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. The plug  
must be plugged into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all  
local codes and ordinances.  
It should be connected to a  
120/208-240 V, 30 A, 60 Hz AC power  
supply. A 3 pole-4 wire grounding  
power outlet (NEMA type 14-30 R) is  
necessary.  
WARNING – Improper connection of  
the equipment grounding conductor  
can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or  
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.

Reinstallation of the machine lid  
^ When reinstalling the appliance lid,  
check the firm fit of the cover at the  
rear bracket for safe transport of the  
dryer.  
,When removing the machine lid  
to reduce the height of the machine,  
a built under spacer kit* is  
necessary.  
It must be installed by a Miele  
Service Technician.  
The cover plate of the built under kit  
replaces the appliance lid and  
ensures electrical safety.  
An installation manual is supplied with  
the built-under spacer kit.  
The electrical connection should be  
near the dryer and accessible at all  
times.  
Provide necessary space for the  
ducting when planning the  
undercounter installation.  
Extended machine feet* are  
recommended at a built-in height of  
more than 33 1/16" (840 mm).  
^ Set the extended machine feet at a  
height of 1 9/16" (40 mm).  
Remove the original machine feet  
and replace them with the extended  
ones.  
One or two filler frames* are  
recommended at a niche height of  
34 1/4" to 34 13/16" or 36" to 36 5/8"  
(870-885 / 915-930 mm).  
* (optional accessory)  
An existing continuous toe kick must  
be interrupted at the dryer location!

Leveling the dryer  
Determining the position of the  
exhaust connection  
The exhaust connection can be left at  
the rear of the dryer (factory standard)  
or moved to the left or right side of the  
dryer.  
Changing the position of the exhaust  
connection  
The dryer must be level to ensure safe  
and proper operation. Minor  
discrepancies do not however, have an  
adverse effect on operation.  
^ To remove the exhaust connection  
cover on the left or right side of the  
dryer turn it counterclockwise and  
take it out.  
^ Firmly press the cover into the rear  
opening.  
The machine can be leveled by turning  
the legs clockwise or counterclockwise  
as necessary.

Installation tips  
Room ventilation  
The room air, which is taken in when  
the dryer is in operation, is blown out  
via the exhaust vent. It is important,  
particularly if the room is small, to  
ensure adequate ventilation and air  
supply. Opening a window, for  
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must  
be provided between the machine  
and the floor. This airflow gap must  
not be blocked by a toe-kick or thick  
piled carpets.  
example, will allow more air to enter the  
room. Otherwise drying times and  
energy consumption may increase.  
Sufficient venting of the installation  
site, e.g. by opening a window or  
door, is essential for the dryer's  
operation. Otherwise drying times  
and energy consumption may  
increase.  
Do not install the dryer next to a  
refrigerator. The heat emanating  
from the dryer can affect the  
thermostat of the refrigerator,  
causing it to run continuously.

How to calculate the effective  
duct length  
Note:  
Maximum effective duct lengths:  
4" (100 mm) diameter  
5" (125 mm) diameter  
6" (150 mm) diameter  
66 ft (20 m)  
115 ft (35 m)  
108 ft (33 m)  
The overall duct length will determine  
the duct diameter (see the "Additional  
duct lengths" table). In Canada the  
exhaust duct must be 4" (102 mm) in  
diameter.  
* For rigid ducting only!  
Local building codes may vary.  
^ Measure the actual duct length  
needed to go from the dryer’s  
exhaust connection to the vent outlet:  
When flexible metal duct (transition  
duct) is permissible by local building  
codes, the total length must not  
exceed 7'10" (2.4 m).  
1. Establish the number of elbows or  
bends necessary, noting the type of  
bend, angle and radius involved  
(see the "Additional duct lengths"  
table).  
See the "Additional duct lengths"  
table for more information on  
maximum duct lengths and number  
of bends.  
2. Add the additional duct length (as  
derived by using the values  
specified in the "Additional duct  
lengths" table) and the actual duct  
length to get the effective length.  
Using the ring adapter up to an  
effective duct length of 33 ft (10 m) and  
a standard duct diameter of 4"  
(100 mm) will provide optimal drying  
times and energy consumption.  
Do not use the ring adapter if the  
effective duct length is more than 33 ft  
(10 m).  
Effective duct lengths over 66 ft (20 m)  
require a larger duct diameter.  
Longer ducts may lead to slight  
decreases in dryer efficiency if the  
necessary duct diameter is not  
employed.  
33  
 
Installation  
Tips about the duct work  
– The shorter the exhaust duct work,  
the more efficient the dryer will be.  
Expelled air is slowed down in the  
ducts due to friction against the inner  
walls. The shorter and smoother the  
inner walls are, the less friction will  
be created.  
– Check with your local building code  
to determine the maximum allowable  
duct length.  
– Only use rigid or flexible metal duct  
for exhausting. Non-metallic flexible  
hose should not be used, it is a  
potential fire hazard.  
– An elbow or bend creates more  
friction than a straight duct. An  
additional duct length factor must be  
added for each elbow or bend (see  
the "Additional duct lengths" table).  
This factor expresses the resistance  
of the bend in terms of a straight  
length of duct.  
– In the United Stated foil-type flexible  
ducts should only be used if  
identified for use by the manufacturer  
as compliant with the Outline for  
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,  
Subject ANSI/UL 2158A.  
In Canada, only flexible metal  
(foil-type) ducts specifically identified  
for use by the manufacturer should  
be used.  
The additional length factor is then  
added to the existing duct to give the  
effective length.  
A larger duct diameter helps reduce  
friction. Therefore the duct diameter  
and length should be increased  
simultaneously.  
– For best drying results avoid extra  
long ducting with too many bends,  
angles or tight corners.  
– Do not assemble the duct with  
screws or other fastening devices  
that extend into the duct and catch  
lint.
