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.

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

– Make sure that the room temperature

is not too high. If there are other heat producing appliances in the room in which the dryer is located, make sure the room is well ventilated and switch the other appliances off, if possible.

– After every cycle remove fluff from

the surfaces of the fluff filters.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This tumble dryer is not designed for commercial use. It is

intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.

The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.

It must only be used as a domestic appliance to dry items which

have been washed in a water solution and which are marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. If using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions provided on the packaging. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, if they are are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble

dryer unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use, clean or maintain the

tumble dryer without supervision if they have been shown how to do so in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

The tumble dryer is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not

allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the controls.

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.

– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do

not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.

– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

length of time before it is put into operation provided it has been transported correctly (see "Installation"). However, if it has not been transported as described, ensure that the recommended standing time prior to first operation is observed. Otherwise the heat pump can be damaged.

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.

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

The tumble dryer must not be used:

without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in

–

any way.

without the fine filters in place of if the fine filters are damaged in

–

any way.

This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault.

After every cycle remove fluff from the surfaces of the fluff filters.

The fluff filters and the fine 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.

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 heat exchanger unit over time.

The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.

Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with

this tumble dryer. If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
