Problem/Fault message Possible cause and solution
The tumble dryer is
switched off at the end
of the program.
The dryer switches off automatically to save energy.
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 Time Dry program.
ĺ Select a more suitable program next time.
Useful tip: You can alter the drying levels for some
programs. See "Programmable functions", sections "P01
Drying levels Normal" and "P02 Drying levels Wrinkle-free" in
the Operating Instructions..
Items made of synthetic
fibers are charged with
static electricity after
drying
Synthetic fibers tend to attract static charge.
Static charge can be reduced by adding a fabric softener to
the final rinse in the washing program.
There is a build-up of
lint
Lint 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 lint to form.
Lint is collected by the lint and plinth filter and can be
removed easily.
See "Cleaning and care".
You can hear operating
noises (buzzing/hum-
ming)
This is not a fault. The compressor (heat pump) is operating
or you have selected the SoftSteam program.
No action required. These noises are quite normal and can
be heard when the compressor or the condensed water
pump is operating.

Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum recom-
mended load for each program (see Pro- gram guide).
寿Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a dis- appointing drying result and cause more creasing.
– Do not load the drum with items that are
still soaking wet. Make sure your laun- dry is spun at the maximum spin speed before drying.
– Minimum iron fabric tends to crease
more, the larger the load. This is partic- ularly the case for garments made from very fine weave fabric, such as dress shirts or blouses.
Lint filters
Removing visible lint
Clean both lint filters in the door opening
after every drying cycle.
寿Remove the fragrance flacon (if fitted).
ĺ Pull the upper lint
filter forward to
remove it.
ĺ Use your fin-
gers or a vac-
uum cleaner to
remove the lint
from the surface
of the filter.
ĺ Push the upper lint filter back into posi-
tion until it clicks.
ĺ Close the door.
Cleaning the lint filters and air flow
openings thoroughly
If the drying duration has become longer
or the surface of the filters is visibly com-
pacted with lint, you should carry out the
following cleaning procedure.
ĺ Pull the upper lint filter forward to remove
it.
ĺ Turn the yellow
dial on the lower
lint filter in the
direction of the
arrow (until you
hear it click).
ĺ Hold the dial and
pull the lint filter
forward to
remove it.
ĺ Use a vacuum
cleaner to
remove any
visible lint from
the upper air flow
openings.
ĺ Flush the lint filters through with warm
running water.
ĺ Shake out the lint filters thoroughly and
then dry them carefully.
寿Ensure the filters are dry before replac-
ing them.
ĺ Refit all of the lint filters and close the
door.
Plinth filter
Only clean the plinth filter whenever the 
indicator light comes on.
To turn the message 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 access panel
will spring open.
ĺ Pull the plinth filter
out by the handle.
A guide pin in the dryer will come out which
prevents the access panel from closing with-
out the plinth filter.
ĺ Pull the handle
out of the plinth
filter.
ĺ Clean the filter
thoroughly under
running water.
ĺ Squeeze the water out of the plinth filter
thoroughly.
寿The plinth filter must not be replaced
dripping wet.
ĺ Use a damp cloth
to remove any
lint.
Checking the heat exchanger unit
寿Danger of injury! Do not touch the
cooling fins with your hands. You could cut
yourself.
ĺ Carefully vacuum
up any visible fluff
or dirt.
Refitting the plinth filter
ĺ Fit the filter back
on the handle.
Make sure it is the
correct way
round.
ĺ First insert the
handle with the
plinth filter
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.
