IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the fol- lowing: WARNING This tumble dryer is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important information regarding use of fabric softener sheets: We do not recommend use of fabric softener sheets. Use of fabric softener sheets can clog the surfaces of the lint filters, extending the drying time and increasing energy consumption. During subsequent cleaning, the plastic and surfaces of the lint filters can be damaged! The best results are obtained by using liquid fabric softener in the washing machine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles must not be dried in this dryer: - items which have not been washed. - items, such as work-wear, exposed to grease, oils, or other de- posits (such as lotions or cosmetics) in your dryer. If these items have not been thoroughly cleaned there is a danger that they may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause the laundry to ignite when heated even after being removed from the dryer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Heat-pump technology and refrigerant: The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a gaseous refrigerant which is condensed by the compressor. The refrigerant, which is brought to a higher temperature level and liquified by condensing, is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.
Page 13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Using a fragrance flacon (optional accessory) Only use genuine Miele original fragrance flacons. Store the fragrance flacon in its original packaging. Caution: The fragrance can leak out of the flacon! Make sure that you always keep the flacon, or the lint filter with the flacon inserted in it, in a horizontal position when carrying and do not tip or place it down on any surface.
