Installation - venting

General

Important

Before operating the tumble dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. This can be:

. . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic piping connected to the dryer, or

. . . the dryer may be connected directly to the wall vent.

Before installing the ducting system, ensure that the appliance is not connected to the power supply.

The ducting outlet (e.g. wall pipe) 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 any damage to the building or other nuisance.

The dryer uses the room air. It is therefore essential to ensure adequate ventilation to avoid the danger of asphyxia caused by gases given off by other appliances being drawn back into the room. Insufficient ventilation will also cause drying times to be considerably longer.

Ventilation 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 window is closed.

Avoid:

very long ducting systems

too many bends or corners, tight corners

Otherwise the drying result will be less effective and it will take longer and use more energy.

Suitable materials

for the ventilation ducting: flexible ducting* or plastic piping with a diameter of at least 100 mm.

for venting to the outside:

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

*Available as an optional accessory from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Procedure

￿First measure the duct length required. Calculate the effective duct length and establish the internal duct diameter required (use the tables on the next page).

￿The longer the ducting, the larger the internal diameter of the ducting required.

￿Then decide which type of ducting you want to use (see "Venting systems" in this section).
