M.-Nr. 06 086 650

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags etc. are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of your

appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected

from the mains electricity supply by a

competent person. The plug must be

rendered useless and the cable cut off

directly behind it to prevent misuse.

See the "Warning and Safety" section of

this booklet for further details.

Energy saving tips

To avoid unnecessarily long drying

times and high consumption of energy:

–Make sure that your laundry is

thoroughly spun before drying.

The higher the spin, the greater the

savings that can be made in energy

and time during drying.

– Load according to the optimum

amount of laundry recommended for

the programme being used (see

Programme chart).

Underloading is uneconomical.

Overloading gives a poorer quality of

drying and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

–Make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

–Make sure the fluff filters are clean

before using the dryer.

–Check the condenser unit from time

to time and clean it when necessary.

Contents

Read the operating instructions

carefully before using this appliance

for the first time. They contain

important information about the

safety, use and maintenance of the

appliance. This way you will avoid

the risk of accidents and damage to

the appliance.

Keep these operating instructions in

a safe place and ensure that new

users are familiar with the content.

Pass them on to any future owner of

the machine.

Correct use

The tumble dryer is only intended

for drying fabrics which have been

washed in a water solution, marked on

the manufacturer’s wash care label as

being suitable for tumble drying.

Any other applications may be

dangerous. The manufacturer is not

liable for damage resulting from

improper use or operation.

This appliance is not intended for

use by young children or infirm

persons unless they have been

adequately supervised by a

responsible person to ensure that they

can use the appliance safely.

Young children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine

check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install or use a

damaged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and

frequency) matches the mains

electricity supply. If in any doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this

machine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the appliance and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

regularly tested by a qualified

electrician. The manufacturer cannot be

held responsible for the consequences

of an inadequate earthing system (e.g.

electric shock).

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

machine (e.g. danger or overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which the manufacturer cannot accept

responsibility. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved

engineer.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance while maintenance or repair

work is being carried out.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fitted

can the safety standards of the

machine be guaranteed.

Warning and Safety instructions

If the appliance is supplied from a

cord extension set or electrical

portable outlet device the cord

extension set or electrical portable

outlet device should be positioned so it

is not subject to splashing or ingress of

moisture.

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician to protect

the user from danger.

In the event of a fault or for

cleaning purposes, the machine is

only completely isolated from the

electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn, or

– it is switched off at the mains, or

– the mains plug is withdrawn.

Operation

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft

etc. However it may be suitable for

such usage subject to a risk

assessment of the installation being

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

The dryer must not be used without

the fluff filters in place or if the fluff

filters are damaged in any way.

The dryer must not be used without

the condenser unit in place.

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may

drop down to or below freezing. At very

cold temperatures the machine may be

difficult to start.

There is a risk of damage if the

condensed water is allowed to freeze in

the pump, hoses and / or condensed

water container.

If the water is drained externally

through the drain hose instead of

being collected in the condensed water

container, make sure the drain hose is

securely attached if you hang it in a

sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping

and the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health

problems in both people and animals.

Always keep the area around the

machine free of dust and fluff.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always close the door after use.

This way you will avoid the danger

of:

–anyone sitting or leaning on the door,

which can cause the machine to tip

up,

–children climbing onto or into the

dryer or hiding things in it.

There is danger of fire with fabrics

which:

–contain a large proportion of rubber,

foam rubber or rubber like materials.

– have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents.

– have been splashed with hair

lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish

remover or similar substances.

– which contain padding or fillings

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

damaged the filling could leak with

the risk of igniting in the dryer.

–are soiled with oil or grease.

In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other

vermin, pay particular attention to

keeping the appliance and its

surroundings in a clean condition at all

times. Any damage which may be

caused by cockroaches or other vermin

will not be covered by the appliance

guarantee.

To minimize the risk of fire in a

tumble dryer, the following

should be observed:

–Items that have been spotted or

soaked with vegetable or cooking oil

constitute a fire hazard and should

not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite

spontaneously, especially when

exposed to heat sources such as in a

tumble dryer. The items become

warm, causing an oxidation reaction

in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If

the heat cannot escape, the items

can become hot enough to catch

fire. Pilling, stacking or storing

oil-affected items can prevent heat

from escaping and so create a fire

hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that

contain vegetable or cooking oil or

have been contaminated by hair care

products be placed in a tumble dryer

they should first be washed in hot

water with extra detergent - this will

reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

The "cool down" cycle of tumble

dryers should be used to reduce the

temperature of the items. They

should not be removed from the

tumble dryer or piled or stacked

while hot.

Warning and Safety instructions

–Items that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or

spotted with petrol/gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents or other

flammable or explosive substances

should not be placed in a tumble

dryer.

Highly flammable substances

commonly used in a domestic

environments include acetone,

denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,

kerosene, spot removers (some

brands), turpentine, waxes and wax

removers.

– Items containing foam rubber (also

known as latex foam) or similarly

textured rubber like materials should

not be dried in a tumble dryer on a

heat setting.

Foam rubber materials can, when

heated, produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

– Fabric softeners or similar products

should not be used in a tumble dryer

to eliminate the effects of static

electricity unless this practice is

specifically recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or

product.

–Undergarments that contain metal

reinforcements should not be placed

in a tumble dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can

result if metal reinforcements come

loose during drying. When available

a drying rack could be used for such

items.

–Plastic articles such as shower caps

or babies’ waterproof napkin covers

should not be placed in a tumble

dryer.

–Rubber-backed articles, clothes

fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,

galoshes and rubber-coated tennis

shoes should not be placed in a

tumble dryer.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele.

If other parts are used, guarantee,

performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.
