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.
– 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.
Damaged padded or filled fabrics (eg.
jackets or cushions) should not be dried. If
the filling comes 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. Keep a
fire extinguisher near the machine.
The laundry must not be taken out of 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 could self-ignite.
Always make sure the drum is stationary
before reaching in to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
Repairs to the machine must only be
carried out by fully trained and qualified
service engineers. Unauthorised repairs could
be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this machine can
only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national
regulations.
It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is regularly tested, and where
there is any doubt the on-site wiring should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing
system.
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when it is
switched off at the wall isolator, or the distribution board circuit breaker.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety features and controls on the
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 original Miele spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be guaranteed.
Do not touch the connecting pipework and
components. There is a danger of being
burnt.
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 benzine, petrol or petroleum based substances or any easily inflammable substances near the machine.
Peripel should not be stored 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
have compounds containing chlorides in
them. If these agents dry onto the steel surfaces, the residual chlorides will attack the
steel and can cause rusting.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chloride on the machine it should be rinsed off
with water and dried with a soft cloth.
To protect your machine from rust damage we
recommend only using chloride free
disinfecting and cleaning agents. If you are not
sure about a particular agent contact the
manufacturer for advice.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or
water jet to clean the machine.
Caution If the tumble dryer switches off
prematurely during the drying cycle,
without the fault indicator light showing, this
could be due to high temperatures in the area
around 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 G3 Systems.
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.
