Installation - venting The moist air from the dryer must be vented via a ducting system. When installing avoid : – very long venting sy stems – too many bends or corners – tight corners otherwise the drying result will be les s effective and it will take longer and use more energy.

Ex- pelled air is slowed down in the vent duct by friction against the inner walls of the duct. The shorter and smoother the inner walls, the less friction occurs. Addition al duct len gth An elbow or bend creates more friction than [...]
