IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Read all instructions before installation or use of the dryer to prevent injury and machine damage.

Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous

This appliance complies with current safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can lead to personal injury and material damage.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

The dryer is intended for drying

clothes washed in water. Only dry clothes with a fabric care label stating it is safe for tumble drying. Other uses may be dangerous.

Technical Safety

Check the packaging, the dryer and

accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) matches the mains electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity exists between the machine and an effective grounding system which complies with local and national regulations. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified technician.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electrical supply by an extension cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. Incorrectly repaired machines may pose a considerable risk to the user. Repairs should only be performed by a Miele approved technician.

Faulty components must only be

replaced with genuine Miele spare parts. Only genuine Miele spare parts can guarantee the safe operation of this machine.

A faulty power cord must be

replaced by a genuine Miele power cord.

Before maintenance or cleaning and

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

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.

The installation of this unit at non

stationary locations (e.g. ships) must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations and standards.

The dryer must not be used without

an exhaust duct.

The dryer must not used without the

lint filter in place or with a damaged lint filter.

Check regularly on the exhaust

parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvered wall vent, bends etc.) for air permeability. Lint can collect and block the air flow. If an exhaust hose is already installed, it should be checked before connected to the dryer.

Danger of suffocation or

toxication Adequate ventilation is essential, especially when another appliance which also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. Allow sufficient room ventilation by unlockable ventilation openings in the wall.

Check with your building inspector for a riskless use to avoid a low pressure of 4 Pa or more.

Never connect an exhaust duct to

an active chimney, vent flue or room venting ductwork. Danger of toxication by draw back of exhaust fumes.

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.

Keep the area where the dryer is

installed free from lint, dust and dirt.

Do not install the machine in rooms

where temperatures below freezing may occur.

, WARNING - Risk of Fire

To reduce the risk of severe injury or

death, follow all installation instructions.

Clothes dryer installation must be

performed by a qualified installer.

to grease, oils, or other deposits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the dryer.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

–

items treated with flammable cleaning agents or items containing acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain remover, wax or chemicals from buffing, etc.

–

items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the item several times.
