Warning and
Safety instructions

Disinfecting and cleaning agents often con-
tain chlorides (salts).  If these substances

dry onto the steel surfaces the residual chlo-
rides attack the steel and can cause rusting.
To protect your machine from rust damage we
recommend only using chloride free disinfec-
ting and cleaning agents for washing and disin-
fecting and for cleaning the machine.  If you
are not sure about a particular agent contact
the manufacturer for advice.
If you accidentally spill an agent containing
chloride on the machine it should be rinsed off
with water and dried with a soft cloth.

Do not use a high pressure cleaner or
water jet to clean the machine.

In the event of a fault or for cleaning and
maintenance the gas control valve must

be shut and the gas emergency control at the
meter shut off.

Caution If the tumble dryer switches off
prematurely during the drying cycle, with-

out the fault indication light showing, this could
be due to high temperatures in the area of the
motor.
Heater limiters stop the tumble dryer.
In this case please check the seals and locks
on the machine door and the fluff filter.
Check the condition of the air inlet and air out-
let vents.  If no damage is evident to any of
the parts checked, the dryer can be re-started.
If the fault occurs again, call the approved
Service engineer.

Safety precautions to take if you smell
gas

-For gas heated dryers only-

(Natural gas usually has no smell of its own. In
the U.K. a smell is added by British Gas for
safey reasons).

If you smell gas you must act immediately.

Extinguish any flames.

Do not create any electrical sparks:
e.g. do not insert or withdraw any electrical
plugs or operate electrical switches such
as lights and door bells.

Do not enter a room with an open light
where there is the smell of gas.

Do not light cigarette lighters or matches.

Do not smoke. 

Open all doors and windows.

Close any shut off valves at the gas con-
nection meter or mains supply immediately.

Shut off the gas-valve next to the machine.

If all gas valves are closed but there is still the
smell of gas in the room you should call you
local gas board immediately.

Important! Before signing off any commis-
sioning, maintenance, conversion or repair

work as finished, all gas pipework from the
manual isolating valve to the burner nozzles
must be checked for soundness.
Pay special attention to the test points on the
multifunction control, the connection pressure
monitor and the burner setting pressure.
The tests must be carried out with the burner
switched on and switched off.

Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when

expressly approved by Miele.  If other parts
are used, guarantee, performance and prod-
uct liability claims may be invalidated.

All personnel working with this machine must
be fully trained in all aspects of its use and
safety.

Keep these operating instructions in a safe
place.
