Exhaust Damper
There is also an exhaust damper located on the rear of the console. This is to expel the
humidity laden moist air. The dryer dries by moving a large volume of dry air over the
items to be dried. The dryer is not an oven. An oven dryer would likely use temperatures
in excess of 212º F that would likely boil off the water and may leave water mark
residue.
If the system is used in a confined area it may be necessary to connect the dryer
exhaust to the external vent (Similar to your home hot air clothes dryer). There is an air
flow control damper located on the back side of the machine. This is used to control the
flow of humid air leaving the dryer. The damper is factory set to ¾ open. If a long vent
hose is used to exhaust the air, open the vent to full open.
Drain Connections
There is a water drain in the bottom of the drying chamber. This drain has a hose and a
clamp type valve. In most application this does not require any connection. However if
the items you are drying carry excessive amounts of water into the dryer, this drain may
have to connected to a permanent drain or to a collection vessel.
