IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid contact of stainless steel surfaces with liquid cleaning and
disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite.
These agents can cause corrosion on stainless steel. Aggressive chlo-
rine bleach vapors can also be corrosive. Do not store open containers
of these agents near the machine.
Do not use a pressure washer or water jet to clean the washer-
dryer stack.
Never operate the tumble dryer without the lint filter or with a dam-
aged lint filter. This could lead to malfunctions. Lint can clog the air
passages, heating elements, and ducting, which could result in a fire.
In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace the dam-
aged lint filter.
The lint filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.
To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
- Remove the lint from the lint filter after every drying cycle.
- In addition, the lint filter and the air passages must be cleaned
when prompted by the display.
To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be dried in
the tumble dryer:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled
with grease, oil, or other deposits (such as kitchen linens or cos-
metics cloths with cooking oils, grease, lotions, etc). If items have
not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might ig-
nite when heated, even after they have been removed from the
tumble dryer at the end of the program.
- Items (e.g., mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with in-
flammable cleaning agents or which contain residues of acetone,
alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax
and wax remover, or other chemicals.
- Items which have been soiled with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail pol-
ish remover, or similar substances.
Wash heavily soiled items thoroughly by increasing the amount of de-
tergent and selecting a high washing temperature. If in doubt, wash
the items several times.
Remove all items from the pockets of the laundry to be dried (e.g.,
lighters, matches, keys).
Warning: Never switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the
drying program. If you absolutely must interrupt the program, remove
all items immediately and spread them out to cool down.
Risk of fire.
This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket
(e.g., a timer or a device with peak-load negotiation).
The tumble dryer may only be operated with a peak-load device if this
is connected to the tumble dryer via the Miele XCI box and the rele-
vant settings have been configured on the tumble dryer.
There is a risk of the laundry self-igniting if the drying program is can-
celed before the cooling phase has finished.
