Installation and connection
,WARNING - Risk of Fire
When using your gas appliance
follow basic safety precautions
including the following:
~It is essential to read all instructions
before installing the appliance.
~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.
~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
5

~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.
~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.
~Do not install the appliance 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.
