AIR EXHAUST
The tumble dryer must only be operated when it
is correctly
Þ
tted with exhaust duct.
Connecting the exhaust duct to the dryer
You will need to purchase a UL-CSA-approved
4" ridged metal exhaust duct. The dryer is delivered
with the stub pipe attached to the rear exhaust
outlet, though the exhaust duct can be attached to
either the left or the right exhaust outlet.
To connect the exhaust duct to the left or right side
outlet, follow the steps below:
1. Using a
ß
athead screw-driver, turn the exhaust
outlet cover you plan to use to the right or left to
align the tabs holding the cover in place.
2. Remove the exhaust outlet cover.
3. Remove the stub pipe from the rear exhaust outlet
and place it in the outlet you plan to use.
4. Use the exhaust outlet cover you removed from
the to cover the rear exhaust outlet.
Asko dryers have a "T-style" exhaust
vent that allows you to connect the duct
on the rear, on the left, or on the right
side

The duct must not be assembled with screws or
other fasteners that extend into the duct and catch
lint.
To connect the exhaust duct to the outlet, follow the
steps below:
• Push the duct onto the stub pipe and secure it
with a clamp
• After you push the dryer into place, check for
kinks in the duct.
Excessive duct length and too many bends can
impede drying performance. We recommend that
you cut o
Ű
any excess exhaust duct and run the duct
with as few bends as possible. Make any necessary
bends as gentle as possible.
Maximum duct length of 60 feet. A maximum
of 4 elbows may be used, but 4 feet of duct must
subtracted from the total vent length for every 90°
elbow used.
To reduce the risk of
Þ
re, this appliance must
be exhausted OUTDOORS or the equivalent. Never
cover the end of the dryer stub or exhaust duct with
anything to catch lint, except for UL approved vent
basket.
