Correct Use - Miele PDR 510 EL Operating And Installation Instructions

Warning and Safety instructions

There is a risk of suffocation and poisoning due to exhaust gases being sucked back if
gas-powered flow heaters, gas-powered room heaters, coal-burning stoves with a flue
connection, etc., are installed in the same room, in the same flat or in neighbouring rooms
and the negative pressure is 4 Pa or more.
The following measures for suitable room ventilation (examples) can help to prevent negat-
ive pressure in the installation area:
- Install vents that cannot be closed in the exterior walls.
- Use window switches so that the tumble dryer can only be switched on when a window
is open.
Please always seek approval from your building regulations inspector to confirm that the
appliance can be operated without risk and that negative pressure of over 4 Pa can be pre-
vented.

If multiple tumble dryers are to be connected to one vent ducting, a non-return flap must
be installed directly on the duct for each tumble dryer.
If this requirement is not observed, the tumble dryers may be damaged and their electrical
safety could be affected.

Follow the instructions in "Installation of the ducting".

Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth
facings, deep pile carpet etc.

Ensure that no closeable door, sliding door or an oppositely hinged door is installed that
would hinder the drum door being opened in any way.

This tumble dryer is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g.
temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special
lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the
Miele Customer Service Department.

Correct use


Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety features and control elements of the
tumble dryer.

Always close the drum door after each drying cycle. This will prevent:
- Children climbing into the tumble dryer or hiding things in it.
- Pets or other small animals climbing into the tumble dryer.

Do not use a pressure washer or water jet to clean the tumble dryer.

Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust and fluff. If the air that is
taken into the machine contains dirt particles, this can cause blockages. A fault may then
occur and there is a risk of fire.

Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a damaged fluff filter. This
could lead to malfunctions. Fluff can clog the air channels, heating elements and vent
ducting, which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and re-
place the damaged fluff filter.

The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.
