Installation, repair and maintenance work

should be performed by a Miele

authorized service technician. Work by

unqualified persons could be dangerous

and may void the warranty.

Read all instructions before installation or

use of the tumble dryer to prevent injury

and machine damage.

All personnel working with this machine

must be fully trained in all aspects of its

use and safety.

The tumble dryer is only intended for

drying fabrics washed in a water solution.

Check fabric care labels to verify

materials can be machine dried.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND

REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

To prevent fires, do not use this

tumb e dryer to dry the fo owing:

–Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or

rubber like materials.

–Articles which have been treated with

flammable cleaning agents.

–Articles which have been splashed with

hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

–Clothing which may be greasy, oily or

saturated with other residues.

Do not dry mops, floor cloths, etc. in this

machine if they contain substances such

as wax or chemical cleaning agents.

Padded or filled fabrics (e.g. jackets or

cushions) that are damaged should not

be dried. Loose filling could catch fire.

Some fabrics get very hot during drying

and there may be a risk of high

temperatures causing them to ignite in

extreme circumstances. They should be

taken out of the machine as soon as the

program has finished and as soon as

possible if there has been a power failure. It

is advisable to keep a fire extinguisher near

the machine at all times.

Laundry must not be removed from the

dryer before the drying program has

finished, i.e., the coo ing down phase must

be comp eted.

If hot laundry items are stacked or packed

they may spontaneously combust.

Do not let children play in or near the

machine. Do not let them play with the

controls or operate the unit.

Make sure the drum is stationary before

removing laundry. Never put your hand

into a drum that is still moving.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use the dryer only if all housing parts are

installed and no hazard of electrical or

moving parts exists.

The air intake opening is located to the

rear of the machine. Do not cover the

opening under any circumstances.

Fire and Exp osion hazard

Never use or store gas, gasoline based

substances or any easily flammable

substances near the machine.

Fire hazard

Do not use the machine without the lint

filter in place. If the lint filter is damaged it

must be replaced immediately.

Clean the lint filter regularly. A build up of

lint could block the airflow, heating and

ventilation. This may impair the efficiency of

the machine.

Keep the area around the air intake

(toekick) and adjacent surrounding areas

free from lint, dust and dirt.

Disinfecting and cleaning agents often

contain chlorides (salts) that can cause

steel surfaces to rust. To protect your

machine from rust damage, only use

chloride free disinfecting and cleaning

agents for laundry, disinfection and cleaning

of the machine. If you are not sure about a

particular agent contact Miele’s Professional

Division.

If you accidentally spill an agent containing

chloride on the machine it should be rinsed

off with water and dried with a soft cloth.

If there is any damage to the controls or

to the cable insulation, the machine must

not be used until it has been repaired.

Ensure that only fresh air is drawn into

the machine and that it does not contain

chlorine, fluoride or solvent fumes.

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation

for operation in the room where it is

installed.

Do not use a high-pressure c eaner or

water jet to clean the machine.

Caution

If the tumble dryer shuts off during the

drying cycle, without a fault indicator

lighting, a temperature limiter has activated.

Check the seals and locks on the machine

door and the lint filter.

Check the condition of the air inlet and air

outlet vents. If no damage is evident to any

of the parts checked, the dryer can be

restarted.

If the fault occurs again, call the Miele

Technical Service Department.

scratches and dents.

– Items with zippers should be dried with

the zippers open.
