Gas-Heated Tumble Dryers - Miele PDR 914 Operating And Installation Instructions

- Use window switches so that the tumble dryer can only be switched on when a window
is open.
Please always seek approval from the appropriate authority (e.g. gas installer) to confirm
that the machine can be operated without risk and that a negative pressure of 4 Pa or more
can be prevented.

If multiple tumble dryers are to be connected to one exhaust air duct, a non-return flap
must be installed directly on the duct for each tumble dryer.
Failure to do so may damage the dryers and affect their electrical safety.

The plug must be easily accessible so that the tumble dryer can be disconnected from
the power supply.

If the appliance is hard wired, adequate provision must be made on site to switch off all
poles to disconnect the tumble dryer from the power supply.

Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with plinth
boards, deep pile carpet etc.

The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with
a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dyer, in such a way that a full opening of
the tumble dryer door is restricted.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised
service technician to protect the user from danger.

Care is required to avoid causing a fire by igniting flammable material. Warning: Risk of
fire/Flammable materials.

In the event of a fault or when carrying out cleaning and maintenance, the manual gas
shut-off valve and the shut-off device on the gas meter must be closed.

Before completing commissioning, maintenance, conversion and repair work, all gas-
conducting components – from the manual shut-off valve to the burner jet – must be
checked for leaks. Particular attention must be paid to the measurement connections on
the gas valve and on the burner. Checks must be performed when the burner is both
switched on and switched off.

Carry out an annual visual inspection of the gas lines and gas appliances in your home.
This inspection must comply with applicable national regulations.

main gas shut-off device immediately.
