Warning And Safety Instructions - Miele PT 7135 C Operating And Installation Instructions

Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine please read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They contain
important information on its safety,
installation, use and maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them on
to any future owner of the machine.
Correct use
The tumble dryer is only intended
for drying fabrics which have been
washed in a water solution, marked on
the manufacturer's care label as being
suitable for tumble drying.
"Dry cleaning kits" for freshening up
garments in a tumble dryer are
increasingly available on the market. If
using, do so at your own risk, and
follow the instructions provided on the
packaging.
Any other applications may be
dangerous. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from
improper use or operation.
Technical safety
Before setting up the machine,
check it for any externally visible
damage.
Do not install or use a damaged
machine.
Before connecting the machine,
ensure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.

The electrical safety of this machine
can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between it and an
effective earthing system which complies
with local and national regulations. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested, and where there is any doubt the
on-site wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the machine to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
machine (e.g. danger of 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 until after maintenance or repair
work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. Only when these parts are
fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
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.
