Miele PDR 510 EL Quick Start Manual page 73


The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the
on-site wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

The tumble dryer is only electrically disconnected from the power supply, if
- the plug has been disconnected from the socket.
- it is switched off at the main switch, or the mains electrical fuse is disconnected (on
site).

The plug must be easily accessible so that the tumble dryer can be disconnected from
the power supply at any time. The operator must be able to check from any access point
that the plug is still removed.

If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made on site to switch off all
poles to disconnect the tumble dryer from the power supply.

If the mains connection cable is faulty it must always be replaced by a Miele authorised
technician to protect the user from danger.

Tumble dryers with damage to the control panel or wire insulation must not be used until
they have been repaired.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele
cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised techni-
cian, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only
guarantee the safety standards of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

Only operate the tumble dryer when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is
impossible to touch an electrical component or moving part.

During the drying process, the door glass and the frame around the drum door will get
hot. Please be aware that the laundry may also be hot if it is removed from the tumble
dryer before the end of the drying programme.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

In the event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance purposes, the tumble dryer
must be disconnected from the power supply. The tumble dryer is only disconnected from
the power supply, if:
- It is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn.
- The mains fuse is disconnected.
- The mains fuses have been completely removed.

If the heater element malfunctions, accessible parts can get very hot.

The tumble dryer must not be used in non-stationary installation sites (e.g. on a ship).

Follow the instructions in "Installation" and "Technical data".

Only allow clean, fresh air to be fed into the tumble dryer. Air entering the machine must
not contain vapours with chlorine, fluorine or other solvents.
