Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current 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 household wiring system should be inspected 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 do not guarantee the required safety of the machine (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. 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 original
spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine 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.
