Warning and safety instructions
In the event of a fault or for clean-
ing purposes, the machine is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply either when:
– the plug is withdrawn, or
– it is switched off at the mains
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Faulty components must only be
exchanged for Miele original spare
parts. Only when these parts are fitted
can the safety standards of the ma-
chine be guaranteed.
Use
There is a danger of fire with fab-
rics, which:
– contain rubber, foam rubber or rub-
ber-like materials
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover
or similar.
Always close the door after use.
This way you will avoid the danger
of anyone sitting or leaning on the door,
which can cause the machine to tip up.
Vented dryers must be installed
with a suitable venting system. If
the machine is not correctly ducted it
will draw damp exhaust air back into
the drum, increasing running time and
energy consumption quite consider-
ably. If moist air is passed back into the
room this may lead to long-term dam-
age of walls.
Do not install the machine in a
room where the temperature may
drop below freezing. At very cold tem-
peratures the machine may be difficult
to start. Laundry will not dry and the
"anti-crease"-indicator will flash to indi-
cate a problem.
The exhaust air must not be
vented into a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
It would be dangerous if smoke or ex-
haust fumes were drawn back into the
room.
Using accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted
when expressly approved by
Miele. If other parts are used, guaran-
tee, performance and product liability
claims may be invalidated.
Disposing of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-
pliance to prevent misuse.
