INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Grounding and Electrical connection Grounding instructions This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Where to install the machine The space required by the vent duct should be taken into consideration when calculating the distance between the machine and a wall or other appliance. The tumble dryer can also be placed on top of a Miele washing machine for a stacked installation. The machine should be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation. Minor discrepancies will not, however, have an adverse effect on operation.
PAGE 21
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Exhaust venting The moist air from the dryer must be vented to the outside. Installing the connector on the left side of the machine Remove the cap covering the exhaust part as follows: The appliance should not be vented into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed spaces of the building. When installing, try to avoid: - very long venting systems - too many bends or angles - tight corners otherwise . . . . . . the drying results will be affected, . . .
PAGE 22
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The shorter the exhaust ductwork, the more efficient the dryer will run. Expelled air is slowed down in the ducts due to friction against the inner walls. The shorter and smoother the inner walls are, the less friction will be created. An elbow or bend creates more friction than a straight duct. An Additional Duct Length Factor must therefore be added for each elbow or bend used (see Table I). This factor expresses the resistance of the bend in terms of a length of straight duct.
