Disposing of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally 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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
recycled.
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 dispose of it with your
general 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 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.
~Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the on-site wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~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 liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. If this is not
done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
~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.

clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
~To ensure the correct performance of the appliance and to
prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to check it and carry
out maintenance on a regular basis.
