DRAINING THE CONDENSATE
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank.
Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE").
To simpli
fi
ed and avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank, run the
condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.

Connect the supplied drain hose to the same
attachment (A).
Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. Tie the
hose onto a tap (B) so that it cannot slip during use.
The drain hose can also be fed into the washbasin
siphon (C) or directly into the
fl
oor drain (D).
Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a
siphon, or a
fl
oor drain.
Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not
under tension, clamped, or bent.
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the hose is
securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage that could result in unexpected damage.
Always use hoses that are supplied with the appliance.
If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve
must be installed. Return
fl
ow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return valve prevents
such
fl
ow.
