Warning and Safety instructions

Please read the operating instruc-
tions before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain im-
portant information about the safety,
use and maintenance of the ma-
chine. This will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics, which have
been washed in a water solution,
marked on the manufacturer's wash
care label as being suitable for tumble
drying. Any other applications may be
dangerous. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from im-
proper use or operation.
Do not let small children play with the
machine and its controls or operate it.
Please supervise its use by the elderly
or infirm.
Technical safety
Check for visible external damage
before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
machine or appliance.
Before connecting the machine, en-
sure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.

The electrical safety of this ma-
chine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer can not be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
For safety reasons do not use an
extension cable. There is a danger
of overheating.
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-
foreseen dangers for the user, for
which the manufacturer can not accept
responsibility. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved engin-
eer.
In the event of a fault or for clean-
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply either when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or:
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma-
chine be guaranteed.
The appliance should never be
operated without the furniture front
panel in place.
