Technical safety
~
Before setting up the tumble dryer,
check it for any externally visible dama-
ge.
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 supp-
ly. 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 whe-
re there is any doubt the household wi-
ring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
~
Do not connect the tumble dryer to
the mains electricity supply by an ex-
tension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
tumble dryer (e.g. danger of overhea-
ting).
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability. Re-
pairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician. En-
sure current is not supplied to the tum-
ble dryer until after maintenance or re-
pair work has been carried out.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
Faulty components must only be re-
placed by genuine Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the tumble
dryer be guaranteed.
~
If the connection cable is faulty it
must only be replaced by a Miele ap-
proved service technician to protect the
user from danger.
~
In the event of a fault or for cleaning
purposes, the tumble dryer is only com-
pletely 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and the plug is withdrawn, or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 disconnected, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
~
This tumble dryer may only be used
in mobile installations such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
~
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay parti-
cular attention to keeping the tumble
dryer and its surroundings in a clean
condition at all times. Any damage
which may be caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by
the guarantee.
~
Do not make any alterations to the
tumble dryer, unless authorised to do
so by Miele.
