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)
