Warning and Safety instructions
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 is not suitable for outdoor use.
It 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. 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
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) matches
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).

Warning and Safety instructions

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 7.0 kg (dry weight). See
the “Programme chart” for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programmes.
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

Warning and Safety instructions
Warning: Ensure that you always wait until the end of the
programme before removing the laundry. If the drying programme is
stopped prematurely, remove the laundry immediately and hang it up
or spread it out to cool it down.
Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to
the instructions on the manufacturer's packaging.
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).
– 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.
– Damaged fabrics 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.

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.
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.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.

Cool air taken in for the drying process

that the room has sufficient ventilation,
