Preventing Misuse; Technical Safety - Miele PDR 914 Operating And Installation Instructions

Preventing misuse


Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorized to do so by Miele.

Do not lean on the dryer door. Otherwise, the tumble dryer may tip over, causing injury
to yourself or others.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the tumble dryer.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent malfunctions and
fire hazards, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paraffin, or other highly flammable liquids near the
tumble dryer. Risk of fire and explosion.

Do not expose the tumble dryer to air which contains chlorine, fluorine, or other solvent
vapors. This contaminated air can cause a fire.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following items must not be dried in the tumble dryer:
- Items which have not been washed.
- Items which have not been thoroughly cleaned and are still soiled with grease, oil, or
other deposits (such as kitchen linens or cosmetics cloths with cooking oils, grease, lo-
tions, etc). If items have not been thoroughly cleaned, there is a danger that they might
ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the tumble dryer at the
end of the program.
- Items (e.g., mops and floor cloths) that have been treated with inflammable cleaning
agents or which contain residues of acetone, alcohol, benzene, petrol, kerosene, stain
remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover, or other chemicals.
- Items which have been soiled with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail polish remover, or similar
substances.
Wash heavily soiled items thoroughly by increasing the amount of detergent and selecting
a high washing temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

Warning: Never switch the tumble dryer off before the end of the drying program. If you
absolutely must interrupt the program, remove all items immediately and spread them out
to cool down.

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.

Technical safety


Before installing the dryer, check it for visible signs of damage.
Do not install or use a damaged machine.

Do not connect the dryer to the electrical supply by an extension cord (risk of fire due to
overheating).

Risk of fire. This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket (e.g., a
timer). There is a risk of the laundry igniting if the tumble dryer's safety cooling phase is in-
terrupted.
