it by means of the foreseen lugs.
Venting outside
•
Without kinking it, lead the vent hose outside (inside diameter 10
cm, maximum length with two bends 3 m).
•
Ensure that the vent hose does not sag when stacking the dryer on
a washing machine. It should only be placed horizontally or
upwards.
•
Do not connect to ventilation systems protected by fly nets. These
can become clogged and cause malfunctioning of the dryer.
•
Do not connect the air vent hose to a chimney or to a mechanical
ventilation extractor duct.

Do not connect the vent hose to the heating system. Only connect
the hose to ventilation systems insulated against humidity.

into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open
fires.
