Connection to the evacuation duct
The vent hose must take the shortest and
straightest route possible from the tumble dryer
to the evacuation duct. Trim or cut the vent hose
if it is too long. If necessary, the vent hose can be
extended to a maximum of 8 metres (inner
diameter 102 mm). If a longer hose is needed, a
larger inner diameter is required in order to
maintain the tumble dryer’s fan capacity. Any
bends must be as gradual as possible. If 90º
bends are necessary, there must be no more than
four. More bends will reduce the tumble dryer’s
fan capacity.

WARNING!
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed through
ducts used for equipment that burns gas or other
fuels.
Installation in a hot environment
If you install the tumble dryer in a small room with
a high atmospheric humidity, where the
temperature may exceed 25°C, there is a risk of
condensation accumulating in a kink and
obstructing the air flow, resulting in poor drying
results. To avoid this happening, the hose must
not be fitted so that it goes up (a), but instead so
that it is horizontal (b) or goes down (c) from the
dryer.

Accessories
If the vent hose runs to an outlet in the wall, you
can prevent the inflow of cold air by fitting a
ventilation grill. This grill can be installed either
outside or inside.
If there is only one evacuation duct from the room,
a “draught check” must be fitted.
