Disposal of the packing
material
The packing material protects the
tumble dryer from transport damage.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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 therefore
dispose of the appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Chartered Agent
for advice.
Ensure that your old appliance 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 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 surfaces and the fluff filters
(see "Cleaning and Care").

~It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer conforms to current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the tumble dryer,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important information on its safety, installation,
use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
~This tumble dryer is designed for domestic use and for use in
similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
~This tumble dryer must only be used to dry items which have
been washed in a water solution and which are marked on the
manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying. "Dry
cleaning kits" for freshening up garments in a tumble dryer are
increasingly available on the market. If using, do so at your own risk,
and follow the instructions provided on the packaging.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
incorrect or improper use or operation of the tumble dryer.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~The tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
~This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst
using it or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person
responsible for their safety.
~This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Safety with children
~Keep children away from the tumble dryer at all times. It is not a
toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow them to play on or near it
or to play with its controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.
~Older children may only use it if its operation has been clearly
explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the
dangers of incorrect use.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Technical safety
~Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
~Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the
household 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).
~The heat pump technology in the
tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by a
compressor. It is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger
unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.
It is normal for humming noises caused by the heat pump
technology to be heard during the drying process. This does not
impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
–The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
–In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any
length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has
been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation").
~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).
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liabilty. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician.
~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.
~In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer
is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– 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 withdrawn.
~Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless
authorised to do so by Miele.
~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
,Caution! Risk of fire.
To avoid the possible danger of fire, please
read these warnings carefully.
,A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.
~Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
~To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles 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 which are still soiled with grease, oil or other
desposits (such as cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that
these might ignite when heated, even after they have been
removed from the dryer at the end of the programme.
–Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths) should
be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the tumble dryer.
–Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish remover or similar substances.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

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.
~Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
~To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles or products must
not be dried in this tumble dryer:
– Items which have been dry-cleaned (for example with a chemical
treatment).
–Fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or
rubber-like materials. For example, products made from latex
foam rubber, shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubberised articles
and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
–Fabrics 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~In many programmes, 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 programme is not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete.
Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before
removing the laundry.
~Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the
drying programme. If this was done, remove and spread out all
items quickly so that the heat is dissipated.
~Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
~The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have
been used to clean it.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~The tumble dryer must not be used
–without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged.
–without the fine filter in place or if the fine filters are damaged.
This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would
cause a fault!
~After every cycle, remove the fluff from the surfaces and the fluff
filters (see "Cleaning and care").
~Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
~The fluff filters and the fine filter must be thoroughly dried after
cleaning. Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults.
~Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of
frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the tumble
dryer may not be able to operate properly.
There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to
freeze in the pump and in the drain hose.
~If the water is drained externally through the drain hose instead of
being collected in the condensed water container, make sure the
drain hose is securely attached if you hang it in a sink or basin to
avoid the hose slipping and the water causing damage.
~Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health
problems in both people and animals.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff.
Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the
condenser unit over time.
~Do not lean on the door. This can cause the tumble dryer to tip
over.
~Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the
danger of
–children climbing onto or into the dryer or hiding things in it.
–pets or other small animals climbing into it.
~The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
tumble dryer. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance
and product liabilty claims may be invalidated.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
