Miele PDR 910 EL Plan D'installation page 5

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).
The tumble dryer must not be connected to devices such as timers which would switch

it off automatically.
If local regulations require that a residual current device (GFCI) is installed, a type B
residual current device (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.
Supply air and exhaust air management
The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has been connected properly
and the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Ventilation
The air required for drying is taken from the room where the dryer is installed.
Ensure sufficient room ventilation, e.g., by means of ventilation openings that cannot be
closed in the exterior wall.
- It must not be possible to seal off ventilation openings.
- The room ventilation is only working properly if no low pressure occurs. Avoid low pres-
sure, e.g., by means of ventilation openings in the exterior wall.
- For each tumble dryer, there must be a cross section of 52.5 sq.in. (339 cm
tion opening.
The tumble dryer draws in air at the back. Therefore, there must be a sufficiently large gap
between the back of the machine and the wall.
This would otherwise hinder a sufficient flow of air as well as the operational perfor-
mance of the tumble dryer.
Observe the necessary spacing between the machine and the wall.
Do not reduce the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor (e.g., toe-
kicks, deep pile carpet).
Exhaust air management
The tumble dryer must only be operated if the humid exhaust air generated during drying
is conveyed outside through installed vent ducting.
The exhaust air should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of build-
ing.
Exceptions regarding the design of the exhaust air management system must be de-
signed in accordance with the applicable local building regulations. Seek approval from
the relevant building inspector.
- While installing the ducting, keep the tumble dryer disconnected from the power supply.
- Make sure that the plug connections are fully sealed.
- The duct is not to be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into
the duct and catch lint
- Only use heat-resistant materials with a temperature resistance of at least 175°F (80°C).
