,WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
~It is essential to read all instructions
before using this appliance.
This machine conforms to current
safety requirements. However,
inappropriate use can lead to
personal injury and property
damage. Read the operating
instructions carefully before using
this machine.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
non-observance of these Important
Safety Instructions.
~The tumble dryer is only intended for
drying fabrics washed in a water
solution. Check fabric care labels to
verify materials can be machine dried.
~Before maintenance, or cleaning
and care disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply pulling the plug or
tripping the circuit breaker.
~Do not allow children to play on or in
the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used
near children. Always close the door
after use to prevent child hazards.
~Make sure that no unattended
children can access the machine.
There is a potential danger that children
can be trapped in the drum. This may
cause major injuries or the death of the
child.
~Do not reach into the dryer if the
drum is moving.
~Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to the weather.
~Do not tamper
with the controls.
~Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in
these operating instructions. Repairs to
electrical appliances should only be
performed by qualified personnel.
Incorrectly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the user.
~Clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
~Keep the area around the exhaust
opening (toekick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free of lint, dust and
dirt.
~The interior of the machine and
exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified personnel.
~Only use genuine Miele accessories
and replacement parts. If other parts
are used, guarantee, performance and
product liability claims may become
void.

~To prevent the risk of fire, the
following articles 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 are
still soiled with grease, oil or other
substances (such as cosmetics,
lotions, etc.)
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that they
could ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the program.
– items that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
wax, wax remover, chemicals for
buffing (e.g. mops and floor cloths)
or other flammable or explosive
substances. They may give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
– items which have been spattered
with 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.
~To prevent the risk of fire, the
following articles or items must not be
dried in this tumble dryer:
–fabrics which contain a large amount
of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like
materials. For example, products
made from latex, shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubberized
articles, and items of clothing and
pillows with foam rubber filling, or
similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
–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 programs, 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 program is
not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete.
Always wait until the end of the
program before removing the laundry.
~Warning: Do not switch the tumble
dryer off before the end of the drying
program. If this was done and the
laundry was then removed immediately
it could give off a great amount of heat.
~Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.

conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
~WARNING – Improper connection of
the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
~Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance: if it will not fit the
