Warning and Safety instructions
Please read the operating instruc-
tions before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain im-
portant information about the safety,
use and maintenance of the ma-
chine. This will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions
in a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics, which have
been washed in a water solution,
marked on the manufacturer’s wash
care label as being suitable for tumble
drying. Any other applications may be
dangerous. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from im-
proper use or operation.
Do not let small children play with the
machine and its controls or operate it.
Please supervise its use by the elderly
or infirm.
Technical safety
Check for visible external damage
before installation.
Do not install or operate a damaged
machine or appliance.
Before connecting the machine, en-
sure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this ma-
chine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regularly tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements. Un-
authorised repairs could result in unfore-
seen dangers for the user, for which the
manufacturer can not accept responsi-
bility. Repairs should only be undertaken
by a Miele approved engineer.
Adequate ventilation is essential,
especially where another ap-
pliance which also uses the room air
(eg gas, oil or coal fired heater, con-
tinuous flow or other water heater), is
installed in the same or an adjacent
room. To ensure safe operation, and
to prevent gases given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar
is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which cannot be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall
vents, or by an automatic window
opening arrangement when the
tumble dryer is switched on. If in
doubt, the advice of a competent
builder, or for gas, a "Corgi" installer
(in the U.K.) must be sought.
