Cleaning the lint filter
,
Clean the lint filter at least once a day and
when the "Clean lint filter" display shows. A
clogged filter is a fire hazard!
^ Open the lint filter flap.
^ Do not remove the lint filter.
^ Wipe the lint off the filter with your hand (do not use
any sharp objects). Scoop out the lint and be
careful not to damage the filter.
,
Do not use the machine without the built-in
filter in place.
This is a fire hazard.
If the lint filter is damaged it must be replaced
immediately.
A build-up of lint could block the airflow, heating
and ventilation, and may impair the efficiency of
the machine.
Dryer
Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the dryer
from the power supply by shutting off the power main
or tripping the circuit breaker.
With gas-heated dryers, the manual gas shut-off
valve and the shut-off device at the gas meter must
be closed; with steam-heated dryers the steam
shut-off valve must be closed.
,
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or water jet
to clean the machine.
^
Use a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish
soap applied with a soft cloth to clean the housing,
the control panel and the plastic parts, then dry
with a soft cloth.
^
After drying starched laundry, clean the drum with
a soft, moist cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel
wool or caustic cleaners. They will damage the
surface.
Check the gasket and lock of the drum door and the
lint filter flap.
The air intake opening is located on the back of the
dryer. Never block this opening. Do not cover the
dryer top with any blankets or cloths.
Keep the area surrounding the dryer, especially
around the air intake opening, clear of lint to ensure
clean air intake. Lint will settle in the dryer and cause
malfunctions.
Check and clean once a year
–
Heat coils and heat duct (for electric heated
dryers), burner and the burner compartment (for
gas heated dryers),

,
The machine needs timely and professional
maintenance to prevent operation power loss,
malfunctions and danger of fire.
Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for
maintenance work.
