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
. . . or the dryer may be connected
directly to the wall vent.
– Before installing the ducting system,
ensure that the machine 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.
–
Adequate ventilation is essential as
the dryer uses the room air.
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 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).
^
Then decide which type of ducting
you want to use (see "Venting
systems" in this section).
