Exhaust ducting and
connections
A gap of
3

" (10 mm) must be
provided between the machine and
the floor. This gap is necessary for
proper air flow and must not be
blocked by a toekick or thick piled
carpets.
Sufficient venting of the installation
site is essential for proper dryer
operation. Inadequate ventilation will
increase energy use and drying
times.
