 Warning and Safety instructions

 It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with 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 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
using dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the
instructions provided on the packaging.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held
liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.

5
Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown
how to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the
consequences 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
unsupervised 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.

6
 Warning and Safety instructions

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 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
electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement 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.
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
 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, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety
of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
7
Warning and Safety instructions

 This tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).
 Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised
to do so by Miele.
 Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"
and the "Technical data".
 The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to
disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.
 Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
 Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
 This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable
for room lighting.

Correct use
 The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 kg (dry weight).
The maximum recommended loads for individual programmes are
given in the Programme chart.
 To prevent the risk of fire, do not connect the tumble dryer via a
controllable socket (e.g. a timer or a peak-load switch-off device).
If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling
down phase, this could cause the laundry to self-ignite.

8
 Warning and Safety instructions

 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
deposits (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 (e.g. mops and floor cloths) which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of
acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover,
turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
varnish remover or similar substances.
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.

 Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

 Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying
programme has finished. If this is done, the laundry must be hung up
or spread out to cool it down.
 Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according
to the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.

9
Warning and Safety instructions

 To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried
in this tumble dryer:
– Items which have been cleaned using chemicals (e.g. professional
dry-cleaning agents).
– 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, rubberised articles
and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling.
– Damaged items which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows,
jackets). When damaged, the filling can get out with the risk of it
igniting in the dryer.
 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
has been completed.
As soon as the programme has finished, remove all laundry from the
drum.
 Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the
tumble dryer to tip up.
 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.

10
 Warning and Safety instructions

 The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if
the fluff filters are damaged in any way.
 The fluff filters must be cleaned regularly.
 The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place.
 The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after wet cleaning. Do not
replace them if they are damp or wet. 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 hoses.
 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 if
consumed.
 Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and
fluff.
Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the heat
exchanger over time.
 The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.

11
Warning and Safety instructions

Accessories
 Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
this appliance. If non-Miele parts are used, warranty, performance
and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 The tumble dryer can be combined with a Miele washing machine
in a washer-dryer stack. The appropriate "WTV" stacking kit
(available to order) to match your tumble dryer and washing machine
is required.
 If you order a plinth for this tumble dryer (available from Miele as
an optional accessory - depending on country), make sure it is the
correct one.
