Correct Use - Miele PDR 514 Operating And Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Do not smoke.
- If there is the smell of gas in a room, never enter the room with an open flame.
- Do not carry out any actions that will create electrical sparks (such as pulling out electri-
cal plugs or pressing electrical switches or bells).
- If you cannot find the cause of the gas smell and all gas valves have been shut off,
please call the gas supply company immediately.
If other persons are being shown how to operate the machine, they must be given and/
or made aware of these important safety precautions.

Correct use


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.

Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust and lint. 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 lint filter or with a damaged lint filter. This
could lead to malfunctions. Lint can clog the air passages, heating elements, and ducting,
which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace the
damaged lint filter.

The lint filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.

To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
- Remove the lint from the lint filter after every drying cycle.
- In addition, the lint filter and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by the
display.

Remove all items from the pockets of the laundry to be dried (e.g., lighters, matches,
keys).

The program finishes when the cooling phase starts. Many programs are followed by a
cooling phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them
(this also reduces the risk of the laundry self-igniting). Always remove all items of laundry
from the dryer immediately after the cooling phase.

Fabric softener and similar products must be used according to the instructions on the
manufacturer's packaging.

For machine parts made from stainless steel:
Avoid contact between stainless steel surfaces and liquid detergents or disinfecting agents
which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. These agents can cause corrosion on
stainless steel.
Aggressive chlorine bleach vapors can also be corrosive.
Do not store open containers of these agents near the machines.
