damage.

All personnel working with this

machine must be fully trained in all

aspects of its use and safety.

Proper use of the dryer

,The dryer is only intended for

drying fabrics that were washed with

water as a cleaning agent.

~The dryer is only intended for drying

fabrics that were washed with water as

a cleaning agent. Check fabric care

labels to verify that the articles can be

machine dried.

"Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up

garments in a tumble dryer are

increasingly available on the market. If

using, do so at your own risk, and

follow the instructions provided on the

packaging.

Any other applications may be

dangerous.

~Persons who lack physical, sensory

or mental abilities, or experience with

the appliance should not use the

dishwasher without supervision or

instruction by a responsible person.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Do not let children play in, on or

near the dryer. Do not let them play with

the controls or operate the unit.

~If the dryer is operated in a publicly

accessible area, the operator must

ensure the safe use of the appliance.

Technical safety

~Before installation of the dryer,

check it for any externally visible

damage.

Do not install or use a damaged

appliance.

~Do not operate the appliance if the

control panel, wires or cables are

damaged.

~Do not damage, remove, or bypass

any of the safety features and controls

of the dryer.

~Do not operate the dryer when

housing parts have been removed and

the moving or electrical parts are

exposed and accessible.

~Do not make any alterations to the

dryer, unless authorized to do so by

Miele.

~Be certain this appliance is properly

installed and grounded by an

authorized technician. For electrical

safety this machine must be grounded

z. It is imperative that this basic safety

requirement be tested by a qualified

electrician. Consult a qualified

electrician if in doubt.

~Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

these operating instructions. Contact

Miele’s Technical Service Department

for assistance.

~Use only genuine Miele parts. Use

of non-Miele parts may impair

performance and void any guarantees.

~The dryer needs timely and

professional maintenance to prevent

performance loss, malfunctions and the

risk of fire.

~Before installation or service,

disconnect the power supply to the

work area.

~Repairs to electrical and gas

appliances should only be carried out

by a Miele Service Technician in

accordance with local and national

safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs

could cause injury or machine damage.

~The installation of this unit in non

stationary locations (e.g. ships) must be

performed by a qualified installer or

service agency, in strict accordance

with national and local safety

regulations and standards.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the

doors, as this can cause the dryer to

tip. Danger of injury.

~Always close the door after loading

or unloading the dryer, to prevent:

–children from climbing into the dryer,

or hiding small items in the dryer.

–small animals from climbing into the

dryer.

~Empty all pockets so that no

flammable items such as lighters,

matches, candles and cosmetics end

up in the dryer.

~Always make sure the drum is

stationary before reaching in to remove

laundry. Never put your hand into a

drum that is still moving.

~Take care not to pinch or cut your

fingers on the hinges of the drum door

or lint flap. Use the handles.

~The area necessary to open the

drum door completely must not be

obstructed by doors or other structures.

~Do not use a power washer to clean

the dryer.

~Keep the area around the exhaust

opening (toekick) and adjacent

surrounding areas free of lint, dust and

dirt.

~Operate the dryer only if an exhaust

air duct is connected and the room is

adequately ventilated.

~The ducting must not be connected

–a chimney or vent flue which is in

use,

–or to ducting which ventilates rooms

with fireplaces,

–or to chimneys being used by other

appliances.

Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause

poisoning.

~Check all parts of the extraction

system on a regular basis (e.g. wall

vent, external grille, bends in the

ducting etc.) and make sure they are all

free of any hindrance. A build-up of lint

will prevent a free flow of air through the

system. If the appliance is to be

connected to an existing ducting

system, this must be checked for

suitability beforehand.

~Do not operate the dryer in a room

where cleaning machines operate with

solvents containing CFC. Vapors from

combustion turn into hydrochloric acid

which damages laundry and dryer.

When operated in a separate room,

there must be no air exchange

possible. Make sure the dryer is

supplied with clean fresh air only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Adequate ventilation is essential to

avoid the danger of asphyxia and toxic

fumes where another appliance which

also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or

coal fired heater, continuous flow or

other water heater) is installed in the

same or an adjacent room.

To ensure safe operation, and to

prevent gases given off by these

appliances being drawn back into the

room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the

maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by:

–air inlets in the external wall which

cannot be closed or blocked, or

–by fitting a window contact switch

which ensures that the appliance

can only be operated when the

window is open.

If in doubt, contact Miele Technical Ser-

vice.

~When installing multiple dryers to

one collective exhaust duct, a

non-return flap per dryer must be

installed directly to the collective duct.

Otherwise the dryers could be

damaged and the electrical safety

affected.

~A build-up of lint will block the

airflow, heating and ventilation, which

will impair the efficiency of the dryer. Be

sure to clean the lint filter before or after

each load.

~Do not use the dryer without the

built-in lint filter in place. Fire hazard!

If the lint filter is damaged it must be

replaced immediately.

~The dryer must not be used without

the lint filters in place or if the lint filters

are damaged in any way. Damaged

filters can cause operational faults and

blockages in the airways, the heating

elements and in the ducting.

Fire hazard!

In the event of a damaged filter, turn

the appliance off and replace the filter

with a new one.

~Do not install the tumble dryer stack

in a room where there is a risk of frost

occurring. At temperatures around

freezing point the appliance may not be

able to operate properly.

The ambient room temperature should

be between +36°F (2°C) and +122°F

(50°C).

~The appliance is not intended for

outdoor use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in

this appliance:

–items which have not been washed.

–items, such as workwear, which have

not been thoroughly cleaned and

which are still soiled with grease, oil

or other substances (such as

cosmetics, lotions etc).

If items have not been thoroughly

cleaned there is a danger that these

might ignite when heated, even after

they have been removed from the

dryer at the end of the program.

–items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,

wax, wax remover, chemicals for

buffing (e.g. mops and floor cloths)

or other flammable or explosive

substances. They may give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

– items which have been spattered

with hair spray, nail polish remover or

similar substances.

~When washing such heavily soiled

items ensure that you use sufficient

detergent and select a high

temperature. If in doubt, wash the items

several times.

~To prevent the risk of fire, the

following articles or items must not be

dried in this dryer:

–items which have been cleaned

using chemicals (e.g. professional

dry-cleaning agents).

–fabrics which contain a large amount

of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like

materials. For example, products

made from latex, shower caps,

waterproof textiles, rubberized

articles, and items of clothing and

pillows with foam rubber filling, or

similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

– which contain padding or fillings

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were

damaged the filling could get out

with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~With sensitive fabrics there may be

a danger of them spontaneously

combusting if dried too long. Immedi-

ately remove the laundry at the end of

the drying program and after a power

failure.

Keep a fire extinguisher near the dryer.

The laundry must not be removed from

the dryer until the cooling down phase

has been completed.

If hot laundry items are stacked or

packed they could spontaneously

combust.

~Warning: Do not switch the

appliance off before the end of the

drying program. If this was done and

the laundry was then removed immedi-

ately it could give off a great amount of

heat.

~Fabric softrner and similar products

must be used according to the

instructions on the manufacturer's

packaging.

~Never use or store gasoline,

petroleum-based substances or other

easily flammable substances near the

machine. Fire and explosion hazard!

~Do not allow air contaminated with

chlorine, fluorine or other vapors

containing solvents to get into the

dryer. Fire hazard.

~Disinfection and cleaning agents

often contain chlorine compounds. If

these agents dry on stainless steel it

will cause it to rust. To protect the dryer

use only chlorine-free disinfection and

cleaning agents for laundering and

disinfecting, and for cleaning the

stainless steel surfaces. If in doubt

about a cleaning agent, contact the

manufacturer.

Aggressive vapors containing chlorine

can also be corrosive. Do not store

containers of these agents near the

appliance.

~Remove the door to the drying

compartment before the appliance is

removed for service or discarded

Accessories

~Only use genuine Miele original

spare parts and accessories with this

appliance. If spare parts or accessories

from other manufacturers are used, this

will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele

cannot accept liability.

Disposing of your old machine

~Before disposing of an old machine

it is important to disable the door lock.

This way you will prevent the risk of

children accidentally locking

themselves in and endangering their

lives.
