Disposal of the packing

material

The packing material protects the

tumble dryer from transport damage.

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

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 therefore

dispose of the appliance with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your Chartered Agent

for advice.

Ensure that your old appliance 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 poorer quality of

drying and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

– Make sure that the room temperature

is not too high. If there are other heat

producing appliances in the room in

which the dryer is located, make sure

the room is well ventilated and switch

the other appliances off if possible.

– After every cycle, remove the fluff

from the surfaces and the fluff filters

(see "Cleaning and Care").

~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 new users

are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

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 or commercial facilities within hotels,

motels or bed & breakfasts.

~This tumble dryer must only be used to dry items which have

been washed in a water solution and which are 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 usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be

dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from

incorrect or improper use or operation of the tumble dryer.

Warning and Safety instructions

~The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

~This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst

using it or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person

responsible for their safety.

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

installations (e.g. on a ship).

Safety with children

~Keep children away from the tumble dryer at all times. It is not a

toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow them to play on or near it

or to play with its controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.

~Older children may only use it if its operation has been clearly

explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the

dangers of incorrect use.

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 tumble dryer.

~Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection

data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains

electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing

system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is

present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the

household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified

electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an

inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~The heat pump technology in the

tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by a

compressor. It is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger

unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.

It is normal for humming noises caused by the heat pump

technology to be heard during the drying process. This does not

impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

–The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

–In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has

been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation").

~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).

Warning and Safety instructions

~Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the

user, for which Miele cannot accept liabilty. Repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.

~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.

~In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer

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.

~Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless

authorised to do so by Miele.

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

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and

its surroundings 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

,Caution! Risk of fire.

To avoid the possible danger of fire, please

read these warnings carefully.

,A clogged filter is a fire hazard!

The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.

~Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

~To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried

in this tumble dryer:

– Items which have not been washed.

– Items, such as workwear, which have not been thoroughly

cleaned and which are still soiled with grease, oil or other

desposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).

If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that

these might ignite when heated, even after they have been

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

removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths) should

be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in

the tumble dryer.

–Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail

polish remover or similar substances.
