Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should 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.

Disposal 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 it with

your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste 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 (see

Programme chart).

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.

– Make sure the fluff filters are clean

before using the dryer.

– Check the condenser unit from time

to time and clean it when necessary.

Contents

~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 not designed for commercial use. It is

intended for use in domestic households and similar working and

residential environments.

~The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

~It must only be used as a domestic appliance 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. If

using dry cleaning kits, 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

~The tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced

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

knowledge, if they are are supervised whilst using it or have been

shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards

involved.

Safety with children

~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble

dryer unless they are constantly supervised.

~Children 8 years and older may only use, clean or maintain the

tumble dryer without supervision if they have been shown how to do

so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

~The tumble dryer is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not

allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the controls.

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 tumble dryer, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains

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

~The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety

requirement is observed 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).

~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 tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).

~If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from

danger.

~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, otherwise any

subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure

current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

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

standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.

~The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

~The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).

~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 tumble dryer

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 guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

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

in this appliance:

–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

deposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).

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

these might self-ignite when heated, even after they have been

removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.

– items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with

inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of

acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,

turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.

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

varnish remover or similar substances.

When washing such heavily soiled items, ensure that you use

additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,

wash the items several times.

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

~Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying

programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung

up or spread out to cool it down.

Warning and Safety instructions

~Danger.

This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket

(e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device).

If the dryer programme were to be interrupted before the end of the

cooling down phase, the laundry could self-combust.

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

–items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g.

professional dry-cleaning agents).

–fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or

rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex

foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles

and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.

– damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,

jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of

igniting in the dryer.

~In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling

down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when

you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry

self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down

phase has been completed.

As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the

drum.

~Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the

tumble dryer to tip up.

~Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the

danger of:

–children climbing into the dryer or hiding things in it.

–pets or other small animals climbing into it.
