Technical safety
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally vis-
ible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised
to do so by Miele.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not guar-
antee the required safety of the tumble dryer.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must always be re-
placed by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user
from danger.
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the on-site wiring sys-
tem inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
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 warranty. Ensure cur-
rent is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or re-
pair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele ori-
ginal spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of
the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to pre-
vent the risk of faults and fire, it is important to carry out mainten-
ance on a regular basis.
