NEW DRYING SYSTEM WITH TURBO DRY (EVO 3) CHARACTERISTICS The new turbo dry drying system installed on EVO3 consists of a condensation chamber which the motor fan is mounted on. This fan sucks steam from inside the wash compartment and dry air from the wall cavity / wash compartment where the chamber is located thereby facilitating the formation of condensation.
