Installation Notes

Installation requirements

• Risk of injury or damage to property due to improper installa-tion.
• Incorrect installation of the tumble dryer can lead to personal injury or damage to property.
• The tumble dryer must only be installed and commissioned by the Miele Customer Service Department or an authorised dealer.
• The tumble dryer must be installed by all relevant regulations and standards.
• The dryer must only be operated in a room that has sufficient ventilation and which is frost-free.
• The tumble dryer must not be installed behind a closed door or a sliding door. The maximum opening angle of the tumble dryer door must not be limited by objects or doors. It must be possible to fully open the tumble dryer door at any time.

General operating conditions

• This dryer is intended only for use in a commercial environment and must only be operated indoors.
• Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost.
• Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and vibrations may occur.
• Tip: Have the installation site inspected and seek the advice of a professional in instances where increased noise may cause a nuisance.

Transporting the tumble dryer

• Risk of injury caused by the tumble dryer tipping over.
• When transporting the tumble dryer, there is the risk of the appliance tipping over.
• The tumble dryer must only be transported with a transport pallet.
• Suitable transport aids must always be used during transportation.
• Transport the tumble dryer to the installation site using a suitable pallet truck.
• Remove the transport packaging.
• Unscrew Torx screws (Torx T 20 and T 30) from the wooden pallet and remove the wooden battens.
• Remove the wooden battens.
• Lift the tumble dryer with the pallet truck.
• Fit the 4 adjustable feet supplied.

Installing the tumble dryer

• Place the tumble dryer on a perfectly level, secure and horizontal surface that can withstand the specified floor load.

The floor load created by the tumble dryer is concentrated and transferred to the installation surface via the machine feet. A base is not required. However, an uneven floor surface must be compensated for.

• To ensure a sufficient flow of air to the appliance and to facilitate any future maintenance work, a maintenance corridor with a width of at least 500 mm must be set up behind the machine and must be accessible at all times. The distance between the machine and any walls must not fall below the specified minimum values.
• The tumble dryer must be aligned and set up on a level surface. Adjust the tumble dryer adjustable feet until the machine is level. After the machine has been aligned, screw the nuts tightly to the base plate using a screwdriver.

Tip: Use a spirit level to ensure correct alignment.

• Miele generally recommends securing both of the tumble dryer’s front screw feet to the floor with the tensioning strips supplied. In the following cases, the tumble dryer must be secured to the floor with the tensioning strips supplied: with gas-heated tumble dryers, when setting up a plinth or on an offshore installation.
• The danger of gas leakage from gas-heated tumble dryers due to lack of floor fastening.
• Accidental displacement of a gas-heated tumble dryer can damage the gas line and cause gas to leak.
• After installation, always secure gas-heated tumble dryers to the floor using suitable fastening material.

Electrical Connection

The electrical connection must be established by a qualified electrician.

• The electrical connection may only be made to an electrical system provided by all appropriate local and national legislation, regulations and guidelines. Please also observe the regulations set out by your insurance provider and energy supplier, accident prevention regulations, as well as recognised codes of practice.
• The reliable and safe operation of this tumble dryer is only ensured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
• The required supply voltage, power rating and fuse rating can be found on the data plate on the tumble dryer. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the voltage quoted on the data plate before establishing the electrical connection to the tumble dryer.
• Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the data plate can damage the tumble dryer if the voltage is too high.
• If more than one voltage is specified on the data plate, the tumble dryer can be converted for connection to the relevant input voltage. This conversion must be performed by the Miele Customer Service Department or by an authorised dealer. During the conversion, the wiring instructions given on the wiring diagram must be followed.
• Tip: We recommend connecting the tumble dryer to the power supply via a plug and socket so that it is easier to conduct electrical safety checks (e.g. during maintenance or repair work).
• It is advisable to connect the product via a suitably rated plug and socket by IEC-60309, otherwise for a hardwired con-nection an all-pole means of isolation must be installed at the site. An isolation device is a switch that ensures a contact opening of more than 3 mm. These include circuit breakers, fuses and contactors (IEC/EN 60947).
• If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolation device (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against being switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.
• The tumble dryer must not be connected to devices such as timers which would switch it off automatically.
• If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) by local regulations, a residual current device type B (sensitive to universal current) must be used.
  • Loud noises and risk of damage due to incorrect phase connection on heat-pump dryers.
  • An incorrect phase position causes a lot of noise in tumble dryers with heat pumps and can cause damage to the compressor.
  • When connecting a heat pump dryer to the power connection, ensure the correct phase position according to the wiring diagram.

Installation of electrically heated and gas-heated variants

• Air intake/exhaust air
  The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has been connected properly and the room is sufficiently ventilated.

• Silencer (Miele accessory available to order)

  • The use of silencers is not permitted in exhaust ducting used by gas-heated washing machines or ironers. The tightness of the silencer is classified as category B by EN 13180.
  • With gas-heated tumble dryers, Building regulations approval must be obtained for the overall ducting system. You are not permitted to install multiple tumble dryers to a single silencer. If the tumble dryer is connected to a shared extraction system, the silencer must be installed directly onto the tumble dryer’s exhaust connection point. The non-return flap must then be installed downstream of the silencer in the direction of flow.

• Calculating the total length and diameter of a sup-ply-air or exhaust pipe

  • The length of the required pipeline and the number and shape of the elbows are determined by the structural conditions. To avoid impairing the airflow performance, the pipeline should be as short as possible and if feasible should not have any sharp bends.
  • In addition, a decision must be made as to whether flexible piping or steel piping should be installed with a round or square cross-section. If the tumble dryer is connected to a central air supply, the total pipe length is calculated from the sum of all exhaust and supply pipes. The maximum supply pipe length should not exceed half of the total pipe length.
  • The exhaust ducting for gas-heated appliances must not be made from flammable materials.
  • Otherwise, there is a risk of fire.
  • Use only non-flammable materials for the exhaust ducting.
  • In upward exhaust ducting systems, a condensate drain must be fitted at the lowest point. The condensate must be drained via a water collection tray or a floor drain positioned in an appropriate location.
  • If air is being directed from multiple appliances into a combined duct-ing system (exceptional circumstances), a non-return device (non-re-turn flap) must be installed in the ducting for each appliance to prevent backflow.
  • To make subsequent cleaning of the pipes easier, cleaning flaps should be fitted to elbows wherever possible.
  • The on-site exhaust ducting and outlet to the outdoors must be regularly checked for lint deposits and cleaned if necessary.

When connecting the vent ducting to the exhaust duct on a machine, particular care must be taken to make sure the connection is secure and air-tight.

• With complex ducting with many bends and additional components, or when several different appliances are connected to a shared duct, it is recommended that a detailed pipework calculation is carried out by a qualified specialist.
• The vent ducting must not be channelled into a chimney or flue already in use for any gas, coal or oil-burning installation. The warm and moist exhaust air is to be conducted to the outside or through suitable ventilation ducting along the shortest path possible. The vent ducting must be laid so that airflow is not hindered. To achieve this, use as few bends as possible along with short pipelines and well-made connections and transitions checked for air-tightness. No filters or grilles may be fitted in the vent ducting.
• The end of the vent ducting leading outside must be protected against the elements, e.g. with a downward-facing 90° elbow.
• During tumble dryer operation, the room must be adequately ventilated.

Room ventilation opening for air intake from the setup room

• The minimum dimension of the ventilation opening depends on the cross-section of the extraction ducting.
• If the tumble dryer is connected to a central air supply, additional ventilation openings are normally not needed.

Gas connection (only for gas-heated variants)

• The gas connection may only be carried out by a registered installation technician by the applicable national regula-tions.
• The use of a gas socket for the supply hose is not permitted as the flow rate is too low for the specified heater rating.
• The gas heating is configured at the factory in line with the gas specifications on the sticker on the rear of the appliance.
• If the gas type needs to be changed, please request the appropriate conversion kit from the Miele Customer Service Department. Informa-tion is required on the appliance type, serial number, gas family, gas group, gas connection pressure and country of installation. This gas conversion may only be carried out by a registered specialist.

Gas safety precautions
This machine must be installed by local and national building and safety regulations by a suitably qualified engineer. In the U.K. this must be done for gas-heated machines by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adequate ventilation must be present in the room in which the machine is operated. It is essential to read these instructions before installing and operating the machine.

In the UK:

• Gas Emergency Contact Centre (Tel: 0 800 111 999)
• For any gas work in the UK always use a Gas Safe registered engineer.

In other countries please follow relevant country-specific procedures on gas.

• Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure they are made available to new users. They must be made aware of these Warning and Safety instructions.
• All personnel working with this machine must be fully trained in all aspects of its use and safety.

Take these safety precautions if you smell gas

• Extinguish all flames immediately.
• Close the on-site gas shut-off device, the gas shut-off device on the gas meter or the main gas shut-off device immediately.
• Open all windows and doors immediately.
• Do not light any naked flames (e.g. matches or lighters).
• Do not smoke.
• If there is a smell of gas in a room, never enter the room with a naked flame.
• Do not carry out any actions that will create electrical sparks (such as pulling out electrical plugs or pressing electrical switches or bells).
• If you cannot find the cause of the gas smell and all gas valves have been shut off, please call the gas supply company immediately other persons are being shown how to operate the appliance, they must be given and/or made aware of these important safety precautions.
• During installation, the technical regulations for gas installations as well as national and regional building regulations, fire regulations and specifications from the relevant gas supply companies must be adhered to.
• When planning a gas-heated system, contact the relevant gas supply company and a building regulations inspector.

Installation site

• Gas-heated tumble dryers must not be operated in a room where cleaning machines operate with solvents containing perchloroethylene or CFCs. During combustion, any vapours that are emitted will break down into hydrochloric acid, leading to consequential damage affecting laundry and the appliance. Air exchange must not take place if appliances are set up in separate rooms.
• Rooms with fuel-burning installations must be adequately aerated and ventilated. Any gas-heated appliance must be considered to be a fuel-burning installation (regardless of its gas flow rate).
• If no low pressure occurs when a full fire is burning in all fuel-burning installations, this means that the room ventilation is working properly, even if the exhaust gases from the installations are being extracted mechanically. This ensures that the gas is being combusted correctly and that the exhaust gases are being evacuated completely.
• It must not be possible to seal off aeration and ventilation openings.
• Before completing commissioning, maintenance, conversion and repair work, all gas-conducting components – from the manual shut-off valve to the burner jet – must be checked for leaks.
• Particular attention must be paid to the measuring stubs on the gas valve. Checks must be performed when the burner is both switched on and switched off.
  • Installing thermal shut-off equipment on site is recommended.
  • If gas-heated appliances are accessible to anyone, it is also necessary to check whether a gas flow monitor needs to be used.

Liquid gas

Exhaust gas evacuation ducts
Gas-heated Miele tumble dryers are type B22 gas fuel-burning installations without flow-safeguarding equipment and with a fan behind the heater.

• The mixtures of exhaust gas and air that are emitted by gas-heated tumble dryers must be evacuated through a suitable chimney and out into the atmosphere via the roof.
• Vent ducts for exhaust air and exhaust gas must be kept as short as possible. The ducts must rise vertically up to the flue.
• Only materials that are resistant to heat and sooting may be used.
• A condensate drain must be placed at the lowest point of the vent ducting. The condensate must be drained via a water collection tray or a floor drain positioned in an appropriate location. No filters or grilles may be fitted in the pipeline. The vent ducting for exhaust air and exhaust gas must be installed leak-tight.

The latest guidelines for approving exhaust gas systems containing low- temperature exhaust gases must be observed.

Exceptions

1. Where it is not possible for evacuation to take place through a single duct, appropriate measures must be put in place to ensure that the exhaust gas/air mixture from the machine is not able to enter the room in which the appliance is located via the exhaust duct for other appliances (e.g. through the use of baffles and merged lines with a shape that is favourable for the flow). When using a shape that is favourable for the flow, it is important to ensure that high pressure cannot arise at the side that is not being operated. Machines fitted with fans must not be connected to the same vent flue as those without fans.
2. When evacuating the exhaust gas/air mixture through the exterior wall, no dangers or unreasonable nuisance may arise.
3. With a combined line, the exhaust air vent ducts for the individual machines must be installed horizontally in the combined line, in a way that is favourable for the flow. The cross-section of the vent flue must not be smaller than the cross-section of the combined line. Combined lines must be kept as short as pos-sible and must rise vertically up to the vent flue. A condensate drain is required at the lowest point.

All exceptional cases, and particularly those where a combined line is being installed, require special permission from the relevant building regulations inspector supervisor’s office.
