Fluff filter

Do not use the machine without the fluff filter in

place. Fire risk.

A damaged fluff filter must be replaced before the

machine is used again.

Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage in the

airways, the heating and the vent ducting, and the

correct functioning of the machine cannot be

assured.

The fluff filter collects any fluff and lint from the

laundry. It should be cleaned at least once a day and

when the 0 indicator comes on.

If there is a large amount of fluff and lint, the filter will

need frequent cleaning.

Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the

tumble dryer.

The fluff filter must not be removed. When cleaning it,

do so with care and make sure it does not get

damaged.

^ Open the fluff compartment flap.

^ Wipe fluff off the filter by hand. Never use pointed

or sharp edged objects to do this.

Tumble dryer

Before any cleaning or maintenance, switch the dryer

off at the on-site mains switch.

With gas heated dryers the gas connection must also

be switched off, both at the mains and at the

machine. With steam heated dryers the steam supply

cut-off valve must be closed.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean

the machine.

^ The housing, control panel and any plastic

components should be cleaned using a suitable

mild cleaning agent, applied with a soft damp

cloth. Rub dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.

^ If starched laundry has been dried, the drum

should be wiped out with a damp cloth afterwards.

Do not clean the machine with abrasive cleaning

agents.

After cleaning, check the seals for any damage and

make sure the door and fluff compartment flap shut

correctly.

The ventilation inlet to the dryer is located at the

back of the machine. It must not be blocked or

hindered in any way. Do not cover the machine lid

with cloths or similar items.

The area surrounding the machine, in particular

around the air inlet, must be kept free of dust and fluff

at all times. If taken into the dryer, they can cause

faults with the machine.

Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the

back flow of gases into the room from appliances

burning other fuels, including open fires.

Exhaust air of electric dryers must not be discharged

into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from

appliances burning gas or other fuels.

The following should be checked and cleaned once

a year by a Miele authorised service technician:

– The burners and burner compartment on

gas-heated dryers, the heaters and heater shaft on

electric-heated dryers.

– The entire interior of the dryer

– The fins on the exhaust fan

To ensure the correct performance of the

machine and to prevent the risk of faults and fire, it

is important to check the machine and carry out

maintenance on a regular basis.
