Miele T 4422 C operating instructions External condensed water outlet, Pulling out the drain hose

External condensed water outlet

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 off directly if the machine is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.

The drain hose (approx. 2 m long) is stored in the dryer. It must be pulled out of the dryer to its full extent if condensed water is to be drained externally.

Maximum delivery head: 1 m.

If it is not long enough, an extension hose is available as an optional accessory through your dealer or from the Miele Spare Parts Dept.

Pulling out the drain hose

From the back of the dryer at the top:

^Unclip the drain hose (1).

^Then pull it off holder (2).

From the back of the dryer at the bottom:

^Then pull the drain hose completely out of the dryer towards the left (4) (See illustration).

,Important: do not let the drain hose become kinked as this could damage it.

,If you want to drain the water off into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage.

Use the bow-shaped guide to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked (see "Front view" illustration).
