Electrical connection U.K. All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

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 tha[...]

Calculating the total duct length : Friction against the inner walls of the ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor . The additional length factors are [...]

Calculation example A Wall 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 . 5x1m Additional duct length = 0.5 m E Side connection, left = 1 m Additional duct length = 1.0 m Total duct length = 6.9 m Result: A duct diameter of 100 mm is adequa[...]

Venting systems The various venting systems which are possible are described on the following pages. a Flexible ducting hose b Plastic piping c Connecting directly to a wall vent a Flexible ducting hose This is a simple, cost effective way of directing the moist air outside. The adapter supplied is fitted into the vent opening on the dryer and the [...]

Installation examples Window vent 1. Window vent kit (fitted in a "plexiglass" pane) (separate fitting instructions are supplied with the Miele window vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose Connection to an exhaust flue 1. Pipe with connection piece (= supplied with the Miele wall vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose 3. Exhaust flue ins[...]

b 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 required: – An adapter* ( C 100 mm).[...]

c Connect directly to a wall vent The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping. This involves boring through an outside wall. A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gasket* must be used (* Miele optional accessories). A Before drilling into the wal[...]
