Ventilation; Before Moving The Tumble Dryer Again (E.g. When Moving House) - Miele TWD 364 WP Operating Instructions Manual

Ventilation

The cool air intake at the front of the
tumble dryer must not be blocked or
covered. This would hinder a
sufficient intake of cool air for the
heat exchanger.
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 tumble
dryer.
Adequate ventilation has to be
provided to avoid the backflow of
gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open
fires.
Air which is taken in to cool the heat
exchanger is then blown back out of the
dryer and warms up the air in the room.
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the
room, e.g. by opening a window. The
drying time will otherwise take longer
(higher energy requirement).
The heat pump that is essential to
the operation of this tumble dryer
generates a lot of heat inside its
casing. It must be possible to
dissipate this heat well.
Otherwise loads could take longer to
dry or the tumble dryer might sustain
damage in the long term.
Permanent room ventilation during
every drying programme and the
ventilation gap between the bottom
of the tumble dryer and the floor are
mandatory requirements at all times.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
A small quantity of condensed water
that remains in the area around the
pump after the drying process can run
out if the tumble dryer is tilted.
Recommendation: start a programme
for approx. 1 minute before transporting
the dryer. Any remaining condensed
water will then be fed into the
condensed water container (which you
will need to empty again) or out through
the drain hose.
