EN 5 VENTILATION Installation of the Discharge Hose It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the hot moist air away from the dryer unless the dryer is situated in a open space with a good air flowaround it. Recirculation of the moist air will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window. The following guidelines should be followed when installing the discharge hose. — Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be reduced. — Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose. — Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that may have collected in it. 80cm) PREPARING THE LOAD Before using the tumble dryer for the first time: ● Please read this instruction book thoroughly. — Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.
