. Wet lint filters could cause operational faults while drying. Shake the lint filters thoroughly and then dry them carefully. Push the lower lint filter in completely and lock it with the yellow knob. Push the upper lint filter in completely. Close the door.

Rinse the filter until all visible residues have been removed. Damage caused by a insufficiently cleaned or damaged lint filter. If the filter has not been properly cleaned or is damaged, the heat exchanger will be clogged. There will be an insufficient flow of air and heat in the heat exchanger.
Cleaning and care Deformation Deformations indicate that the filter has become blocked and worn by continuous use. Cracks, tears, indentations White residues or residues of other colors Residues arise from laundry fibers and traces of detergent components which can clog the filter. They can be found on the front and side edges of the filter. In extreme cases, they can form stubborn crust.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filter insert (in the toe-kick) The surface of the filter in the filter insert is visible after removing the lint filter in the toe-kick. This filter surface must only be cleaned if there is a visible accumulation of lint. Removing the filter insert If the filter insert is clogged up and soiled, it must be removed and cleaned under running water.
