Ventilation
Exhaust air man-
agement
It is advisable to connect the product via a suitably rated plug and
socket in accordance with IEC-60309, otherwise for a hardwired con-
nection an all pole means of isolation must be installed at the site.
An isolation device is a switch which ensures a contact opening of
more than 3 mm. These include circuit breakers, fuses and contact-
ors (IEC/EN 60947).
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isola-
tion device (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against
being switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.
The tumble dryer must not be connected to devices such as timers
which would switch it off automatically.
If local regulations require that a residual current device (RCD) is in-
stalled, a type B residual current device (sensitive to universal cur-
rent) must be used.
If local and national installation specifications require equipotential
bonding, good galvanic contact must be guaranteed. Equipotential
bonding must have an earth current rating > 10 mA.
Supply air and exhaust air management
The air required for drying is taken from the room where the tumble
dryer is installed.
Ensure sufficient room ventilation, e.g. by means of ventilation
openings that cannot be closed in the exterior wall.
- It must not be possible to seal off ventilation openings.
- The room ventilation is only working properly if no low pressure oc-
curs. Avoid low pressure, e.g. by means of ventilation openings in
the exterior wall.
- For each tumble dryer, there must be a cross section of 237 cm
per ventilation opening.
The tumble dryer draws in air at the back. Therefore, there must be
a sufficiently large gap between the back of the machine and the
wall.
This would otherwise hinder a sufficient flow of air as well as the
operational performance of the tumble dryer.
Observe the necessary spacing between the machine and the wall.
Do not reduce the gap between the bottom of the tumble dryer and
the floor (e.g. plinth facings, deep pile carpet).
The tumble dryer must only be operated if the humid exhaust air
generated during drying is led outside through an installed vent
ducting.
