Operation Manual

Fluff filter
,
Do not use the dryer 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 Clean out airways / Clean the fluff filter /
Check ducting message appears.
If there is a large amount of fluff and lint, the filter will
need frequent cleaning.
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 the 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 high pressure cleaner 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.
The following should be checked and cleaned once
a year by a Miele 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.
