Contents

Read the operating instructions

before using this machine for the

first time. They contain important

information about the safety, use and

maintenance of the machine. Doing

so will prevent injury and damage to

the dryer.

Save these instructions and pass

them on to any future user.

WARNING - To reduce the risk

of fire, electric shock or injury:

Use

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. The

manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damage caused by

improper use of the appliance.

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. The manufacturer

cannot be held responsible for damage

which is the direct or indirect result of

incorrect installation or connection.

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

which are not covered by the

manufacturer. Repairs should only be

performed by a Miele approved

engineer.

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

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.
