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).
