Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packing material protects the dryer
from transport damages. The transport
and protective packing has been
selected from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
recycled.
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.
Therefore, please do not 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 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 the fluff
from the surfaces and the fluff filters
(see "Cleaning and Care").
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, or contact your Chartered
Agent for advice.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
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
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 in similar
working and residential environments
such as:

freshening up garments in a tumble
dryer are increasingly available on the
market. If using, 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 of the tumble
dryer..
This appliance is not intended for
~
use by persons (including children)

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 appliance,
~
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this
~
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present 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).
The heat pump technology in the
~
tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is
condensed by a compressor. It is led in
a closed circuit through the heat
exchanger unit where heat exchange
with the circulating drying air takes
place.
It is normal for humming noises caused
by the heat pump technology to be
heard during the drying process. This
does 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 connected to the
mains provided it has been
transported and installed correctly
(see "Installation").
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
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Unauthorised repairs could result in
~
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liabilty.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the tumble dryer be
guaranteed.
If the connection cable is faulty it
~
must only be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
~
purposes, the tumble dryer is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
This equipment may only be used in
~
mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
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 appliance 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
To avoid the possible danger of
,
fire please read these warnings
carefully.
A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
,
The lint filter must be cleaned after
every program.
Remove all objects from pockets
~
such as lighters and matches.
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
– 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 desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
Items that have been soiled with
–
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g.
mops and floor cloths)should be
washed in hot water with extra
amount of detergent before being
dried in the tumble dryer.
Items which have been splashed
–
with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
Oil-affected items can ignite
~
spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a
tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire.
Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected
items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer
they should first be washed in hot water
with extra detergent - this will reduce,
but not eliminate, the hazard.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
To prevent the risk of fire, the
~
following textiles or products must not
be dried in this tumble dryer:
Items which have been dry-cleaned
–
(for example with a chemical
treatment).
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.
– Fabrics which contain padding or
fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these
were damaged the filling could 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 is complete.
Ensure that you always wait until the
end of the programme before removing
the laundry.
Warning: Do not switch the tumble
~
dryer off before the end of the drying
programme. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately,
it could give off a great amount of heat.
Fabric conditioner and similar
~
products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's
packaging.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The tumble dryer must not be used
~
without the fluff filters in place or if
–
the fluff filters are damaged.
without the fine filters in place or if
–
the fine filters are damaged.
This would cause an excessive
build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault!
After every cycle remove the fluff
~
from the surfaces and the fluff filters
(see "Cleaning and Care").
Fluff must not be allowed to
~
accumulate around the tumble dryer.
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
occuring. 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
~
through the drain hose 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.
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.
Do not lean on the door. This can
~
cause the tumble dryer to tip over.
Always close the door after use.
~
This way you will avoid the danger of
children climbing onto or into the
–
dryer or hiding things in it.
pets or other small animals climbing
–
into it.
The tumble dryer must not be hosed
~
down.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts
~
and accessories with this tumble dryer.
If non-Miele parts are used, guarantee,
performance and product liabilty claims
may be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
