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 should 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
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 appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose it with
your household waste.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
Make sure that your laundry is
–
thoroughly 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.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Make sure the fluff filters are clean
before using the dryer.
– Check the condenser unit from time
to time and clean it when necessary.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste recycling centre or
contact your dealer for advice. Ensure
that it presents no danger to children
while being stored for disposal.

It is essential to read these instructions.
~
This tumble dryer conforms to current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the tumble dryer,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important information on its safety, installation,

7
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
~
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection
~
data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
~
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
~
an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from
danger.
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. Ensure
current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
~
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.
The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
~
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
~
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless
~
authorised to do so by Miele.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
~
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer
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 guarantee.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
~
in this appliance:
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 cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
these might self-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, benzine, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items, ensure that you use
additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt,
wash the items several times.
Remove all items such as lighters and matches from pockets.
~
Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the drying
~
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung
up or spread out to cool it down.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Danger.
~
This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g. a timer switch or a peak load shut-off device).
If the dryer programme were to be interrupted before the end of the
cooling down phase, the laundry could self-combust.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following must not be tumble dried:
~
items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g.
–
professional dry-cleaning agents).
fabrics 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
igniting in the dryer.
In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling
~
down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when
you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry
self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down
phase has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
~
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
~
tumble dryer to tip up.
Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the
~
danger of:
–
children climbing into the dryer or hiding things in it.
–
pets or other small animals climbing into it.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if
~
the fluff filters are damaged in any way.
The fluff filters must be cleaned regularly.
~
The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place.
~
The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. Damp or
~
wet filters could cause operational faults.
Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
~
frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble
dryer may not be able to operate properly. There is a risk of damage
if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and in the
drain hose. The ambient room temperature should be between +2°C
and +35°C.
If the water is drained externally instead of being collected in the
~
condensed water container, make sure the drain hose is securely
attached if you hang it in a sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping
and the water causing damage.
Condensed water is not drinking water.
~
It can cause health problems in both people and animals.
Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
~
fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the
condenser unit over time.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
~

Tips on drying
– Always observe the maximum
recommended loads given in the
"Programme chart". Never overload
the drum.
Overloading can cause unnecessary
wear and tear to the laundry, give a
disappointing drying result and
cause more creasing.
–
Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Spin fabrics for at least
30 seconds before drying.
–
Open jackets
