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.
Recycling packaging materials saves
raw materials and reduces the amount
of waste produced.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc are 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 general waste.
Please contact your local community
waste collection/recycling centre.
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 the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– Remove the fluff from the filter when
necessary (see "Cleaning and Care").
– Check all parts of the ventilation
system on a regular basis, and
remove any build-up of fluff etc.
The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.

Technical safety
~Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
~Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless
authorised to do so by Miele.
~The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when it is 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 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 o repair work
has been carried out.

original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the appliance be guaranteed.

–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 disconnected.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
~Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up. Danger of injury.
~Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the
danger of:
–children climbing onto or into the appliance or hiding things in it.
–pets or other small animals climbing into it.
~Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer.
~Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages over
time. Faults can then occur as well as the risk of fire.
~The tumble dryer must only be used when it is connected to a
suitable ducting system. The installation site must be adequately
ventilated.
~The ducting must not be connected to
– a chimney or vent flue which is in use,
– or to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces,
–or to chimneys being used by other appliances.
Smoke or exhaust fumes can cause poisoning.
~Check all parts of the extraction system on a regular basis (e.g.
wall vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure
they are all free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a
free flow of air through the system. If the tumble dryer is to be
connected to an existing ducting system, this must be checked for
suitability beforehand.
