Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the lint filter

,
Do not use the dryer without the built-in lint fil-
ter in place. This is a fire hazard!
If the lint filter is damaged it must be replaced im-
mediately.
A build-up of lint could block the airflow, heating
and ventilation, which will impair the efficiency of
the dryer.
The lint filter collects lint from the laundry. Clean the
lint filter at least once a day and when the 0 indica-
tor is lit up.
If a lot of lint accumulates the filter should be cleaned
more often.
Do not remove the lint filter for cleaning. Take care
not to damage the lint filter.
^ Open the lint filter flap.
^ Wipe the lint off the filter with your hand (do not use
any sharp or pointed objects).

Cleaning the dryer

Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the dryer
from the power supply by shutting off the power
main or tripping the circuit breaker.
In addition, with gas-heated dryers the gas
shut-off valve and the shut-off at the gas meter
must be closed; with steam-heated dryers, the ste-
am shut-off valve must be closed.
,
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or water jet
to clean the machine.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel
wool or caustic cleaners. They will damage the
surface.
^ Clean the dryer housing, control panel and plastic
parts with mild solution of warm water and liquid dish
soap and dry with a soft cloth.
^ After drying starched laundry clean the drum with a
soft moist cloth.
Check the seal and lock of the drum door, and of the
lint filter flap.
The air intake opening is located at the back of the
dryer. Never block this opening. Do not cover the dry-
er top with any blankets or sheets.
Keep the area surrounding the dryer, especially
around the air intake opening, clear of lint to ensure
clean air intake. Otherwise lint will settle in the dryer
and cause malfunctions.
Once a year Miele Technical Service should check
for lint deposits and clean the following:
– The heat coils and heat duct.
– The entire interior of the dryer
– The exhaust air blower wheel
,
The dryer needs timely and professional main-
tenance to prevent performance loss, malfunctions
and the risk of fire.
