IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation, repair and maintenance work
should be performed by a Miele
authorized service technician. Work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous
and may void the warranty.
Read all instructions before installation or
use of the tumble dryer to prevent injury
and machine damage.
–

–
To prevent fires, do not use this
tumble dryer to dry the following:
Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or
rubber like materials.
Articles which have been treated with
flammable cleaning agents.
Articles which have been splashed with
hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.
All personnel working with this machine
must be fully trained in all aspects of its
use and safety.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
Clothing which may be greasy, oily or
–
saturated with other residues.
Do not dry mops, floor cloths, etc. in this
machine if they contain substances such
as wax or chemical cleaning agents.
Padded or filled fabrics (e.g. jackets or
cushions) that are damaged should not
be dried. Loose filling could catch fire.
Some fabrics get very hot during drying
and there may be a risk of high
temperatures causing them to ignite in
extreme circumstances. They should be
taken out of the machine as soon as the
program has finished and as soon as
possible if there has been a power failure. It
is advisable to keep a fire extinguisher near
the machine at all times.
Laundry must not be removed from the
dryer before the drying program has
finished, i.e., the cooling down phase must
be completed.
If hot laundry items are stacked or packed
they may spontaneously combust.
Do not let children play in or near the
machine. Do not let them play with the
controls or operate the unit.
Make sure the drum is stationary before
removing laundry. Never put your hand
into a drum that is still moving.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use the dryer only if all housing parts are
installed and no hazard of electrical or
moving parts exists.
The air intake opening is located to the
rear of the machine. Do not cover the
opening under any circumstances.
Fire and Explosion hazard
Never use or store gas, gasoline based
substances or any easily flammable
substances near the machine.
Fire hazard
Do not use the machine without the lint
filter in place. If the lint filter is damaged it
must be replaced immediately.
Clean the lint filter regularly. A build up of
lint could block the airflow, heating and
ventilation. This may impair the efficiency of
the machine.
Keep the area around the air intake
(toekick) and adjacent surrounding areas
free from lint, dust and dirt.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation
for operation in the room where it is
installed.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or
water jet to clean the machine.
Caution
If the tumble dryer shuts off during the
drying cycle, without a fault indicator
lighting, a temperature limiter has activated.
Check the seals and locks on the machine
door and the lint filter.
Check the condition of the air inlet and air
outlet vents. If no damage is evident to any
of the parts checked, the dryer can be
restarted.
If the fault occurs again, call the Miele
Technical Service Department.
KEEP THESE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often
contain chlorides (salts) that can cause
steel surfaces to rust. To protect your
machine from rust damage, only use
chloride free disinfecting and cleaning
agents for laundry, disinfection and cleaning
of the machine. If you are not sure about a
particular agent contact Miele’s Professional
Division.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chloride on the machine it should be rinsed
off with water and dried with a soft cloth.
If there is any damage to the controls or
to the cable insulation, the machine must
not be used until it has been repaired.
Ensure that only fresh air is drawn into
the machine and that it does not contain
chlorine, fluoride or solvent fumes.
