Technical Safety - Miele PDR 914 Kurzgebrauchsanweisung

- 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, lo-
tions, 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.

In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling down phase to ensure
that the items are not too hot to handle when you remove them (this also avoids the
danger of the laundry self-igniting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down
phase is complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the programme before re-
moving the laundry.

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 channels, heating elements and vent
ducting, which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and re-
place the damaged fluff filter.
