Operation

Warning and Safety instructions

If the mains cable becomes dam- aged it must be replaced with a

Miele original cable.

In the event of a fault or for clean- ing purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity

supply when:

–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

–it is switched off at the mains, or

–the mains fuse is withdrawn.

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess- ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Young children should be super- vised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

Do not let small children play with the machine or its controls. Super-

vise its use by the elderly or infirm.

This dryer must not be:

–connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use.

–used without exhaust ducting.

–used without the fluff filter in place or if the fluff filter is damaged in any way.

Check all parts of the extraction system on a regular basis (e.g. wall

vent, external grille, bends in the ducting etc.) and make sure they are all

free of any hindrance. A build-up of fluff will prevent a free-flow of air through the system. If the dryer is to be connected to an existing ducting system this must be checked for suitability beforehand.

Adequate ventilation is essential, especially where another appli-

ance which also uses the room air (eg gas, oil or coal fired heater, continuous flow or other water heater) is installed in the same or an adjacent room. To en- sure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by these appliances being drawn back into the room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is the maxi- mum permissible. Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and out- side wall vents, or by an automatic win- dow opening arrangement when the tumble dryer is switched on. If in doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for gas, a gas fitter must be sought.

The exhaust air must not be vented into a chimney or vent flue which is

in use, nor should it be connnected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fire- places. It would be dangerous if smoke or exhaust fumes were drawn back into the room.

Do not install the machine in a room where the temperature may

drop down to or below freezing. At very cold temperatures the machine may be difficult to start.

Always keep the area around the machine free of dust and fluff.
