External drainage via a sink or gully
^
See "Front view" illustration.
,
If you want to drain the water off
into a sink you will need to secure
the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to
a tap to make sure it cannot slip
during use. Otherwise there is a risk
of overflowing water which could
cause damage.
^
Use the bow-shaped guide to
prevent the drain hose from
becoming kinked (see "Front view"
illustration).
Installation conditions requiring a
non-return valve
,
If the on-site water drainage
system is not fitted with a non-return
valve or an appropriate air gap, an
air gap or the non-return valve
supplied with the machine must be
fitted to prevent the risk of
back-flow. Otherwise water could
leak out of the dryer and cause
damage.
A non-return valve is required:
– If the tumble dryer is connected to a
sink drain outlet (see the following
section).
– If the tumble dryer is to be
connected to a drainage system
already in use
by another
appliance, e.g. a dishwasher or
washing machine.
Example: Connection to a sink drain
outlet
The drain hose with non-return valve
fitted can be connected directly to a
suitable sink drain outlet.
