to which he has access that the plug remains removed.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost
of any damage.
•Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust particles. The
air where the dryer is installed should be thoroughly ventilated to
prevent reverse flow of gases released from the gas appliances
with open fire (e.g. fireplaces).
•Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used for
appliances or devices that use natural gas or other fuels for their
operation (only applies to the evacuation dryer).
•Clean the door net filter after each drying cycle.
•Do not dry unwashed laundry in the dryer.

Draining the condensate
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate
tank. Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "Cleaning and maintenance").
To simplified and avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank,
run the condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain (see
chapter "Settings/ Condensed water").
1
Remove the small short hose from the
attachment (A).
2
Connect the supplied drain hose to the
same attachment (A).
Run the condensate drain hose into a
drain. Tie the hose onto a tap (B) so
that it cannot slip during use.
The drain hose can also be fed into the
washbasin siphon (C) or directly into
the floor drain (D).
Then, the water is pumped directly into
a washbasin, a siphon, or a floor drain.
INFORMATION!
Do not pull the drain hose, and
make sure it is not under tension,
clamped, or bent.
19
Installation and connection

WARNING!
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the
hose is securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage that could result in unexpected
damage.
WARNING!
Always use hoses that are supplied with the appliance.
WARNING!
If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return
valve must be installed. Return flow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return
valve prevents such flow.
