READ AND SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk

of fire, electric shock or injury:

~The dryer is intended for drying

clothes washed in water. Only dry

clothes with a fabric care label stating it

is safe for tumble drying.

Other uses may be dangerous.

Technical Safety

~Check the packaging, the dryer and

accessories for any signs of damage.

Do not use a damaged appliance.

~Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the

data plate (fusing, voltage and

frequency) matches the mains

electrical supply. If in doubt contact an

electrician.

~The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity exists between the

machine and an effective grounding

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is imperative that

this basic safety requirement be met. If

there is any doubt, have the electrical

system of the house checked by a

qualified technician.

~Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electrical supply by an extension

cord. Extension cords do not guarantee

the required safety of the appliance

(e.g. danger of overheating).

~The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

Incorrectly repaired machines may

pose a considerable risk to the user.

Repairs should only be performed by a

Miele approved technician.

~Faulty components must only be

replaced with genuine Miele spare

parts. Only genuine Miele spare parts

can guarantee the safe operation of this

machine.

~A faulty power cord must be

replaced by a genuine Miele power

cord.

~Before maintenance or cleaning and

care disconnect the dryer from the

electrical supply pulling the plug or

tripping the circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

~Do not install a clothes dryer with

flexible plastic venting materials. If

flexible metal (foil type) duct is

installed, it must be of a specific type

identified by the manufacturer as

suitable for use with clothes dryers.

Flexible venting materials are known to

collapse, be easily crushed, and trap

lint. These conditions will obstruct

clothes dryer airflow and increase the

risk of fire.

~Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for

venting. Non-metallic flexible hose

should not be used, it is a potential fire

hazard.

~The appliance shall not be

exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a

ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a

concealed space of a building.

~The installation of this unit at 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.

~The dryer must not be used without

an exhaust duct.

~The dryer must not used without the

lint filter in place or with a damaged lint

filter.

~Check regularly on the exhaust

parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvered wall

vent, bends etc.) for air permeability.

Lint can collect and block the air flow.

If an exhaust hose is already installed, it

should be checked before connected

to the dryer.

~Danger of suffocation or

toxication Adequate ventilation is

essential, especially when 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. Allow sufficient room ventilation

by unlockable ventilation openings in

the wall.

Check with your building inspector for a

riskless use to avoid a low pressure of

4 Pa or more.

~Never connect an exhaust duct to

an active chimney, vent flue or room

venting ductwork. Danger of toxication

by draw back of exhaust fumes.

~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.

~Keep the area where the dryer is

installed free from lint, dust and dirt.

~Do not install the machine in rooms

where temperatures below freezing

may occur.

,WARNING - Risk of Fire

~To reduce the risk of severe injury or

death, follow all installation instructions.

~Clothes dryer installation must be

performed by a qualified installer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Install the clothes dryer according to

the manufacturer's instructions and

local codes.

~To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in

this dryer:

–items which have not been washed.

–items, such as work-wear, exposed

to grease, oils, or other deposits

(such as lotions or cosmetics) in your

dryer. If these items have not been

thoroughly cleaned there is a danger

that they may contribute to a

chemical reaction that could cause

the laundry to ignite when heated

even after being removed from the

dryer.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents

or other flammable or explosive

substances. They may give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

–items treated with flammable

cleaning agents or items containing

acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain

remover, wax or chemicals from

buffing, etc.

–items which have been splashed with

hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

When washing heavily soiled items

ensure that sufficient detergent is

used with a high temperature. If in

doubt wash the item several times.

–items containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

–items with padding or filling (e.g.

pillows or jackets) which have been

damaged. Loose filling could catch

fire.

~Do not lean on the door. The dryer

may tip over.

~Always close the door after use. to

prevent hazards. For example:

–children trying to climb into the dryer

or hide items in it.

–small pets climbing into the dryer.

~To protect the machine from rust

only use chloride-free cleaning and

disinfecting agents. Chloride may

cause corrosion.

Do not store chloride agents in close

proximity to the dryer. Fumes could

lead to rust damage.

Children

~Close supervision is necessary

when the appliance is used near

children. Do not allow children to play

on or in the appliance.

Before using for the first time

Fabric care labels

Before drying, check fabric care labels

for special drying instructions.

q= Drying with normal temperature

r= Drying with low temperature

s= Do not dry in a tumble dryer

Drying tips

–Observe the maximum loads, see the

"Programs guide".

Overloading the dryer will result in

poor drying and wrinkling.

– Do not place dripping wet items in

the dryer! Spin the laundry after the

wash for at least 30 seconds.

– Dry delicate fabrics with the fabric

care symbol rwith the "Low

temperature" option.

–Open jackets to allow even drying.

–Starched laundry can be dried in

the tumble dryer. The amount of

starch must be doubled during the

wash.

–Wash new, colored items before

drying for the first time and do not

dry with light-colored items. These

fabrics can "bleed" (also on plastic

parts of the dryer). Colored fluff may

also get on the light colored items.

–Wool and wool blends tend to felt

and shrink. Dry wool and wool

blends in the "Woollen handcare"

program.

–The fine fabric of down filled items

tend to shrink. Dry these items in the

"Smoothing" program.

–Dry pure linen items only if it is

recommended on the fabric care

label. The surface of the fabric may

become "rough". Dry these items in

the "Smoothing" program.

–Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and

underwear) tend to shrink when

washed and dried for the first time.

Do not overdry these fabrics.

–Permanent press and delicate

fabrics tend to crease more the

bigger the load size.

For better drying results reduce the

load size or select the "Shirts"

program.

Use

1. Sort the laundry

Loosen the washed laundry and sort by

desired dryness, fiber / fabric, size and

similar residual moisture after spinning

for even drying results.

,Do not dry items that may melt or

ignite in the dryer such as plastics,

rubber or sneakers. They could melt

and damage the laundry.

–Check hems and seams, so that no

filling can drop out.

–Comforter covers and pillowcases

should be fastened in order to

prevent small items from getting

trapped inside of them.

– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets.

– Tie fabric belts and apron ties.

– Remove or sew released bra

underwires.

2. Load the laundry

^Use the "Door" button to open the

drum door.

^Load the laundry loosely into the

drum.

Do not overload the drum.

Overloading strains the fabrics and

results in poor drying results.

To prevent fabric damage, check

that laundry is not caught in the

closed door. Do not use dryer

sheets in this dryer. Silicates

contained in these sheets could

cause the dryer to overheat.

^Close the door with a firm swing or

lean against the dryer and push it

closed.
