Fresh Air; Exhaust Duct - Electrolux TE1220E Installation Manual

6.2 Fresh air

For maximum efficiency and the shortest possible drying time, it is important to ensure that fresh air is able to enter
the room from the outside in the same volume as that blown out of the room.
To avoid draught in the room it is important to place the air inlet behind the machine.
The area of the air inlet opening is recommended to be five times the size of the exhaust pipe area. The area of the
inlet opening is the area through which the air can flow without resistance from the grating/slatted cover.
Note!
Gratings/slatted covers often block half of the total fresh air vent area. Remember to take this into account.
