Venting Venting The appliance expels hot, moist air which must be able to flow freely from the tumble dryer vent. Tumble Dryer Vents View from left View from right The most efficient way of venting the expelled air is via a vent hose through to the outside.
Venting Venting through a Vent Hose The vent hose expelling the hot air should be 100 mm diameter and no longer than 4 meters. Avoid bends in the vent hose as this will reduce the air flow. The maximum length of the vent hose may be: 4 meters with 0 bends, or 2 meters with 2 bends.
Venting Venting without a Vent Hose If a vent hose is not connected to the tumble dryer, the air can be expelled into the installation room providing the following precautions are observed. • The vent(s) in use must be at least 30 cm from the wall or any other object.
