Condensation; Silencer - Miele PUR 98 D Manual

Condensation

If the exhaust ducting is to run through
cool rooms or ceiling space, for
example, the significant variations in
temperature between the different areas
can cause condensation to form.
Insulate the exhaust ducting to reduce
temperature variations.
If the exhaust ducting is to be laid
horizontally, it must be laid with a
downwards sloping gradient of at least
1 cm per meter. This is to ensure that
condensation cannot drain back into
the cooker hood.
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, it is advisable to also install a
condensate trap for collecting and
evaporating any potential condensation.
Condensate traps for 125 mm or
150 mm diameter exhaust ducting are
available as optional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and as closely as possible to the cooker
hood above the exhaust connection.
The arrow on the casing indicates the
direction of airflow.
Miele shall not accept warranty claims
for any functional defects or damage
caused by inadequate exhaust
ducting.

Silencer

To reduce noise levels even further, a
silencer (optional accessory) can be
installed in the exhaust ducting.
In extraction mode, the silencer not only
reduces noise from the fan outside the
house, but also sounds originating
outside reaching the kitchen through
the exhaust ducting (e.g. traffic noise).
For this reason, the silencer must be
positioned as close as possible to the
ducting exit .
