External condensed water outlet

General notes

When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained off directly if the tumble dryer is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied.

Drain hose length . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.50 m Maximum delivery head . . . . . . . 1.50 m Maximum drain hose length . . . . 4.00 m

￿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. (See "Installation conditions requiring a non-return valve").

The following optional accessories are available:

–an extension hose

–a non-return valve kit for connection to an external condensed water outlet (includes an extension hose). Maximum delivery head with non-return valve fitted: 1.00 m

Arranging the drain hose

￿There will be a small amount of residual water in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this.

￿Pull the hose off its connection (see arrow).

￿Allow any residual water to run into the container.

￿Unwind the hose and pull it carefully out of the holders.

￿Do not pull on the drain hose and do not stretch it or allow it to become kinked as it could get damaged.

￿Position the hose to the right or left hand side as necessary.

Leave the hose in the middle holder to prevent it from becoming kinked inadvertently.
