For proper drying performance:
The location must provide:
• Protection from weather and
water: Do not store or use dryer
where it will be exposed to water and
weather.
• Room temperature above 7°C

7°C (45°F), automatic cycles may not

of 79.4 kg (175 pounds).
• Air supply: It is important to make
sure the room has an adequate air
supply for gas combustion and/or
drying operation. The operation of
this appliance may affect the
operation of other gas appliances
which take their air supply for safe
combustion from the same room. If in
doubt consult the appliance
manufacturers.
• Exhaust to outdoors: Dryer must be
exhausted outdoors to prevent
exposure to harmful substances in the
gas fuels; to prevent large amounts of
lint and moisture from accumulating
and to maintain drying efficiency.
