Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
~
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
~
Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the
mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with current local and national safety
regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the
user, for which Miele cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved service technician. Ensure current
is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or repair
work has been carried out.
~
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.
