Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the
appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be
recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of
raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often
contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and
components, which were essential for their
correct function and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do
not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Tips for saving energy
This heat-pump tumble dryer offers the
latest technological features. These help
reduce its energy consumption during drying by about 50% compared to the energy
consumption of conventional electrically
heated tumble dryers.
The following tips will help you to make further savings in energy consumption:
– Make sure your laundry is spun in the
washing machine at the maximum spin
speed.
– Carry out the final rinse in the washing
machine with hot water. This results in a
lower residual moisture content and increased residual heat in the laundry after
washing. This reduces the time required
for drying and thus saves energy.
– Sort the laundry:
- by fibre and weave,
- by the required level of drying,
- by residual moisture.
Please dispose of it at your local community
waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact
your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on country)
for deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed of.
Please ensure that your old appliance poses
no risk to children while being stored prior
to disposal.
– Dry the maximum amount specified for
the drying programme whenever possible.
Energy consumption is more economical
for a full load. Partial loads are not economical. Over loading the drum hampers
drying results and affects the finish.
– The drying process is more efficient with a
clean fluff filter and heat-exchanger. This
reduces the time it takes to dry the laundry as well as the amount of energy required.
– Ensure sufficient room ventilation.

Warning and Safety instructions
This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
To protect yourself and to avoid the risk of damage to the tumble dryer, please read
these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information for your safety, and about using and looking after the tumble dryer.
If other persons are being shown how to operate the tumble dryer, they must be given
and/or made aware of these important safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the
content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This tumble dryer is intended only for use in a commercial environment and must only
be operated indoors.
This tumble dryer must only be operated by expert staff or trained personnel.
If the tumble dryer is to be operated in an area accessible to the public, the supervisor
must ensure that it can be operated safely without risk of danger to others.
This tumble dryer must be used as described in these instructions and must be checked
on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning correctly.
This tumble dryer is only intended for drying fabrics which have been washed in a water

Warning and Safety instructions
Preventing problems
Empty all pockets to prevent the risk of flammable items such as lighters and cosmetics
getting into the tumble dryer.
To prevent the risk of fire, do not dry the following textiles in the 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 cooking oil, cosmetics, lotions etc). If
items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might 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, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– Items that have been cleaned using industrial chemical agents.
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
Heavily soiled laundry must be washed particularly thoroughly.
Increase the detergent dosage and select a high wash temperature.
Wash the laundry several times if necessary.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer:
– Items 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 it igniting in the dryer.
The heating-phase is followed in many programmes by cooling-down phase. The pro-
gramme is not finished until this cooling-down phase has finished. This ensures that the
laundry is at a safe temperature which will not damage it.
Unload the drum completely as soon as the programme has finished.
Danger of laundry self-igniting if it is put away or stored whilst still hot.
During the drying process the door glass and frame around the door will get hot.
Danger of burning!
Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter fitted.
Fire hazard without the filter!
A damaged filter must be replaced immediately. Otherwise the airways and the heater elements will get clogged up by fluff. The correct functioning of the tumble dryer cannot be
assured if the filters or airways are impeded.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
This tumble dryer must only be set up and commissioned by a Miele Service technician
or authorised Miele Service Dealer.
Before installation check the tumble dryer for any obvious damage. A damaged tumble
dryer must not be installed and/or used.
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
on-site wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
This tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when the plug
has been withdrawn from the socket, it has been switched off at the mains isolator, or the
mains fuse is disconnected.
Machines with a damaged control panel, wires or cables must not be used until they
have been repaired.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele
cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service
technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The
manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the machine when Miele replacement parts
are used.
This tumble dryer must not be operated in the same room as a machine that uses
solvents containing CFCs. Vapours given off by these break down to form hydrochloric
acid which can have a damaging effect on the laundry and the machine. If installed in adjoining rooms there must be no exchange of air between the two rooms.
Make sure the tumble dryer has a supply of fresh air. Do not expose it to air which is
contaminated with vapour from chlorine, fluorine or other solvents.
The air intake for the tumble dryer is located at the front of the machine. This opening
must never, under any circumstances, be blocked or hindered by objects such as laundry
baskets etc.
Cool air is extracted out to the rear of the tumble dryer. This area must not be blocked.
Please ensure that the minimum gap required, as shown on the installation drawing, is
maintained.
Do not store or use benzine, petrol, paraffin, or other easily flammable liquids near the
machine. Do not use the machine lid as a resting place.
Danger of fire or explosion.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases as a refrigerant. They are her-
metically sealed. Designation: R 134a

Warning and Safety instructions
Heat pump and refrigerant:
– This tumble dryer uses refrigerant gas which is not flammable and not explosive.
– After transporting the machine to its installation site allow it to stand for approx.
30minutes before connecting it to the electrical supply.
This is to protect the heat-pump from damage.
If the heat-pump has been subjected to an inclination greater than 45° during transportation, or if there is a significant difference in temperature between the tumble dryer and
the installation room, the standing time should be increased accordingly.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The max. dry laundry weight is 10 kg.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control elements of the
tumble dryer.
Only operate the tumble when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is im-
possible to touch an electrical component or moving part.
Danger of squashing or cutting fingers etc. around the drum door hinges and the fluff fil-
ter cover. Use the appropriate handles and release catches only.
The area necessary to open the drum door completely must not be obstructed by doors
or other structures.
Disinfecting and cleaning agents often have compounds containing chlorides in them. If
these agents dry on to stainless steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the steel
and can cause rusting. To protect your machine from rust damage, we recommend only
using chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing and disinfecting programmes and for cleaning stainless steel surfaces of the machine itself. If you are unsure
about a particular agent, contact the manufacturer of that agent for advice. Accidental
spillages of agents containing chlorides should be rinsed off affected surfaces with water
and then dried with a soft cloth.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose pipe to clean the tumble dryer. This also applies
to the area behind the service panel at the front of the tumble dryer.
After use there is a danger around the refrigerant pipework and adjoining components of
hot or cold surfaces and parts being under pressure. Allow sufficient time for the machine
to cool down before opening any panels.
This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or
have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble dryer unless they are
constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer unsupervised if they have
been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble dryer unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do not let them play
with it.
Close the drum door after each drying cycle. This is to avoid the risk of children trying to
climb into the tumble dryer or hide things it, and animals getting into the drum.
Safety measures in the event of leaking refrigerant
The heat-pump coolant circuit contains a non-toxic, odourless refrigerant (R134a). If re-
leased into the atmosphere it is rapidly volatised. Because it is heavier than air it can displace oxygen and pose a danger of asphyxiation in small unventilated rooms!

Warning and Safety instructions
If any damage is found on the copper pipes on the heat-pump stop using the machine
and vacate the room.
– Warn other people present of the danger.
– Please see the safety data sheet for further information regarding the handling of this re-
frigerant.
– Call Miele Service.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are
used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Decommissioning the tumble dryer
Before disposing of a tumble dryer, render the door lock inoperable so that children can-
not lock themselves in the machine by mistake and endanger their lives.
Observe legal safety requirements regarding the disposal of refrigerants.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
