Installation site
,
Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
,
The cool air intake panel at the
front of the dryer must not be
blocked or covered, e.g. by a
laundry basket, as this would cause
a fault.
Building under a continuous worktop/
in a row of kitchen units
,
It is very important to avoid a
build-up of heat.
The warm air which is expelled from
the rear of the dryer must be able to
dissipate.
Warm air which cannot dissipate
could cause a fault.
A build-up of heat can be avoided by:
–
Adjusting the screw feet so that there
is a gap of at least 20 mm between
the floor and the bottom of the dryer.
–
Creating a gap for the dryer in the
kitchen furniture plinth facing.
–
Creating ventilation gaps in the
kitchen unit.
N.B. When built under, drying times
may be longer.
,
The dryer should not be installed
next to a refrigeration appliance. The
warm air expelled from the rear of
the dryer would increase the
temperature around the refrigeration
appliance's heat exchanger causing
the compressor to run continuously.
If it is not possible to install the dryer
anywhere else, then the refrigeration
appliance must be sealed off from
the dryer.
,
A building-under kit (Miele
accessory, available to order) with a
coverplate to replace the
appliance´s lid is required. It must
be fitted by a suitably qualified
person to ensure electrical safety.
N.B. If you wish to push the tumble
dryer under a worktop and there is
space to do this without removing
the lid the building-under kit is not
necessary. Otherwise the
building-under kit is essential.
–
The building-under kit is supplied
with its own installation instructions.
–
N.B. When built under, drying times
may be longer.
–
The electrical socket must be
located in an accessible position
near the appliance.
With niche heights of:
–
830-840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.
–
870-885 / 915-930 mm, one or two
raising kits* are required.
