clicks into position.
ĺ Close the door.
Cleaning the fluff filters and air flow
openings thoroughly
If the drying duration has become longer
or the surface of the filters is visibly
compacted with fluff, you should carry out
the following cleaning procedure.
ĺ Pull the upper fluff filter forward to remove
it.
ĺ Turn the yellow
dial on the lower
fluff filter in the

Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum recommended loads given in the
Programme chart.
Overloading can cause unnecessary wear and tear to the
laundry. It can give a disappointing drying result and cause more
creasing.
– Do not load the drum with items that are still soaking wet. Make
sure your laundry is spun at the maximum spin speed in the
washing machine before drying.
– Minimum iron fabric tends to crease more, the larger the load.
This is particularly the case for garments made from very fine
weave fabric, such as shirts or blouses.
Plinth filter
Only clean the plinth filter when the
indicator lights up.
To turn the indicator light off: Open and
close the door while the dryer is switched
on.
ĺ Press the round,
indented area on
the heat
exchanger access
panel to open it.
The panel will
spring open.
ĺ Pull the plinth filter
out by the handle.
Removing the plinth filter will cause a
guide pin in the dryer to come out. This pin
ensures that the heat exchanger access
panel can only be closed if the plinth filter is
fitted.
ĺ Pull the handle
out of the plinth
filter.
ĺ Clean the filter
thoroughly under
running water.
ĺ Carefully squeeze the water out of the
plinth filter.
The plinth filter must not be replaced
dripping wet.
ĺ Use a damp
cloth to remove
any fluff from the
access panel.
Checking the heat exchanger unit
ɒRisk of injury from sharp cooling fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins.
ĺ Carefully vacuum
up any visible fluff
or dirt.
Refitting the plinth filter
ĺ Fit the filter back
on the handle the
right way.
ĺ Insert the handle
with the plinth fil-
ter attached over
the two guide
pins.
The word Miele on the handle must be the
correct way up.
ĺ Close the heat exchanger access panel.

ĺ Touch a sensor to switch on the indicators.
See "Programmable functions - Control panel standby
status" in the operating instructions.
The drum will turn at intervals in the Anti-crease phase.
Problem/Fault message Possible cause and remedy
The dryer is switched
off at the end of the
programme
The tumble dryer switches off automatically. This is not a
fault, but a normal function.
The laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry
The load consisted of different types of fabric.
ĺ Finish drying using the Warm air timed drying programme.
ĺ Select a more suitable programme next time.
Tip: You can alter the drying levels for some programmes.
See "Programmable functions - Cotton drying levels" and
"Minimum iron drying levels" in the operating
instructions.
Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying
Synthetic fibres tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding fabric softener to
the final rinse in the washing programme.
There is a build-up of
fluff
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are
being worn and to some extent when they are being washed.
Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form.
Fluff is collected by the fluff filters and the plinth filter and can
be removed easily.
See "Cleaning and care".
There are humming
noises
This is not a fault.
These noises are normal and caused by the operation of the
compressor.
