2. VENTILATION
Installation of the exhaust hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to
carry the hot moist air away from the
dryer unless the dryer is situated in an
open space with a good air flow around it.
Recirculation of the moist air will prevent
the efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as
shown.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or
through an open door or window. The
hose is 110 mm in diameter and will
extend 1,8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed
when installing the exhaust hose.
Do not use two hoses joined together as
the drying performance will be reduced.
Do not restrict the flow of air through the
hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting a smaller
diameter connector to mount to a wall
opening.
Avoid the hose making U shaped curves
as this will restrict the flow of air and
increase the chance that water will collect
in the hose.
Check the hose regularly to remove any
build-up of fluff or water that may have
collected in it.
The following diagrams give examples of
good and bad installations.
WARNING
The installation must prevent air flowing
back into the machine through the
exhaust hose.
The
machine
electrically, and its safety compromised,
if air is allowed to enter back into the
tumble dryer through the exhaust hose.
If installation conditions so require, the
use of valves or other devices capable
of preventing air flowing back into the
machine is recommended.
Always check with a qualified installer if
in doubt.
