Correct Use - Miele PDR 914 Operating And Installation Instructions

Please always seek approval from the appropriate authority (gas installer, chimney sweep,
etc.) to confirm that the machine can be operated without risk and that negative pressure
of over 4 Pa can be prevented.

If multiple tumble dryers are to be connected to one exhaust air duct, a non-return flap
must be installed directly on the duct for each tumble dryer.
If this requirement is not observed, the tumble dryers may be damaged and their electrical
safety could be affected.

The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the tumble dryer can be discon-
nected from the electrical supply.

If the appliance is hard wired, protective measures must be made on site to disconnect
the tumble dryer from the electrical supply.

Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with toe-
kicks, deep pile carpet, etc.

Ensure that no closeable door, sliding door, or an oppositely hinged door is installed that
would hinder the drum door being opened in any way.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in
order to protect the user from harm.

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 surfaces after every drying cycle.
- Dry the lint filter after wet cleaning. Wet or damp lint filters/filters could cause opera-
tional faults while drying.
- In addition, the lint filter and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by the
display.

Remove all items from pockets (e.g., lighters, matches).

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 tumble dryer immediately after the end of the program.
