15.2 Vent hose
As to the outlet itself, if you
have decided on a install
wall/window grille, a good
local builder's merchant can
supply you with the
necessary fittings and
installation advice.
Make sure that the vent hose
length is less than 2 m, and
that it contains no more than
2 bends.
WARNING!
It is important not to
connect the vent hose to, for
example, a cooker hood, or
a chimney or flue pipe
designed to transmit the
exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
Note that to prevent condensation
problems, it is essential that the dryer be
installed with the flexible hose to
transmit its "exhaust" at least beyond
the kitchen units; preferable outside the
kitchen. In order to prevent the
appliance from overheating, it is
important that the steam exhaust is
unobstructed. Thus, if a permanent hose
installed to an external wall or ceiling, it
must be ensured an exhaust capacity of
minimum 150 m3/h. If the dryer is
installed adjacent to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed.
If the hose is not fully squashed, drying
efficiency will be decreased , resulting in
longer drying times and higher energy
consumption. If the hose is fully
squashed, the automatic cut-outs with
which the appliance is fitted can operate.
When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it
can affect the performance of the
appliance.
If the hose is long and the
room temperature low, the
moisture might condense to
water inside the hose. This is
an usual occurrence. To
prevent this water from the
hose, it is recommend to
drill a small hole (via. 3 mm)
in the lowest point of the
hose and to put a small
container below it. (See
picture, point B).
