Caring for the environment
7
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with household waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with all current local and national
safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to per-
sonal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tumble
dryer. They contain important information on safety, installation,
use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and dam-
age to the tumble dryer.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the tumble dryer as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
 This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 This tumble dryer is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must be used only as a domestic appliance 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. If us-
ing dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instruc-
tions provided on the packaging.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held li-
able for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or opera-
tion.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or know-
ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the tumble
dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the tumble dryer unsu-
pervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the tumble
dryer unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the tumble dryer and do
not let them play with it.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Technical safety
 Please observe the instructions in “Installation” and the “Technical
data”.
 Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-
ible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
 Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electri-
cian.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply sys-
tem complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
 The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the household wiring
system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead, multi-socket adapter or similar. These can overheat
and are a fire hazard.
