This dryer is only intended for industrial or institutional use and should not be used by anyone who is not specially trained to operate it. This also applies to industrial applications performed in residential environments.

This machine conforms to current safety requirements. However, inappropriate installation and use can lead to personal injury and property damage. Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before using this machine.

Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous

Improper use of the appliance can lead to personal injury and material damage.

All personnel working with this machine must be fully trained in all aspects of its use and safety.

Proper use of the dryer

The dryer is only intended for drying fabrics that were washed with water as a cleaning agent. Check fabric care labels to verify that the articles can be machine dried.

To prevent fire, do not dry the following (with the exception of the textiles permitted in the special programs):

–Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or rubber-like materials.

–Articles that have been treated with flammable cleaning agents.

–Articles that have been contaminated with hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

–Articles that may be greasy, oily or that may contain other residues, e.g. kitchen or salon laundry.

–Mops, floor cloths, etc. if they contain substances such as wax or chemical cleaning agents.

–Damaged padded or filled fabrics such as jackets or cushions.

–Articles that are not sufficiently clean and are soiled with grease or oil. Wash very dirty articles (e.g. work clothing) with a special detergent. For information in this regard, consult a cleaning agent retailer.

With sensitive fabrics there may be a danger of them spontaneously combusting if dried too long. Immediately remove the laundry at the end of the drying program and after a power failure.

Keep a fire extinguisher near the dryer.

The laundry must not be removed from the dryer until the cooling down phase has been completed.

If hot laundry items are stacked or packed they could spontaneously combust.

Empty all pockets so that no flammable items such as lighters, matches, candles and cosmetics end up in the dryer.

If the dryer is operated in a publicly accessible area, the operator must ensure the safe use of the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

The dryer is only intended for drying fabrics that were washed with water as a cleaning agent.

Operate the dryer only if an exhaust air duct is connected and the room is adequately ventilated.

Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Do not let children play in, on or near the dryer. Do not let them play with the controls or operate the unit.

Always close the door after loading or unloading the dryer, to prevent:

–children from climbing into the dryer, or hiding small items in the dryer.

–small animals from climbing into the dryer.

Do not operate the appliance if the control panel, wires or cables are damaged.

Do not damage, remove, or bypass any of the safety features and controls of the dryer.

Do not operate the dryer when housing parts have been removed and the moving or electrical parts are exposed and accessible.

High temperatures occur at the window and frame of the drum door. The laundry is extremely hot if it is removed too soon. Burn hazard!

Do not touch the steam components (depending on model). Scalding hazard!

Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Never put your hand into a drum that is still moving.

Take care not to pinch or cut your fingers on the hinges of the drum door or lint flap. Use the handles.

The area necessary to open the drum door completely must not be obstructed by doors or other structures.

Do not use the dryer without the built-in lint filter in place. Fire hazard!

If the lint filter is damaged it must be replaced immediately.

Never use or store gasoline, petroleum-based substances or other easily flammable substances near the machine. Fire and explosion hazard!

A build-up of lint will block the airflow, heating and ventilation, which will impair the efficiency of the dryer. Be sure to clean the lint filter before or after each load.

Do not use a power washer to clean the dryer.

Remove the door to the drying compartment before the appliance is removed for service or discarded.

Disinfection and cleaning agents often contain chlorine compounds. If these agents dry on stainless steel it will cause it to rust. To protect the dryer use only chlorine-free disinfection and cleaning agents for laundering and disinfecting, and for cleaning the stainless steel surfaces. If in doubt about a cleaning agent, contact the manufacturer. If an agent containing chlorine is spilled, wash it off with water and dry with a soft cloth.

Electrical safety

Be certain this appliance is properly installed and grounded by an authorized technician. For electrical safety this machine must be grounded . It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be tested by a qualified electrician. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the work area.

Repairs to electrical and gas appliances should only be carried out by a Miele Service Technician in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Unauthorized repairs could cause injury or machine damage.

Use only genuine Miele parts. Use of non-Miele parts may impair performance and void any guarantees.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for assistance.

Do not operate the dryer in a room where cleaning machines operate with solvents containing CFC. Vapors from combustion turn into hydrochloric acid which damages laundry and dryer. When operated in a separate room, there must be no air exchange possible. Make sure the dryer is supplied with clean fresh air only.

The air intake opening is located on the back of the dryer. Never block this opening. Therefore, do not cover the dryer top with any blankets or sheets.

The dryer needs timely and professional maintenance to prevent performance loss, malfunctions and the risk of fire.

Drying

Before first use

Wipe the interior of the drum with a soft dry cloth

Preparing the laundry

Not all fabrics are suitable for drying in a tumble dryer. Check the manufacturer’s instructions on the fabric care label.

= Dry at normal temperature

= Dry at low temperature

= Do not tumble dry

Sort the laundry by fabric type and color. This will ensure even drying results and will prevent damage to fabrics.

To prevent fire, do not dry the following

(with the exception of the textiles permitted in the special programs):

Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or rubber-like materials.

Articles that have been treated with flammable cleaning agents.

Articles that have been contaminated with hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

Articles that may be greasy, oily or saturated with other residues, e.g. kitchen or salon laundry.

Mops, floor cloths, etc. if they contain substances such as wax or chemical cleaning agents.

Damaged padded or filled fabrics, like jackets or cushions.

Articles that are not sufficiently clean and are soiled with grease or oil. Wash very dirty articles (e.g. work clothing) with a special detergent.

Important drying information:

–Articles made from pure wool and wool mixtures may become matted. Dry these with the Woolens program only.

–Pure linen may become rough with tumble drying. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions before drying.

–Items with metal buckles, hooks, snaps, zippers, etc. should be put into the dryer in a cloth bag (e.g. pillow case) to protect the drum from scratches and dents.

–Articles with closed metal zippers may cause a short at the sensor electrodes on the drum ribs, so that the drying process ends too late or does not end at all. These items should be dried with the zippers open.

–Loop knit materials tend to shrink. Over-drying increases this effect. Do not use the highest dry program for such fabrics.

–Starched laundry can be tumble dried. Select a program with a suitable residual moisture 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.

–Pillow cases and duvet covers should be buttoned to prevent smaller items from getting caught inside them.

–For cost efficiency, only dry full loads. Overloading provides poor drying results and has an adverse effect on fabrics.

–If the washing machine's last rinse cycle is with warm water, a shorter drying time will be required due to the lower residual moisture and the residual heat in the laundry.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the lint filter

Clean the lint filter at least once a day and when the "Clean lint filter" display shows. A clogged filter is a fire hazard!

Open the lint filter flap.

Do not remove the lint filter.

Wipe the lint off the filter with your hand (do not use any sharp objects). Scoop out the lint and be careful not to damage the filter.

Do not use the machine without the built-in filter in place.

This is a fire hazard.

If the lint filter is damaged it must be replaced immediately.

A build-up of lint could block the airflow, heating and ventilation, and may impair the efficiency of the machine.

Dryer

Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the dryer from the power supply by shutting off the power main or tripping the circuit breaker.

With gas-heated dryers, the manual gas shut-off valve and the shut-off device at the gas meter must be closed; with steam-heated dryers the steam shut-off valve must be closed.

Do not use a high pressure cleaner or water jet to clean the machine.

Use a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft cloth to clean the housing, the control panel and the plastic parts, then dry with a soft cloth.

After drying starched laundry, clean the drum with a soft, moist cloth.

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic cleaners. They will damage the surface.

Check the gasket and lock of the drum door and the lint filter flap.

The air intake opening is located on the back of the dryer. Never block this opening. Do not cover the dryer top with any blankets or cloths.

Keep the area surrounding the dryer, especially around the air intake opening, clear of lint to ensure clean air intake. Lint will settle in the dryer and cause malfunctions.

Check and clean once a year

–Heat coils and heat duct (for electric heated dryers), burner and the burner compartment (for gas heated dryers),

–The complete dryer interior

–The impeller of the exhaust vent

–The vent duct and air outlet to the outside

Clean any lint away with a vacuum.

The machine needs timely and professional maintenance to prevent operation power loss, malfunctions and danger of fire.

Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for maintenance work.
