Connection to evacuation duct
The vent hose must use the shortest and
straightest route possible from the tumble
dryer to the evacuation duct. Trim or cut the
vent hose if it is too long. If necessary, the
vent hose can be extended to a maximum
of 8 metres (inner diameter 102 mm). If a
longer hose is needed, a larger inner diam-
eter is required in order to maintain the
tumble dryer’s fan capacity.
Any bends must be as gradual as possible.
If 90º bends are necessary, there must be
no more than four. Multiple bends reduce
the tumble dryer’s fan capacity.
Caution!
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed
through ducts used for equipment that
burns gas or other fuels.

Installation in a hot environment
When installing in small rooms with high at-
mospheric humidity where there is a risk of
the temperature exceeding 25 °C, there is a
risk of condensation water accumulating in
a kink and obstructing the air flow, resulting
in poor drying.
In such situations the hose must be fitted
horizontally (b) or downwards (c) from the
tumble dryer.
