Warning and Safety instructions
9
The tumble dr
yer must be isolated from the electricity supply in
the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
This tumble dr
yer must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Do not mak
e any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless author‐
ised to do so by Miele.
Heat pump t
echnology and refrigerant:
The heat pump in this tumble dryer uses a refrigerant which is con‐
densed by the compressor and led in a closed circuit through the
heat exchanger unit where heat exchange with the circulating drying
air takes place.
– The humming noises caused by the heat pump are normal and do
no
t impair the efficient functioning of the dryer.
– The refrigerant is not flammable or explosive.
– In general it is not necessary to leave the dryer standing for any
len
gth of time before it is connected to the mains provided it has
been transported and installed correctly (see "Installation and
connection - Transporting the dryer"). However, if it has not been
transported as described, ensure that the recommended standing
time prior to first operation is observed. Otherwise the heat pump
can be damaged.
Please obser
ve all instructions given in "Installation and connec‐
tion" and in "Technical data".
The acc
essibility of the plug must be always ensured, in order to
separate the tumble dryer from the mains.
Do not block the
gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor with plinth facings, deep pile carpet etc. This would hinder
a sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
Make sure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after
installation.
