Miele T 430 Clothes Dryer User Manual


 
Warning and safety instructions
Please read the operating instruc-
tions before using the tumble dryer
for the first time. They contain im-
portant information about the safety,
use and maintenance of the ma-
chine. This will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on any future owner of
the machine.
Correct usage
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics, which have
been washed in a water solution,
marked on the manufacturer’s wash
care label as being suitable for tumble
drying. Any other applications may be
dangerous. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from im-
proper use or operation.
Do not let small children play with
the machine and its controls or
operate it. Please supervise its use by
the elderly or infirm.
Technical safety
Before connecting the machine, en-
sure that the connection data on
the data plate (fusing, voltage and fre-
quency) matches the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
The electrical safety of this ma-
chine can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations.
It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is regularly tested
by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer can not be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
The machine is built in accordance
with current safety requirements.
Unauthorised repairs could result in un-
foreseen dangers for the user, for
which the manufacturer can not accept
responsibility. Repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele approved engin-
eer.
Adequate ventilation is essential,
especially where another ap-
pliance which also uses the room air
(eg gas, oil or coal fired heater, con-
tinuous flow or other water heater), is in-
stalled in the same or an adjacent room.
To ensure safe operation, and to pre-
vent gases being given off by these ap-
pliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar is
the maximum permissible. Ventilation
can be maintained by air inlets which
can not be blocked, in windows, doors
and outside wall vents, or by an auto-
matic window opening arrangement
when the tumble dryer is switched on.
If in doubt, the advice of a competent
builder, or for gas, a “Corgi” installer (in
the U.K.) must be sought.
