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 is assembled to the machine as shown. The hose may be fitted through a wall or through

an open door or window. The hose is 110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.

The following guidelines should be followed when installing the

● Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will

● Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or fitting

a smaller diameter connector to mount to a wall opening.

● 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.

The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations.
