Machine Dimensions and Installation Clearances (Inches)

Diagrams illustrate the machine's dimensions and required installation clearances in inches. These measurements are crucial for ensuring adequate space for service work and proper operation. Key aspects covered include:

• Front, side, and top views of the dryer.
• Overall machine dimensions (height, width, depth).
• Door opening diameter.
• Required clearances from walls for ventilation and service access (e.g., >13/16" side gap, >39 3/8" rear gap).
• Specific installation configurations showing electrical connection (EL), venting (KG), cooling air (AL), and potential equalization (PA) points.
• Details for plinth installations (APCL OB/SST) and washer-dryer stacking configurations, including overall height and connection points.

Installation and Planning Notes

Installation Requirements

The tumble dryer must be connected to a power supply compliant with all appropriate local and national legislation and regulations. All utility regulations, occupational safety standards, and applicable technical standards must be observed.

General Operating Conditions

Ambient temperature in the installation room should be between +35°F to +95°F (+2°C to +35°C).

Electrical Connection

The dryer is supplied with a power cord and plug. Connection to the electrical system must conform to national and local codes and regulations and be performed by a qualified electrician. The data tag specifies nominal power consumption and fuse rating. Connection can be hard-wired or via a plug-and-socket connection (IEC 60309-1). Miele recommends plug-and-socket for easier electrical safety checks. If hard-wired, a dual circuit breaker is required. The plug connector or isolator switch must be easily accessible and lockable if the dryer is disconnected. Modifications or servicing of the ground conductor must be done by a qualified electrician. Conversion to alternative voltages must be performed by Miele Technical Service or an authorized dealer. Timers that automatically switch off the dryer are not permitted.

Vent Connection

Hot, moist exhaust air should be vented to the atmosphere via the shortest possible route or a suitable vent system. Ducting should slope downwards to the air exit to prevent condensation. If ducting slopes upwards, a condensate trap with a drip tray or floor drain connection is necessary. Condensate must not flow back into the machine. Venting via an external wall is permissible, but measures should be taken to minimize risk to neighboring buildings. Exhaust ducting must not be reduced in cross-section or obstructed. Filters and louvers are not permitted in the ducting. Congestion can reduce performance or trigger safety shutdowns. For multiple dryers connected to a common duct, the duct cross-sectional area must be increased, and each dryer needs a non-return valve. A non-return device is recommended for merged exhaust air ducts to prevent backflow. Complex ducting may require specialist calculation.

Air Intake

The air supply is taken from the installation site. Adequate ventilation is required. Fresh air intake must compensate for extracted exhaust air to prevent a vacuum. Air intake grilles must not be obstructed.

Equipotential Bonding and Grounding

An equipotential bond with good contact connection must be provided in accordance with national and local regulations. Connection material can be provided on-site or via a Miele Technical Service kit.

Peak Load/Energy Management

The machine can be connected to a peak-load or energy-management system using an optional kit. When activated, heating is deactivated, and a display message is shown.

Interface

The dryer can be installed with an XKM 3200 WL PLT communication module for WiFi or LAN interface. The LAN interface complies with SELV and uses an RJ45 connector.

Installation and Anchoring

The machine must be installed on a perfectly smooth, level, and firm surface capable of withstanding the loads. The floor load is concentrated via the machine feet. The dryer should be leveled using the adjustable feet.

Plinth Installation

Installation is possible on a machine plinth (optional Miele accessory) or a concrete plinth. The quality and strength of the concrete must be assessed according to the machine load. Raised concrete plinths must be adequately bonded to the floor.

Washer-Dryer Stack

The dryer can be installed as a washer-dryer stack with a Miele Washing Machine using a stacking kit (optional accessory). Installation of the stacking kit should be performed by Miele Technical Service or an authorized Miele service technician.
