Miele PT 8301 SL Operating Instructions Manual page 5

~
This machine must not be operated in the same
room as dry cleaning machines which use solvents
containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Escaping
vapours break down during combustion into
hydrochloric acid which can have a detrimental effect
on both the laundry and the machine. Even when
such machines are installed in separate rooms, care
should be taken to ensure that no exchange of air
can take place.
~
The dryer must have a constant supply of fresh air.
Vapours containing chlorine, fluorine or other solvents
must not be able to reach the dryer.
~
The ventilation inlet to the dryer is located at the
back of the machine. It must not be blocked or
hindered in any way. Do not cover the machine lid
with cloths or similar items.
~
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable
substance must not be stored or used near the
tumble dryer. Fire and explosion risk.
~
To ensure the correct performance of the machine
and to prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important
to check the machine and carry out maintenance on
a regular basis.
Use
~
Compliant use of the dryer has been investigated
with respect to industrial use only (UL1240).
~
This tumble dryer must only be used when it is
connected to a suitable ducting system. The
installation site must be adequately ventilated.
~
This tumble dryer is not intended for use by
people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge,
unless they are supervised whilst using it or have
been shown how to use it by a by a person
responsible for their safety.
~
Keep children away from the tumble dryer at all
times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not
allow them to play on or near it or to play with the
controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.
~
Always close the drum door and the fluff filter
compartment after use to avoid:
– the risk of children hiding things in the dryer
– the risk of children and small animals climbing into
the drum and endangering their lives.
~
Do not use a machine with damaged controls or
cables. These must be repaired before it is used
again.
~
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety
features, fixtures and control elements of this
machine.
~
Any removable outer panels must be back in
place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded
before the machine is switched on.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
Whilst the dryer is in use the porthole glass and
drum door frame can become very hot. Laundry will
also be very hot if you remove it early.
~
To prevent the risk of injury or scalding
components carrying steam must not be touched.
~
Always make sure that the drum is stationary
before reaching into the machine to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous.
~
Take care near the drum door hinges and the fluff
filter compartment flap. Danger of injury. Ensure that
you always use the handles.
~
The drum door must be able to be opened to its
fullest extent. This area must not be restricted by
doors or structural features.
~
Do not use the machine without the built-in fluff
filter in place. Fire risk.
A damaged fluff filter must be replaced before the
machine is used again.
Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage in the
airways, the heating and the vent ducting, and the
correct functioning of the machine cannot be
assured.
~
Cleaning and disinfecting agents often contain
chlorine-based substances. Do not let such agents
come into contact with the stainless steel surfaces, as
the chlorine can have a corrosive effect and cause
rust. Use chlorine-free agents for washing and
disinfecting and also for cleaning stainless steel
surfaces to protect them from corrosion. If in doubt,
confirm with the manufacturer that their product is
suitable. If any agent containing chlorine comes into
contact with the stainless steel surfaces, wipe it away
immediately with clean water. Then dry with a soft
cloth.
~
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the
machine.
Using accessories
~
Accessory parts may only be fitted when
expressly approved by Miele. Using spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate
the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Disposing of your old machine
~
Before disposing of an old machine, first make the
door lock unusable. This way you will prevent
children from accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.
Keep these instructions in a safe and
accessible place.
