The following measures for suitable room ventilation (examples) can
help to prevent negative pressure in the installation area:
– Installing vents that cannot be closed in the exterior walls.
– Window switch: The tumble dryer can only be switched on when
a window is open.
Please always seek approval from the appropriate authority (GasSafe
engineer, chimney sweep etc.) to confirm that the appliance can be
operated without risk and that negative pressure of over 4 Pa can be
prevented.
Regularly check all components in the ducting (e.g. wall pipe, ex-
ternal grille, bends, elbows, etc.) to make sure air can move through
them and to ensure that they are working properly. Clean compon-
ents when necessary. Fluff deposits in the ducting system will pre-
vent the air from being extracted properly and, as a result, will stop
the tumble dryer from working properly.
If existing ducting is due to be used, it must be checked before be-
ing connected to the tumble dryer.
If multiple tumble dryers are to be installed on one exhaust air
duct, a non-return flap must be installed directly on the duct for each
tumble dryer.
If this requirement is not observed, the tumble dryers may be dam-
aged and their electrical safety could be affected.
The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.
Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a
damaged fluff filter. This could lead to malfunctions. Fluff can clog
the air channels, heating elements and ducting, which could result in
a fire.
Stop the tumble dryer immediately and replace the damaged fluff fil-
ter.
