Miele PT 8251 + COP Operating Instructions Manual

The dryer must have a constant supply of fresh air.

Vapours containing chlorine, fluorine or other solvents

must not be able to reach the dryer.

The ventilation inlet to the dryer is located at the

back of the machine. It must not be blocked or hin-

dered in any way. Do not cover the machine lid with

cloths or similar items.

Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable

substance must not be stored or used near the tum-

ble dryer. Fire and explosion risk.

To ensure the correct performance of the machine

and to prevent the risk of faults and fire, it is important

to check the machine and carry out maintenance on

a regular basis.

Use

This tumble dryer must only be used when it is

connected to a suitable ducting system. The installa-

tion site must be adequately ventilated.

This tumble dryer is not intended for use by per-

sons (including children) with reduced physical, sen-

sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or

knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it

or have been shown how to use it by a by a person

responsible for their safety.

Keep children away from the tumble dryer at all

times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not

allow them to play on or near it or to play with the

controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.

Always close the drum door after use to avoid:

– the risk of children and small animals climbing into

the drum and endangering their lives.

Do not use a machine with damaged controls or

cables. These must be repaired before it is used

again.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety fea-

tures, fixtures and control elements of this machine.

Any removable outer panels must be back in

place, and all moving or electrical parts shielded be-

fore the machine is switched on.

Whilst the dryer is in use the porthole glass and

drum door frame can become very hot. Laundry will

also be very hot if you remove it early.

To prevent the risk of injury or scalding compo-

nents carrying steam must not be touched.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary be-

fore reaching into the machine to remove laundry.

Reaching into a moving drum is extremely danger-

ous.

Take care near the drum door hinges and the fluff

filter compartment flap. Danger of injury. Ensure that

you always use the handles.

The drum door must be able to be opened to its

fullest extent. This area must not be restricted by

doors or structural features.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use the machine without the built-in fluff fil-

ter 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 and the vent ducting, and the

correct functioning of the machine cannot be as-

sured.

Cleaning and disinfecting agents often contain

chlorine-based substances. Do not let such agents

come into contact with the stainless steel surfaces, as

the chlorine can have a corrosive effect and cause

rust. Use chlorine-free agents for washing and disin-

fecting and also for cleaning stainless steel surfaces

to protect them from corrosion. If in doubt, confirm

with the manufacturer that their product is suitable. If

any agent containing chlorine comes into contact with

the stainless steel surfaces, wipe it away immediately

with clean water. Then dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the

machine.

Gas heated dryers

The gas mains connection point and the gas con-

nection to the machine should be switched off for all

cleaning and maintenance work and in the event of a

fault.

Warning. After commissioning the machine, and

after any maintenance, conversion or repair work all

components carrying gas from the gas tap to the

burners should be tested for leakage. Test points on

the gas tap and the burner are particularly important.

The machine should be tested with the burner

switched on and switched off.

Using accessories

Accessory parts may only be fitted when ex-

pressly approved by Miele. If spare parts or accesso-

ries from other manufacturers are used, this will invali-

date the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Disposing of your old machine

Before disposing of an old machine, first make the

door lock unusable. This way you will prevent chil-

dren from accidentally locking themselves in and en-

dangering their lives.

Keep these instructions in a safe and

accessible place.
