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 tumble dryer,
ensure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. 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
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).
Warning and Safety instructions
~
The heat pump technology in the
tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is
condensed by a compressor and 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
tumble dryer (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
Unauthorised repairs could result in
unforeseen dangers for the user, for
which Miele cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
Miele approved service technician.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
tumble dryer until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
