Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Take care not to damage your tumble
dryer’s pipework and heat exchanger
before or during transportation to an
authorised collection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
tumble dryer and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
Please make use of officially designated
collection and disposal points to dis-
pose of and recycle electrical and elec-
tronic appliances in your local com-
munity, with your dealer or with Miele.
By law, you are solely responsible for
deleting any personal data from the ap-
pliance prior to disposal. Please ensure
that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to dis-
posal.
