Warning and safety instructions

Please read the operating instruc-

tions before using the tumble dryer

for the first time. They contain im-

portant information about the safety,

use and maintenance of the ma-

chine. This way you will avoid the

risk of accidents and damage to 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 use

The tumble dryer is only intended

for drying fabrics which have been

washed in a water solution, marked on

the manufacturer’s wash care label as

being suitable for tumble drying.

Any other applications may be dan-

gerous. The manufacturer is not liable

for damage resulting from improper

use or operation.

Do not let small children play with the

machine or its controls. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine

check it for any externally visible

damage. Do not install or use a dam-

aged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on

the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-

quency) matches the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-

fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this ma-

chine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

the appliance and an effective earthing

system which complies with local and

national regulations. It is most import-

ant that this basic safety requirement is

regularly tested by a qualified electri-

can.

The manufacturer cannot be held re-

sponsible for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-

tric shock).

Do not connect the machine to the

mains electricity supply by an ex-

tension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the

machine (e.g. danger or overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements.

Unauthorised repairs could result in un-

foreseen dangers for the user, for

which the manufacturer cannot accept

responsibility. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved engin-

eer.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare

parts. Only when these parts are fitted

can the safety standards of the ma-

chine be guaranteed.

Warning and safety instructions

In the event of a fault or for clean-

ing purposes, the machine is only

completely isolated from the electricity

supply either when:

– it is switched off at the mains or

– the mains fuse is withdrawn.

Adequate ventilation is essential,

especially where another ap-

pliance which also uses the room air

(e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, con-

tinuous flow or other water heater), is in-

stalled in the same or an adjacent

room. To ensure safe operation, and to

prevent gases being given off by these

appliances being drawn back into the

room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the

maximum permissible. Ventilation can

be maintained by air inlets which can-

not be blocked, in windows, doors and

outside wall vents, or by an automatic

window opening arrangement when the

tumble dryer is switched on.

If in any doubt, the advice of a compe-

tent builder, or for gas, a "Corgi" regis-

tered installer (in the UK) must be

sought.

Vented dryers must be installed

with a suitable venting system. If

the machine is not correctly ducted it

will draw damp exhaust air back into

the drum, increasing running time and

energy consumption quite consider-

ably. If moist air is passed back into

the room this may lead to long-term

damage of walls.

The exhaust air must not be

vented into a chimney or vent flue

which is in use. Neither should it be

connected to ducting which ventilates

rooms with fireplaces. It would be dan-

gerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were

drawn back into the room.

Always close the door after use.

This way you will avoid the danger

of:

– anyone sitting or leaning on the

door, which can cause the machine

to tip up.

– children climbing onto or into the

dryer or hiding things in it.

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may

drop below freezing. At very cold tem-

peratures the machine may be difficult

to start. Laundry will not dry, and the se-

quence indicator light ~ r Anti-

crease/End will flash to indicate a problem.

Warning and safety instructions

There is a danger of fire with fab-

rics which:

– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-

ber like materials

– have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents

– have been splashed with hair lac-

quer, hair spray, nail varnish

remover or similar substances

– which contain padding or fillings

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were

damaged the filling could get out

with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

Avoid contact of stainless steel sur-

faces (front, lid, casing) with liquid

cleaning and disinfecting agents which

contain chlorine or sodium hypo-

chlorite. These agents can have a cor-

rosive effect on stainless steel. Ag-

gressive vapours containing chlorine

bleach can also be corrosive. Do not

store open containers or these agents

near the machine.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by

Miele. If other parts are used, guaran-

tee, performance and product liability

claims may be invalidated.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine

unplug it and render the plug use-

less. Cut off the cable directly behind

the appliance to prevent misuse.

Warning and safety instructions

Help to protect the environment

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.

Rather than just throwing these ma-

terials away, please ensure they are of-

fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Old machines contain materials which

can be reclaimed or recycled. Please

contact your dealer, your local waste

collection centre or scrap merchant

about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the machine presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

Energy saving tips

Make sure that your laundry is thor-

oughly spun before drying. You will

save up to 30% energy and time if

laundry is spun at 1200 rpm instead

of at 600 rpm.

Load according to the optimum

amount of washing recommended

for the programme being used.

Underloading is uneconomical. Over-

loading gives a poorer quality of

drying and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

To save energy and time:

– make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-

fore using the dryer.

The vent ducting should be as short,

straight and smooth as possible. Ex-

pelled air is slowed down in the vent

duct due to friction against the inner

walls of the ducting, therefore the

shorter the duct and the smoother

the inner walls, the less friction oc-

curs which in turns saves drying time

and energy costs.

same time slot into the upper guide.

Use of the appliance

This automatic tumble dryer is particu-

larly suitable for use in communal

laundry rooms, laundrettes etc. where

considerable amounts of soiled laundry

are dealt with.

Guide to the machine

Preparation of laundry

Wash care labels

Before drying check the drying

symbol on the wash care label.

Significance of symbols:

q= Dry at normal temperature

r= Dry at low temperature

s= Do not tumble dry

If no symbol is featured dry at your own

risk applying the following principles:

Cottons and minimum iron items

should be dried at a normal tempera-

ture using the appropriate programme

setting.

Delicate fabrics with the following

wash care label r, e.g. acrylics should

be dried at a low temperature.

The following fabrics should

not be dried in a tumble dryer:

Woollens and wool blends

these fabrics tend to become matted

and shrink.

Items filled with down

the fine fabric interior tends to shrink,

depending on the quality involved.

Pure linen

should only be machine dried if speci-

fied as suitable by the manufacturer on

the wash care label, as the surface of

the fabric may otherwise tend to

roughen.

General notes

Woven and loopkit materials (e.g. T-

Shirts, knitted garments) tend to shrink

to varying extents depending on their

quality. This tendency is exaggerated

by over-drying. When purchasing

woven materials, it is advisable to take

their shrinkage properties into account.

Starched laundry can be dried in the

tumble dryer. To achieve the usual fin-

ish, double the amount of starch should

be used.

Minimum iron fabrics should be spun

briefly at the end of their wash pro-

gramme, or spun for 10 to 30 seconds

if hand washed before they are dried.

Some fabrics tend to crease if over-

dried. These items should be given

only a short period in the dryer, and

taken out slightly damp. Do not use the

BMinimum iron - 7Normal+ pro-

gramme for these fabrics.

Minimum iron shirts in 100% cotton

may crease during tumble drying de-

pending on the quality of the weave.

These should be dried using the Hand

iron 9setting. In extreme cases drip

dry on a coat hanger.

Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease

more the greater the load. This is par-

ticulary the case with delicate fabrics.

The load should be reduced to 2 kg or

if necessary to 1.5 kg.

New dark coloured garments should

be dried separately from light coloured

garments to avoid the danger of

colours running.
