Warning and Safety instructions

the appliance and an effective earthing Read the operating instructions carefully before using this appliance for the first time. They contain impor tant information about the safety, use and maintenance of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appli ance. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner of the machine.

Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an ex

Correct use

The tumble dryer is only intended

for drying fabrics which have been washed in a water solution, marked on the manufacturer’s wash care label as being suitable for tumble drying. Any other applications may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.

Technical safety

Before setting up the machine

check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a dam aged machine.

Before connecting the machine,

ensure that the connection data on the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre quency) matches the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali fied electrician.

The machine is built in accordance

with current safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved engineer. Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

Faulty components must only be

exchanged for Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the ma chine be guaranteed.

If the appliance is supplied from a

cord extension set or electrical por table outlet device the cord extension

set or electrical portable outlet device should be positioned so it is not subject

to splashing or ingress of moisture.

The electrical safety of this ma chine can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between

Warning and Safety instructions

If the mains cable becomes dam aged it must be replaced with a

Miele original cable.

In the event of a fault or for clean

ing purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

it is switched off at the wall socket

–

and the plug is withdrawn, or it is switched off at the mains, or

–

the mains fuse is withdrawn.

–

Operation

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Young children should be super-

vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not let small children play with

the machine or its controls. Super vise its use by the elderly or infirm.

This dryer must not be: –

connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use.

–

used without exhaust ducting.

–

used without the fluff filter in place or if the fluff filter is damaged in any way.

Check all parts of the extraction

system on a regular basis (e.g. wall vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure they are all

free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a free-flow of air through the system. If the dryer is to be connected to an existing ducting system this must be checked for suitability beforehand.

Adequate ventilation is essential,

especially where another appli ance which also uses the room air (eg gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. To en sure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maximum permissible. Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by an automatic window opening arrangement when the tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for gas, a gas fitter must be sought.

The exhaust air must not be vented

into a chimney or vent flue which is in use, nor should it be connnected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fire places. It would be dangerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were drawn back into the room.

Do not install the machine in a

room where the temperature may drop down to or below freezing. At very cold temperatures the machine may be difficult to start.

Always keep the area around the

machine free of dust and fluff.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the danger

of:

anyone sitting or leaning on the door,

–

which can cause the machine to tip up,

children climbing onto or into the

–

dryer or hiding things in it.

There is danger of fire with fabrics which:

contain a large proportion of rubber,

–

foam rubber or rubber like materials.

– have been treated with inflammable

cleaning agents.

– have been splashed with hair lac-

quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances.

– which contain padding or fillings

(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could leak with the risk of igniting in the dryer.

–

are soiled with oil or grease.

In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keep ing the appliance 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.

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following

should be observed:

Items that have been spotted or

–

soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite sponta neously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can be come hot enough to catch fire. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The "cool down" cycle of tumble dry

ers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tum ble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

Items that have been previously

–

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flam mable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances com monly used in a domestic environ ments include acetone, denatured al cohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), tur pentine, waxes and wax removers.

Items containing foam rubber (also

–

known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Warning and Safety instructions

Plastic articles such as shower caps

–

or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble

dryer. Rubber-backed articles, clothes fit

–

ted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tum ble dryer.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted

when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, per formance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

– Fabric softeners or similar products

should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static elec tricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufac turer of the fabric softener or product.

–

Undergarments that contain metal re inforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can re sult if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

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 can normally 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!

Rather than just throwing these materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old machines contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Before discarding an old machine unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appli ance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.

Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Energy saving tips

Make sure that your laundry is thor

oughly 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 (see "Programme chart").

Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing.

^ To avoid unecessarily long drying

times and high consumption of energy:

– Make sure the room in which the

dryer is located is well ventilated.

– Make sure the fluff filter is clean be-

fore using the dryer.

–

Check all parts of the ventilation sys tem on a regular basis and remove any build up of fluff etc.

The vent ducting should be as short, straight and smooth as possible to minimise any resistance to the air throughflow.

This helps to reduce running times and energy consumption levels.

How to dry correctly

Prepare the laundry

As far as possible, sort laundry for:

- the type of fibre or weave,

- the degree of dryness required,

- similar size of items,

- the moisture content after spinning.

This will help towards achieving an even drying result.

Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent small items from being rolled up inside them.

Do up zips, hooks and eyes etc. Tie fabric belts, apron strings. Sew in or remove underwiring from

bras.

Make sure there is no detergent dispenser ball etc. in with the laundry, as this could melt and damage the machine and the laundry.

Do not overload the drum. Over loading can cause unecessary wear and tear to the laundry and give a disappointing drying result.

See the "Programme chart" for maxi mum recommended loads.

Before closing the door check that

the fluff filter is correctly positioned in the door.

Load the drum

and switch on the dryer

Press the door button and open the door.

Load the laundry loosely into the drum.

When closing the door make sure items of laundry cannot be trapped by the door, as this will cause dam age to the laundry.

Shut the door either with a gentle swing or lean against it and push it shut.

Switch the dryer on by pressing the "l-On/0-Off" button.
