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

or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /

machines 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 or machine. Therefore,

please do not dispose of your old

machine or 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 the

appliance or the machine to prevent

misuse.

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.

~It is essential to read these

instructions.

This tumble dryer conforms to

current safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can, however,

lead to personal injury and damage

to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the tumble dryer, please

read these instructions carefully

before using it for the first time. They

contain important information on its

safety, installation, use and

maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and ensure that new users are

familiar with the content. Pass them

on to any future owner.

Correct application

~This tumble dryer must only be used

for domestic purposes to dry items

which have been washed in a water

solution and which are marked on the

manufacturer's care label as being

suitable for tumble drying. "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 usage is not supported by

the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable

for damage resulting from incorrect or

improper use or operation of the tumble

dryer.

~This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of

experience or knowledge, unless they

are supervised whilst using it or have

been shown how to use it correctly by a

person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~Keep children away from the tumble

dryer at all times. It is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury do not allow

them to play on or near it or to play with

its controls. Supervise children whilst

you are using it.

~Older children may only use it if its

operation has been clearly explained to

them, and they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of incorrect

use.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~Before setting up the tumble dryer,

check it for any externally visible

damage.

Do not install or use a damaged tumble

dryer.

~Before connecting the tumble dryer,

ensure that the connection data on the

data plate (voltage and connected

load) match the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a

qualified electrician.

~The electrical safety of this tumble

dryer can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between it and

an effective earthing system which

complies with current local and national

safety regulations. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is

present and regularly tested, and

where there is any doubt, the

household wiring system should be

inspected by a qualified electrician.

Miele cannot be held liable for the

consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~Do not connect the tumble dryer to

the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

tumble dryer (e.g. danger of

overheating).

~Unauthorised repairs could result in

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which Miele cannot accept liability.

Repairs should only be undertaken by a

Miele approved service technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

tumble dryer until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

~Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. Only when these parts are

fitted can the safety standards of the

tumble dryer be guaranteed.

~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 tumble dryer 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 fuse is disconnected, or

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

~This tumble dryer may only be used

in mobile installations such as ships if a

risk assessment of the installation has

been carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

~In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other

vermin, pay particular attention to

keeping the tumble dryer 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 warranty.

~Do not make any alterations to the

tumble dryer, unless authorised to do

so by Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

,To avoid the possible danger of

fire, please read these warnings

carefully.

,A clogged filter is a fire hazard!

The fluff filter must be cleaned after

every programme.

~Remove all objects from pockets

such as lighters and matches.

~To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in

this tumble dryer:

– 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 desposits (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 programme.

–Items that have been soiled with

substances such as cooking oil,

acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot

removers, turpentine, waxes, wax

removers and other chemicals (e.g.

mops and floor cloths) should be

washed in hot water with extra

detergent before being dried in the

tumble dryer.

–Items which have been splashed

with hair lacquer, 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.

~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.

Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected

items can prevent heat from escaping

and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics

contaminated with vegetable or

cooking oil, or 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

~To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles or products must not

be dried in this tumble dryer:

–Items which have been dry-cleaned

(for example with a chemical

treatment).

–Fabrics which contain a large

proportion of rubber, foam rubber or

rubber-like materials. For example,

products made from latex foam

rubber, shower caps, waterproof

textiles, rubberised articles and items

of clothing and pillows with foam

rubber filling.

– Fabrics 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.

~In many programmes, the heating

phase is followed by a cooling down

phase to ensure that the items are not

too hot to handle when you remove

them (this also avoids the danger of the

laundry self-igniting). The programme is

not finished until the cooling down

phase is complete.

Ensure that you always wait until the

end of the programme before removing

the laundry.

~Warning: Do not switch the tumble

dryer off before the end of the drying

programme. If this was done and the

laundry was then removed immediately,

it could give off a great amount of heat.

~Fabric conditioner and similar

products must be used according to

the instructions on the manufacturer's

packaging.

Warning and Safety instructions

~The dryer must not be used without

the fluff filters in place or if the fluff

filters are damaged in any way.

~The fluff filters must be cleaned

regularly.

~The dryer must not be used without

the condenser unit in place.

~The fluff filters must be thoroughly

dried after cleaning. Damp or wet filters

could cause operational faults.

~Do not install the tumble dryer in a

room where there is a risk of frost

occurring. At temperatures around

freezing point the tumble dryer may not

be able to operate properly.

There is a risk of damage if the

condensed water is allowed to freeze in

the pump, hoses and / or condensed

water container.

The ambient room temperature should

be between +2°C and +35°C.

~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

tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust

drawn into the tumble dryer can cause

blockages in the condenser unit over

time.

~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the

door, as this can cause the tumble

dryer to tip up.

~Always close the door after use. This

way you will avoid the danger of:

–Children climbing onto or into the

dryer or hiding things in it.

– Pets or other small animals climbing

into it.

~The tumble dryer must not be hosed

down.

Accessories

~Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance.

If non-Miele parts are used, warranty,

performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.

Miele cannot be held liable for

damage caused by non-compliance

with these Warning and Safety

instructions.
