Installation
External water drain
When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained directly if the machine is installed near a sink or a stand pipe so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.
The drain hose (approx. 6 ft [2 m] long) is stored in the dryer. It must be pulled out of the dryer to its full extent to ensure proper external draining. Maximum delivery head: 4 ft (1.2 m).
If the hose is not long enough, an extension hose is available as an optional accessory from the Miele.
