IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation and connection ~ GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ~ To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
Installation Front view a Exhaust connection Stand b Power cord with plug A dryer stand, with drawer, can be purchased as an optional accessory.
Installation Rear a Handle for transportation (arrows) b Power cord with plug c Slot for module d Air intake e Gas connection f Exhaust connection with restriction insert 8 ,WARNING : Do not remove the restriction insert in the vent opening. It may result in poor drying results, damage to the laundry and higher Carbon monoxide emissions. Exception: The restriction insert must be removed if the exhaust connection if moved to the left or right side of the dryer.
Installation site ,WARNING: Do not install the dryer: - outdoors - in an environment with dripping water or weather - near flammable materials - in rooms which may contain gas or other fuels - in closets with solid doors - with other fuel-burning appliances in the same closet , The National Fuel Gas Code restricts installations of gas appliances in garages. They must be 18 inches off the ground and protected by a barrier from vehicles.
Installation site Confined space installation Minimum installation clearance ^ When installed in any space with less than 122 square feet (11.3 m2), minimum clearances around the dryer must be adhered to for proper ventilation and vents for make up air must be installed. ^ Do not install any other fuel-burning appliance in the same space as the dryer. Confined door openings Any doors limiting circulation must be louvered or otherwise ventilated.
Installation Transporting the dryer to the installation site Level the dryer The rear of the lid has a handle for transportation. ^ Use the front dryer feet and the rear of the lid to move the dryer to the installation site. The dryer must be level to ensure safe and proper operation. ^ Unscrew the four feet as necessary by turning the foot, 1, and the locking nut, 2, to the left. ^ Once level, hold the foot, 1, still with adjustable pliers.
Installation ,WARNING Before installation, disconnect the tumble dryer from the electrical supply by shutting off the power main or tripping the circuit breaker. Be sure the dryer power cord is unplugged from the wall. Do not restore power until the installation is complete. Turn the dryer’s gas shutoff valve in the supply line to the OFF position. ,WARNING With left or right exhaust connections, the restriction insert must be integrated into the side exhaust ducting guide.
Electrical connection ,GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Gas connection ,WARNING Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier. In Massachusetts a licensed plumber / gas fitter is required. This appliance must be installed with its own shut off valve in the same room. The valve must be easily accessible to the consumer to turn on or shut off the gas supply after the appliance is installed.
Gas connection Gas supply Installation material (hoses and adapters) must be provided by the installer. Gas connection distances a Flare union adapter b 1/8" NPT pressure tapping plug c Gas shut-off valve This appliance must be installed with its own shut off valve on the gas supply line. The valve must be within 6 ft. (1.8 m), and in the same room, of the dryer.
Gas connection ,To secure all connections use appropriate Teflon tape or a thread compound, suitable for gas connections. ^ Install a 3/8" flare union adapter, a, to the female elbow, b. Hold the elbow with a wrench. ^ At the end of the dryer's gas connection hand screw on the 3 /8" NPT elbow. Using a wrench tighten the elbow with a half turn. ,DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. ^ Secure the flexible metal gas line connector to the adapter.
Gas connection ^ Using two wrenches tighten the flexible gas line connection. ^ Using two wrenches tighten all connections. ,DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. ^ Connect the flare union adapter, a, to the pressure tapping plug, b, originally installed on the gas shut off valve, c. ^ Open the gas shut-off valve. ^ After connecting the appliance check all fittings for gas leaks e.g. with soapy water or an equivalent. ,WARNING NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR GAS LEAKS.
Ducting Exhaust ducting and connections A gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must be provided between the appliance and the floor. This gap is necessary for proper air flow and must not be blocked by a toe-kick or thick piled carpets. Sufficient venting of the installation site is essential for proper dryer operation. Inadequate ventilation will increase energy use and drying times. Do not install the dryer next to a refrigerator.
Ducting How to calculate the effective duct length The overall duct length will determine the duct diameter (see the "Additional duct lengths" table). In Canada the exhaust duct must be 4" (102 mm) in diameter. ^ Measure the actual duct length needed to go from the dryer’s exhaust connection to the vent outlet: 1. Establish the number of elbows or bends necessary, noting the type of bend, angle and radius involved (see the "Additional duct lengths" table). 2.
Ducting Tips about the ductwork – Check with your local building code to determine the maximum allowable duct length. – Only use rigid or flexible metal duct for exhausting. Non-metallic flexible hose should not be used, it is a potential fire hazard. – Rigid metal or flexible aluminum ducting is preferred. Flexible foil ducting may move and bounce due to the high airflow of the dryer. This could lead to a thumping or grinding noise. – Non-metallic flexible hose should not be used.

Ducting Exhaust connection with a flexible exhaust hose or rigid pipe Using the adapter supplied, an exhaust hose (4" [100 mm] diameter) can be installed. Necessary materials: – a wall or window duct (available from Miele) – an exhaust hose made of approved non-flammable material ^ Install the required adapter* 1 with the exhaust hose or pipe 2 to the dryer. ,WARNING Do not remove the restriction insert in the vent opening.
Ducting Window connection (example) ^ Install the exhaust hose 3 in the dryer using the adapter 2 and the restriction insert 3. If using the gray adapter without clips : 1 Window duct 2 Connector for the rigid or flexible exhaust hose Wall connection (example) ^ Plug the restriction insert 1 into the gray adapter without clips 2 and connect the pipe 3.
