IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation and Repair
Any installation, service or repair work is
to be done by a Miele Service
Technician. Any work done by an
unauthorized person could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for unauthorized repairs.
Installation must conform with all local
and national codes and regulations.
Before installation or service disconnect
the power supply to the work area.
Be certain your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
For electrical safety this appliance must
be grounded 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. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by the lack, or
inadequacy, of an effective grounding
system.
Do not damage, remove or bypass the
safety components, fixtures and control
elements of this machine.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper operation.
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 machines 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.
No other fuel burning appliance shall be
installed in the same room as the dryer.
In Massachusetts a licensed plumber /
gasfitter is required.

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
concealed 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
accommodate 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!
See Installation Plan.
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 covers 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 observed 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.
Install the dryer with adequate
clearances for servicing and proper
operation.
