Drying - Miele PT 8257 WP Operating And Installation Instructions

Not all fabrics are suitable for drying in a tumble dryer. Please observe the symbols on the
fabric care label.
Symbols on care labels:
–  Dry at normal temperature
–  Dry at low temperature
–  Do not tumble dry
Tip: For even drying results and to avoid damaging fabrics, sort the laundry by fibre and
weave.
 Only tumble dry items that have a care label stating that they are suitable for tumble

drying.

Tumble drying unsuitable fabrics poses a fire hazard.
The following fabrics must not be tumble dried:
– Fabrics which contain a large proportion of rubber, foam rubber or rubber-like materials.
– Fabrics treated with inflammable detergents.
– Items which have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or
similar substances.
– Items soiled with oil, grease and similar residues, e.g. kitchen linen and linen used in
beauty clinics.
– Items such as mop heads and floor cloths containing residual wax or chemicals.
– Damaged items that contain fillings, e.g. pillows and jackets.
– Fabrics contaminated by greases and oils that have not been adequately washed. Use a
heavy-duty detergent for very heavily soiled items (e.g. workwear). Please seek advice
from the detergent manufacturer in this regard.
Drying woollen or linen fabrics
Woollen items and fabrics containing wool have a tendency to become matted.
Use the "Woollens" programme only to dry woollen items and fabrics containing wool.

Pure linen has a tendency to roughen if tumble dried.
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Protect the drum from damage (scratches and dents).
Before placing items in the tumble dryer wrap any large metal parts such as buckles,

hooks, clasps and zips etc. with a cloth.
Items with closed metal zips can cause the moisture sensing electrodes in the drum ribs to
be bridged. This can lead to the drying process running on for too long or to not finish at
all.
Dry these items with the zip open.

Loopknit and woven textiles (e.g. t-shirts) have a tendency to shrink depending on quality.
This can be made worse by over-drying.
Do not use the "Cottons Extra Dry" programme for these items.
