• reduction of the risk of moldformation behind the appliance.

• reduced noise transmission

• facilitation of installation andservice.

If the dryer is installed in a smallroom, the doors of the room mustbe fitted with vents of the specifiedminimum size. Refer to thefollowing illustrations of enclosedinstallations for additionalinformation.
