Exhaust air connection

Safety Information
- It is recommended that exhaust air
is conducted directly into the open
air through an exhaust air duct.
- A nonĆreturn valve must be fitted
in order to ensure that exhaust air
is conducted directly into the open
air (so that air is prevented from
flowing back)
- The exhaust air system should only
be installed as described in these
instructions.
- The stated pressure losses must
not be exceeded.
- Use only parts and materials
mentioned in the instructions.
- The exhaust air duct should be
cleaned regularly, at least once
a year.
- Shift the exhaust air such, so that
the dryer cannot draw the damp
air which is blown out, back in
again.
- Design and/or shift the exhaust
air duct such, so that there is no
possibility of additional counterĆ
pressure (e.g. through direct
incidental wind) arising for the
exhaust air which flows out.
When the dryer is operated without
an exhaust air duct, pay attention to
the following:
-
Make sure there is good room
ventilation → risk of damage
caused by moisture. e.g. to walls,
furniture.
- Do not obstruct the exhaust air
vent (free space around exhaust
air vent of approx. 1 m).
- Remove any lint accumulation
around the dryer.
The Kleenmaid dryers are intended to
be vented outdoors. To prevent
buildĆup of moisture and accumulation
of lint indoors, as well as to maintain
maxiĆ mum drying efficiency, it is
recomĆ mended that the dryer is vented
outdoors.
Be sure to observe the following
if connecting via a wall box in
a chimney or ventilation shaft:
-
You should not connect the
exhaust air outlet to chimneys
where gasĆfired or coalĆfired ovens
and/or cookers or gasĆfired
heating is connected,
- When connecting to a dampĆproof
ventilation shaft, inform the apĆ
propriate chimney sweep and/or
obtain permission from the local
planning office/owner
- If additional appliances are operated
in the room where the dryer is set
up or in neighbouring rooms, such
as gas heaters, gasĆfired instant
water heaters, coalĆfired ovens with
a chimney connection or open
fireplaces, a subĆpressure can arise
which leads to the effect of gases
being drawn back →
risk of intoxication.
- In every event, confirm with the
appropriate chimney sweep that
the installation is safe to operate!
Dryer connection
options
Rear panel connection
The dryer provides exhaust outlets to
the rightĆhand side and to the rear.
The dryer is delivered with the exhaust
air outlet on the rear of the appliance
open.
The exhaust outlet on the rightĆhand
side of the dryer is closed and covered.
Connection on right side
The dryer exhaust can be switched
between the side and rear exhaust
ports.
Follow these steps to change between
the exhaust ports.
1. The dryer is shipped with the side
exhaust port closed and covered.
2. Remove the cover from the side
panel.
3. Remove the bayonet ring from the
rear panel and attach it to the side
panel port.
4. Close off the rear panel with the
cover.
