If the hose is long and the room tempera-
ture low, the moisture might condense to
water inside the hose. This is an unavoida-
ble natural phenomenon. To prevent this
water from Iying in the hose or flowing back
into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a
small hole (via. 3 mm) in the lowest point of
the hose and to place a small container be-
low it. (See picture, point B).

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent
hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring
that the run’s overall length is less than 2
m, and that it contains no more than two
bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have de-
cided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good
local builder’s merchant should be able to
supply you with the necessary fittings and
installation advice.
Warning!
It is important not to connect
the vent hose to, for example, a cooker
hood, or a chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust from a
fuel burning appliance.
Note that to avoid condensation problems,
it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the
flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least
beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside
the kitchen. In order to prevent the appli-
ance from overheating, it is important that
the steam exhaust is unobstructed. There-
