28
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.
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 electri-
cian.
The electrical connection may only be made to an electrical system
provided in accordance with all appropriate local and national legisla-
tion, regulations and guidelines. Please also observe the regulations
set out by your insurance provider and energy supplier, accident pre-
vention regulations, as well as recognised codes of practice.
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 estab-
lishing 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 in accordance with 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 which ensures a contact opening of
more than 3 mm. These include circuit breakers, fuses and contact-
ors (IEC/EN 60947).
