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 appliance, make sure that the connection
data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. 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).
~
The heat pump technology in the
tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is condensed by a
compressor. It is led in a closed circuit through the heat exchanger
unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying air takes place.
It is normal for humming noises caused by the heat pump
technology to be heard during the drying process. This does not
impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any
length of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has
been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation").
~
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 appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
