Rotate the feet to adjust until the machine stands level and firmly.

CNever unscrew the adjustable feet from their housings.

Ventilation hose and connection (for products equipped with an outlet vent)

Ventilation hose assures exhausting of the air from inside the machine.

There are 3 air outlets on the rear, left and right sides of a vented dryer. The sides are covered by a replaceable plastic cover.

Stainless sheet metal or aluminum pipes can be used instead of the hose. The diameter of the pipe to be used should be minimum 10 cm.

Maximum hose and pipe lengths are given in the table below.

	Hose	Pipe
Maximum length	8 m	10 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 above

maximum length.

To connect a ventilation hose;

1.Fit the hose adaptor (90° or flat adaptor) by pressing it on the air outlet at the rear of your machine. Close

the remaining 2 air outlets with plastic covers.

2.Connect the air outlet hose to the hose spacer piece (90° or flat adaptor) by turning it anti-clockwise.

3.Make the hose passages as shown below.

6 - EN

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 extended directly to the outdoors. There must be a small number of elbows as not to hinder air ventilation.

CTo prevent water accumulation in the hose, make sure that it is not folded on the floor.

BThe air ventilation hose should not be connected to the chimney of a stove or a fireplace.

BDo not operate your machine at the same time with heaters such as a coal or gas stove. Airflow may cause the chimney to flare up. Airflow may cause the chimney to flame up.

Connection to a water drain (for products equipped with a condenser and heat pump)

In products equipped with a condenser unit the water accumulated during the drying cycle is collected in the water tank.

You should drain the accumulated water after each washing cycle.

You can directly send the accumulated

water out through the water drain hose supplied with the machine instead of periodically draining the water collected in the water tank.

Connecting the water drain hose;

1.Remove the hose on the machine by pulling it out from its end. Do not use any tools to take out the hose.

2.Connect the special drain hose supplied with the machine to the pipe fitting.

3.The other end of the drain hose can be directly connected to the

wastewater drain or to the washbasin. The fitting must always be secured in all types of connections. Your house may be flooded if the hose gets out of its housing during water discharge.

CWhen you direct the water drain out,

“Water Tank” warning LED will light up at the end of each program.

Important:
