General principles of exhaust
air management
Damage caused by incorrectly
installed or missing ducting.
Moist air from the dryer can cause
damage in the room where the
appliance is installed.
Please observe the instructions in
“Installation of the ducting”.
Inconveniences (odours) or
damage (moisture) caused by
improper installation of the ducting
opening.
The drying air can be bothersome or
cause damage.
Install the open end of the ducting
where the exhaust air escapes far
away from windows, doors or other
openings.
While installing the ducting, keep the
tumble dryer disconnected from the
mains electricity supply.
Try to keep the ducting as short as
possible and try to avoid too many
tight bends or elbows. This will
prevent a reduced dryer performance
with long programme times and
excessive time and energy
consumption.
–
Ducting with a minimum diameter
of 100 mm
e.g. exhaust hose (made from plastic
or aluminium) or a plastic waste
water pipe (HT piping systems)
–
Open end of the ducting
e.g. wall pipe or window connection
General principles of the air
supply
The air sucked into the appliance for
the drying process is extracted from
the ambient air. It must therefore be
ensured that the room is sufficiently
ventilated.
Risk of suffocation due to the
use of fireplaces or other technical
equipment in the area of influence of
the installation room.
The tumble dryer extracts the air it
needs to dry items from the room air.
This could result in exhaust gases
from fireplaces or technical
equipment being drawn back into the
appliance.
When drying, always apply measures
to ensure sufficient room ventilation
in accordance with these operating
instructions.
Measures for sufficient room
ventilation
– Open any windows wide.
– Install a window contact switch: The
tumble dryer's electrical connection
only switches when a window is
open.
– Install a vent that cannot be closed in
the outer wall: approx. 237 cm
