5 Evacuation system
5.1 Fresh air
When the drying cabinet is running, about 50 m3of moist air is evacuated per hour. This air is taken from the room
where the drying cabinet is situated.
It is therefore important to ensure that fresh air can enter the room from the outside to replace the humid air that is
vented out.
The recommended fresh air intake should be 5 times larger than the recommended shared exhaust air duct.
5.2 Evacuation connection
The drying cabinet should be connected to a standard exhaust ventilation unit.
There are two possible ways to connect the drying cabinet to a ventilation duct – either with a draft stabilizer or with a
permanent connection to an exhaust air system. If the drying cabinet is being connected to an existing ventilation
system, a draft stabilizer must always be used so that the general ventilation in the room is not affected.
Permanent connection is only permitted if a drying cabinet comes with a separate exhaust air duct.

12 Installation manual
5.2.1 Draft stabilizer
The drying cabinet has been tested and set at factory for connection with a draft stabilizer. (Kit for this included upon
delivery.)
Place the spigot (A) over the hole in the top of the cabinet. Insert the screws and secure the spigot.

fig.W01510
Connect the flexible hose (B) to the spigot. Connect the other end of the hose to the draft stabilizer (C), and then
press the draft stabilizer securely into the exhaust air vent in the room.

5.2.2 Permanently installed and connected to the ventilation duct
When the drying cabinet is permanently connected to the ventilation duct, the whole room is ventilated through the
drying cabinet. (A kit for this is included with the drying cabinet, except for the insert).
Place the spigot (A) over the hole in the top of the cabinet. Insert the screws and secure the spigot.

Connect the flexible hose (B) to the spigot. Connect the other end of the hose to the insert (C) (the insert is not in-
cluded), and then press the insert securely into the exhaust air vent in the room.

14 Installation manual
If multiple drying cabinets or dryers are connected to the same air duct, a non-return valve must be installed on each
appliance to prevent cold air from entering or the air pressure of one appliance affecting the other.

The left and right upper hinges are not interchangeable. When rehanging, a new upper hinge must be or-
dered from the supplier.
Disconnect the power to the appliance.
Carefully lay the drying cabinet on its back.
Remove the cover on the upper part of the drying cabinet (A) and the protection plate (B) above the control cable
from the door’s membrane panel (C). Arrows in the figure indicate the location of the fastening screws for each part.
Disconnect the door cable from the control unit in the upper part of the cabinet using the fast coupling (D). Note how
the cables are connected!

Lift up the door a bit from the bottom edge and remove it from the upper hinged joint, far enough so that the hinge pin
is exposed. The pin has a groove for the control cable.
Pull the door cable (F) with its connecting contact out of the slot in the hinge. The door cable is bared so that it can
be pulled through the slot. Use this part when pulling the cable out.
The door (G) is now free and can be put aside.
