Properly transporting and installing your Miele TEA 235 WP Heat Pump Tumble Dryer is crucial for its optimal performance and longevity. Here’s a detailed guide:
Transporting the Dryer:
- To prevent damage or injury, always handle the dryer with care, ensuring stability.
- If transporting the dryer horizontally, only tip it onto its left or right side.
- When using a handcart or trolley for upright transport, rest only the left or right side of the dryer on it.
- Secure the fixings at the back of the lid to prevent it from detaching during transit.
- Carry the tumble dryer by holding the front feet and the protruding lid at the back.
Installation:
- Ensure the dryer is perfectly level for optimal operation; use the adjustable feet to compensate for uneven floors.
- Do not install the dryer behind a door that restricts its full opening.
- Avoid making any alterations to the dryer to prevent fire and explosion risks.
- Wait at least one hour after installation before switching on the dryer to allow the heat pump to settle.
Ventilation:
- Do not block the cool air intake at the front of the dryer, or the gap between the bottom of the dryer and the floor.
- Provide adequate room ventilation to prevent gas backflow and ensure efficient drying.
- Ensure permanent room ventilation is available during every drying program.
- Before moving the dryer, run a short program (approximately 1 minute) to collect any condensed water.
Additional Installation Considerations:
- Ensure there's adequate space for warm air to be directed away from the dryer.
- The appliance lid must remain fixed.
- The electrical socket must be easily accessible near the appliance.
- Drying durations may slightly increase if the dryer is installed under a worktop.
Following these steps, based on the Miele TEA 235 WP Heat Pump Tumble Dryer instruction manual, will help ensure safe and effective use of your new appliance.
