Appropriate use


This tumble dryer is intended only for use in a commercial environment.
This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
It is essential to read these operating instructions before using the tumble dryer for the
first time. They contain important information for your safety, as well as information on
using and maintaining the tumble dryer. This prevents both personal injury and damage
to the machine.

This tumble dryer is only intended for drying fabrics which have been washed in a water
solution, and marked on the manufacturer's care label as being suitable for tumble drying.
Any other applications may be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting
from incorrect or improper use or operation.

To prevent the risk of fire, do not dry the following items in the tumble dryer:
– Items that have not been washed.
– Items that have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil or other
deposits (such as cooking oils, cosmetics, lotions, etc). If items have not been thor-
oughly 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
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
– Items that have been cleaned using industrial chemical agents (e.g. professional dry-
cleaning agents).
– Items that have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or sim-
ilar substances.
Heavily soiled laundry must be washed particularly thoroughly to prevent a risk of fire.
Increase the cleaning agent dosage and select a higher wash temperature.
Wash the laundry several times if necessary.

If the tumble dryer is to be operated in an area accessible to the public, the supervisor
must ensure that it can be operated safely without risk of danger to others.

The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
