Installation
43
It is recommended the tumble dryer is connected with a suitable plug and socket in accord-
ance with IEC60309-1, however if the installation requires a hard-wired connection, an all-
pole means of isolation must be provided on site. Switches with a minimum contact gap
greater than 3mm are suitable disconnectors. These include circuit breakers (MCB), fuses
and contactors (VDE0660) (IEC/EN60947)
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.
Limitations to dryer operation due to reconnecting/removing jumpers.
Modifying/removing jumpers at the heater elements in order to set lower heater ratings
may result in limitations to dryer operation. Depending on the type of laundry, length of
vent ducting, and outside temperature, the desired drying results may no longer be
achieved. In the event of a reduction, the specified consumption data will no longer be
achieved.
If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in accordance with local regu-
lations, a residual current device typeB (sensitive to universal current) must be used.
After installing the tumble dryer, equipotential bonding must be established. The equipo-
tential bonding must comply with the local and national installation specifications.
Air intake/exhaust air
The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has been connected properly and
the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Steam connection (only for steam-heated variants)
The steam connection must only be carried out by a registered installation technician. The
enclosed installation instructions must be observed as they are important for the steam
connection.
Hot water connection (only for hot water-heated variants)
The hot water connection may only be carried out by a registered installation technician.
The installation instructions must be observed as they are important for the hot water con-
nection.
If a stopcock is desired, it must be fitted on site.
Gas connection (only for gas-heated variants)
The gas connection may only be carried out by a registered installation technician in ac-
cordance with the applicable national regulations.
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
MieleCustomer Service Department. Information 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.
