room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it
may affect the performance of the
appliance.
Fitting the vent hose
A special stacking kit is available
throughTo simplify the installation, there
is a choice of vent outlets: one at the
back, the others in the left and right-
hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the
more convenient by pulling the ring nut
(A) from the vent outlet at the back,
screwing it on to the hose and pushing it
firmly back into place. The unused vents
should now be sealed with the special
snap covers provided.
Advice: If the hose is long and the room
temperature low, the moisture might
condense to water inside the hose. This
is an unavoidable 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
(dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the
hose and to place a small container
below 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 decided 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.
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 appliance from
overheating, it is important that the
steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose
fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must
be ensured an exhaust capacity of at
least 150 m3/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units,
make sure that the vent hose is not
squashed. If the hose is partially
