Installation notes
15
- A condensate drain must be placed at the lowest point of the exhaust ducting. The con-
densate must be drained via a water collection tray or a floor drain positioned in an ap-
propriate location. No filters or grilles may be fitted in the pipeline. The exhaust air or ex-
haust gas ducting must be installed leak-tight.
Compliance with the latest guidelines for approving exhaust gas systems containing low-
temperature exhaust gases must be assured.
Exceptions
1. Where it is not possible for evacuation to take place through a single duct, appropri-
ate measures must be taken to ensure that the exhaust gas/air mixture from the ma-
chine is not able to enter the room in which the machine is located via the exhaust
duct for other machines (e.g., through the use of baffles and merged lines that do not
hinder the flow). When selecting and installing equipment that will not hinder the flow,
it is important to ensure that high pressure cannot arise at the side that is not being
operated. Machines fitted with fans must not be connected to the same vent flue as
those without fans.
2. When evacuating the exhaust gas/air mixture through the exterior wall, no dangers or
unreasonable nuisance may arise.
3. With a combined line, the exhaust air ducts for the individual machines must be in-
stalled horizontally in the combined line in a way that does not hinder the flow. The
cross-section of the vent flue must not be smaller than the cross-section of the com-
bined line. Combined lines must be kept as short as possible and must rise vertically
up to the vent flue. A condensate drain is required at the lowest point.
All exceptional cases, and particularly those where a combined line is being installed, re-
quire special permission from the relevant building regulations inspector supervisor’s of-
fice.

2. What needs to be observed during commissioning
Check that the points listed in section 1 (“What needs to be observed before commission-
ing”) have been taken into consideration. The following should be carried out in the given
order when commissioning or converting the appliance:
1. Ask the gas supply company what the gas type, gas group, and connection pressure
are, and compare this information with the data specified on the tumble dryer (see the
sticker at the rear).
2. Check the factory-set jet pressure based on the tables "Settings with natural
gas"/"Settings with liquid propane" and correct it if necessary.
3. If the gas type, gas group, or connection pressure is different, it must be converted as
instructed in the section entitled “Connection and conversion instructions” and the
sticker at the rear of the tumble dryer must be replaced accordingly.
