Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

The packaging is designed to protect

the appliance from damage during

transportation. The packaging materials

used are selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the

use of raw materials in the

manufacturing process and also

reduces the amount of waste in landfill

sites. 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.

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.

Therefore, please do not dispose of

your old appliance with your household

waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre.

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 speed, the

greater the savings that can be made

in energy and time during drying, e.g.

approx. 30% energy can be saved if

spun at 1600 rpm instead of 1000

rpm.

– Load according to the optimum

amount of laundry recommended for

the programme being used.

Underloading is uneconomical.

Overloading gives a poorer quality of

drying and may cause unnecessary

creasing.

– Make sure the room temperature is

not too high. If there are other heat

producing appliances in the room in

which the tumble 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 fluff filters in the door and in

the door opening.

– Check the condenser unit once a

year and clean it if necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with current local and national 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 is not suitable for outdoor use.

 It 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. If using dry cleaning kits,

do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the

packaging.

Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held

liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or

operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 by a person responsible

for their safety.

Safety with children

 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

 Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has

been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

 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.

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 (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) matches

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

electrician.

 Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be

assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

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

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety

requirement 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).

Warning and Safety instructions

 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).

 If the 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 authorised service technician, otherwise any

subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare

parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when

Miele replacement parts are used.

 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 circuit breaker.

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

installations (e.g. on a ship).

 Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised

to do so by Miele.

 Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

and "Technical data".

 The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to

separate the tumble dryer from the mains.

 Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and

the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a

sufficient flow of air to the tumble dryer.

 Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after

installation.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with

particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical

resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp

must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not

suitable for room lighting.

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.

 The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 kg (dry weight). See

the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for

individual programmes.

 To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a

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

If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling

down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.

Warning and Safety instructions

 Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when

exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.

The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.

Oxidation creates heat.

If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to

catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent

heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or

cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they

should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will

reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

 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).

– 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

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

wash the items several times.

 Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

Warning and Safety instructions

 Warning: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the

programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is

stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up

or spread it out to cool it down.

 Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to

the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

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

in this tumble dryer:

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

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

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.

 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 onto or into the dryer or hiding things in it.

– pets or other small animals climbing into it.
