Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety ~ Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer. ~ Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele cannot accept liabilty. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. ~ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.

Warning and Safety instructions 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. ~ Oil-affected 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.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ 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 removing the laundry. ~ Warning: Do not switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the drying programme.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ The tumble dryer must not be used – without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged. – without the fine filter in place or if the fine filters are damaged. This would cause an excessive build-up of fluff which in turn would cause a fault! ~ After every cycle, remove the fluff from the surfaces and the fluff filters (see "Cleaning and care"). ~ Fluff must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the tumble dryer can cause blockages in the condenser unit over time. ~ Do not lean on the door. This can cause the tumble dryer to tip over. ~ 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. ~ The tumble dryer must not be hosed down.
