IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

, WARNING - Risk of Fire
~
Any installation, service or repair work is to be done by
a Miele Service Technician. Any work done by an unautho-
rized person could be dangerous.
~
Installation must conform with all local and national
codes and regulations.
~
Before installation, disconnect the dryer from the electri-
cal supply by shutting off the power, unplugging the power
cord or tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power
until installation is complete.
~
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
~
For electrical safety this appliance must be grounded
z in accordance with local codes. It is imperative that this
basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have
the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
~
Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety compo-
nents, fixtures and control elements of this machine.
~
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper ope-
ration.
~
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for operation in
the room where it is installed.
~
Do not operate the dryer in a room where cleaning ma-
chines operate with solvents containing CFC. Vapors turn
into salt acid which may damage the laundry and machine.
When operated in adjoining rooms, there should be no air
exchange possible.
~
The exhaust must not be led into a chimney used by
another gas, coal or oil heated appliance. It must not be
connected to any gas vent, chimney, wall, ceiling, or con-
cealed space of a building. It should be directed by the
shortest route into the open air or into a suitable venting
duct. The duct must be designed and installed to accom-
modate the high air throughput (as few bends and as short
a duct as possible and well shaped, leakproof joints).

CAUTION: An unvented dryer produces combustible
lint. Exhaust outdoors!
~
No filters or louvers should be built into the exhaust
duct.
~
The connection between the exhaust ducting and the
dryer must be airtight.
~
Protect exhausts ducted into the open air against the
weather by a 90° downward angle.
~
To facilitate cleaning of the duct, cleaning flaps or co-
vers should be fitted on the bends wherever possible.
~
With upward sloping exhaust ducting a condensate
drain must be made at the lowest point.
~
Use only genuine Miele spare parts to replace faulty
components.
~
The minimum dimensions and distance required from
the wall, as shown in the installation diagram, must be ob-
served to allow service to be performed and the data plate
to be viewed.

Do not install the dryer where it is exposed to water
and/or the weather.
