Correct Use - Miele PDR 914 HP Operating And Installation Instructions

Warning and Safety instructions
The following measures for suitable room ventilation (examples) can help to prevent negat-
ive pressure in the installation area:
- Install vents that cannot be closed in the exterior walls.
- Use window switches so that the tumble dryer can only be switched on when a window
is open.
Please always seek approval from your building regulations inspector to confirm that the
appliance can be operated without risk and that negative pressure of over 4 Pa can be pre-
vented.

The plug must be easily accessible so that the tumble dryer can be disconnected from
the power supply.

If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made on site to switch off all
poles to disconnect the tumble dryer from the power supply.

Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth
facings, 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 mains connection cable is faulty it must always be replaced by a Miele authorised
technician to protect the user from danger.

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 fluff. 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.

The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.

To ensure problem-free operation of the tumble dryer:
- Remove the fluff from the fluff filter surfaces after every drying cycle.
- In addition, the fluff filter and the air passages must be cleaned when prompted by the
display.

Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).

The programme ends when the cooling phase starts. Many programmes are followed by
the cooling phase to ensure that the items of laundry are kept at a temperature that will not
cause them damage (for instance to prevent the risk of the laundry self-igniting). Always re-
move all items of laundry from the tumble dryer immediately after the cooling phase.

Fabric conditioner and similar products must be used according to the instructions on
the manufacturer's packaging.
