The vent ducting must not be channeled into a chimney or flue already in use for any gas-,
coal-, or oil-burning installation. The warm and moist exhaust air is to be conducted out-
side or to a suitable venting duct over the shortest path possible. The vent ducting must
be laid so that air flow is not hindered. To achieve this, use as few bends as possible along
with short pipelines and well-made connections and transitions checked for air-tightness.
No filters or grilles may be fitted in the vent ducting.
The end of the vent ducting leading out into the open should be protected against the ele-
ments, e.g., with a downward-facing 90° bend.
During tumble dryer operation, the room must be adequately ventilated.
Room ventilation opening for air intake from the setup room
The minimum dimension of the ventilation opening depends on the cross-section of the
vent duct.
