Ventilation; Before Moving The Tumble Dryer Again (E.g. When Moving Houses) - Miele TMV 840 WP Operating Instructions Manual

Installation and connection

Ventilation


The cool air intake at the front of
the 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 back flow 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. It is therefore very important to
ensure adequate ventilation, e.g. by
opening a window. Otherwise drying
durations may be longer (increased
energy requirement).

Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving houses)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
of the pump. This water can run out if
the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is
being moved. Recommendation: Run
the Warm air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
the tumble dryer. Any remaining
condensed water will then be fed into
the condensed water container, which
can then be emptied, or out through the
drain hose.
