danger or overheating). The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements. Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele approved technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine while maintenance or repair work is being carried out. Faulty components must only be exchanged for Miele original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be guaranteed. Warning and Safety instructions If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger. In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electiricty supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – it is switched off at the mains, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn. Operation This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. The dryer must not be used without the fluff filters in place or if the fluff filters are damaged in any way. The fluff filters must be thoroughly dried after cleaning. If they are still damp or wet when replaced there is a risk of faults occurring when the machine is used. The dryer must not be used without the condenser unit in place. Do not install the machine in a room where the temperature may drop down to or below freezing. At very cold temperatures the machine may be difficult to start. There is a risk of damage if the condensed water is allowed to freeze in the pump, hoses and / or condensed water container. If the water is drained externally through the drain hose instead of being collected in the condensed water container, make sure the drain hose is securely attached if you hang it in a sink or basin to avoid the hose slipping and the water causing damage. Condensed water is not drinking water. It can cause health problems in both people and animals. Always keep the area around the machine free of dust and fluff. Dust drawn into the machine can, over time, cause blockages in the condenser unit. Warning and Safety instructions Always close the door after use. This way you will avoid the danger of: – children climbing onto or into the dryer or hiding things in it. – pets or other small animals climbing into it. Do not let anyone sit or lean on the door, as this can cause the machine to tip up. There is danger of fire with fabrics which: – contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials. – have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents. – have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances. – contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged the filling could leak out with the risk of igniting in the dryer. – are soiled with oil or grease. In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the machine guarantee. Using accessories Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by Miele. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims may be invalidated. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions. Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling. Disposal of your old machine Old machines contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes. Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. Before throwing an old machine away unplug it and render the plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. Energy saving tips ^ Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun before drying. The higher the spin, the greater the savings that can be made in energy and time during drying. ^ Load according to the optimum amount of laundry recommended for the programme being used (see Programme chart).
