Warning and Safety instructions
13
The tumble dryer may only be operated when the ducting has
been installed and the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid back flow gases
into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open
fires.
Please observe the instructions in “Installation of the ducting”.
The ducting must never be installed in any of the following flues or
shafts:
– Chimneys or exhaust smokestacks that are in use.
– Shafts that are used to ventilate installation rooms with fireplaces.
– Flues that are used by third parties.
If smoke or exhaust gas is pushed back into the flue or shaft, there is
a risk of poisoning. Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue
which is used for exhaust fumes from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
There is a risk of suffocation and poisoning from exhaust gas
recirculation if gas-powered flow heaters, gas-powered room
heaters, coal-burning stoves with a chimney connection, etc., are
installed in the same room or in the apartment or in adjacent rooms
and the negative pressure is 4 Pa or more.
You can prevent negative pressure in the installation room if you
ensure sufficient room ventilation by taking the following measures
(examples):
– 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.
In any case, you should seek confirmation from the appropriate
authority (or a gas fitter) that the appliance is operated safely and
that a negative pressure of 4 Pa or more is being prevented.
