Installation - venting General Important Before operating the tumble dryer, a suitable ducting system must be installed to carry the moist air from the dryer to the outside. This can be: . . . flexible ducting hose, or plastic piping connected to the dryer, or . . . the dryer may be connected directly to the wall vent. – Before installing the ducting system, ensure that the appliance is not connected to the power supply. – The ducting outlet (e.g.
Installation - venting Calculating the total duct length : Friction against the inner walls of the ducting will slow down the expelled air as it passes through. An elbow, bend, non-return flap or wall vent creates more friction than a straight duct. The friction created by each of these is expressed as an additional duct length factor. The additional length factors are calculated by comparing the friction created by, for example, an elbow to that created by 1 metre of straight plastic piping (Table I).

Pipe with connection piece (= supplied with the Miele wall vent kit) 2. Adapter for flexible hose 3.
Installation - venting b Plastic piping Example Plastic piping is a good option where the vented air has to be ducted for some distance. The smooth walls of the pipe create less friction for the vented air than the walls of a flexible vent hose, for example. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping. The following items are required: – An adapter* (C 100 mm). – A wall vent kit* or window vent kit*. – Suitable piping (C 100 mm) is available from your dealer or builders merchants.
Installation - venting c Connect directly to a wall vent Side view: The best method of venting the dryer is to connect it directly to the outside wall of a room. Time and energy consumption are better with plastic piping. This involves boring through an outside wall. A wall pipe* and a flexible foam gasket* must be used (* Miele optional accessories).
