Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.

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 machine

Electrical and electronic machines
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 machine.
Please do not dispose of it with your
household waste.

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 that 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 (see "Cleaning
and Care").

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The maximum load of dry laundry for this tumble dryer is 6.5 kg.

~

See the Programme chart for the maximum recommended loads in
individual programmes.

Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the

~

tumble dryer to tip up. Danger of injury.

Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the

~

danger of:

children climbing into the dryer or hiding things in it.

–

– pets or other small animals climbing into it.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer.

~

Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and

~

fluff. Dust drawn into the appliance can cause blockages. Faults can
then occur as well as the risk of fire.

This dryer must not be used:

~

– without the fluff filters or the plinth filter in place.

– without the grille on the bottom right in place.

–

if the fluff filters or plinth filter are damaged in any way.
In the event of any damage, replace them immediately.

This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid operational faults:

~

After every cycle remove fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.

–

The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dried after being

–

cleaned with water.
Wet fluff filters or a wet plinth filter could cause operational faults.

Always clean the airways (fluff filters, plinth filter, grille bottom

–

right) when the prompt to do so appears in the display.

Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of

~

frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble
dryer may not be able to operate properly.
There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to
freeze in the pump and hoses.
The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C and
+35°C.

If the condensed water is drained externally, make sure the drain

~

hose is securely attached if you hang it in a sink or basin to avoid
the hose slipping and the water causing damage.

Condensed water is not drinking water.

~

It can cause health problems in both people and animals.

12

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 self-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, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax, 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 such as lighters and matches from pockets.

~

Warning: Do not switch the tumble 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.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Danger.

~

This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device).
If the dryer programme were to be interrupted before the end of the
cooling down phase, the laundry could self-combust.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:

~

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 items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,

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

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according

~

to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable liquid must not

~

be stored or used near the tumble dryer. Danger of fire and
explosion.

Do not allow air contaminated with chlorine, fluorine or other

~

vapours containing solvents to get into the tumble dryer. Fire
hazard.

For tumble dryers with stainless steel surfaces:

~

The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless
steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.
Do not, therefore, store containers of these agents near the tumble
dryer.

15

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

~

this tumble dryer.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee, performance and product
liability claims may be invalidated.

A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing

~

machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the
Miele tumble dryer and Miele washing machine.

If installing the machine on a Miele plinth, (available as an

~

optional accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for
this tumble dryer.

Notes and tips on laundry care

1. Sort the laundry

Garment care label symbols

Drying

q/r Normal/low temperature

Drying is carried out at a low
temperature in every
programme in this dryer, so you
do not need to sort your
garments according to whether
they have the q or r symbol.

s Do not tumble dry

Ironing

I Very hot
H Hot
G Warm
J Do not iron

Before drying

– Wash heavily soiled items very

thoroughly, ensuring that you use
sufficient detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.

–

Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. 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.

New dark-coloured garments should

–

be washed and dried separately
from light-coloured garments the first
few times they are washed, to avoid
the risk of colours running and
discolouring other garments or even
the plastic components in the
machine.
Dark-coloured fibres can also settle
on light-coloured garments and vice
versa.

Starched laundry can be dried in the

–

tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.

– Check the seams of padded or

down-filled items to prevent the risk
of fillings coming out. These could
catch fire in the tumble dryer.

– Tie together textile belts and apron

ties to stop them getting tangled.

– Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent

small items from being trapped
inside them. Fasten hooks and eyes.

–

Stitch in or remove loose underwiring
from bras.

–

Leave jackets open and undo any
long zips so that textiles dry evenly.

–

For an even drying result, it is
important to...
. . . spin,
. . . shake out,
. . . and sort items according to
fabric type, size and the drying level
required.

Notes and tips on laundry care

2. Load the tumble dryer

Using the tumble dryer

,

incorrectly could cause a fire. Read
the "Warning and Safety instructions"
before using the dryer.

Make sure that objects, e.g.

,

detergent dispensing balls, have
been removed from the laundry.
They could melt and cause damage
to the dryer or the laundry.

Do not overload the drum.

–

Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.

– To save energy, always observe the

maximum load for each programme
(see "Programme chart").

– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease

more the greater the load. This is
also the case for garments made
from very fine weave fabrics, such as
shirts or blouses.
If necessary, reduce the size of the
load for these types of fabrics.

3. Select a programme

On many programmes, different

–

drying levels can be selected
depending on individual
requirements:

. . . e.g. Normal+ for laundry that you
want to fold and put away immedi
ately after drying.

. . . e.g. Machine iron or Hand iron if
the laundry needs further processing
after drying, e.g. machine ironing.
See "Programme chart".

Select Gentle tumble for delicate

–

fabrics (drying with reduced
mechanical action).

– Down-filled garments have linings

which have a tendency to shrink,
depending on the quality of the item.
They can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.

– Pure linen items should only be

machine dried if specified as suitable
by the manufacturer on the care
label, as the surface of the fabric
may otherwise become rough. They
can be partially dried using the
Smoothing programme.

-

–

Woollens and wool blends tend to
become matted and shrink if dried in
a tumble dryer. Only dry these
fabrics in a Woollens programme.

–

Loopknit garments (e.g. T-shirts and
underwear) tend to shrink depending
on their quality. Do not over-dry.
When purchasing these garments it
is advisable to take their shrinkage
properties into account.

Cleaning and care

Make sure you clean all the fil­ters at the correct intervals

This tumble dryer has a multistage fil­ter system, consisting of the fluff filters
(1) and a filter in the plinth (2). This
system, together with the bottom right
grille/airway (3) requires regular main­tenance.

– Do not operate the tumble dryer

without the fluff filters and the filter
in the plinth in place. Also the bot­tom right grille must always be in
place.

– Make sure that the fluff filters and

the fine filter are not damaged. Re­place them immediately, if they are
damaged in any way (available as
optional accessories).

 Failure to do so could cause an

excessive build-up of fluff which in
turn could cause a fault!

1. When to clean the fluff filters

 Clean the fluff filters after each

drying programme

The fluff which is created by the drying
process is collected by the fluff filters
in the door and the door opening.

 See “Cleaning the fluff filters”

33

Cleaning and care

2. When to clean the filter in the
plinth

The plinth filter protects the heat ex­changer from fluff.
Therefore it is particularly important to
clean this filter thoroughly on a regular
basis in accordance with these oper­ating instructions. The filter must also
be checked regularly for wear.

With normal use
Clean when Clean plinth filter ap-

pears in the display.

With continuous use
Clean 1x daily and additionally when

the prompt appears in the display.

The filter in the plinth is behind the ser­vice panel on the bottom left. It collects
finer fluff, hair and detergent residues
that have got through the surfaces of
the fluff filters.

 If the filter is not properly

cleaned or is worn or blocked, the
heat exchanger will be permanently
obstructed. There is insufficient flow
of air and heat in the heat exchanger.

This requires a visit from the Service
department.

This can be avoided by following the
advice in these operating instruc­tions.

 See “Filter in the plinth”.
 To clear the Clean plinth filter prompt:

Confirm with OK.

34

3. When to clean the bottom right
grille / airways

Clean when Open grille bottom right
and clean airways appears in the dis-

play.

There are vents for air cooling in the
bottom right grille. The cooling fins be­hind the grille can become blocked with
dust and dirt drawn in from the sur­rounding area.

 Keep the room where the tumble

dryer is located free from dust and
fluff. This will reduce the requirement
to clean the bottom right grille/air­ways.

Cleaning and care

 See “Bottom right grille/airways”.
 Also check and clean the filter in the

plinth and surfaces of the fluff filters.

 To clear the Open grille bottom right

and clean airways prompt: Confirm

with OK.

35

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the fluff filters

When to clean

 Clean the surfaces of the fluff fil-

ters in the door and the door opening
after each drying programme.

Cleaning them whilst dry

Tip: You can use a vacuum cleaner to

remove the fluff.

 Use your fingers or a vacuum cleaner

to remove the fluff from the surface of
the filter.

1 Fluff filter
2 Door seal

 Open the door and pull the fluff filter

(1) out of the door as illustrated.

 Remove any fluff from the hollow part

of the door with a bottle brush or a
vacuum cleaner.

 Also clean the door seal (2) with a

damp cloth.

36

 Use your fingers or a vacuum cleaner

to remove the fluff from the two fluff
filters in the door opening.

 Once clean, push the filter back into

the door holder until it clicks into pos­ition. Ensure it is facing the correct
way.

 Close the door.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning them with water

 If there is a great deal of com-

pacted fluff on any of the filters, they
can be removed and cleaned under
hot running water.

 Open the door and pull the fluff filter

out of the door as described previ­ously.

The two filters in the door opening can
also be removed if you need to clean
them with water.

Replacing them

 Do not replace them if they are

damp or wet. Damp or wet filters
could cause operational faults.

 Push the large filter back into the

door holder until it clicks into posi­tion. Ensure it is facing the correct
way.

 Replace the filters in the door open-

ing by first inserting them at the bot­tom and then pressing them into
place at the top.

 Lock both dials (you will feel them

click into position).

 Turn the dial  on the left and right

fluff filter until you feel it click.

 Pull the filter out of the door opening

by the dial as shown .

 Rinse all the filters under hot, running

water.

 Dry the fluff filters thoroughly with

care.

 Clean the area underneath the filters,

e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.

37

Cleaning and care

Filter in the plinth

When to clean

With normal use
Clean when Clean plinth filter ap­pears in the display.

 To clear the Clean plinth filter prompt:

Confirm with OK.

With continuous use
1x daily and additionally when the
prompt appears in the display.

Removing

On the front left of the tumble dryer:

 Pull the filter out by the handle.

 To open, press the right hand side of

the service panel for the filter in the
plinth.

The service panel will open.

38

 Pull the handle out of the filter.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning

Tip: Fluff can be removed with a va-

cuum cleaner. This makes subsequent
wet cleaning easier.

 Rinse the filter thoroughly under

clean, running water.

 Squeeze the filter very carefully sev-

eral times as you rinse it.

 Rinse the filter until all visible residues

have been removed.

 The plinth filter must not be re-

placed dripping wet.
This can cause a fault.

 The plinth filter must be perfectly

functional and undamaged after
cleaning.

If the filter is not properly cleaned or
is damaged, the flow of air and heat
will be impeded and the heat ex­changer will be permanently obstruc­ted.

Before and after cleaning check
the plinth filter in accordance with
the description in “Replacing the
plinth filter”.

Poor fit

The edges of the filter do not sit prop­erly and the filter is deformed. Fluff will
blow into the heat exchanger unfiltered
through edges that do not sit properly.
This will cause a permanent obstruction
in the heat exchanger.

 Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff

from the handle.

Replacing the plinth filter

 If the tumble dryer is in continu-

ous use and is being cleaned regu­larly the plinth filter can begin to
show signs of wear after a while.

Replace the filter immediately if you
see the following signs of wear be-
fore or after cleaning.

39

Cleaning and care

Deformation

Deformations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu­ous use.

Cracks, tears, indentations

Indentations indicate that the filter has
become blocked and worn by continu­ous use.

White residues or residues of other col­ours

Residues arise from laundry fibres and
traces of detergent components which
can clog the filter. They can be found
on the front and side edges of the filter.
In extreme cases they can form stub­born hard crusts.
Residues are a sign that the filter no is
longer a snug fit at the sides, even if it
appears to be perfect: fluff is getting in
unfiltered at the edges.

Fluff will blow into the heat exchanger
through cracks and tears and will cause
obstruction.

40

If these residues appear on the filter
again soon after cleaning, the filter must
be replaced.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter insert (in the
plinth)

The surface of the filter in the filter in­sert is visible after removing the filter
from the plinth. This filter surface must
only be cleaned if there is a visible ac­cumulation of fluff.

 Carefully vacuum up any visible fluff

or soiling. Use a dusting brush or the
narrow crevice nozzle.

If there are visible blockages or other
residues after cleaning: remove the
filter insert and wet clean it. If stub­born residues are not removed, these
can lead to faults over time.

Removing the filter insert

If the filter insert has soiling adhering to
it, it must be removed for wet cleaning.

 Pull the filter insert out at an angle by

the handle, so that the lower half is
pulled forward.

 Then pull the filter insert out at an

angle to the left. Levering it slightly
as you do so will make it easier to re­move.

 Rinse the filter surface of the insert

under warm running water.

41

Cleaning and care

Ensure the filters are dry before re­placing them. Wet filters could cause
operational faults.

Shake the filter insert thoroughly and
then dry it carefully.

Check the cooling fins on the heat
exchanger

 Danger of injury if you touch the

cooling fins.
You could cut yourself.
Do not touch the cooling fins with

your hands.

After removing the filter insert visually
check the cooling fins on the heat ex­changer. Check for any accumulation of
fluff.

 Risk of damage if cooling fins are

cleaned incorrectly.
The cooling fins can suffer damage

or get bent. This would hinder the
operational performance of the dryer.

Clean using a vacuum cleaner with a
dusting brush attached. Only pass
the vacuum cleaner dusting brush
over the fins lightly, without applying
any pressure.

Refitting the filter insert (in the plinth)

 Carefully vacuum up any visible fluff

or soiling. Use a dusting brush or the
narrow crevice nozzle.

42

 Push the filter insert in gently at an

angle.

The filter insert must first be pushed in
at the top, so that it is easier to fit.

 Push the filter insert in by the handle

Problem solving guide

An unsatisfactory drying result

Problem Possible cause Remedy

The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.

Feather filled pillows
smell after drying.

Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.

There is a build-up of
fluff.

The load consisted of
different fabrics.

Feathers are a natural
product and this is quite
normal.

Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.

Fluff is principally the
result of friction when
garments are being worn
and to some extent when
they are being washed.
Machine drying causes
hardly any fluff to form
and has no appreciable
effect on the lifetime of
the fabric.

Finish drying using the

–

Warm air programme.
Select a different

–

programme next time
(see "Programme
chart").

The smell will dissipate
after sufficient airing.

Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
programme or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.

Fluff is collected by the
fluff filter and can be
easily removed (see
"Cleaning and care").

Other problems

Problem Possible cause Remedy

The drying
process goes
on too long or
even switches
off.

Please check all the possible causes and switch the dryer off
and then back on again.

Ventilation to and from the
dryer may be insufficient, e.g.
because it is installed in a
room which is too small. This
can cause the temperature in
the room to rise sharply.

The cooling fins behind the
bottom right grille are dirty.

Detergent residues, hair and
fine fluff can clog up block the
fluff filters in the door and the
door opening and the plinth
filter.

The fluff filters and the plinth
filter were still wet when they
were replaced.

The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.

The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.

Metallic components, e.g. zips
have prevented the dryer from
registering the correct
moisture level in the laundry.

Open a door or window while
the dryer is in operation for
increased air flow.

Clean these as described in
"Cleaning and care - Bottom
right grille/airway".

Clean these as described in
"Cleaning and care - Cleaning
the surfaces of the fluff

Installation and connection

Installation site

Make sure the dryer door can be

,

opened without hindrance after
installation.

Transporting the dryer to its
installation site

If transporting the dryer at an

,

angle, only tip it towards its left side.

When moving the dryer, hold it by the
lid where it protrudes to the rear. To
manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing
case to its installation site you will also
need to hold it by the front feet.

,

Ensure the tumble dryer is stable

during transportion.

58

,

If the tumble dryer has not been
transported as described, then it
must be left to stand for at least 1
hour before it is connected to the
electricity supply. Otherwise the
heat pump can be damaged.

Levelling the tumble dryer

The machine must be perfectly level to
ensure safe and proper operation.

Installation and connection

Never block the vents on the

,

dryer.
In order to ensure sufficient
ventilation to the dryer, do not
reduce the vent gap between the
underside of the dryer and the floor
with a plinth, deep-pile carpet, etc.

This tumble dryer is not suitable for
building under.

Securing the tumble dryer against
slippage

^

The screw feet can be adjusted to
compensate for any unevenness in
the floor.

,

Secure both front feet on the
dryer using the fixing brackets
supplied.

59

Installation and connection

Payment system

The dryer can be fitted with a Miele
payment system (optional accessory).
This must be connected and
programmed by a Miele Service
technician.

Coins/tokens must be removed from
the payment system regularly,
otherwise it will become blocked.

Note for service technician:

–

When connecting a payment

,

system the plug connector on the
push button switch (see wiring
diagram) must be disconnected
from its position ex-works and
reconnected to the position for
payment system operation.
Failure to do this can cause the
payment system to malfunction.

Room ventilation

Cool air is taken in and then warmed

–

during the drying process after which
it is expelled from the dryer.
It is therefore very important to
ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated, particularly if the dryer is
located in a small room.

Make sure that 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.

Otherwise running times and energy
consumption could be increased.

60

Installation and connection

Hose for external drainage of
condensed water

The condensed water is pumped
away through the drain hose at the
back of the dryer.

Positioning the drain hose

Do not pull on the drain hose

,

and do not stretch it or allow it to
become kinked as it could get
damaged.

Use the bow-shaped guide to

^

prevent the drain hose from
becoming kinked.

Drain hose length: .........1400 mm

Delivery head:.............1000 mm

Extension hose supplied (including

connector): ...............1950 mm

,

Certain installation conditions
require the dryer to be fitted with a
non-return valve (available as an
optional accessory). See "Drain hose
connection".

Drain hose connection

Direct into a sink or basin

Secure the hose carefully (e.g. by

–

tying it to a tap to make sure it
cannot slip during use).
Otherwise there is a risk of
overflowing water which could cause
damage.

Fit a non-return valve if the end of the

–

hose could become immersed in
water.

Connected securely to a floor gully

– It is essential to fit a non-return valve.

Connected directly to a sink drain outlet

– It is essential to fit a non-return valve.

If the tumble dryer is to be connected
to a drainage system already in use by
another appliance, e.g. a dishwasher

– It is essential to fit a non-return valve.

,

A non-return valve will prevent
the risk of back-flow into the dryer
which could cause damage.

61

Installation and connection

Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet

1 Adapter*

2 Nut

3 Hose clip*

4 Extension hose*

5 Non-return valve and hose clip*

Use a screwdriver to tighten hose

^

clip 3 up close to the nut.

Non-return valve 5 has to be

,

fitted with the arrow pointing in the
direction of flow (i.e. towards the
sink). Otherwise water will not drain
out of the tumble dryer.

Fit non-return valve 5 to the tumble

^

dryer drain hose 6 (make sure it is
fitted in the correct direction (see
arrow on non-return valve).

Secure the non-return valve using

^

hose clips.

6 Tumble dryer drain hose

* Accessory

^

Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet
using nut 2.

If this nut has a flat disc in it you
should take the disc out first.

^

Attach the end of the hose 4 to
adapter 1.

62

Electrical connection

All electrical work must be

,

carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK).

Installation and connection

If the machine is disconnected

,

from the electricity supply adequate
measures must be taken to ensure
that the machine cannot be
reconnected to the electricity supply
until all work has been carried out.

This machine is supplied with a
connection cable and moulded plug
(BS 1363) for connection to a 230 V
mains supply.

The machine must only be operated
with the voltage, frequency and fuse
rating shown on the data plate supplied
with the machine. Please ensure these
match the site mains supply.

We recommend connecting the
machine to the power supply via an
IP44 plug and socket which must be
easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine
has been installed.

Do not connect the machine via an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger of overheating).

For extra safety and protection we
recommend connecting the machine by
a 30 mA residual current device (RCD).

The machine must be

,

permanently connected to the
electricity supply to enable the
programme to complete and to
enable the load to cool down after
drying. For this reason it must not be
connected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off
automatically.

WARNING
THIS MACHINE
MUST BE EARTHED

An electrical safety test must be carried
out after installation and after any ser
vice work.

The mains connection cable may only
be replaced by an original Miele spare
part.
