Always observe local building code requirements when selecting duct material. Exhaust air should not be vented into a chimney or vent flue which is otherwise in use and should not be channeled into ducting which ventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Accessories and parts Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become void. Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as intended by the manufacturer.
