must

be

vented

outdoors.

To

prevent

buildĆup

of

moisture

and

accumulation

of

lint

indoors,

as

well

as

to

maintain

maximum

drying

efficiency,

it

is

The

dryer

is

delivered

with

an

exhaust

air

outlet

on

the

rear

of

the

To

take

account

of

the

spatial

system,

the

following

connection

options

are

possible

for

the

Ductwork

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.

FourĆinch

(approx.

100

mm)

diameter

ducting

should

be

used.

Use

either

rigid

metal

or

flexible

metal

ducting

material.

DO

NOT

use

plastic

or

nonĆmetal

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

aluminum

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.
