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 2.5 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
venthose 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 m
3
/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, 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 safety
cutouts with which the machine is fitted may
operate.
