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 dry-

ing 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 follow-

ing, 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 in-

flammable 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 ma-

chine 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 tempera­tures 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 ma-

chine and do not let them play with the
controls or operate it.

Make sure that the drum is stationary be-

fore 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 com­plete 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 ex-

changed 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 com-

ponents, 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 remov-

able 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 con-

tain 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, with­out 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.

Open all doors and windows.
Close any shut off valves at the gas con-

nection 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 commis-

sioning, 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.

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.

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.
