IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The electrical safety of this dryer can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete be-
tween it and an effective grounding system. It is essential that this standard safety require-
ment is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation
inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot assume responsibility for the conse-
quences of an inadequate grounding system.
Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele
cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician,
otherwise any subsequent damage may not be covered by the warranty. Repair instructions
can be requested from Miele.
Faulty components should only be replaced by Miele original parts. Miele may only guar-
antee the safety standards of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
In the event of a fault and for cleaning and care purposes, the tumble dryer must be dis-
connected from the power supply. The tumble dryer is only disconnected from the power
supply, if:
- the plug is withdrawn, or
- the breakers are disconnected, or
- the breakers have been completely removed.
The tumble dryer may not be used in mobile installations (e.g., on ships).
Follow the instructions in "Installation" and "Technical data".
The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has been installed and the
room is sufficiently ventilated in accordance with all local codes.
The ducting must never be installed in any of the following flues or shafts:
- Chimneys or smokestacks that are in use.
- Shafts that are used to ventilate installation rooms with fireplaces.
- Flues that are used by third parties.
Smoke or exhaust gas that is fed back into the flue or shaft may be toxic.
Regularly check all components in the ducting (e.g., wall pipe, external grille, bends, el-
bows, etc.) to make sure that air can move through them and to ensure that they are work-
ing properly. Clean components when necessary. Lint deposits in the ducting system will
prevent the air from being extracted properly and, as a result, will stop the tumble dryer
from working properly.
If existing ducting is due to be used, it must be checked before being installed in the tumble
dryer.
Low pressure must not occur in the ducting.
There is a risk of suffocation and poisoning due to exhaust gases being sucked back if
gas-powered flow heaters, gas-powered room heaters, coal-burning stoves with a flue con-
nection, etc., are installed in the same room, in the same apartment, or in neighboring
rooms and the negative pressure is 4 Pa or more.
The following measures for suitable room ventilation (examples) can help to prevent nega-
tive pressure in the installation area:
- Install vents that cannot be closed in the exterior walls.
- Use window switches so that the tumble dryer can only be switched on when a window
is open.
