Miele PT 8257 Operating And Installation Instructions page 5

Safety
,
The dryer is only intended for drying fabrics that
were washed with water as a cleaning agent.
~
Operate the dryer only if an exhaust air duct is
connected and the room is adequately ventilated.
~
Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities,
or experience with the appliance should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
~
Do not let children play in, on or near the dryer. Do not
let them play with the controls or operate the unit.
~
Always close the door after loading or unloading the
dryer, to prevent:
– children from climbing into the dryer, or hiding small
items in the dryer.
– small animals from climbing into the dryer.
~
Do not operate the appliance if the control panel, wires
or cables are damaged.
~
Do not damage, remove, or bypass any of the safety
features and controls of the dryer.
~
Do not operate the dryer when housing parts have been
removed and the moving or electrical parts are exposed
and accessible.
~
High temperatures occur at the window and frame of
the drum door. The laundry is extremely hot if it is removed
too soon. Burn hazard!
~
Do not touch the steam components (depending on
model). Scalding hazard!
~
Always make sure the drum is stationary before
reaching in to remove laundry. Never put your hand into a
drum that is still moving.
~
Take care not to pinch or cut your fingers on the hinges
of the drum door or lint flap. Use the handles.
~
The area necessary to open the drum door completely
must not be obstructed by doors or other structures.
~
Do not use the dryer without the built-in lint filter in
place. Fire hazard!
If the lint filter is damaged it must be replaced immediately.
~
Never use or store gasoline, petroleum-based
substances or other easily flammable substances near the
machine. Fire and explosion hazard!
~
A build-up of lint will block the airflow, heating and
ventilation, which will impair the efficiency of the dryer. Be
sure to clean the lint filter before or after each load.
~
Do not use a power washer to clean the dryer.
~
Remove the door to the drying compartment before the
appliance is removed for service or discarded.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
~
Disinfection and cleaning agents often contain chlorine
compounds. If these agents dry on stainless steel it will
cause it to rust. To protect the dryer use only chlorine-free
disinfection and cleaning agents for laundering and
disinfecting, and for cleaning the stainless steel surfaces. If
in doubt about a cleaning agent, contact the manufacturer.
If an agent containing chlorine is spilled, wash it off with
water and dry with a soft cloth.
Electrical safety
~
Be certain this appliance is properly installed and
grounded by an authorized technician. For electrical safety
this machine must be grounded z. It is imperative that this
basic safety requirement be tested by a qualified
electrician. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
~
Before installation or service, disconnect the power
supply to the work area.
~
Repairs to electrical and gas appliances should only be
carried out by a Miele Service Technician in accordance
with local and national safety regulations. Unauthorized
repairs could cause injury or machine damage.
~
Use only genuine Miele parts. Use of non-Miele parts
may impair performance and void any guarantees.
~
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in
these operating instructions. Contact Miele's Technical
Service Department for assistance.
~
Do not operate the dryer in a room where cleaning
machines operate with solvents containing CFC. Vapors
from combustion turn into hydrochloric acid which
damages laundry and dryer. When operated in a separate
room, there must be no air exchange possible. Make sure
the dryer is supplied with clean fresh air only.
~
The air intake opening is located on the back of the
dryer. Never block this opening. Therefore, do not cover
the dryer top with any blankets or sheets.
~
The dryer needs timely and professional maintenance to
prevent performance loss, malfunctions and the risk of fire.
