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
1 elbow 45°
1 elbow 90°
1 elbow 90° short
1 wall passage
4 m 5 m
-1.0 m -0.3 m
-1.8 m -0.6 m
-2.7 m
-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.
5 - EN
BThe ventilation hose should not be
connected to the chimney of a stove or
a 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:
• 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.
Connecting the water drain hose for
models with the water tank at the
bottom;
Connection pipe to water drain is at the
bottom rear of your machine.
1. Remove the bracket and the rubber
cap.
2. Attach the drain hose and replace the
bracket to its position.
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
6 - EN
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.
