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. This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket (e.g. a
timer). There is a risk of the laundry igniting if the tumble dryer's safety cooling-down
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
remover, 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 re-
moving the laundry.
