external ventilation is not required.

Therefore, The dryer can be installed and used in any location where the temperature is between 5

and 35 degrees centigrade, unlike a conventional dryer that requires an external exhaust system.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

To operate safely and properly, your new Dryer requires minimum clearances of:

Sides – 25 mm Rear – 51 mm

Top – 25 mm Front – 465 mm

If both the washing machine and a dryer are installed together, the front of the alcove or closet must have at

least 465 mm unobstructed air opening.
