Additional annual cleaning

The Miele Customer Service Department or a trained specialist must check the interior of
the tumble dryer and the ducting for lint deposits once per year and clean the machine if
necessary. In the case of electrically heated tumble dryers, the heater bank and the heating
shaft must also be checked by the Miele Customer Service Department. In the case of
gas-heated dryers, the burner and the burner area must be checked.
