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 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 dispose of it with your
household waste.
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.
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 the fluff
from the fluff filters (see "Cleaning
and Care").

~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 on-site 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).
~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.
~To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to
prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry
out maintenance on a regular basis.
~The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance. Please
also read the "Electrical connection" section.
~The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
~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.

~Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
–The tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is neither
flammable nor explosive.
–The noises caused by the heat pump during the drying process
are normal and do not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
–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 and installed correctly (see "Installation and
connection").
However, if it has not been transported as described, ensure that
the recommended standing time prior to first operation is
observed.
Warning and Safety instructions

~Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and "Technical data".
~The socket must be easily accessible after installation in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the electricity supply.
~For hard-wired machines, the all-pole isolator provided on-site
must be easily accessible after installation in order to disconnect the
tumble dryer from the electricity supply.
~Do not block the gap between the base of the dryer and the floor
with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. as this would hinder a
sufficient intake of air.
~Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
~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 appliance guarantee.
