Warning and Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions through before using this machine for the first time. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.

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.

There is a danger of fire with the following, and on no account should they be

dried in this machine:

–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.

–Kitchen overalls which may be greasy, fatty or impregnated with other residues.

Do not dry mops, floor cloths etc in this machine if they contain substances such as

wax or chemical cleaning agents.

Padded or filled fabrics (eg. jackets or cushions) should not be dried. If the filling

falls out it could cause a fire.

Some textiles get very hot during drying and there may be a risk of high tempera-

tures causing them to ignite in exceptional circumstances. They should therefore be taken out of the machine as soon as the programme has finished and as soon as possible if there has been a power cut. It is advisable to keep a fire extinguisher near the machine at all times.

The washing must not be taken from the dryer before the drying programme has finished, ie, the cooling down phase must

be completed.

If hot laundry items are stacked or packed they can be liable to auto-combustion.

Do not let children play in or near the machine and do not let them play with the

controls or operate it.

Make sure that the drum is stationary before removing laundry. Never put you hand

into a drum that is still moving.

Repairs to machines operated by gas, steam or electricity must only be carried

out by fully trained and qualified service engineers. Unauthorized repairs could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is com-

plete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations.

It is most important that this basic safety requirement is regularly tested by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer can not be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

The machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply either when it is

switched off at the wall switch or when the mains fuses are withdrawn from the distribution board.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety components, fixtures and control

elements of this machine.

Where there is any damage to the controls or to the cable insulation the machine

must not be used until it has been repaired.

Faulty components must only be exchanged for Miele original spare parts.

Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.

Do not touch the steam pipework and components, there is a danger of being burnt.

When disposing of an old machine, make the door lock inoperative and remove the fluff filter access panel. This should prevent children at play from being accidentally locked

in and endangering their lives.

Only use the machine if all of the removable outer housing parts are in place. This

way any moving parts or electrical components cannot be accessed.

Fire and Explosion risk

Never use or store petrol or petroleum based substances or any easily inflammable substances near the machine.

Fire risk

Do not use the machine without the built-in fluff filter in place. If the fluff filter is damaged it must be replaced immediately.

A build up of fluff could block the air flow heating and ventilation, and impair the efficiency of the machine.

Warning and Safety instructions

Disinfecting and cleaning agents often contain chlorides (salts). If these substances

dry onto the steel surfaces the residual chlorides attack the steel and can cause rusting.

To protect your machine from rust damage we recommend only using chloride free disinfecting and cleaning agents for washing and disinfecting and for cleaning the machine. If you are not sure about a particular agent contact the manufacturer for advice.

If you accidentally spill an agent containing chloride on the machine it should be rinsed off with water and dried with a soft cloth.

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

In the event of a fault or for cleaning and maintenance the gas control valve must be shut and the gas emergency control at the

meter shut off.

Caution If the tumble dryer switches off prematurely during the drying cycle, with-

out the fault indication light showing, this could be due to high temperatures in the area of the motor.

Heater limiters stop the tumble dryer.

In this case please check the seals and locks on the machine door and the fluff filter. Check the condition of the air inlet and air outlet vents. If no damage is evident to any of

the parts checked, the dryer can be re-started.

If the fault occurs again, call the approved Service engineer.

Safety precautions to take if you smell gas

-For gas heated dryers only-

(Natural gas usually has no smell of its own. In the U.K. a smell is added by British Gas for safey reasons).

If you smell gas you must act immediately.

Extinguish any flames.

Do not create any electrical sparks:

e.g. do not insert or withdraw any electrical plugs or operate electrical switches such as lights and door bells.

Do not enter a room with an open light where there is the smell of gas.

Do not light cigarette lighters or matches.

Do not smoke.

Open all doors and windows.

Close any shut off valves at the gas connection meter or mains supply immediately.

Shut off the gas-valve next to the machine.

If all gas valves are closed but there is still the smell of gas in the room you should call you local gas board immediately.

Important! Before signing off any commissioning, maintenance, conversion or repair

work as finished, all gas pipework from the manual isolating valve to the burner nozzles must be checked for soundness.

Pay special attention to the test points on the multifunction control, the connection pressure monitor and the burner setting pressure.

The tests must be carried out with the burner switched on and switched off.

Accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

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

Keep these operating instructions in a safe 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 and can normally be recycled. Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.

Disposal 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.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre, and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless, and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details.
