Cleaning the plinth filter with water
Clean the filter thoroughly under
running water.
Squeeze the filter very carefully
several times as you rinse it.
Rinse the filter until all visible residues
have been removed.
Damage caused by an
insufficiently cleaned or damaged
fluff filter.
If the filter has not been properly
cleaned or is damaged, the heat
exchanger will be clogged. There will
be an insufficient flow of air and heat
exchange in the heat exchanger. This
requires a visit from Miele
Professional Service.
Before and after cleaning, check the
plinth filter in accordance with the
description in “Replacing the plinth
filter”. The plinth filter must be
perfectly functional and undamaged
after cleaning.
Use a damp cloth to remove any fluff
from the handle.
Replacing the plinth filter
Filter wear caused by continuous
tumble dryer use.
If the tumble dryer is in continuous
use and is being cleaned frequently,
the plinth filter can begin to show
signs of wear after a while. This can
clog up the heat exchanger.
Replace the filter immediately
(replacement filters are available as
an optional accessory) if you see the
following signs of wear before or
after cleaning.
Poor fit
The edges of the filter do not sit
properly and the filter is deformed. Fluff
will blow into the heat exchanger
unfiltered through edges that do not sit
properly. This will cause a permanent
obstruction in the heat exchanger.
