Warning and Safety instructions ~ This machine must not be operated in the same room as dry cleaning machines which use solvents containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Escaping vapours break down during combustion into hydrochloric acid which can have a detrimental effect on both the laundry and the machine. Even when such machines are installed in separate rooms, care should be taken to ensure that no exchange of air can take place. ~ The dryer must have a constant supply of fresh air.
Warning and Safety instructions Precautions to take if there is a leakage of refrigerant Using accessories ~ The refrigerant circuit in the heat pump unit contains a non-poisonous, odourless refrigerant (R134a) which evaporates rapidly when it is released. It is heavier than air and so poses a risk of asphyxiation in small, unventilated rooms. expressly approved by Miele. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Problem solving guide Error messages ,Repairs to electrical, gas or steam operated machines may only be carried out by a suitably qualified person in accordance with national and local safety regulations. For gas heated machines in the U.K. this must be a Gas Safe registered technician. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Cleaning and care Fluff filter ,Do not use the dryer without the fluff filter in place. Fire risk. A damaged fluff filter must be replaced before the machine is used again. Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage in the airways, the heating system and the exhaust vent, and the correct functioning of the machine cannot be assured. The fluff filter collects any fluff and lint from the laundry. It should be cleaned at least once a day and when "Check fluff filter" appears in the display.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the heat exchanger Regular and specialist maintenance of the entire system will maintain the high efficiency of the unit and help increase the lifespan of its components. During use, fluff from textiles as well as detergent residues and other elements present in the condensed steam collect on the heat exchanger. Soiling on the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer to the air and in so doing the efficiency of the unit.
Installation and connection This dryer must only be installed and commissioned by a Miele authorised technician. This dryer must be installed in strict accordance with local and national safety and building regulations by a suitably qualified engineer. It must only be operated in a room with sufficient ventilation. Read the instructions supplied before installing and using it for the first time.
Installation and connection Fitting the dryer and the heat pump unit Remove the lid of the dryer. Guide the mains connection cable through the heat pump unit and connect it to the dryer (see "Electrical connection"). Plug the connector on the heat pump-dryer connection cable into the socket on the dryer. Tip the heat pump unit slightly so that the lower bracket on the heat pump unit fits over the lower edge on the dryer (see small inset diagram). Make sure the heat pump unit is level.
Installation and connection Levelling the machine The dryer and heat pump unit do not require a plinth. However, make sure that any uneven areas of the floor are made level. The dryer and heat pump unit must be perfectly level to ensure correct functioning. b Drill holes for clamps The screw feet A can be adjusted to align the dryer and the heat pump unit. After aligning correctly you will need to use a screwdriver to secure discs B to the floor plate.
Installation and connection Electrical connection Intake air, room air The electrical components of this dryer comply with IEC 335-1, IEC 335-2-11 and IEC 335-2-40.
