Disposal of 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. 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 materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, 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 ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal.

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:

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 supervision 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 instructions. 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

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 flacon (optional accessory) will add a pleasant fragrance to your laundry.

When a fragrance flacon is used, the fragrance is acquired by the entire 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".

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. 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.
• 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 ignite 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 remover, etc.

When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the item several times.

• items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

▶ Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected, including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items being 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 surrounding 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 providing 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 outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local 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.

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. 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 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 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 bulb to cope with particular 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 authorized 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. Hermetically sealed.

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 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 opening after every drying cycle.

Viewing the estimated energy consumption

You can view information about the energy consumption of your tumble dryer with the i sensor button.

■ After selecting a drying program, touch the i sensor button.

The estimated energy-consumption levels will be displayed as a bar chart.

The more bars visible (I), the higher the energy consumption.

The estimate will vary depending on the drying program and any extra options selected.

Touch the OK sensor button or wait until the display automatically returns to the standard display.

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 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 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 again.

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 film and stickers

■ Remove:

• any protective film from the door
• any stickers from the front and from the lid

Please do not remove any labels (e.g., the data plate) which are visible when you open the door.

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 colored garments should be washed and dried separately from light colored garments. There is the risk of colors running and discoloring other garments or even plastic components in the dryer. Dark colored fibers can also settle on light colored 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 dryer and the surroundings.

Read and observe "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS".

• Sort the laundry according to the type of fiber 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 being 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. Easy care 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.

Drying

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 Soft-Steam 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 heat-sensitive or susceptible to creasing.

Understanding the care label symbols

If tap water is used frequently, white limescale deposits can build up on the rubber seal 2.

Use a damp cloth to carefully remove any limescale deposits from the rubber seal 2.

FragranceDos

Fragrance flacons (optional accessories) can be used to give your laundry a pleasant scent.

This tumble dryer has 2 sockets for inserting fragrance flacons. This gives you a choice of how to use them.

• You can use both sockets if you wish to change from one fragrance to another. You can close the fragrance flacon that you are not using.
• Use both sockets if you want a more intense scent of the same fragrance. Or if you wish to conveniently switch between a fragrance for normal laundry and DryFresh to freshen up your laundry.
• To use just one fragrance, use one socket only.

Risk of fire and harm to health if fragrance flacons are used incorrectly.

Leaked fragrance can be harmful to your health if it comes into contact with your body. Leaked fragrance can cause fire.

Before using a fragrance flacon, please read "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS", "Using the fragrance flacon (optional accessory)".

Damp laundry and longer drying durations with sufficient heat transfer are needed for the fragrance to be released into the laundry effectively.

The fragrance will also be noticeable in the room air during the process. The Cold Air program will not generally apply fragrance.

Closing the fragrance flacon

After drying, the fragrance flacon should be closed to prevent the fragrance from escaping needlessly.

■ Turn the outer ring counterclockwise until marker ② is in position ⑩.

Replace the fragrance flacon with a new one when the intensity of the fragrance is no longer sufficient.

Removing/replacing the fragrance flacon

■ Turn the outer ring counterclockwise until the markers ① and ② line up.

Replace the fragrance flacon with a new one.

When not in use, you can store the fragrance flacon in its original packaging.

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

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.

Deformation

Deformations indicate that the plinth filter has become worn.

Cracks, tears, indentations

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

White residues or residues of other colors

Residues arise from laundry fibers 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 longer fits snugly 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.

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.

Prior to reactivation, check that the plinth filter is in good order. Check the plinth filter following the instructions provided in “Frequently Asked Questions – Replacing the plinth filter”. Replace the plinth filter if it has worn out.

■ Wash the plinth filter(s) separately, not with any laundry items. Do not add any detergent. ■ Select a short wash program with a maximum temperature of 104°F (40°C) and a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.

You can re-insert the plinth filter once the wash and spin cycle is complete.

Checking the heat exchanger unit

Sharp Edges – To reduce the risk of injury, use care when cleaning the condenser or evaporator coil fins. You could cut yourself. Do not touch the cooling fins with your hands.

■ Look to see if lint has accumulated. Remove any lint you can see.

⚠️ Damage due to incorrect cleaning of the heat exchanger. The tumble dryer will not dry if the cooling fins are damaged or bent. Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a dusting brush attached. Only pass the vacuum cleaner dusting brush over the heat-exchanger fins lightly, without applying any pressure.

■ Vacuum up any lint and residues.

Cleaning the lint filter in the condensed water container

In some circumstances, there can be problems running the Steam Care program. The lint filter at the end of the hose which is connected to the rubber seal in the condensed water container could be blocked.

■ Remove the condensed water container.

■ Pull out the spout. Remove the spout by holding the side lug and pulling upwards.

To avoid detaching the hose, be careful not to tug on it.

■ Guide the end of the hose through the opening and hold it securely with one hand. ■ Use your other hand to pull the lint filter off the hose. ■ Rinse the lint filter with a jet of water until all the lint has been removed. ■ Refit the cleaned lint filter onto the hose. ■ Now feed the hose with its lint filter attached into the condensed water container. ■ Refit the spout in the condensed water container ensuring that it is positioned correctly. Please refer to the image.

Frequently asked questions

Miele@home

Control the networking of your dryer with your WiFi network.

The following points may appear in the sub-menu:

- Set up

This message only appears if the tumble dryer has not yet been connected to a WiFi network.

Please refer to "Initial set-up" for instructions on how to set up the connection.

- Deactivate (visible if Miele@home is activated)

Miele@home remains set up; the WiFi function is turned off.

- Activate (visible if Miele@home is de-activated)

The WiFi function is reactivated.

- Connection status (visible if Miele@home is activated)

The following values are displayed:

• the quality of WiFi reception
• the network name
• the IP address

- Set up again (visible if set up)

Resets the WiFi login (network) to immediately re-establish a new connection.

- Reset (visible if set up)

- The WiFi is switched off.

- The WiFi connection will be reset to the default setting.

The network configuration should be reset whenever a tumble dryer is being disposed of or sold, or if a used tumble dryer is being put into operation. This is the only way to ensure that all personal data has been removed and the previous owner will no longer be able to access the tumble dryer.

A new connection set-up has to be carried out in order to use the Miele@home setting again.

Remote control

The Remote control setting is only visible if the Miele@home setting is set up and activated.

Once the Miele@mobile app has been installed on your mobile device, you can check the status of your tumble dryer from anywhere and start it remotely. You can also control it remotely via the MobileStart function.

You can switch off the Remote control setting if you do not want to operate the dryer with your mobile device.

If the remote control is not switched on, the app may cause the program to be canceled.

Use the “Delay start” button to set a time at which you wish to start the tumble dryer and start the delay start (see “Delay start/SmartStart”).

The tumble dryer will then start within the specified timeframe when it receives your signal.

If it has not received a start signal by the latest start time set, the tumble dryer will start automatically.

Remote control is activated by default.

SmartGrid

The Remote control setting is only visible if the Miele@home setting is set up and activated.

This function can be used to start your tumble dryer automatically at a time when your energy costs are most economical.

Activating SmartGrid gives the delay start button a new function. You set the SmartGrid via the “Delay start” button. The tumble dryer will then start within the specified timeframe when it receives a signal from the energy supplier. If it has not received a signal from the energy supplier by the latest start time set, the tumble dryer will start automatically (see “Delay start”). Please check with your local utility provider for availability.

The SmartGrid function is switched off by default.

RemoteUpdate

The RemoteUpdate function is used to update the software in your tumble dryer.

RemoteUpdate is activated by default. If you do not install a RemoteUpdate, you can continue to use your tumble dryer in the usual way. However, Miele recommends installing RemoteUpdates.

Activation

The RemoteUpdate menu option is only displayed and can only be selected if you have added your tumble dryer to your WiFi network (see “Settings – Miele@home”).

Miele's RemoteUpdate function can only be used if the tumble dryer is connected to a WiFi network and you have an account in the Miele@mobile app. The tumble dryer must be registered in the app.

See the Miele@mobile app for terms and conditions of use.

Some software updates can only be carried out by Miele Customer Service.

Running a RemoteUpdate

If a RemoteUpdate is available for your tumble dryer, it will be displayed automatically for you.

You can choose to start the RemoteUpdate immediately or wait until later. If you select “Start later”, the prompt to run the RemoteUpdate will be displayed again the next time you switch on your tumble dryer.

The RemoteUpdate can take a few minutes.

Please note the following information about the RemoteUpdate function:

• You will only receive a message when a RemoteUpdate is available.
• Once a RemoteUpdate has been installed, it cannot be undone.
• Do not switch off the tumble dryer during a RemoteUpdate. Otherwise, the RemoteUpdate will be aborted and will not be installed.

Please have the model and serial number of your appliance available when contacting Customer Service.
