Air evacuation
Waste air from the tumble dryer must be
taken to an evacuation duct or to an outlet in
the wall using the vent hose supplied.
Tip!
The tumble dryer must only be operated when
it is correctly fi tted with exhaust duct.
Connection to the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer has three options for venting
air: at the back, on the right side and on the
left side. One hole is open when the tumble
dryer is supplied. The other two have covers.
The tumble dryer comes with a connector (1),
a plastic band (2) and a vent hose (3).

Fit the air evacuation system as follows:
1. Slip the vent hose onto the connector and
secure it using the plastic band.
2. Remove the plastic cover if you want to
fi t the vent hose to one of the holes other
than the one already open.
3. Insert the connector with the vent hose
into the opening.
4. Place the cover over the open hole.
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.
Caution!
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 fl ow, resulting in poor
drying results. To avoid this happening, the
hose must not be fi tted so that it goes up (a),
but instead so that it is horizontal (b) or goes
down (c) from the drier.

Accessories
If the vent hose runs to an outlet in the wall,
you can prevent the infl ow of cold air by fi tting
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 fi tted.
Draught check
These accessories can be purchased from your
retailer.
Note!
Avoid:
• very long exhausting systems
• too many corners
• tight corners
These reduce effi ciency and increase time and
energy consumption.
