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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain valuable materials. They

also 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 it with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre.

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.

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 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 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 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

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 tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced

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

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

how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the

consequences 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

unsupervised 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

 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) match 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).

 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.

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

by a Miele authorised 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.

 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety

of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

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

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.

Warning and Safety instructions

 This 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.

 Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

and the "Technical data".

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

disconnect 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 dryer.

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

installation.

Correct use

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

The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are

given in the Programme chart.

 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

 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

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

inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of

acetone, alcohol, benzene, 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

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: Do not switch the 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.

 Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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).

– Items 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 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.
