IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure that no unattended

WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

It is essential to read all instructions

before using this appliance.

This machine conforms to current safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and property damage. Read the operating instructions carefully before using this machine.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by non-observance of these Important Safety Instructions.

The tumble dryer is only intended for

drying fabrics washed in a water solution. Check fabric care labels to verify materials can be machine dried.

Before maintenance, or cleaning

and care disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply pulling the plug or tripping the circuit breaker.

Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children. Always close the door after use to prevent child hazards.

children can access the machine. There is a potential danger that children can be trapped in the drum. This may cause major injuries or the death of the child.

Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

Do not install or store this appliance

where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper

with the controls.

Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. Repairs to electrical appliances should only be performed by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user.

Clean the lint filter before or after

each load.

Keep the area around the exhaust

opening (toekick) and adjacent surrounding areas free of lint, dust and dirt.

The interior of the machine and

exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified personnel.

Only use genuine Miele accessories

and replacement parts. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may become void.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following articles 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 are still soiled with grease, oil or other substances (such as cosmetics, lotions, etc.) If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they could ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the program.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, wax, wax remover, chemicals for buffing (e.g. mops and floor cloths) or other flammable or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

– items which have been spattered

with hair spray, nail polish remover or similar substances.

To prevent the risk of fire, the

following articles or items must not be dried in this tumble dryer:

fabrics which contain a large amount

–

of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberized articles, and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling, or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

which contain padding or fillings

–

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

In many programs, 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 program is not finished until the cooling down phase is complete. Always wait until the end of the program before removing the laundry.

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.

Warning: Do not switch the tumble

dryer off before the end of the drying program. If this was done and the laundry was then removed immediately it could give off a great amount of heat.

Do not use fabric softeners or

products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of

the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Before this appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

Drying tips

Observe the maximum loads, see the

–

"Program guide".

Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying and wrinkling.

– Do not place dripping wet items in

the dryer. Spin the laundry after the wash for at least 30 seconds.

– Dry delicate fabrics (with the fabric

care symbol r) with the "Low temperature" option.

– Open jackets to allow even drying.

– Starched laundry can be dried in

the tumble dryer. The amount of starch should be doubled during the wash.

Wool and wool blends tend to felt

–

and shrink. Dry wool and wool blends in the "Woollen handcare" program.

The fine fabric of down filled items

–

tend to shrink. Dry these items in the "Smoothing" program.

Dry pure linen items only if it is

–

recommended on the fabric care label. The surface of the fabric may become "rough". Dry these items in the "Smoothing" program.

Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-Shirts and

–

underwear) tend to shrink when washed and dried for the first time. Do not overdry these fabrics.

– Permanent press and delicate

fabrics tend to crease more the bigger the load size. For better drying results reduce the load size or select the "Shirts" program.

Use

–

Wash new, colored items before drying for the first time and do not dry with light-colored items. These fabrics can "bleed" (also onto plastic parts of the dryer). Colored lint may also get on the light colored items.

Use

1. Sort the laundry

Loosen up the washed laundry.

For even drying results sort by

desired dryness, fiber/fabric, size and residual moisture after spinning.

Do not dry items that may melt or

ignite in the dryer such as plastics, rubber or sneakers. They could melt and damage the laundry.

Check hems and seams, be sure that

–

no filling can come out.

– Comforter covers and pillowcases

should be fastened in order to prevent small items from getting trapped inside of them.

dryer from the electrical supply by shutting off the power, unplugging the power cord or tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power until installation is complete.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of

the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician, service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance! If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

This dryer must be vented outdoors

to reduce the risk of fire. Be sure to observe local building codes.

Do not install a clothes dryer with

flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for

venting. Non-metallic flexible hose should not be used, it is a potential fire hazard.

The appliance shall not be

exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing multiple dryers to

one collective exhaust duct, a non-return flap per dryer must be installed directly to the collective duct. Otherwise the dryers could be damaged and the electrical safety affected.

operated without the lid in place.

Installation

Electrical connection

This installation should be

performed by an experienced and qualified technician, in accordance with local codes and regulations.

The dryer comes with a power cord and NEMA L6-30 plug.

The machines is supplied for a connection toa2AC208V 60Hz 2x30A, Single Phase Supply.

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA.

The machine must only be connected to the voltage and frequency shown on the data plate.

General notes

The dryer must only run if the

moist exhaust air from the drying process is conducted outside by an installed exhaust duct vent.

Disconnect the dryer from the

power supply during installation of the exhaust duct.

The exhaust connection (e.g. a wall pipe) must be installed, so that the moist exhaust air cannot get drawn back into the installation room and cause constructional damage or unreasonable disturbance.

The room air, which is taken in when the dryer is in operation, is blown out via the exhaust vent. It is important, particularly if the room is small, to ensure adequate ventilation and air supply opening a window or installing unlockable ventilation openings in the wall., for example, will allow more air to enter the room. Otherwise drying times and energy consumption may increase.

How to calculate the effective duct length

The overall duct length will determine the duct diameter (see the "Additional duct lengths" table). In Canada the exhaust duct must be 4" (102 mm) in diameter.

Measure the actual duct length

needed to go from the dryers exhaust connection to the vent outlet:

1. Establish the number of elbows or bends necessary, noting the type of bend, angle and radius involved (see Table).

2. Add the additional duct length (as derived by using the values specified in the table) and the actual duct length to get the effective length.

Note:

Maximum effective duct lengths: 4" (100 mm) diameter 66 ft (20 m) 5" (125 mm) diameter 132 ft (40 m) 6" (150 mm) diameter 328 ft (100 m)

If using flexible metal duct the total length must not exceed 7' 10" (2.4 m).

See the "Additional duct lengths" table for more information on maximum duct lengths and number of bends.

Using the ring adapter, up to an effective duct length of 33 ft (10 m), and a standard duct diameter of 4" (100 mm) will provide optimal drying times and energy consumption.

Do not use the ring adapter if the effective duct length is more than 33 ft (10 m).

Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m) require a larger duct diameter.

Longer ducts may lead to slight decreases in dryer efficiency if the necessary duct diameter is not employed.

Installation of exhaust venting

Tips about the ductwork

Check with your local building codes

–

to determine the maximum allowable duct length.

Only use rigid or flexible metal duct

–

for exhausting. Non-metallic flexible hose should not be used, it is a potential fire hazard.

In the United Stated foil-type flexible

–

ducts should only be used if identified for use by the manufacturer as compliant with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject ANSI/UL 2158A. In Canada, only flexible metal (foil-type) ducts specifically identified for use by the manufacturer should be used.

– Use the wall vent or window

connection (optional accessories) for venting outdoors.

– For optimal drying results avoid long

ducting with too many bends, angles or tight corners.

Do not assemble the duct with

–

screws or other fastening devices that extend into the duct and catch lint.

The shorter the exhaust ductwork,

–

the more efficient the dryer will be. Expelled air is slowed down in the ducts due to friction against the inner walls. The shorter and smoother the inner walls are, the less friction will be created.

An elbow or bend creates more

–

friction than a straight duct. An additional duct length factor must be added for each elbow or bend (see Table). This factor expresses the resistance of the bend in terms of a straight length of duct. The additional length factor is then added to the existing duct to give the effective length. A larger duct diameter helps reduce friction. Therefore the duct diameter and length should be increased simultaneously.
