Installation of the ducting
General principles concerning
exhaust air management
Damage caused by incorrectly
installed or missing ducting.
Moist air from the tumble dryer can
cause damage in the room where the
appliance is installed.
Please observe the instructions in
"Installation of the ducting".
Inconveniences (odours) or dam-
age (moisture) caused by improper
installation of the ducting opening.
The air from the tumble dryer can
result in inconveniences or damage.
Install the opening to the ducting far
away from windows, doors or other
openings.
While installing the ducting, keep the
tumble dryer disconnected from the
mains power supply.
Try to keep the ducting as short as
possible and try to avoid too many
tight bends or elbows. This will help to
stop a reduced dryer performance
with long programme times and ex-
cessive time and energy consumption.
Tip: Use any parts marked with a * (ex-
tra accessories):
- Ducting with a minimum diameter
of 100 mm
e.g. exhaust hose* (made from plastic
or aluminium) or a plastic waste wa-
ter pipe (HT piping systems)
- Opening to the ducting
e.g. wall pipe* or window connection*

General principles concerning
the air supply
The air drawn into the appliance for
the drying process is extracted from
the ambient air. You must therefore
ensure that the room is sufficiently
ventilated.
Risk of suffocation due to the
use of fireplaces or other technical
equipment in the area of influence in
the installation room.
The tumble dryer extracts the air it
needs to dry items from the ambient
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 ventila-
tion
- 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
