Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

The packaging is designed to protect

the appliance from damage during

transportation. The packaging materials

used are selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the

use of raw materials in the

manufacturing process and also

reduces the amount of waste in landfill

sites.

Disposing of your old

appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain valuable materials. They

also contain specific materials,

compounds and components, which

were essential for their correct function

and safety. These could be hazardous

to human health and to the environment

if disposed of with your domestic waste

or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre for electrical and electronic

appliances, or contact your dealer or

Miele for advice. You are also

responsible (by law, depending on

country) for deleting any personal data

that may be stored on the appliance

being disposed of. Please ensure that

your old appliance poses no risk to

children while being stored prior to

disposal.

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.

Underloading is uneconomical.

Overloading gives a poorer quality of

drying and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

– Make sure the room temperature is

not too high. If there are other heat

producing appliances in the room in

which the dryer is located, make sure

the room is well ventilated and switch

the other appliances off, if possible.

– Clean the fluff filters in the door

opening after every drying cycle.

Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with 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 is intended for use in domestic households and

similar working and residential environments.

 This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

 It must be used only as a domestic appliance 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. If

using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the

instructions provided on the packaging.

Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held

liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or

operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or

knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown

how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the

consequences of incorrect operation.

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble

dryer unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer

unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and

recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble

dryer unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do

not let them play with it.

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 (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the

mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified

electrician.

 Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be

assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

 The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety

requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring

system tested 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat

and are a fire hazard.

 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from

danger.

 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, otherwise any

subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety

of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

 The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).

 Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised

to do so by Miele.

 Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is

condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the

heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying

air takes place.

– The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying

process are normal and do not impair the efficient functioning of

the dryer.

– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

length of time after it has been installed provided it has been

transported correctly (see "Installation and connection").

If it has not been transported as described, ensure that the

recommended standing time prior to first operation is observed.

Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.

– This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gas).

They are hermetically sealed.

Designation of refrigerant: R134a

Amount of refrigerant: 0.57 kg

Global warming potential of refrigerant: 1430 kg CO2 e

Global warming potential of appliance: 815 kg CO2 e

Warning and Safety instructions

 Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

and the "Technical data".

 The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to

disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.

 Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and

the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a

sufficient flow of air to the dryer.

 Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after

installation.

 This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with

particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical

resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp

must only be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable

for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele

authorised person or the Miele Service Department.

Correct use

 The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 8.0 kg (dry weight).

The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are

given in the Programme chart.

 To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a

controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device).

If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling

down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.
