~
Adequate ventilation is essential to
avoid the danger of asphyxia and toxic
fumes where another appliance which
also uses the room air (e.g. gas, oil or
coal fired heater, continuous flow or
other water heater) is installed in the
same or an adjacent room.
To ensure safe operation, and to
prevent gases given off by these
appliances being drawn back into the
room, an underpressure of 4 Pa is the
maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by:
– air inlets in the external wall which
cannot be closed or blocked, or
– by fitting a window contact switch
which ensures that the appliance
can only be operated when the
window is open.
If in doubt, contact Miele Technical Ser-
vice.
~
When installing multiple dryers to
one collective exhaust duct, a
non-return flap per dryer must be
installed directly to the collective duct.
Otherwise the dryers could be
damaged and the electrical safety
affected.
~
A build-up of lint will block the
airflow, heating and ventilation, which
will impair the efficiency of the dryer. Be
sure to clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
~
Do not use the dryer without the
built-in lint filter in place. Fire hazard!
If the lint filter is damaged it must be
replaced immediately.
