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.

Disposal 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 therefore dispose 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 the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– After every cycle remove the fluff

from the fluff filter in the door and in the door opening (see "Cleaning and Care").

– Check the condenser unit from time

to time and clean it when necessary.

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

conditions are met:

the ship’s hull is longer than 28 metres.

–

the list of the vessel is not more than 2°.

–

any external vibration is no more than 150 Hz at an amplitude of

–

The safe operation and correct functioning of the tumble dryer can only be guaranteed if the above conditions are met.

The tumble dryer may not be operated on an open deck.

A risk assessment of the installation must be carried out by a

suitably qualified engineer before this appliance is installed or used. Installation must only be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

The tumble dryer must be fixed in position when it is installed.

Failure to do this could result in personal injury and damage to property.

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the

user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee. Ensure current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to

prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance. Please also read the "Installation and connection" and the "Electrical connection" sections.

Warning and Safety instructions

Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

and "Technical data".

The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to

disconnect the tumble dryer from the electricity supply.

For hard-wired machines, the all-pole isolator provided on-site

must be easily accessible after installation in order to disconnect the tumble dryer from the electricity supply.

Do not block the gap between the base of the dryer and the floor

with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. as this would hinder a sufficient intake of air.

Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after

installation.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

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 and dirt drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.

Warning and Safety instructions

The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if

the fluff filters are damaged in any way. Damaged filters can cause operational faults and blockages in the airways, condenser unit and heating elements. Fire hazard. In the event of a damaged filter, switch the dryer off and replace the filter with a new one.

The fluff filters must be cleaned regularly.

The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place.

The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Damp or

wet filters could cause operational faults.

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 water is drained externally instead of being collected in the

condensed water container, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
