Cleaning And Care; Fluff Filter; Tumble Dryer - Miele PT 8257 WP Operating Instructions Manual

Fluff filter

,
Do not use the dryer without the fluff filter in
place. Fire risk.
A damaged fluff filter must be replaced before the
machine is used again.
Otherwise fluff and lint will cause a blockage in the
airways, the heating system and the exhaust vent,
and the correct functioning of the machine cannot
be assured.
The fluff filter collects any fluff and lint from the
laundry. It should be cleaned at least once a day and
when "Check fluff filter" appears in the display.
If there is a large amount of fluff and lint, the filter will
need to be cleaned several times a day.
The fluff filter must not be removed. When cleaning it,
do so with care and make sure it does not get
damaged.
^ Open the fluff compartment panel.
^ Wipe the fluff off the filter by hand. Never use
pointed or sharp edged objects to do this.

Tumble dryer

Before any cleaning or maintenance switch the dryer
off at the on-site mains switch.
,
Do not use a high pressure cleaner or hose to
clean the tumble dryer.
^ The housing, control panel and any plastic
components should be cleaned using a suitable
mild cleaning agent, or with a soft damp cloth. Rub
dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.
^ If starched laundry has been dried, the drum
should be wiped out with a damp cloth afterwards.
Do not clean the machine with abrasive cleaning
agents.
Check the seal and the catch of the drum door, the
fluff filter panel and the maintenance panel and the
connection between the dryer and the heat pump
unit.
The air intake vents are located at the back of the
dryer and the exhaust vent in the machine lid. These
must not be blocked or hindered in any way. Do not
cover the machine lid with cloths or similar items.
The area surrounding the machine, in particular
around the air intake, must be kept free of dust and
fluff at all times. If taken into the dryer, they can
cause faults with the machine.
The following should be checked and cleaned once
a year by a Miele authorised service technician:
– the entire interior of the dryer
– the fins on the exhaust fan
