Installation - Extraction Ducting; General - Miele PWT 6089 Vario Operating And Installation Instructions

General

,
Before operating the appliance
stack, a suitable ducting system
must be installed to carry the moist
air from the dryer to the outside.
The appliance stack must be
completely disconnected from the
electrical supply while the ducting
system is installed.
The venting outlet (e.g. in a wall) should
be installed in such a way that the moist
expelled air: .
. . . cannot be drawn back into the room
in which the appliance is installed;
. . . cannot cause any damage to the
building or other nuisance.
The dryer uses the room air. It is
therefore essential to ensure adequate
ventilation to avoid the danger of
asphyxia and toxic fumes caused by
gases given off by other appliances
being drawn back into the room.
. . . Insufficient ventilation will also
cause drying times to be considerably
longer.
Where ducting is laid at a gradient, it is
advisable to provide drainage for
condensate at the lowest point, e.g. into
a container or if possible an
appropriately located floor gully.

Ventilation can be maintained by:
– an open window.
– a window contact switch.
This prevents the dryer being used
when a window is shut.
– air inlets in the external wall which
cannot be closed or blocked,
min. 7' 9" (237 cm
Avoid:
– very long ducting systems.
– too many tight bends or corners.
Otherwise the drying result will be less
effective, and it will take longer and use
more energy.
Suitable materials
– for the ventilation ducting:
flexible ducting* or plastic piping
with a diameter of at least 4"
(100 mm).
– for venting to the outside:
a wall pipe kit* or a window vent kit*.
* optional accessory
