The Miele drying systems
Tumble dryers are a convenient way to dry laundry in a short time. The principle is that
warm air is passed through the garments to remove residual moisture from the fibres.
Miele offer two different types of drying system. The main features of each are briefly
explained here.
Condenser tumble dryers
A condenser tumble dryer allows flexibility
of positioning, as the only connection
required is an electrical socket. Instead of
ducting moist air to the outside, condenser
dryers cool it in a closed circuit. The
moisture condenses and is collected in an
integrated container, which must be
emptied regularly. Miele condenser dryers
also have the option of emptying
condensate via an integrated condensate
drain hose into a sink or, suitable waste
pipe.
Condenser dryers achieve a 2 star energy
efficiency rating.
Heat pump tumble dryers
The very economical Miele heat pump
dryer offers the same convenience and
flexibility as a condenser dryer, but uses up
to 50% less energy. This type of drying
system is particularly kind to your laundry
and uses up to 22% less electricity than the
classification required for achieving energy
efficiency rating of 6 stars. This exemplary
Miele appliance concept was awarded the
certificate* for “Best customer benefit” for
the best combination of energy
consumption, noise level, drying time and
condenser dryer efficiency.
