Warning and safety instructions

Please read the operating instructi-
ons before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain im-
portant information about the safety,
use and maintenance of the
machine. This will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the
machine. Keep these operating in-
structions in a safe place and ensu-
re that new users are familiar with
the content. Pass them on to any fu-
ture owners of the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution and are mar-
ked on the manufacturer's wash care la-
bel as being suitable for tumble drying.
Any other applications may be dange-
rous. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper use or
operation.
Do not let small children play with
the machine and its controls or
operate it. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Check for visible external damage
before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
machine or appliance.
Warning and safety instructions
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this machi-
ne can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the app-
liance and an effective earthing system
which complies with local and national
regulations. It is most important that
this basic safety requirement is regular-
ly tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsi-
ble for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system.
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unfo-
reseen dangers for the user, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept respon-
sibility. Repairs should only be underta-
ken by a Miele approved engineer.
In the event of a fault, or for clea-
ning purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
