To avoid the risk of accidents or

damage to the machine it is

essential to read these instructions

before it is installed, commissioned and

used for the first time.

M.-Nr. 06 511 430

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 that they

are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic 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 machine. Please do

not therefore dispose of it 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.

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.

–After every cycle remove the fluff

from the fluff filter in the door and in

the door opening (see "Cleaning and

Care").

–Check the condenser unit from time

to time and clean it when necessary.

Contents

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the machine 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 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 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 applications may be

dangerous. The manufacturer is not

liable for damage resulting from

improper use or operation.

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 (voltage and connected

load) match 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 it and an

effective earthing system which complies

with local and national regulations. It is

most important that this basic safety

requirement is present and regularly

tested, and where there is any doubt the

on-site wiring system should be

inspected by a qualified electrician. The

manufacturer cannot be held liable 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 of 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 liability.

Repairs should only be undertaken by a

Miele approved technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the

machine 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

machine be guaranteed.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation

by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

machine 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 machine guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

If the connection cable is faulty it

must only be replaced with a

genuine Miele connection cable.

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 fuse is withdrawn.

Operation

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as

ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk

assessment of the installation has been

carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

The dryer must not be used without

the condenser unit in place.

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 thoroughly

dried after cleaning. If they are

damp or wet when replaced there is a

risk of faults occurring when the

machine is used.

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

the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking

water. It can cause health

problems in both people and animals.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always keep the area around the

machine free of dust and fluff. Dust

drawn into the machine can over time

cause blockages in the condenser unit.

Do not install the machine in a

room where there is a risk of frost

occurring. At temperatures around

freezing point the machine 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.

To prevent the risk of fire the

following textiles must not be

dried in this machine:

– fabrics which contain a large

proportion of rubber, foam rubber or

rubber like materials.

– items which contain padding or

fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets).

–items which have been treated with

inflammable cleaning agents.

–items which have been splashed with

hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish

remover or similar substances.

–items which have been soiled with

oils or residues containing grease

(kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.).

–items soiled with wax or other

chemicals (e.g. mops and floor

cloths).

–items which have not been

thoroughly cleaned and which are

still soiled with grease or oil, e.g.

workwear. Such clothing may require

a heavy duty detergent to get them

clean. If necessary consult the

detergent manufacturer for advice.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the

door, as this can cause the

machine 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

For machines with stainless steel

surfaces:

The stainless steel surfaces must not

come into contact with liquid cleaning

and disinfecting agents which contain

chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These

agents can have a corrosive effect on

stainless steel.

Aggressive vapours containing chlorine

can also be corrosive.

Do not store containers of these agents

near the machine.

Safety with children

This machine is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow

children to play on or near it or to play

with the controls. Supervise its use by

the elderly or infirm, and supervise

children whilst you are operating the

machine.

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.

Disposal of your old machine

^Before discarding an old machine,

disconnect it from the mains supply,

or switch off at the wall socket and

unplug it.

^To prevent the risk of misuse, render

any plug useless and cut off the

cable directly behind the machine.

Make the door lock unusable.

This should be done by a competent

person.

^The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.
