Operating instructions for condenser tumble dryer Allerdry T 4464 C To avoid the risk of accidents or damage to the machine it is essential to read these instructions before it is installed and used for the first time. G M.-Nr. 06 465 180 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. It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse. See the "Warning and Safety" section of this booklet for further details. Energy saving tips To avoid unnecessarily long drying times and high consumption of energy: ­ 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). Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of drying and may cause unnecessary creasing. ­ Make sure the room in which the dryer is located is well ventilated. ­ Make sure the fluff filters are clean before using the dryer. ­ Check the condenser unit from time to time and clean it when necessary. Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your appliance with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. 2 Contents Caring for the

Technical safety 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. 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 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 safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt the household 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 appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). 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. 5 Warning and Safety instructions 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. If the connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from danger. 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. 6 Warning and Safety instructions In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the machine is only completely isolated from the electricity 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. Do not install the machine in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. Do not install the machine in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures around freezing point the machine may not be able to operate proper ...
