Prob lem P ossible cause Remedy There is a build up of fluff. Fluff is principally the r esult of friction when garments are being worn and washed. Machine drying hardly causes any fluf f to form and, as has been es - tablished by resear ch insti - tutes, has no effect on the lifetime of fabric. Fluff is collected on the fluf f filters and can be e[...]

Prob lem P ossible cause Remedy The drying process goes on too long or even s witches off . Important: Before attempting to remedy one of the fol - lowing causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again to start the programme again.

General Important Before operating the appliance, a suitable venting system must be in - stalled to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. – Before installing the ducting system, ensure that the appliance is not con - nected to the power supply . – The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall) should be installed in such a way that the moist [...]

Calculating the effective duct length: Friction against the inner walls of the vent duct will slow down the expelled air as it passes through the duct. An el - bow , bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates mor e friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an ad ditional length factor . The additional leng[...]

Example A W all pipe, with louvred vent = 1 x 3.8 m Additional duct length = 3.8 m B/D 2 Elbows, 90° = 2 x 0.8 m Additional duct length = 1.6 m C 0.5 m plastic piping = 0.5 x 1 m Additional duct length = 0.5 m E Side connection, left = 1 m Additional duct length = 1.0 m Effective duct length = 6.9 m Result: A duct diameter of 100 mm is adequate[...]

V enting systems The various venting systems which are possible are described on the following pages. a Flexible ducting hose b Plastic piping or galvaninsed steel piping c Connecting directly to the wall vent a Flexib le ducting hose This is a simple, cost effective way of directing the moist air outside.

Pipe with connection piece (= supplied with the Miele wall vent kit) 2. Ad[...]

b V enting system with plastic piping Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to be ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe create less friction for the vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping. ^ The following items are r equired: . . [...]

c Connecting directly to a wall vent The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. This involves boring through an outside wall. Because the ducting is very shor t this system is very efficient in terms of time and en - ergy consumption. ^ A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gas - ket* must be used * (bo[...]
