296 280 0100 white/296 280 0200 grey)
must be installed by the Authorised Service
Agent.
• Place the product on a firm floor. If it will be
placed on top of a washing machine, the
approximate weight of both machines may
reach 180 kg when they are full. Therefore,
the floor must be capable of carrying the
load on it!
Ventilation hose and connection
(for products equipped with an
outlet vent)
Ventilation hose allows exhaust air from inside
the machine
Vented dryer has 1 air outlet.
Stainless sheet metal or aluminum pipes can
be used instead of a hose. The pipe diameter
should be minimum 10 cm.
Maximum hose and pipe lengths are given in
the table below.
Hose Pipe
Maximum length 4 m 5 m
1 elbow 45° -1.0 m -0.3 m
1 elbow 90° -1.8 m -0.6 m
1 elbow 90° short -2.7 m
1 wall passage -2.0 m -2.0 m
CEach elbow and other passages should
be subtracted from the maximum length
stated above.
To connect a ventilation hose;
1. Connect the air outlet hose to the
hose spacer piece by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Make the hose passages as shown below.
CExhaust of humid air from the dryer into the
room is inconvenient. It may damage the
walls and furniture in the room.
CThe ventilation hose can be routed outdoors
via a window or it can be connected to the
air outlet in the bathroom.
CAir outlet hose must be routed directly to the
outdoors. There must be a limited number
of elbows as not to hinder ventilation.
CTo prevent water accumulation in the hose,
make sure that it is not folded on the floor.
BThe ventilation hose should not be
connected to the chimney of a stove or a
5 - EN
fireplace.
BDo not operate your product at the same
time with heaters such as a coal or gas
stove. Airflow may cause the chimney to
flare up.
Connection to water drain (Products
with a condenser);
In products equipped with condenser unit,
water accumulated during the drying cycle
accumulates in the water tank. You should drain
accumulated water after each drying cycle.
You can directly drain accumulated water
through the water drain hose supplied with
the product instead of periodically draining the
water collected in the water tank.
Connecting the water drain hose:
1. Pull the hose out by its end to remove it
from the product. Do not use any tools to
remove the hose. Attach the drain hose
adaptor to the end of this hose.
2. Connect the special drain hose supplied
with the product to the hose adaptor
fitting.
3. Connect the other end of the drain hose
directly to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin. The fitting must always be
secured in every type of connection. Your
house may flood if the hose comes out of
its housing during water discharge.
CWhen you direct the water drain to outside,
“Water Tank” warning light will turn on at
the end of each programme.
Important:
C There is no pump in the machine, so ensure
that the hose is placed to allow a easy
water flow.
C The end of the hose should never be higher
than the level of the water outlet on the
machine. Otherwise, the “tank full” light of
your machine will illuminate and stop the
programme.
C If the dryer is mounted on the washing
machine by means of a bracket, use of the
water drain hose is recommended. The
drain hose should be directed downwards
as shown in the figure.
Adjusting feet
In order to ensure that your product operates
more silently and vibration-free, it must stand
level and balanced on its feet. Front feet of your
product can be adjusted. Balance the machine
by adjusting the feet.
Important:
• The hose should be attached to a height of
maximum 80 cm.
• Make sure that the hose is not pinched or
bend.
• The end of the hose should not be bent,
it should not be stepped on and it must
not be folded between the drain and the
product.

models with the water tank at the
bottom;
Connection pipe to water drain is at the bottom
rear of your machine.
