Connection to the evacuation duct
The vent hose must take the shortest and
straightest route possible from the tumble dryer
to the exhaust air duct. Trim or cut the vent hose
if it is too long. If necessary, the vent hose can
be extended to a maximum of 8 metres (inner
diameter 102 mm). If a longer hose is needed,
a larger inner diameter is required in order to
maintain the tumble dryer’s fan capacity. Any
bends must be as gradual as possible.
If 90° bends are necessary then there must be
no more than four. More bends will reduce the
tumble dryer’s fan capacity.

WARNING!
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed through
ducts used for equipment that burns gas or other
fuels.
Installation in a hot environment
If you install the tumble dryer in a small room
with high humidity, and where the temperature
may exceed 25°C, there is a risk of condensation
accumulating in a kink and obstructing the air
ow, resulting in poor drying results. To prevent
this from happening, the hose must not be tted
so that it goes up (a), but rather so that it is routed
horizontally (b) or downwards (c) from the tumble
dryer.

Accessories
If the vent hose runs to an outlet in the wall,
you can prevent the inow of cold air by tting a
ventilation grill. This grill can be installed either
outside or inside.
If there is only one evacuation duct from the room,
a “draught check” must be tted.
