Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate‐
rial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur‐
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
ten contain valuable materials. They al‐
so contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially hazardous to human health and
to the environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance. Please do not therefore
dispose of it with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.
Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
Make sure that your laundry is thor‐
oughly spun before drying. The high‐
er the spin, the greater the savings
that can be made in energy and time
during drying.
Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. Under‐
loading is uneconomical. Overload‐
ing gives a poorer quality of drying
and may cause unnecessary creas‐
ing.
Make sure the room temperature is
not too high. If there are other heat
producing appliances in the room in
which the dryer is located, make sure
the room is well ventilated and switch
the other appliances off, if possible.
After every cycle remove the fluff
from the surfaces of the fluff filters.

Warning and Safety instructions
5
It is essential to read these instructions.
This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements. Inap‐
propriate 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 us‐
ing dry cleaning kits, do so at your own risk, and follow the instruc‐
tions provided on the packaging.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held lia‐
ble for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
6
This tumble dryer can only be used by people with reduced physi‐
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowl‐
edge, if they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and understand and recognise the conse‐
quences 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 unsu‐
pervised 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 dry‐
er 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 visi‐
ble 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 electri‐
cian.
Reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer can only be as‐
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re‐
quirement 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 guarantee.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele origi‐
nal 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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 author‐
ised to do so by Miele.
Heat pump technology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is con‐
densed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the
heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying
air takes place.
The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do
not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any
length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has
been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation and
connection").
If it has not been transported as described, ensure that the rec‐
ommended standing time prior to first operation is observed. Oth‐
erwise the heat pump can be damaged.
This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. They
are hermetically sealed.
Designation: R 134a
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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 depos‐
its (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thor‐
oughly 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 ace‐
tone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpen‐
tine, 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 suffi‐
cient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash
the items several times.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
Warning: Do not switch the dryer off before the drying pro‐
gramme 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.
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. professio‐
nal 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.
