Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety



Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally

visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.



Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection

data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the

mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified

electrician.



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 household

wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele 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 are a fire hazard and do not

guarantee the required safety of the tumble dryer.



If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced

by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from

danger.



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. Ensure

current is not supplied to the tumble dryer until after maintenance or

repair work has been carried out.



Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety

of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
