Warning and Safety instructions

Explanation of the Warning and Safety
symbols on the machine

It is essential to read these operating in
structions.

Please refer to specific instructions, e.g.
Installation instructions

Caution, hot surfaces.

Caution, voltage up to 1000 volts.

Earthing

items soiled with grease or oil which have not been

–

properly cleaned beforehand. Use heavy-duty de
tergents where necessary to clean heavily soiled
garments, e.g. workwear. If necessary consult the
detergent manufacturer for advice.

-

With sensitive fabrics there may be a danger of them
self igniting if dried for too long. They should be re
moved as soon as the programme has finished or if
there is a power cut.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine at all times.

Do not unload laundry from the drum until the

~

cooling down phase has been completed.
Hot laundry can self ignite and cause a fire when
folded or put away.

Check that all pockets of workwear etc are empty

~

to avoid the danger of inflammable objects, e.g. ciga­rette lighters, matches, candles or cosmetics being
placed in the dryer.

If the dryer is installed in a public area the owner

~

must ensure that it can be operated safely.

-

-

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the
machine read the operating instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They contain
important information about the installation, safety,
use and maintenance of the machine. Keep them
in a safe place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them on to any
future owner of the machine.

Correct application

This dryer must only be used for drying articles

~

which were washed in water and which have a care
label stating that the article is suitable for machine
drying.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following must

~

not be dried in this tumble dryer (with the exception
of those fabrics which can be dried in the Special
Programmes specifically designed for them):

– fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber,

foam rubber or rubber-like materials.

– items which have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents.

– items which have been splashed with hair lacquer,

hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar sub­stances.

–

items which have been soiled with oils or residues
containing grease (kitchen oils, cosmetics etc.).

–

items soiled with wax or other chemicals (e.g.
mops and floor cloths).

Technical and electrical safety

This machine must only be installed and commis-

~

sioned by a Miele authorised technician.

The electrical safety of this machine can only be

~

guaranteed if connected to a correctly installed
earthing system on site. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and tested regu­larly, and where there is any doubt, the on-site electri­cal wiring should be inspected by a qualified electri­cian. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system
(e.g. electric shock).

The machine is only completely isolated from the

~

electricity supply either when it is switched off at the
isolator switch or the mains fuse has been withdrawn.

Repairs to electrical and gas heated appliances

~

should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and
competent person in accordance with local and na­tional safety regulations. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manu­facturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Faulty components must only be replaced by gen-

~

uine Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts
are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.

This machine must not be operated in the same

~

room as dry cleaning machines which use solvents
containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Escaping va­pours break down during combustion into hydrochlo­ric acid which can have a detrimental effect on both
the laundry and the machine. Even when such ma
chines are installed in separate rooms, care should
be taken to ensure that no exchange of air can take
place.

-

–

items with damaged padding or fillings (e.g. pil
lows, jackets).

Warning and Safety instructions

The dryer must have a constant supply of fresh air.

~

Vapours containing chlorine, fluorine or other solvents
must not be able to reach the dryer.

This appliance shall not be used to dry off solvents

~

or dry cleaning fluids.

The ventilation inlet to the dryer is located at the

~

back of the machine. It must not be blocked or hin­dered in any way. Do not cover the machine lid with
cloths or similar items.

Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable

~

substance must not be stored or used near the tum­ble dryer. Fire and explosion risk.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appli-

~

ance whiles it is in operation.

To ensure the correct performance of the machine

~

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

Do not modify this appliance.

~

Use

This tumble dryer must only be used when it is

~

connected to a suitable ducting system. The installa­tion site must be adequately ventilated.

This tumble dryer is not intended for use by per-

~

sons (including children) with reduced physical, sen­sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it
or have been shown how to use it by a by a person
responsible for their safety.

Keep children away from the tumble dryer at all

~

times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not
allow them to play on or near it or to play with the
controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.

Always close the drum door and the fluff filter

~

compartment after use to avoid:

– the risk of children hiding things in the dryer

– the risk of children and small animals climbing into

the drum and endangering their lives.

Do not use a machine with damaged controls or

~

cables. These must be repaired before it is used
again.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety fea-

~

tures, fixtures and control elements of this machine.

Any removable outer panels must be back in

~

place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded be­fore the machine is switched on.

Whilst the dryer is in use the porthole glass and

~

drum door frame can become very hot. Laundry will
also be very hot if you remove it early.

To prevent the risk of injury or scalding compo

~

nents carrying steam must not be touched.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary be

~

fore reaching into the machine to remove laundry.

-

-

Reaching into a moving drum is extremely danger
ous.

Take care near the drum door hinges and the fluff

~

filter compartment flap. Danger of injury. Ensure that
you always use the handles.

The drum door must be able to be opened to its

~

fullest extent. This area must not be restricted by
doors or structural features.

Do not use the machine without the built-in fluff fil-

~

ter in place. Fire risk.
A damaged fluff filter must be replaced before the
machine is used again.
Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage in the
airways, the heating and the vent ducting, and the
correct functioning of the machine cannot be as­sured.

Cleaning and disinfecting agents often contain

~

chlorine-based substances. Do not let such agents
come into contact with the stainless steel surfaces, as
the chlorine can have a corrosive effect and cause
rust. Use chlorine-free agents for washing and disin­fecting and also for cleaning stainless steel surfaces
to protect them from corrosion. If in doubt, confirm
with the manufacturer that their product is suitable. If
any agent containing chlorine comes into contact with
the stainless steel surfaces, wipe it away immediately
with clean water. Then dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the

~

machine.

-

Gas heated dryers

The gas mains connection point and the gas con-

~

nection to the machine should be switched off for all
cleaning and maintenance work and in the event of a
fault.

Warning. After commissioning the machine, and

~

after any maintenance, conversion or repair work all
components carrying gas from the gas tap to the
burners should be tested for leakage. Test points on
the gas tap and the burner are particularly important.
The machine should be tested with the burner
switched on and switched off.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when ex-

~

pressly approved by Miele. If spare parts or accesso­ries from other manufacturers are used, this will invali­date the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposing of your old machine

Before disposing of an old machine, first make the

~

door lock unusable. This way you will prevent chil
dren from accidentally locking themselves in and en
dangering their lives.

Keep these instructions in a safe and
accessible place.

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.

Rather than just throwing these materials away,
please ensure they are 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 therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Tips on saving energy

Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun
before drying. This saves time and energy.

Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the final rinse
helps to reduce the residual moisture level, and the
residual heat in the laundry will help keep processing
time down, thus saving energy.

Sort textiles according to:

- fabric and weave,

- drying level required,

- residual moisture levels.

For greater economy dry a full load. Underloading is
uneconomical. Overloading will impair the drying
result and the laundry finish.

Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

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.

See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet
for further details.

Drying

Sort the laundry

Not all textiles are suitable for machine drying.
Please read the instructions given on the garment
care label.

The meaning of the care symbols:

q = Dry at normal temperature
r = Dry at low temperature
s = Do not tumble dry

Sort the laundry according to fibre type and weave to
ensure even drying.

There is a danger of fire with the following

,

and they must not be dried in this machine (with
the exception of those fabrics which can be dried
in the Special Programmes specifically designed
for them):

- articles containing foam rubber, rubber or rubber
like materials,

- articles which have been treated with inflamma­ble cleaning agents,

- articles which have been splashed with hair lac­quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover etc.,

- articles soiled with oils, grease and other resi­dues e.g. kitchen linen and spa linen,

- articles contaminated with residues such as wax
or chemicals, e.g. mops and floor cloths,

- articles with damaged padding

- articles soiled with oils or grease which have not
been sufficiently washed beforehand. Use
heavy-duty detergents where necessary to clean
very dirty garments, e.g. workwear. If necessary
consult the detergent manufacturer for advice.

Starched laundry can be machine dried. Select the
most appropriate programme for ironing by hand or
machine.
Sort the laundry according to the level of dryness re
quired. It is not necessary to sort according to size.

Duvet covers and pillow cases should be closed to
prevent smaller items rolling up inside them.

For greater economy dry a full load. Underloading is
uneconomical. Overloading will impair the drying re­sult and the laundry finish.

Rinsing the laundry using hot water in the final rinse
helps to reduce the residual moisture level, and the
residual heat in the laundry will help keep processing
time down, thus saving energy.

-

The following textiles should not be machine
dried:

Woollens and wool blends as these tend to matt and
shrink. Partially dry these using in the "Woollens"
programme.

Pure linen tends to roughen if tumble dried. Please
follow instructions given on the care label.

Important:

Textiles with large metal accessories such as buck­les, hooks and zip tags should be placed in a laundry
bag or a pillow case before drying. This is to protect
the drum from scratches and dents during drying.

Garments with closed metal zips can cause the sen­sor electrodes in the drum ribs to be bridged. This
can cause the drying process to go on for too long, or
to not finish at all. Open zips before drying.

Loopknit and woven textiles (e.g. T-shirts and under
wear) have a tendency to shrink depending on their
quality. This is made worse by over-drying. Do not
use the "Cottons dry plus" for these textiles.

Cleaning and care

Fluff filter

Do not use the machine without the fluff filter in

,

place. Fire risk.
A damaged fluff filter must be replaced before the
machine is used again.
Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage in the
airways, the heating and the vent ducting, and the
correct functioning of the machine cannot be as­sured.

The fluff filter collects any fluff and lint from the
laundry. It should be cleaned at least once a day and
when the 0 indicator comes on.
If there is a large amount of fluff and lint, the filter will
need frequent cleaning.

The fluff filter must not be removed. When cleaning it,
do so with care and make sure it does not get
damaged.

The housing, control panel and any plastic compo

^

nents should be cleaned using a suitable mild
cleaning agent, applied with a soft damp cloth.
Rub dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.

If starched laundry has been dried, the drum

^

should be wiped out with a damp cloth afterwards.

Do not clean the machine with abrasive cleaning
agents.

After cleaning, check the seals for any damage and
make sure the door and fluff compartment flap shut
correctly.

The ventilation inlet to the dryer is located at the
back of the machine. It must not be blocked or
hindered in any way. Do not cover the machine lid
with cloths or similar items.

The area surrounding the machine, in particular
around the air inlet, must be kept free of dust and fluff
at all times. If taken into the dryer, they can cause
faults with the machine.

The following should be checked and cleaned once
a year by a Miele authorised service technician:

-

^ Open the fluff compartment flap.
^ Wipe fluff off the filter by hand. Never use pointed

or sharp edged objects to do this.

Tumble dryer

Before any cleaning or maintenance switch the dryer
off at the on-site mains switch.
With gas heated dryers the gas connection must also
be switched off, both at the mains and at the
machine. With steam heated dryers the steam supply
cut-off valve must be closed.

– The burners and burner compartment on

gas-heated dryers, the heaters and heater shaft on
electric-heated dryers.

– The entire interior of the dryer

– The fins on the exhaust fan

,

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

,

Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to

clean the machine.
