Foreseeable misuse

Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.

Do not lean on the tumble-dryer door. Otherwise, the tumble dryer may tip over, causing

injury to yourself or others.
Do not use a pressure washer or water jet to clean the tumble dryer.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults

and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near

the machine. Danger of explosion.
Do not expose the dryer to air which is contaminated with vapour of chlorine, fluorine or

other solvents. Danger of fire.
Fire hazard due to controllable socket. This tumble dryer must not be connected to a

controllable socket (e.g. a timer). There is a risk of the laundry self-igniting if the tumble
dryer's cooling phase is interrupted.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be dried in this tumble dryer:

- Items which have not been washed.
- Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or
other deposits (such as kitchen linens or cosmetics cloths with cooking oils, grease, lo-
tions, etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might
ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the tumble dryer at the end
of the programme.
- Items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with inflammable cleaning
agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain re-
mover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
- Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
Wash heavily soiled items thoroughly by increasing the amount of detergent and selecting a
high washing temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.
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 is
complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the
laundry.
