Miele T 220 Operating Instructions Manual page 6

Warning and Safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for
cleaning purposes, the machine is
only completely isolated from the
electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Use
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
This dryer must not be:
– connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use.
– used without exhaust ducting.
– used without the fluff filter in place of
if the fluff filter is damaged in any
way.
Check all parts of the extraction
system on a regular basis (e.g. wall
vent, external grille, bends in the
ducting etc.) and make sure they are all
free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff
will prevent a free-flow of air through the
system. If the dryer is to be connected
to an existing ducting system this must
be checked for suitability beforehand.

Adequate ventilation is essential to
avoid the danger of asphyxia and
toxic fumes where another appliance
which also uses the room air (e.g. gas,
oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow
or other water heater) is installed in the
same or an adjacent room.
To ensure safe operation, and to
prevent gases given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is
the maximum permissible.
– Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which cannot be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall
vents, or by fitting a window contact
switch which ensures that the tumble
dryer can only be operated when the
window is opened wide enough.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent
builder, or for gas, a "Corgi" registered
installer (in the UK) must be sought.
The exhaust air must not be vented
into a chimney or vent flue which is
in use, nor should it be connnected to
ducting which ventilates rooms with
fireplaces. It would be dangerous if
smoke or exhaust fumes were drawn
back into the room.
Do not install the machine in a
room where there is a risk of frost
occurring. At temperatures around
freezing point the machine may not be
able to operate properly.
The ambient room temperature should
be between +2°C and +35°C.
