Technical safety


This tumble dryer must only be set up and commissioned by a Miele Service technician
or authorised Miele Service Dealer.

Before installation check the tumble dryer for any obvious damage. A damaged tumble
dryer must not be installed and/or used.

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
on-site wiring system tested by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

The tumble dryer is only electrically disconnected from the power supply, if
– the plug has been disconnected from the socket.
– it is switched off at the main switch, or the mains electrical fuse is disconnected (on
site).

Tumble dryers with damage to the control panel or wire insulation must not be used until
they have been repaired.

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.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The
safety standards of the tumble dryer are guaranteed only when these parts are fitted.

Do not operate the tumble dryer in a room where cleaning machines operate with
solvents containing CFCs. During combustion, any vapours that are emitted will break
down into hydrochloric acid, leading to consequential damage affecting laundry and the
machine. Air exchange must not take place between rooms if machines are set up in sep-
arate rooms.

Only allow clean, fresh air to be fed into the tumble dryer. Air entering the machine must
not contain vapours with chlorine, fluorine or other solvents.

The air intake vent is found on the rear of the tumble dryer. The exhaust vent is found in
the lid. Under no circumstances should these vents be sealed or covered by objects (e.g.
laundry baskets, blankets or towels) (see installation instructions).

Never use or store benzine, petrol or any easily flammable liquid near to the tumble
dryer. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and explosion.

The tumble dryer must be serviced in a timely and professional manner. Otherwise,
there is a potential risk of loss in performance, faults and fire.

This tumble dryer contains fluorinated greenhouse gases as a refrigerant. They are her-
metically sealed. Designation: R 134a

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control elements of the
tumble dryer.

Only operate the tumble dryer when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is
impossible to touch an electrical component or moving part.
