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, the greater the

savings that can be made in energy

and time during drying, e.g. approx.

20% 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.

– Clean the fluff filters in the door

opening after every drying cycle.

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.

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) matches

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 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).

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

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

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is

condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through

the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating

drying air takes place.

– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.
