and into the room. Note: It is very
important to always use the lint filter even
if you are venting the dryer outside. The
dryness sensing systems is tuned to
obtain best results when a lint filter is
fitted. Removing the lint filter will result in
reduced performance as well as all the lint
being exhausted into the room.
Three external venting options are
available.
a) Flush Venting
The dryer is vented via a galvanised metal
pipe through a hole in the wall. This is
suitable for floor and wall mounted dryers. If
the venting hole is to be drilled through a
wooden framed wall, e recommend that the
hole be lined with a metal tube. This stops
moisture and fine lint from accumulating in
the wall cavity.
Also if garments washed inflammable
solvents are placed in the dryer a fire could
result. The flames will exhaust through the
vent and possibly into the wall cavity.
A weather cap should also be used o the
outside wall to stop wind and rain from
entering the room. A venting kit is available
(P/N 319120).
b) Moveable Venting
As for Flush Venting but a flexible hose
allows the dryer to be moved from the wall
slightly. Suitable for floor mounted dryers
only.
A 2 meter flexible hose is available (part
number 460130) The hose screws into the
exhaust duct at the rear of the dryer.
