Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the tumble dryer
is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains, or the mains fuse is disconnected
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applic-
able), or it is switched off at the isolator switch.
See “Installation - Electrical connection”.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation”, “Installation of the
ducting” and “Technical data”.
The accessibility of the plug must be always ensured, in order to
separate the tumble dryer from the mains. All electrical work should
be carried out only by a suitably qualified and competent person, in
strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.
If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made
on site to switch off all poles to disconnect the tumble dryer from the
electrical supply.
Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
Do not install a lockable door, a sliding door or a door which is
hinged in the opposite direction to the dryer door.
