Cleaning and care

Fluff filter

The fluff which is created by the drying
process is collected in the fluff filter in
the door.
Clean the filter after every programme
to reduce drying time and save en-
ergy.
Open the door. Grip the filter by the
recessed handle and pull upwards
to remove.
Remove the fluff from the filter. (Do
not use any sharp or pointed objects).
Remove any fluff from the hollow part
of the door holder through the wide slit
at the bottom. A cleaning brush is
available at extra cost from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Push the cleaned filter back into the
door holder and close the door.
If there is a great deal of compacted fluff
on the filter, it can be cleaned under hot
running water.

Dry the filter well after rinsing and
