• Page 9 - English - : Warning and Safety instructions In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes the tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn or it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker This tumble dryer must not be installed and operated in mobile installations eg on a ship Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer unless authorised to do so by Miele Heat pump technology and refrigerant The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant The refrigerant which is brought to a higher temperature and liquefied by condensing is transferred in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange takes place with the circulating drying air Damage to the tumble dryer by switching it on too soon This can damage the heat pump After setting up the tumble dryer wait for at least one hour before switching it on The humming noises caused by the heat pump during the drying process are normal They do not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive
• Page 10 - English - : Warning and Safety instructions Please observe the instructions in Installation and Technical data The plug and socket must be accessible at all times in order to be able to disconnect the tumble dryer from the power supply Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth facings deep pile carpet etc This would hinder a sufficient flow of air to the tumble dryer Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation
• Page 11 - English - : Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Warning Risk of fire Flammable materials To avoid the possible danger of fire please read these warnings carefully A clogged filter is a fire hazard The fluff filter must be cleaned after every programme The maximum load for this tumble dryer is 80 kg dry weight See the Programme chart for the maximum recommended loads for individual programmes To prevent the risk of fire do not connect the tumble dryer via a controllable socket eg a timer or a peakload switchoff device If the drying programme is interrupted before the end of the cooling down phase this could cause the laundry to selfignite
• Page 12 - English - : Warning and Safety instructions To prevent the risk of fire the following textiles must not be dried in this tumble dryer Items which have not been washed Items which have been cleaned using chemicals eg professional drycleaning agents Items such as workwear which have not been thoroughly cleaned and which are still soiled with grease oil or other desposits such as cosmetics lotions etc If items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that these might ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the dryer at the end of the programme Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil acetone petrol kerosene spot removers turpentine waxes wax removers and other chemicals eg mops and floor cloths Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer hair spray nail varnish remover or similar substances Fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber foam rubber or rubberlike materials For example products made from latex foam rubber shower caps waterproof textiles rubberised articles and items of clothing and pillows with foam rubber filling Damaged fabrics which contain padding or fillings eg pillows jackets When damaged the filling can get out with the risk of it igniting in the dryer When washing such heavily soiled items ensure that you use sufficient detergent and select a high temperature If in doubt wash the items several times
• Page 13 - English - : Warning and Safety instructions Oilaffected items can ignite spontaneously especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction in the oil Oxidation creates heat If the heat cannot escape the items can become hot enough to catch fire Piling stacking or storing oilaffected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with vegetable or cooking oil or hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent this will reduce but not eliminate the hazard Remove all items from pockets eg lighters matches Warning Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before removing the laundry If the drying programme is stopped prematurely remove the laundry immediately and hang it up or spread it out to cool it down Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the manufacturers packaging 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 has been completed As soon as the programme has finished remove all laundry from the drum Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door as this can cause the tumble dryer to tip up Always close the door after use This way you will avoid the danger of children climbing onto or into the dryer or hiding things in it pets or other small animals climbing into it
• Page 14 - English - : Warning and Safety instructions The tumble dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or with damaged fluff filters without the plinth filter in place or with a damaged plinth filter This would cause an excessive buildup of fluff which in turn would cause a fault The fluff filters must be cleaned after every drying cycle Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be thoroughly dried after cleaning Do not replace them if they are damp or wet Damp or wet filters could cause operational faults Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring At temperatures around freezing point the tumble dryer may not be able to operate properly There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump and hoses If the water is drained externally through the drain hose instead of being collected in the condensed water container make sure the drain hose is securely attached if you hang it in a laundry tub to avoid the hose slipping and the water causing damage Condensed water is not drinking water It can cause health problems in both people and animals Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and fluff Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the heat exchanger over time The tumble dryer must not be hosed down
