,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 or pet hazards.

~Before this appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door

to the drying compartment.

~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 lean on the door. The dryer

may tip over.

~Do not tamper

with the controls.

~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.

~Do not use fabric softeners or

products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the fabric

manufacturer.

~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

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 appliances may

pose a considerable risk to the user.

~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 appliance and

exhaust duct should be cleaned

periodically by qualified personnel.

This dryer is intended for

residential use only!

~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 the risk of electric shock.

Contact a qualified electrician if you are

in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

~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.

~Do not install or use a dryer with

visible damage.

~This dryer must not be used without

an exhaust hose, lint filter or a

damaged lint filter.

~Check regularly on the exhaust

parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvered wall

vent, bends, etc.) if enough air gets

through. Lint can collect and block the

air flow.

If an exhaust hose is already installed, it

should be checked before connected

to the dryer.

~Faulty components must only be

replaced with original Miele spare

parts.

~If the power cord is damaged it

must only be replaced by a Miele

Service technician with a genuine Miele

power cord.

Using accessories

~Only use genuine Miele

accessories. If unapproved parts are

used, guarantee, performance and

product liability claims may become

void.

Drying tips

– Observe the maximum loads, see the

"Program Guide".

Overloading the dryer will result in

poor drying results and wrinkling.

– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric

care symbol rwith the "Gentle"

option.

–Do not dry dripping wet items in the

dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash

for at least 30 seconds.

–Open jackets to allow even drying.

–Wool and wool blends tend to felt

and shrink. Dry these items in the

"Woolens" program.

–The fine cotton fabric or down filled

items tends to shrink.

–Dry pure linen items only if it is

advised on the fabric care label. The

surface of the fabric otherwise tends

to become "rough".

–Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and

underwear) tend to shrink when

washed and dried for the first time.

Do not over-dry these fabrics.

–Permanent press and delicate

fabrics tend to crease more the

bigger the load size.

For better drying results reduce the

load size or select the "Delicates"

program.

– Starched laundry can be dried in the

tumble dryer. However, the amount

of starch must be doubled during the

wash.

– Wash new, colored items before

drying for the first time and do not

dry with light-colored items. These

fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic

parts of the dryer). Colored lint could

adhere to light-colored items.

Before loading the dryer

1. Sort the laundry

^Sort the laundry by desired dryness,

fabric, size and similar residual

moisture after spinning to assure

even drying results.

,Do not dry items that may melt or

ignite in the dryer such as plastics or

rubber. They could melt and

damage the laundry.

^Check hems and seams, so that no

filling can fall out.

^Duvet covers and pillowcases should

be fastened in order to prevent small

items from rolling inside of them.

^Close zippers, hooks and eyelets.

^Tie up fabric belts and apron ties.

^Remove or sew up loose bra

under-wires.

2. Load the laundry

^Open the door.

2.1. Without the laundry basket

^Load the laundry loosely into the

drum.

Do not overload the drum.

Overloading strains the fabrics and

leads to poor drying results.

Use

2.2. With laundry basket

Reduce the load size to ½ of a

normal load.

Use the laundry basket to dry or air

e.g. sneakers.

The laundry basket is designed in such

a way that it does not turn with the drum

and avoids strain on the drying item.

^Hang the laundry basket in the

opening.

The laundry basket supports itself with

the bottom in the dryer and is held in

place with the front straps (arrows).

,Make sure no sleeves, ties,

belts, etc. stick out of the basket.

They might get entangled which

could damage the laundry basket

and the drum.

Drying with the laundry basket is

only possible with the programs

"45 min. warm" and "15 min. cold".

All other programs are not suitable

since the moisture sensor does not

recognize a load and cancels the

program.

Use

2.3. Close the door

,To prevent fabric damage,

check that laundry will not be caught

in the closed door.

The lint filter must always be

inserted in the door opening.

^Close the door with a firm swing and

push it closed.

3. Select a program

^Press the button of the desired

program.

– The respective program indicator

lights.

– "Options" indicators may be lit

(Memory function).
