Read the operating instructions
before using this machine for the
first time. They contain important
information about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. Doing
so will prevent injury and damage to
the dryer.
Save these instructions and pass
them on to any future user.
WARNING - To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock or injury:
Use
The dryer is intended for drying
clothes washed in water. Only dry
clothes with a fabric care label stating it
is safe for tumble drying.
Other uses may be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
improper use of the appliance.
Technical Safety
Check the packaging, the dryer
and accessories for any signs of
damage. Do not use a damaged
appliance.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and
frequency) matches the mains
electrical supply. If in doubt contact an
electrician.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity exists between the
machine and an effective grounding
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified technician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
which is the direct or indirect result of
incorrect installation or connection.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply by an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Incorrectly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the user
which are not covered by the
manufacturer. Repairs should only be
performed by a Miele approved
engineer.
Faulty components must only be
replaced with genuine Miele spare
parts. Only genuine Miele spare parts
can guarantee the safe operation of this
machine.
A faulty power cord must be
replaced by a genuine Miele power
cord.
Before maintenance or cleaning
and care disconnect the dryer from
the electrical supply pulling the plug or
tripping the circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use
The installation of this unit at non
stationary locations (e.g. ships)
must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency, in strict
accordance with national and local
safety regulations and standards.
The dryer must not be used without
an exhaust duct.
The dryer must not used without
the lint filter in place or with a
damaged lint filter.
Check regularly on the exhaust
parts (e.g. wall vent duct, louvered
wall vent, bends etc.) for air
permeability. Lint can collect and block
the air flow.
If an exhaust hose is already installed, it
should be checked before connected
to the dryer.
Danger of suffocation or
toxication Adequate ventilation is
essential, especially when another
appliance which also uses the room air
(e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heater,
continuous flow or other water heater) is
installed in the same or an adjacent
room. Allow sufficient room ventilation
by unlockable ventilation openings in
the wall.
Check with your building inspector for a
riskless use to avoid a low pressure of
4 Pa or more.
Never connect an exhaust duct to
an active chimney, vent flue or
room venting ductwork. Danger of
toxication by draw back of exhaust
fumes.
When installing multiple dryers to
one collective exhaust duct, a
non-return flap per dryer must be
installed directly to the collective duct.
Otherwise the dryers could be
damaged and the electrical safety
affected.
Keep the area where the dryer is
installed free from lint, dust and
dirt.
Do not install the machine in rooms
where temperatures below freezing
may occur.
