Disposing 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 they are

recycled.

Disposing of your old

appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

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 appliance.

Please do not dispose of it with your

general waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection/recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for 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 in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Remove the fluff from the filter when

necessary (see "Cleaning and Care").

– Check all parts of the ventilation

system on a regular basis, and

remove any build-up of fluff etc.

The vent ducting should be as short,

straight and smooth as possible to

minimise any resistance to the air

throughflow.

~It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer conforms to 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 they are

made available to new users. They must be made aware of these

Warning and Safety instructions.

Pass these instructions on to any future users/owners.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

~This tumble dryer is designed for domestic use and for use in

similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &

breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include

common/shared facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

~This tumble dryer is only intended for drying fabrics which have

been washed in a water solution, and 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. Miele cannot be held

liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or

operation.

~This tumble dryer is not intended for use by people with reduced

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

knowledge, unless they are are supervised whilst using it or have

been shown how to use it by a person responsible for their safety.

~The tumble dryer is not suitable for outdoor use.

~This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

~Older children may use the tumble dryer only when its operation

has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it

safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

~Young children must not be allowed to use this tumble dryer.

~Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the tumble dryer. Keep children away from the tumble dryer at

all times to avoid the risk of injury.

~Danger of suffocation! Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene and

young children. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon

as possible.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

~Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally

visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

~Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data

on the data plate (voltage and rated 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 safety 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 tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by

an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required

safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

~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. If this is not

done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the warranty.

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

spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety

standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.

~If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a

Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions

~In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine must

be disconnected from the electricity supply. It 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.

~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance in a

clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

~To ensure the correct performance of the appliance and to

prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry

out maintenance on a regular basis.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

,Caution! Risk of fire.

To avoid the possible danger of fire please red these warnings carefully.

,A clogged filter is a hazard! The lint filter must be cleaned after

removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.

–items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,

acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
