Installation - venting

General

Important

Before operating the appliance, a suitable venting system must be in- stalled to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside.

Before installing the ducting system, ensure that the appliance is not con- nected to the power supply.

The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall) should be installed in such a way that the moist expelled air . .

. . . cannot be drawn back into the room in which the dryer is installed;

. . . cannot cause a nuisance or any damage to the building.

Adequate ventilation is essential as the dryer uses the room air. Ventila- tion can be maintained by:

-an open window;

-an air inlet which cannot be blocked in windows, doors and outside wall vents;

-a window switch which prevents the dryer being used when the win- dow is closed.

Avoid:

very long venting systems

too many bends or corners; tight cor- ners.

Otherwise the drying result will not be as good and drying will take longer and use more energy.

Suitable materials for venting pipework:

flexible vent hose*, plastic piping, galvanised steel piping (with a diam- eter of at least 100 mm).

for venting directly outside:

a wall vent kit* or a window vent kit*.

*These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or from build- ers’ merchants.

Procedure:

^First measure the duct length re- quired. Calculate the effective duct length and establish the internal duct diameter required (use the tables on the following pages).

Longer ducting will require a larger duct diameter.

^Finally decide which venting system you are going to install (see "Venting systems" in this section).
