Warning and Safety instructions



The tumble dryer must be isolated from the electricity supply in

the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.



This tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).



Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless author‐

ised to do so by Miele.



Heat pump technology and refrigerant:

The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is con‐

densed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the

heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying

air takes place.

– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do

not impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.

– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any

length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has

been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation and

connection").

If it has not been transported as described, ensure that the rec‐

ommended standing time prior to first operation is observed. Oth‐

erwise the heat pump can be damaged.

– This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. They

are hermetically sealed.

Designation: R 134a



Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection"

and the "Technical data".



The accessibility of the plug must always be ensured, in order to

disconnect the tumble dryer from the mains.



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 dryer.
