Miele PDR 510 EL Operating And Installation Instructions page 9


Tumble dryers with damage to the control panel or wire insulation must not be used until
they have been repaired.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which Miele
cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised techni-
cian, otherwise any subsequent damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Faulty components may only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. Miele can only
guarantee the safety standards of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

Only operate the tumble dryer when all removable outer panels are in place so that it is
impossible to touch an electrical component or moving part.

During the drying process, the door glass and the frame around the drum door will get
hot. Please be aware that the laundry may also be hot if it is removed from the tumble
dryer before the end of the drying programme.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

In the event of a fault and for cleaning and maintenance purposes, the tumble dryer
must be disconnected from the power supply. The tumble dryer is only disconnected from
the power supply, if:
- It is switched off at the wall socket or the plug is withdrawn.
- The mains fuse is disconnected.
- The mains fuses have been completely removed.

If the heater element malfunctions, accessible parts can get very hot.

The tumble dryer must not be used in non-stationary installation sites (e.g. on a ship).

Follow the instructions in "Installation" and "Technical data".

Only allow clean, fresh air to be fed into the tumble dryer. Air entering the machine must
not contain vapours with chlorine, fluorine or other solvents.

The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has been installed and the
room is sufficiently ventilated.

The vent ducting must never be installed in any of the following flues or shafts:
- Chimneys or smokestacks that are in use.
- Shafts that are used to ventilate installation rooms with fireplaces.
- Flues that are used by third parties.
Smoke or exhaust gas that is fed back into the flue or shaft may be toxic.

Regularly check all components in the vent ducting (e.g. wall pipe, external grille, bends,
elbows, etc.) to make sure air can move through them and to ensure that they are working
properly. Clean components when necessary. Fluff deposits in the vent ducting system will
prevent the air from being extracted properly and, as a result, will stop the tumble dryer
from working properly.
If existing vent ducting is due to be used, it must be checked before being connected to
the tumble dryer.
Low pressure must not occur in the vent ducting.
