Technical Safety - Miele PDR 914 Operating And Installation Instructions


Do not lean on the tumble dryer door. Otherwise, the tumble dryer may tip over, causing
injury to yourself or others.

Do not use a pressure washer or water jet to clean the tumble dryer.

To ensure the correct performance of the tumble dryer and to prevent the risk of faults
and fire, it is important to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.

DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.

Do not expose the dryer to air which contains chlorine, fluorine or other solvent vapours.
This contaminated air can cause a fire.

To prevent the risk of fire, the following textiles 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,
lotions, 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 programme.
- 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 splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish 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 programme
unless all items are removed immediately and spread out to cool down.

Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a damaged fluff filter. This
could lead to malfunctions. Fluff 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 fluff filter.

Technical safety


Before installing the dryer, check it for visible signs of damage.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

Do not connect the dryer to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension
leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Risk of fire. This tumble dryer must not be connected to a controllable socket (e.g. a
timer or a peak-load cut-out device). The tumble dryer may only be operated with a peak-
load device if this is connected to the tumble dryer via the Miele connector box and the
relevant settings have been configured on the tumble dryer. There is a risk of the laundry
self-igniting if the drying programme is cancelled before the cooling phase has finished.
