Securing The Tumble Dryer Against Slippage; Room Ventilation - Miele PT 5186 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation and connection
Securing the tumble dryer against
slippage
,
In the following cases, the feet of
the tumble dryer must be secured
with clamps* (available as an
optional accessory).
– If it is being installed on an
existing plinth.
Instead of using clamps, all-round
plinth edging in the area of the feet
of the dryer may be sufficient.
– When a venting system with
plastic piping is used.
– When the tumble dryer is being
installed on a mobile or off-shore
installation.
* Clamps are supplied with tumble dryers that
are designed for off-shore installation.

Room ventilation

,
As the air required for drying is
drawn from the room in which the
dryer is installed, the room must be
sufficiently ventilated, e.g. by vents
in the outside wall which are
permanently open.
,
The tumble dryer draws air in
from the back. For this reason, an
appropriate gap must be maintained
between the back of the dryer and
the wall (see "Installation positions").
Do not block the gap between the
bottom of the tumble dryer and the
floor with plinth facings, deep pile
carpet etc. This would hinder a
sufficient flow of air to the dryer.
