Technical safety
~
Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally
visible damage.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
~
Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~
The electrical safety of this machine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the on-site wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by
an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
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. If this is not
done, any resultant damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after
maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
~
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety
standards of the tumble dryer be guaranteed.
~
If the connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger.
