Installation and connection

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.

Installation conditions requiring a non-return valve

￿Certain installation conditions require the fitting of a non-return valve for external water connection (available as an optional accessory). A non-return valve will prevent the risk of back-flow out of the dryer which could 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 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 top:

Adapter 1 and hose clip 3 behind it.
