IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - Risk of Fire
To reduce the risk of severe injury or
death, follow all installation instructions.
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
Check the packaging, the dryer and accessories for any signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
Repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation, disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply by shutting off the power, unplugging the power cord or tripping the circuit breaker. Do not restore power until installation is complete.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, 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. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician, service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance! If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This dryer must be vented outdoors to reduce the risk of fire. Be sure to observe local building codes.
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.
Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for venting.
The appliance shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.
