Dryers With Gas Heating - Miele PDR 914 Operating And Installation Instructions

Always seek approval from the appropriate authority (gas installer, chimney sweep, etc.) to
confirm that the machine can be operated without risk and that negative pressure of over
4 Pa can be prevented.
If multiple tumble dryers are to be connected to one exhaust air duct, a non-return flap

must be installed directly on the duct for each tumble dryer.
If this requirement is not observed, the tumble dryers may be damaged and their electrical
safety could be affected.
The electrical plug must be easily accessible so that the tumble dryer can be discon-

nected from the power supply at any time. The operator must be able to check from any ac-
cess point that the electrical plug is still removed.
If the appliance is hard wired, protective measures must be made on site to disconnect

the tumble dryer from the electrical supply.
Do not block the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and the floor with toe-

kicks, deep pile carpet, etc.
Ensure that no closeable door, sliding door, or an oppositely hinged door is installed that

would hinder the drum door being opened in any way.
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a Miele authorized technician in

order to protect the user from harm.
The dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes

or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water

and/or weather.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can

cause improper operation.

The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installa-
tion Code, CSA B149.1.
The dryer and its manually operated appliance main gas valve must be disconnected

from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pres-
sures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the equipment

shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
A minimum 1/8-in NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be

installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
Take these safety precautions if you smell gas
- Extinguish all flames immediately.
- Close the on-site gas shut-off device, the gas shut-off device on the gas meter or the
main gas shut-off device immediately.
- Open all windows and doors immediately.
