Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material
The cardboard box and packing
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these
materials improperly by disposing of
them in your household waste can be
harmful to your health and the
environment. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste and follow
local regulations on proper disposal.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
WARNING
This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 It is essential to read all instructions before using the appliance.
 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.
 Before this appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
 Do not install or use a dryer with visible damage.
 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.

IMPORTANT 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 flacon (optional accessory) will add a pleasant
fragrance to your laundry.
When a fragrance flacon is used, the fragrance is acquired by the
entire load of laundry. The disadvantage of fabric softener sheets is
that under certain circumstances the fragrance is acquired by only a
few items of laundry, especially when drying a full load.
When you use a fragrance flacon, always follow the warnings
in this section as well as those under “Fragrance flacon”.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this dryer:
- items which have not been washed.
- items, such as work-wear, exposed to grease, oils, or other
deposits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these
items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that
they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the
laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the
dryer.
- items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances. They may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
- items treated with flammable cleaning agents or items containing
acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain remover, wax or chemicals from
buffing, etc.
- items which have been splashed with hair spray, nail polish
remover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items ensure that sufficient
detergent is used with a high temperature. If in doubt wash the
item several times.
- items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
- items with padding or filling (e.g. pillows or jackets) which have
been damaged. Loose filling could catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Allow the dryer to complete each stage of the program selected,
including the cooling down phase. This will ensure that the items
being removed are not too hot to handle.
 Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
 Keep the area around the air intake (toe kick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
 The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by
qualified personnel.
 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged 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.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized
with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with national and local codes.
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
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
