Bosch WTA 3500 - Installation Steps and Final Checks; Unpack and Position Dryer; Exhaust Duct Connection (WTA 3500)

INSTALLATION
Step 1
Unpack the Dryer
Carefully remove the packing material from the
outside of the dryer.
Step 2
Inspect the Dryer
Thoroughly inspect the dryer, prior to installation, for
possible freight or cosmetic=damage. Report any
damage immediately. Cosmetic damage must be
reported within 5 days of installation.
Be sure to install the exhaust according to all
governing codes and ordinances. Rigid metal duct is
recommended for venting this dryer. If flexible metal
duct is used, be sure it is fully supported when the
dryer is in its final position. Excess ducting should be
trimmed off to avoid sagging or kinking of the
ductwork.
Step 3
Position Dryer near Installation Area
Move the dryer so that it is within four feet of the
desired position.
Note: Corrugated packing materia, may be used to
protect the floor. Do not use corrugated
material with staples.

of the WTA 3500, electric vented dryer. If connecting
to the left or right hand side of the dryer, remove the
sealing cover from the side to be used, as shown in
