Do not expose the dryer to air which is contaminated with vapour of chlorine, fluorine or
other solvents. Danger of fire.
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.
Danger of squashing or cutting fingers etc. around the drum door hinges and the fluff fil-
ter cover. Use the appropriate handles and release catches only.
Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry. Do
not touch the drum whilst it is still rotating.
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.
Technical safety
This tumble dryer must only be set up and commissioned by a Miele Service technician
or authorised Miele Service Dealer.
Before installation check the tumble dryer for any obvious damage. A damaged tumble
dryer must not be installed and/or used.
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Miele.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the power supply by an extension lead (fire hazard
due to overheating).
Do not operate the tumble dryer in a room where cleaning machines operate with
solvents containing CFCs. During combustion, any vapours that are emitted will break
down into hydrochloric acid, leading to consequential damage affecting laundry and the
machine. Air exchange must not take place between rooms if machines are set up in sep-
arate rooms.
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.
