Leave the hose in the middle holder
(see previous illustration) to prevent it
from becoming kinked inadvertently.
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, one
must be fitted to prevent the risk of
back-flow (a non-return valve kit is
available as an optional accessory).
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.
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.
^ Remove the following from the back
of the dryer at the top:
Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
