Installation (Cont.)
Fixing condensation issues
If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense inside
the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
•
To prevent this water from lying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer,
it is advisable to drill a small hole (with a diameter of approximately 3 mm) at the
lowest point of the hose (Fig. 6, (C)).
•
Place a small container below the hole.
•
Empty this container regularly.
Connecting to an outlet point
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point. When
attached to this outlet, the vent hose should have no more than two bends. If there
is not an existing outlet, and you wish to install one, see a qualified builder for
professional advice.
NOTE:
•
To avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the
flexible hose to carry its hot air outside the room.
•
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam
exhaust is unobstructed.
•
Ventilation must be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from
appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
•
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.
•
Make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed,
drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher
energy consumption.
•
If the hose is completely squashed, the machine may stop. This is a safety feature
that has been applied to the tumble dryer.
•
In addition, for appliances with ventilation openings in the base, there should be
no objects obstructing these openings, including carpets, rugs, or other flooring.
