enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics contaminated with
vegetable or cooking oil, or hair care products, are placed in a tumble dryer, they should
first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard.
- Items (e.g. mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with inflammable cleaning
agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover or other chemicals.
- Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried
in the tumble dryer.
- Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
Warning: Never switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the drying programme
unless all items are removed immediately and spread out to cool down.
Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a damaged fluff filter. This
could lead to malfunctions. Fluff can clog the air passages, heating elements and ducting,
which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace the
damaged fluff filter.
Do not lean on the tumble dryer door. Otherwise, the tumble dryer may tip over, causing
injury to yourself or others.
The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
Technical safety
Before installing the dryer, check it for visible signs of damage.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
Do not connect the dryer to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension
leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is
complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is essential that this standard
safety requirement is observed and regularly tested. If in any doubt, have the electrical
installation inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele
cannot accept liability. Repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised service
technician, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele original spare parts. Miele can only
guarantee the safety standards of the machine when Miele replacement parts are used.
To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
In the event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance purposes, the tumble dryer
must be disconnected from the power supply. The tumble dryer is only disconnected from
the power supply, if:
