Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging

material

The packaging material is used for

handling and protects the appliance

from transport damage. The packaging

material used is selected from materials

which are environmentally friendly for

disposal and can generally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging material re-

duces the use of raw materials. Use

material-specific collection points for

valuable materials and take advantage

of return options. Your Miele dealer will

take the packaging material away.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances

contain many valuable materials. They

also contain certain materials, com-

pounds and components which were

essential for their correct functioning

and safety. These could be hazardous

to human health and to the environment

if disposed of with household waste or

if handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with household waste.

Instead, please make use of officially

designated collection and disposal

points to dispose of and recycle elec-

trical and electronic appliances in your

local community, with your dealer or

with Miele, free of charge. By law, you

are solely responsible for deleting any

personal data from the old appliance

prior to disposal. You are legally obliged

to remove any old batteries which are

not securely enclosed by the appliance

and to remove any lamps without des-

troying them, where this is possible.

These must be taken to a suitable col-

lection point where they can be handed

in free of charge. Please ensure that

your old appliance poses no risk to chil-

dren while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with all current local and national

safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-

sonal injury and damage to property.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tumble

dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,

use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam-

age to the tumble dryer.

In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and

strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the

chapter on installing the tumble dryer as well as the safety instruc-

tions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance

with these instructions.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them

on to any future owner.

Correct application

 This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and

similar working and residential environments.

 This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

 It must be used only 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 us-

ing dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instruc-

tions provided on the packaging.

Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held li-

able for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or opera-

tion.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced phys-

ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or know-

ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how

to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-

sequences of incorrect operation.

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 the tumble dryer unsu-

pervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise

and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble

dryer unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do

not let them play with it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and the “Technical

data”.

 Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-

ible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.

 Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the

mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electri-

cian.

 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-

ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with

the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is

possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-

tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent

standard.

The function and operation of the protective measures provided in

the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must

also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not

synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must

be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,

for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO

45001.

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

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-

quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring

system tested 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by an

extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat

and are a fire hazard.
