Technical safety
This tumble dryer complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
This tumble dryer must only be set up and commissioned by a Miele Service technician
or authorised Miele Service Dealer.
Before installation check the tumble dryer for any obvious damage. A damaged tumble
dryer must not be installed and/or used.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.
It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the
on-site wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
This tumble dryer is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when the plug
has been withdrawn from the socket, it has been switched off at the mains isolator, or the
mains fuse is disconnected.
Machines with a damaged control panel, wires or cables must not be used until they
have been repaired.
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, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the guarantee.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The
manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the machine when Miele replacement parts
are used.
This tumble dryer must not be operated in the same room as a machine that uses
solvents containing CFCs. Vapours given off by these break down to form hydrochloric
acid which can have a damaging effect on the laundry and the machine. If installed in ad-
joining rooms there must be no exchange of air between the two rooms.
Make sure the tumble dryer has a supply of fresh air. Do not expose it to air which is
contaminated with vapour from chlorine, fluorine or other solvents.
The air intake for the tumble dryer is located at the front of the machine. This opening
must never, under any circumstances, be blocked or hindered by objects such as laundry
baskets etc.
Cool air is extracted out to the rear of the tumble dryer. This area must not be blocked.
Please ensure that the minimum gap required, as shown on the installation drawing, is
maintained.
Do not store or use benzine, petrol, paraffin, or other easily flammable liquids near the
machine. Do not use the machine lid as a resting place.
Danger of fire or explosion
.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases as a refrigerant. They are her-
metically sealed. Designation: R 134a
