Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
 Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-
ible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised

to do so by Miele.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-

ply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system
complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent stand-
ard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by

an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not guar-
antee the required safety of the tumble dryer.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must always be re-

placed by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user
from danger.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring sys-
tem inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
