Miele T 490 Operating Instructions Manual page 8

Warning and safety instructions
For safety reasons, do not use an ex-
tension cable. There is a danger of
overheating.
In the event of a fault, or for clean-
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma-
chine be guaranteed.
Use
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop below freezing, as temperatures
below zero could damage the ma-
chine.
A suitable ducting system must be
installed before operating this
vented dryer.
8
The exhaust air must not be
vented into a chimney or vent flue
which is in use, nor should it be con-
nected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces. It would be dan-
gerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were
drawn back into the room.
Always close the door after use to
avoid the danger of:
– someone leaning on the door which
could cause the machine to tip;
– children climbing into the machine or
hiding objects in it.
There is a danger of fire with fab-
rics which:
– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-
ber-like materials;
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents;
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish
remover or similar;
– also padded items (eg cushions,
jackets) which have been damaged,
as the padding could fall out and
catch fire;
– are soiled with grease or oil.
