- 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 re-
mover, 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.
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.
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 duct-
ing, which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace
the damaged fluff filter.


It is essential that this standard safety requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in
any doubt, please have the electrical installation inspected by a specialist. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele

cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only

guarantee the safety standards of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
In the event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance purposes, the tumble dryer must

be disconnected from the power supply. The tumble dryer is only disconnected from the
power supply, if:
- It is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn.
- The mains fuse is disconnected.
- The mains fuses have been completely removed.
