Warranty Information
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Sorting Laundry: Separate laundry by required drying level, fabric type, size, and moisture content for even results. Remove objects from pockets, check seams, fasten zips, and tie loose items.
Switching On: Press the power button to switch the dryer on. Energy can be saved by switching on after loading.
Loading: Open the door using the 'Door' button. Load laundry loosely into the drum, avoiding overloading. Ensure the fluff filter is correctly positioned and the laundry is not trapped when closing the door.
Selecting Programme: Turn the programme selector to the desired programme. Indicator lights show the selected programme. Drying levels can be adjusted for some programmes.
Starting: Press the 'Start/Stop' button. The indicator light will flash and then remain constant when the programme starts.
During Drying: The display shows programme duration, sequence, drying, cooling down, and finish. 'Perfect Dry' light indicates residual moisture measurement. Estimated time remaining can change.
End of Programme: '0' and 'Finish' will appear, and the buzzer will sound. The drum may continue to rotate to reduce creasing. Remove laundry promptly. Switch off the dryer using the power button. Clean fluff filters and empty the condensed water container.
