Warning and Safety instructions
 It is essential to read these instructions.

This tumble dryer complies with current local and national 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 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
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst
using it or have been shown how to use it by a person responsible
for their safety.
Safety with children

 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
 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.
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).
6
 Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by

an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
 If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved 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 authorised service technician, otherwise any
subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
Miele replacement parts are used.
 In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer is
only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker.
 This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (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 “Technical data”.
 The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured in order to
separate 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 tumble dryer.
 Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
7
 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 for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting.
Correct use
 Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials.
To avoid the possible danger of fire, please read these warnings

carefully.
 A clogged filter is a fire hazard!

The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme.
 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
 Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when

exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or hair care products, be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
 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
desposits (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 that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g. mops and floor cloths).
– 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).
9
 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.
10
 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.
11
 A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked on top of a Miele washing

machine using the appropriate stacking kit (available as an optional
accessory). Please make sure you order the correct one for the Miele
washing machine and Miele tumble dryer.

compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
