Installation and connection

When using your gas appliance

follow basic safety precautions

including the following:

~It is essential to read all instructions

before installing the appliance.

~Installation, repair and maintenance

work should be performed by a

qualified installer, service agency or the

gas supplier. Work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous and could

void the warranty.

~In Massachusetts:

This dryer must be installed by a

licensed plumber or gas fitter.

~Before installation, disconnect the

tumble dryer from the electrical supply

by shutting off the power main,

unplugging the power cord or tripping

the circuit breaker. Do not restore

power until the installation is complete.

~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 for electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a cord

having an equipment grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. Only

place the plug in 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 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.

~Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for

venting. Non-metallic flexible hose

should not be used, it is a potential fire

hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~The dryer exhaust must not be

connected to a chimney, fireplace

ducting, a combustion appliance vent

flue, a wall, ceiling or concealed space

of a building.

~Do not install the machine in rooms

where temperatures below freezing

may occur.

~Proper installation is the

responsibility of the installer.

~Product failure due to improper

installation is not covered under the

Warranty.

~Gas dryers are not approved for

mobile home installation.

~If there is any doubt concerning

installation, contact Miele’s Technical

Service Department.
