Connecting the air exhaust hose to a
ventilation duct
The air exhaust hose should be routed in shortest
and straightest possible way to the ventilation
system opening (air evacuation duct). Use a clamp
to attach the air exhaust hose to the ventilation
opening. If the air exhaust hose is too long, cut it to
length. The distance between the dryer and the air
evacuation opening (ventilation opening, window)
may not exceed 3 metres. Otherwise, moisture could
accumulate in the air exhaust hose. All elbows
should be at an angle that is equal to or smaller than
90°.
Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through
channels used for appliances or devices that use
natural gas or other fuels for their operation.
Selecting the room
Place the appliance in a thoroughly ventilated room
with a window or ventilation fan. If possible, connect
the air exhaust hose so that it has no inclination,
upwards (A) or downwards (C), but rather straight
(B).

Extra equipment
If the air exhaust hose is connected to an opening
in the wall, infl ux of cool air may be prevented by
installing a ventilation grille.
If there is only one ventilation opening in the room,
an air lock should be installed.
Air lock
This extra equipment can be purchased from your
seller.
Please avoid:
• excessively long ventilation systems,
• multiple elbows or turns of the air exhaust hose,
• sharp elbows or turns of the air exhaust hose,
All three may reduce the ventilation system
effi ciency, extend the drying time, and increase
power consumption.
Risk of Fire.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer
must be connected to an exhaust to the outdoors.
Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and
remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor
exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
