M.-Nr. 06 533 441 3

This machine must only be installed and commissioned

by a Miele authorised technician. In the U.K. gas heated

machines must be installed by a Corgi registered fitter

only.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the machine read the

operating instructions carefully before

using it for the first time. They contain

important information about the

installation, safety, use and maintenance

of the machine.

Keep these operating 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 usage

This dryer must only be used for drying

articles which were washed in water and

which have a care label stating that the

article is suitable for machine drying.

To prevent the risk of fire the following

te tiles must not be dried in this

machine:

– fabrics which contain a large proportion of

rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like

materials.

– 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 with padding which has been

damaged, e.g. pillows and jackets.

–items soiled with grease or oil which have

not been properly cleaned beforehand.

Use heavy-duty detergents where

necessary to clean very dirty garments,

e.g. workwear. If necessary consult the

detergent manufacturer for advice.

With sensitive fabrics there may be a

danger of them self igniting if dried for

too long. They should be removed as soon

as the programme has finished or if there is

a power cut.

Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine at

all times.

Do not unload laundry from the drum

after the cooling down phase has been

completed.

Hot laundry can self-ignite and cause a fire

when folded or put away.

Technical and electrical safety

The electrical safety of this machine can

only be guaranteed if connected to a

correctly installed earthing system on site. It

is most important that this basic safety

requirement is present and tested regularly,

and where there is any doubt, the on-site

electrical wiring 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).

The machine is only completely isolated

from the electricity supply either when it

is switched off at the isolator switch or the

mains fuse has been withdrawn.

Repairs to electrical and gas heated

machines may only be carried out by a

suitably qualified and competent person in

accordance with local and national safety

regulations. Repairs to gas heated machines

in the UK must only be carried out by a

"Corgi" registered technician. Repairs and

other work by unqualified persons could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be

held liable for unauthorised work.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

4 M.-Nr. 06 533 441

This machine must not be operated in

the same room as dry cleaning

machines which use solvents containing

chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Escaping

vapours break down during combustion into

hydrochloric acid which can have a

detrimental

effect on both the laundry and the machine.

These machines should be installed in

separate rooms and there must be no

exchange of air between them.

The dryer must have a constant supply

of fresh air. Vapours containing chlorine,

fluorine or other solvents must not be able to

reach the dryer.

The ventilation inlets to the dryer are

located at the back of the machine.

These must not be blocked or hindered in

any way. Do not cover the machine lid with

cloths or similar items.

Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily

flammable liquid must not be stored or

used near the machine. Fire and e plosion

risk!

To ensure the correct performance of the

machine and to prevent the risk of faults

and fire risk it is important to check the

machine and carry out maintenance on a

regular basis.

Use

This machine must only be used when it

is connected to a suitable ducting

system. The installation site must be

adequately ventilated.

This machine is not a toy! To avoid the

risk of injury never allow children to play

on or near the machine, or to operate it

themselves.

Do not use a machine with damaged

controls or cables. These must be

repaired before it is used again.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the

safety features, fixtures and control

elements of this machine.

Any removable outer panels must be

back in place, and all moving or

electrical parts shielded before the machine

is switched on.

To prevent the risk of injury or scalding,

components carrying steam must not be

touched.

Always make sure that the drum is

stationary before reaching into the

machine to remove laundry.

Never use the machine without the fluff

filter. Fire risk!

A damaged filter must be replaced before

the machine is used again.

Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage

in the airways and the correct functioning of

the machine cannot be assured.

Cleaning and disinfecting agents often

contain chlorine based substances. Do

not let such agents come into contact with

the stainless steel surfaces, as the chlorine

can have a corrosive effect and cause rust.

Use chlorine-free agents for washing and

disinfecting and also for cleaning stainless

steel surfaces to protect them from

corrosion. If in doubt, confirm with the

manufacturer that their product is suitable. If

any agent containing chlorine comes into

contact with the stainless steel surfaces,

wipe it away immediately with clean water.

Then dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use a high pressure cleaner or

hose to clean the machine.

Warning and Safety instructions

M.-Nr. 06 533 441 5

Gas heated dryers

The gas mains connection and the gas

connection to the machine should be

switched off for all cleaning and

maintenance work and in the event of a fault.

Safety precautions to take if you smell

gas

–Turn off the gas emergency control valve

immediately. (Usually located near the gas

meter).

–Eliminate all sources of ignition in a safe

manner. Do not smoke, light cigarette

lighters or matches.

–Do not operate electrical lights or

switches, either "On" or "Off".

–Open all doors and windows to ventilate

the area.

– If the smell of gas persists, evacuate the

building.

You must now:

– In the U.K. call TRANSCO (0 800 111 999)

– Arrange for an appointment of a Corgi

registered gas installer to visit the site

(Talking pages 0 800 600 900)

In other countries please follow relevant

country specific procedures.

Warning: After installation, maintenance,

conversion, repairs and before using for the

first time it is essential that a test for possible

leakages is carried out. All components

which carry gas must be checked, including

the gas valve and burner jets.

In the U.K. this must be carried out by a

Corgi registered technician.

Particular attention must be paid to the test

nipple on the gas valve.

Testing must be carried out with the burner

switched on and switched off.

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 disposing of an old machine, first

make the door lock unusable. This way

you will prevent children from accidentally

locking themselves in and endangering their

lives.

Keep these instructions in a safe and

accessible place.

Warning and Safety instructions

6 M.-Nr. 06 533 441

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. Packaging e.g. cling

film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must

be 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 recycled.

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.
