Warning And Safety Instructions - Miele T 6351 Operating Instructions Manual

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation, repair and maintenance work
should be by a Miele authorized service
technician. Work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous and may void the war-
ranty.
Read all instructions before installation or use
of the tumble dryer to prevent injury and ma-
chine damage.
The tumble dryer is only intended for dry-
ing fabrics washed in a water solution.
Check fabric care labels to verify materials
can be machine dried.
To prevent fires, do not use this tumble
dryer to dry the following:
– Articles containing foam rubber, rubber or
rubber like materials.
– Articles which have been treated with
flammable cleaning agents.
– Articles which have been splashed with
hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish re-
mover, etc.
– Clothing which may be greasy,
fatty or impregnated with other residues.
Do not dry mops, floor cloths etc in this ma-
chine if they contain substances such as
wax or chemical cleaning agents.
Padded or filled fabrics (e.g. jackets or
cushions) should not be dried. Loose fill-
ing could cause a fire.
Some textiles get very hot during drying
and there may be a risk of high tempera-
tures causing them to ignite in exceptional cir-
cumstances. They should therefore be taken
out of the machine as soon as the program
has finished and as soon as possible if there
has been a power failure. It is advisable to
keep a fire extinguisher near the machine at
all times.
Laundry must not be removed from the
dryer before the drying program has
finished, i.e., the cooling down phase must
be completed.
If hot laundry items are stacked or packed
they can be liable to auto-combustion.
Do not let children play in or near the ma-
chine. Do not let them play with the con-
trols or operate the unit.
Make sure the drum is stationary be-
fore removing laundry. Never put you
hand into a drum that is still moving.
Installation, repair and maintenance work
should be by a Miele authorized service
technician. Work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous.
Be certain your appliance is properly in-
stalled and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this ap-
pliance, continuity must exist between the ap-
pliance and an effective grounding system. It
is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electri-
cal system of the house checked by a quali-
fied electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damages caused by the
lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding
system.
Before installation or service, disconnect
the power supply to the work area by re-
moving the fuse, "tripping" the circuit breaker,
or unplugging the unit.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety components, fixtures and control
elements of this machine.
Where there is any damage to the controls
or to the cable insulation the machine
must not be used until it has been repaired.
Faulty components must only be ex-
changed for Miele original spare parts.
Only when these parts are fitted can the
safety standards of the machine be guaran-
teed.
Do not touch the steam pipes and compo-
nents, there is a danger of burns.
When disposing of an old machine, pre-
vent hazards to children by removing the
drum door and the lint filter access panel.
Only use the dryer if all panels are
properly in place.
Fire and Explosion hazard
Never use or store gas or gasoline based
substances or any easily flammable sub-
stances near the machine.
Fire hazard
Do not use the machine without the built-in
lint filter in place. If the lint filter is damaged it
must be replaced immediately.
A build up of lint could block the airflow heat-
ing and ventilation, and impair the efficiency of
the machine.
