Warning and Safety instructions

This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g.
temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special
lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the
Miele Customer Service Department.

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.

Do not use a pressure washer or water jet to clean 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.

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.

Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost. At temperatures
around freezing point, the tumble dryer may not be able to operate properly. The permitted
room temperature is between 2 °C and 40 °C.
