Please always seek approval from your building regulations inspector to confirm that the ap-
pliance can be operated without risk and that negative pressure of over 4 Pa can be preven-
ted.
If multiple tumble dryers are to be connected to one vent ducting, a non-return flap must

be installed directly on the duct for each tumble dryer.
If this requirement is not observed, the tumble dryers may be damaged and their electrical
safety could be affected.
The plug must be easily accessible so that the tumble dryer can be disconnected from

the power supply at any time. The operator must be able to check from any access point
that the plug is still removed.
If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made on site to switch off all

poles 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.
Ensure that no closeable door, sliding door or an oppositely hinged door is installed that

would hinder the drum door being opened in any way.
If the mains connection cable is faulty it must always be replaced by a Miele authorised

technician to protect the user from danger.
Correct use
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.
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 duct-
ing, which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace
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.
Remove all items from the pockets of the laundry to be dried (e.g. lighters, matches,

keys).
The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many programmes are followed by

the cooling phase to ensure that the items of laundry are kept at a temperature that will not
cause them damage (for instance to prevent the risk of the laundry self-igniting). Always re-
move all items of laundry from the tumble dryer immediately after the cooling phase.
Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on

the manufacturer's packaging.
For tumble dryers with stainless steel surfaces:

The stainless steel surfaces must not come into contact with liquid cleaning and disinfect-
ing agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can have a corros-
ive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine can also be corrosive.
Do not store containers of these agents near the tumble dryer.
