Installation - venting 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.
Installation - venting Calculating the effective 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 calculated by comparing the friction created by, for example, an elbow to that created by 1 metre of straight plastic piping (Table I).
Installation - venting Installation to the rear, left or right side of the appliance Calculation example At the rear The dryer is delivered with this connection open. ^ Fit one of the venting systems described on the following pages. Left or right side of the appliance A Wall pipe, with louvred vent = 1 x 3.8 m Additional duct length B/D 2 Elbows, 90° = 2 x 0.8 m Additional duct length C = 1.6 m 0.5 m plastic piping = 0.5 x 1 m Additional duct length E = 3.8 m = 0.
Installation - venting 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 100 mm C ducting hose is then connected to the adapter. ^ The following items are required: . . . . . flexible ducting hose . . .
Installation - venting Installation examples Connection to an exhaust flue 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 1. Pipe with connection piece (= supplied with the Miele wall vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose 3.
Installation - venting b Plastic piping Example 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). – A wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. – Suitable piping (C 100 mm) is available from your dealer or builders merchants.
Installation - venting c Connect directly to a wall vent Side view: 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 wall, . . . . . please read the installation instructions supplied with the Miele wall vent kit. . . .
