Energy-saving tips
■Spin the laundry before drying. The
drier the laundry, the shorter the
drying time will be, thus consuming
less energy.
■Load the dryer with the maximum
load.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programs, as this
prolongs the drying time and
increases energy consumption.
■Ventilate the room and keep the air
inlet on the dryer free to ensure air
exchange.
■Clean the fluff filter after each drying
cycle. If the fluff filter is dirty, the
drying time is prolonged and energy
consumption is increased.
■Energy-saving mode: If the dryer is
not operated for a prolonged period,
it automatically switches off before
the program starts and when the
program has ended to save energy.
The display panel and indicator
lamps go off after a few minutes and
the Start button flashes. To activate
the lighting, press any button, open
or close the dryer door or turn the

Installation for the exhaust air
duct
Caution!
Damage to the appliance
Inappropriate connecting of the exhaust
air duct to the dryer may cause
damages to the appliance. In order to
avoid it follow advises included in this
chapter.
Notes
■It is recommended to route the
exhaust air directly into the open air
through an exhaust air duct. A drain
check valve must be fitted then to
prevent air from flowing back.
■The air extraction system must not
exceed the specified pressure
losses.
■Clean the exhaust air duct regularly,
at least once a year.
When operating the dryer without an
exhaust air duct, the following must
also be observed:
■Ensure that the room is well
ventilated, otherwise energy
consumption and drying time will
increase. Bad ventilation of the room
may lead to the increase of moisture
which may cause damages, e.g. to
walls or furniture.
■Do not cover the exhaust air
opening. Leave approx. 1 m of free
space around the exhaust air
opening.
Connections on the dryer
Connections for an exhaust air duct are
located:
■on the back panel
The exhaust air opening on the back
panel is open when the dryer is
delivered (bayonet ring). The
exhaust air opening on the left side
panel is sealed with a cover.
■on the left side panel
You can switch the connection on the
back panel to the left side panel as
follows:
1. Remove the cover on the side panel.
2. Remove the bayonet ring from the
back panel and attach it to the
opening on the side panel.

en Installation and connection
16
3. Seal the opening in the back panel
with the cover.
Note: If there is a high level of
condensation in the exhaust air duct, it
is advisable to fix a condensation
collector (standard) or a drain hole with
a diameter of approximately 3 mm to
the lowest part of the exhaust air duct.
Exhaust air duct
All standard products can be used for
the exhaust air duct:
■flexible pipes
■galvanised metal ducts or pipes
■connectors, adapters and diverters
for flat duct systems and pipe
systems
■wall boxes for evaporation into the
open air or into a ventilation shaft
■adapters on rectangular ducts
■rectangular ducts or plastic pipes
■back pressure flap
Note: The material must be heat
resistant up to 80 °C and moisture
resistant.
Pressure losses
Note: The type and length of the
exhaust air duct, particularly elbows or
bends with small radii, can impede the
air flow. Keep diameter reductions and
pressure losses (resistance) to a
minimum.
The following must be avoided:
■long exhaust air ducts
■exhaust air ducts with small
diameters
■exhaust air ducts with many bends
and elbows.
Pressure losses through friction
Duct or pipe friction resistance, i.e.
friction on the inside of the exhaust air
duct, affects the air flow as follows:
■the smoother the internal wall
■the larger the diameter of the internal
wall
■the shorter the pipe
the lower the friction resistance.
Pressure losses due to fixtures
The exhaust air encounters further
resistance through fixtures built into the
pipe, e.g. diverters (bends, elbows,
angles), wall boxes with grids or
backpressure flaps.
Installation for pipe connection
■inside diameter = 100 mm
In order to ensure the minimum
required air flow, a certain pressure
loss (resistance) must not be
exceeded.
The permissible total pressure loss
in an exhaust air duct must not
exceed a certain value. This is
calculated as the sum of all
individual pressure loss values for
the straight pieces and fixtures in the
exhaust air duct.
Note: The value for the maximum
permissible total pressure loss for an
exhaust air duct is 50*.
■inside diameter > 100 mm
If the pipe connection has an inside
diameter > 100 mm and total
pressure loss greater than 50*,
increase the inside diameter of the
pipe connection.
* To determine the total pressure loss

■Route the exhaust air duct in such a
way that the dryer cannot draw the
moist, warm exhaust air back again.
■The outlet for the exhaust air must
be designed or positioned in such a
way as to prevent any additional
backpressure (e.g. from a direct
ingress of wind) in the escaping
exhaust air, e.g. by using 90°, facing
down ~Page 19
■The outlet for the exhaust air duct
must be no more than 2.5 m higher
than the exhaust air opening on the

– It is not permitted to connect the
exhaust air duct to chimneys
which are connected to gas or
coal-fired ovens/cookers or gas-
fired heating systems.
– If the appliance is being
connected to a moisture-
insulated ventilation shaft the
reponsible chimney sweep must
be informed and the approval of
the local building department
(building supervision office) or
the owner of the building must be
obtained.
Caution!
Risk of poisoning
If other appliances are operated in
the room where the appliance is
installed or in adjoining rooms, e.g.
gas-fired heating systems, gas-fired
boilers, coal-fired ovens connected
to a chimney, or open fireplaces, a
vacuum may be created, leading to
waste gases being sucked back.
Note: In every case, have safe
operation confirmed by the
responsible chimney sweep, boiler
engineer, ventilation specialist, etc.
Installing more than one dryer
Up to 7 exhaust air dryers can be
connected to an intercepting pipe with a
smooth internal wall.
Note: The following points must be
observed:
■It is imperative that there are drain
check valves in the interception pipe
for every dryer. These valves prevent
the moist exhaust air from flowing
back into the washing and drying
room through dryers which are not in
operation.
■The outlet for the exhaust air must
be arranged/routed in such way as
to prevent any additional
backpressure (e.g. from a direct
ingress of wind) on the escaping
exhaust air.
■In every case, have safe operation
confirmed by the responsible
ventilation engineer/installer.

When connecting to the interception
pipe, avoid the following:
■mutual interference between dryers
■discharge of moisture in the washing
and drying room
■higher pressure losses (increase in
energy consumption and time)
■The exhaust air ducts of the
individual dryers (DT = R >=
100 mm) should already be
extended to the dimension of the
interception pipe upstream of the
drain check valves.
■Possible backpressure (e.g. caused
by wind ingress) can be minimised
by using a 90° bend, facing down.
Optional accessories
■Washer-dryer stack connection set:
To save space, the dryer can be
placed on top of a suitable washing
machine of the same width and
depth.
The dryer must be secured to the
washing machine using this
connection set.

■Platform:
For easier loading and unloading,
use a platform to raise your dryer.
Transport laundry with the integrated
clothes basket integrated in the
platform's pull-out drawer.
Order number: WZ20500.
■Exhaust air duct:
The exhaust air duct is extracted via
a hose.
