Installation

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, an air gap or the non-return valve supplied with the machine must be fitted to prevent the risk of back-flow. 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 or washing machine.

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 bottom:

Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
