Warning and Safety instructions

Explanation of the Warning and Safety symbols on the machine

It is essential to read these operating instructions.

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

Caution, hot surfaces.

Caution, voltage up to 1000 volts.

items soiled with grease or oil which have not been

–

properly cleaned beforehand. Use heavy-duty detergents 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 removed 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.

Earthing

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

commissioned 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

genuine 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 machines 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. pillows, 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.

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.

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.

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

persons (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

features, 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

components carrying steam must not be touched.

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

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.

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

connection 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

expressly 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 children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary

before reaching into the machine to remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.

Take care near the drum door hinges and the fluff

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

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 required. 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 underwear) 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.

Drying

This dryer must only be installed and commissioned by a Miele authorised technician.

Before using for the first time

Before loading the dryer with laundry, wipe the internal drum surface with a soft, dry cloth.

Switch the machine on and load the drum.

Open all stopcocks for gas and steam as

applicable.

Switch on the on-site mains electricity switch.

Switch the dryer on by pressing the On/Off K

button in.
