Accessories - Bosch Nexxt DLX Series Operating, Care And Installation Instructions Manual

The Bosch dryer must be vented
outdoors. To prevent build up of
moisture and accumulation of lint
indoors, as well as to maintain
maximum drying efficiency, it is
recommended that the dryer is vented
outdoors.
Exhaust air outlet on the dryer
The dryer is delivered with an exhaust
air outlet on the rear of the appliance.
To take account of the spatial
requirements and an existing exhaust
air system, the following connection
options are possible for the exhaust air
outlet:
- on right side of the appliance,
- on the underside of the appliance.

Special exhaust air connections must
be obtained from our customer service
for either connection type (see
page 8).

A qualified technician should change
the exhaust air outlet to the optional
connection location.
Ductwork
8
To ensure optimum performance, the
ducting system of the dryer should be
as short as possible with a minimum
number of elbows. Your dryer will work
best when the venting system has as
few air flow restrictions as possible.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
recommended may extend drying time,
cause lint to accumulate and affect
dryer performance and dryer life.
Four inch (approx. 100 mm) diameter
ducting should be used. Use either
rigid metal or flexible metal ducting
material. DO NOT use plastic or
non metal duct with this dryer.
DO NOT assemble the ductwork with
screws or fasteners that extend into the
duct. They will serve as an
accumulation point for lint.
Joints should be secured with
aluminium tape.

All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each duct section
must point away from the dryer.
Whether connecting to an existing
venting system or a new venting
system, make sure that all ducting is
clean and free of lint.
The maximum permitted length for both
rigid and flexible metal duct is shown in
the table below.

Note:
Side and bottom exhaust installations
have a 90° turn inside the dryer. To
determine maximum exhaust length,
add one 90° turn to the chart.
More than two 90° turns are not
recommended. For best performance,
separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of

Exhaust vent hood
The exhaust duct must end with an
approved exhaust vent hood with
swing out damper(s). DO NOT use an
exhaust vent hood with magnetic
latches.
To avoid exhaust restriction, the outlet
must be a minimum of 12 inches (30
cm) above ground level or any other
obstructing surface.

The parts required for the exhaust air
system (elbows, lines, exhaust air
outlets) are not included in standard
