3.3 Connecting to the drain

In products equipped with condenser unit, water accumulates in the water tank during the drying cycle. You should drain accumulated water after each drying cycle.

You can directly drain accumulated water through the water drain hose supplied with the product instead of periodically draining the water collected in the water tank.

Installation

Connecting the water drain hose

1-2 Pull hose at the behind of the dryer by hand in order to disconnect it from where it is connected. Do not use any tools to remove the hose.
3 Connect one end of the drain hose supplied with the dryer to the connection point from where you removed the hose of the product in previous step.
4 Connect the other end of the drain hose directly to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

Hose connection should be made in a safe manner. Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge.

Water drain hose should be attached to a height of maximum 80 cm.

Make sure that the water drain hose is not stepped on and it is not folded between the drain and the machine.

3.4 Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the dryer operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Turn the feet to left or right until the dryer stands level and firmly.
