6.5 Exhaust dimensioning
It is important that the machine has correct air volume compared to each machines power.
If the air flow is smaller or larger this will result in a longer drying period.
If the outlet pipe is long or the ventilation is not properly designed we recommend to clean the outlet pipes periodi-
cally. Usually, longer ducts need more frequent cleaning.
The exhaust pipes shall be short in order for the machine to work in the best way.
All cover panels must be mounted in order for the machine to work in the best way.
6.6 Adjusting the dryer (not valid for machines with heat pump)
It is important that the dryer has the correct air volume compared to each dryer’s effect. If the air flow is below the
minimum, the dryer will be forced to switch the heating off thus prolonging the time it will take to dry the load.
An air flow above the needed is unnecessary and can result in a cold laundry room and noise from the piping and out-
let and in extreme cases prolonged drying time
For brief evacuations and where there are high airflows, the tumble dryer must be adjusted to optimal flow. One
way in which this can be done is by using an “Iris valve”, a valve specially designed to regulate airflow.

is hereby possible to find the corresponding air flow into the room and through the dryer and exhaust.
