Notes For The Installer - Miele T 6185 Operating Instructions Manual

Notes for the installer

The Tumble Dryer may only be installed and
commissioned by a Service Engineer or by an
authorized Service Dealer.
Pay careful attention to the enclosed installa-
tion instructions and the installation diagram.
Do not install the dryer in a room where there
is danger of frost.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for
operation in the room where it is installed.
Ensure that the air being drawn into the ma-
chine is fresh and that it does not contain
chlorine, fluoride or solvent-vapours.
Machines heated by gas and electricity must
not be installed in the same room as dry clean-
ing machines which use solvents containing
CFCs. Escaping vapours break down into hy-
drochloric acid if ignited. This would damage
any laundry as well as the machine.
If installed in an adjacent room there must be
no exchange of air between them.
The area around the dryer - particularly
around the central air inlet must be kept free
from fluff particles, so that these do not get
taken into the machine. Any fluff trapped in the
machine could lead to operational damage.
The exhaust must not be led into a chimney
used by another gas, coal or oil-heated appli-
ance. The warm humid air should be directed
by the shortest route into the open air or into a
suitable venting duct. The duct must be de-
signed and installed to accommodate the high
throughput of air (few bends, as short a duct
as possible, well shaped and leakproof joints).
No filters or louvres should be built into the ex-
haust duct.
The connection between the exhaust ducting
and the exhaust connection on the dryer must
be airtight.
Where the exhaust is ducted directly into the
open air, the end of the duct should be pro-
tected against the weather, ideally by a down-
o
ward angle of 90 .
To facilitate subsequent cleaning of the duct,
cleaning flaps or covers should be fitted on the
bends wherever possible.
With upward sloping exhaust ducting a con-
densate drain must be made at the lowest
point.
The dryer is fitted with an exhaust fan which
can be heard during operation. The noise
level of the fan can be reduced by fitting a
muffle to the dryer vent stub (available from
trade outlets).
The machine does not need to be installed on
a base, however any unevenness in the floor
must be compensated for.
The machine must be installed evenly for it to
function smoothly.
To facilitate any subsequent service or mainte-
nance work, the minimum dimensions and dis-
tance required from the wall, as shown in the
installation diagram, must be observed.
