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.
