Correct use


Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control elements of the
tumble dryer.

Always close the drum door after each drying cycle. This will prevent:
- Children climbing into the tumble dryer or hiding things in it.
- Pets or other small animals climbing into the tumble dryer.

Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust and fluff. If the air that is
taken into the machine contains dirt particles, this can cause blockages. A fault may then
occur and there is a risk of fire.

Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a damaged fluff filter. This
could lead to malfunctions. Fluff can clog the air channels, heating elements and vent
ducting, which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and re-
place the damaged fluff filter.

The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.

To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
- Clean the surface of the fluff filter after each drying cycle.
- In addition, the fluff filter and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by the
display.

Remove all items from the pockets of the laundry to be dried (e.g. lighters, matches,
keys).

The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many programmes are followed by
the cooling phase to ensure that the items of laundry are kept at a temperature that will not
cause them damage (for instance to prevent the risk of the laundry self-igniting). Always re-
move all items of laundry from the tumble dryer immediately after the cooling phase.

Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are
used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warn-
ing and Safety instructions.
