Installation and connection
Ventilating the installation area
Function of Miele condenser dryer: The condenser dryer separates the mixture of water and laundry (the wet load) into water and dry laundry itself.
The water is heated / evaporated, then condensed and collected into condensed water container.
The remaining dry laundry remains in the drum.
Operation of Miele condenser dryer: The dryer circulates some air (trapped with wet laundry inside a reversibly rotating drum) via lint filters, heat exchanger and heaters, in a closed loop.
The heat exchanger (condenser) needs cooling, so the dryer circulates also ambient air, through separate channels across heat exchanger, in an open loop. ( these two loops do not mix).
Returning ambient air warms up the room with dry heat.
Practically all energy, taken from the electrical wall outlet, remains in the room as dry heat.
You must therefore take measures, especially in small rooms, to provide sufficient ventilation, by opening windows for instance. Otherwise, longer running times may be expected.
Before transport at a later date
After every drying, a small quantity of condensed water will collect in the pump area. This condensed water can leak out when the dryer is tipped. We therefore recommend starting the Timed cold program for about one minute before transport. Residual condensed water will be drained into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose.
