What to do if ...

Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incorrectly repaired ma-
chines may pose a considerable risk to the user.
What to do if . . .
. . . the tumble dryer fails to
start when switched on
. . . items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with static
electricity after drying
. . . the laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry
. . . there is a build-up of fluff
Cause . . .
This may be due to an incorrect
selection procedure sequence
when switching on the machine.
The load consists of different
fabrics.
Fluff is principally the result of friction when garments are being
worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluff to form
and, as has been established by research institutes, has no effect
on the lifetime of fabric.

Remedy . . .
Repeat the switch-on procedure
(see section on "Drying
correctly"). Also check the
following:
–
Is the machine plugged in at
the mains switch?
–
Is the door closed properly?
–
Was the ""I-On/0-Off" button
pushed in?
–
Was the "START" button
pushed in?
–
Has the fuse or circuit
breaker tripped? If so,
contact the Miele Service
Department.
Static charge can be reduced
by adding a fabric conditioner
for the final rinse in the washing
machine.
Select a more suitable drying
programme next time.
