Disposal of the packaging
material
The cardboard box and packaging
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also the
amount of waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the
equipment. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Therefore, please
do not dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.
Observe safety requirements for
appliances that may tip over or pose an
entrapment hazard.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
In order to prevent fire, electric shock or injury to persons during
the use of this tumble dryer, you must observe the following vital
precautionary measures:
WARNING
This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 You must read all instructions before using the tumble dryer for
the first time.
 Children must not play with, on or inside the tumble dryer.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the tumble dryer.
Make sure the door of the tumble dryer is always closed in order to
avoid endangering children.
 If the tumble dryer is no longer in use and you wish to dispose of
it, remove the door.
 Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.
 Do not touch the drum whilst it is still rotating.
 Do not store or operate the tumble dryer outdoors.
 Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer.
 Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Do not make any
alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorized to do so by Miele.
Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician, otherwise there could be a considerable danger to the
user.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Important information regarding use of fabric softener sheets:
We do not recommend use of fabric softener sheets. Use of fabric
softener sheets can clog the surfaces of the lint filters, extending the
drying time and increasing energy consumption. During subsequent
cleaning, the plastic and surfaces of the lint filters can be damaged!
The best results are obtained by using liquid fabric softener in the
washing machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If you still wish to use fabric softener sheets, be sure to follow the
cleaning instructions under “Cleaning and care” in the “Cleaning
instructions when using fabric softener sheets” section.
Tip:
Using a fragrance capsule (optional accessory) will add a pleasant
fragrance to your laundry.
When a fragrance capsule is used, the fragrance is absorbed by the
entire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is
that the fragrance is sometimes only absorbed by a few items of
laundry, especially when drying a full load.
When you use a fragrance capsule, always follow the
warnings in this section as well as those under “Fragrance
capsule”.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be tumble
dried:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled
with grease, oil or other deposits (such as work clothes, kitchen
linens or cosmetics cloths with lubricants, cooking oils, grease,
lotions, etc, as there is a danger that they might ignite when
heated (chemical reaction), even after they have been removed
from the dryer at the end of the program.
- Items which have been washed or dry-cleaned using chemicals or
other flammable substances (e.g. professional dry-cleaning
agents). They could emit explosive fumes.
- Items that have been soiled with flammable or explosive cleaning
agents or substances containing acetone, alcohol, gasoline,
petroleum, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
- Items which have been soiled with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use a
larger quantity of detergent and select a high temperature. If in
doubt, wash the items several times.
- Items 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, rubberized
articles, and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
- Items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets) and
are damaged. The filling could fall out and cause a risk of fire.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 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 prevents the danger of the laundry
igniting). The program is not finished until after the cooling down
phase. It is advisable to remove all laundry as soon as the program
has finished.
 The lint filters must be cleaned before or after every drying cycle!
 Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located, particularly the
plinth area, free from dust and lint.
 The inside of the tumble dryer must be cleaned regularly by an
authorized specialist.
 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The electrical safety of this dryer can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and an effective grounding system.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and
regularly tested. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation
inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate grounding system. The electrical
socket must be easily accessible so that the dryer can be
disconnected from the electricity supply.
 WARNING – If the grounding conductor is connected incorrectly,
this can result in electric shock. Contact a qualified electrician if you
are unsure whether the appliance is properly grounded.
