Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine read the
operating instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They contain
important information about the
installation, safety, use and maintenance
of the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in a
safe place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them on to
any future owner of the machine.
Correct usage
This dryer must only be used for drying
articles which were washed in water and
which have a care label stating that the
article is suitable for machine drying.
To prevent the risk of fire the following
textiles must not be dried in this
machine:
– fabrics which contain a large proportion of
rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like
materials.
– items which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents.
– items which have been splashed with hair
lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
– items which have been soiled with oils or
residues containing grease (kitchen oils,
cosmetics etc.).
– items soiled with wax or other chemicals
(e.g. mops and floor cloths).
– items with padding which has been
damaged, e.g. pillows and jackets.
– items soiled with grease or oil which have
not been properly cleaned beforehand.
Use heavy-duty detergents where
necessary to clean very dirty garments,
e.g. workwear. If necessary consult the
detergent manufacturer for advice.

With sensitive fabrics there may be a
danger of them self igniting if dried for
too long. They should be removed as soon
as the programme has finished or if there is
a power cut.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the machine at
all times.
Do not unload laundry from the drum
after the cooling down phase has been
completed.
Hot laundry can self-ignite and cause a fire
when folded or put away.
Technical and electrical safety
The electrical safety of this machine can
only be guaranteed if connected to a
correctly installed earthing system on site. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested regularly,
and where there is any doubt, the on-site
electrical wiring 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).
The machine is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply either when it
is switched off at the isolator switch or the
mains fuse has been withdrawn.
Repairs to electrical and gas heated
machines may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent person in
accordance with local and national safety
regulations. Repairs to gas heated machines
in the UK must only be carried out by a
"Corgi" registered technician. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted can
the safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.
