The Miele Professional Service Department or a trained specialist must check the interior

if necessary. In the case of electrically heated tumble dryers, the heater bank and the
heating shaft must also be checked by the Miele Professional Service Department. In the
case of gas-heated dryers, the burner and the burner area must be checked.
