DRAIN HOSE : FITTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TANK IN DOOR DRAWER
To avoid emptying the water container after each drying cycle, the water can be discharged directly to a waste water drain pipe (the same drainage system as household sinks). Water Bye-Laws prohibit connection to a surface water drain. The waste water drain pipe should be located adjacent to the tumble dryer.
The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.
WARNING! Switch off and remove the tumble dryer plug from the electricity supply before carrying out any work.
Fit the Hose as Follows:
1.Tilt the machine backwards.
2. The waste water pipe is situated at the right-hand side of the machine (see the picture). A grey hose connects to the bridge at the left hand side of the machine. Using pliers, remove the pipe retaining clip from the bridge.
3. Pull the hose off the bridge connection.
4. Attach the black hose from the kit, (using the connector and pipeclips supplied), to the hose removed from the bridge connection.
5 . Place the tap supplied by the kit to close the remaing hose. Connect the new drain hose to the waste black water pipe .
6. Once the machine is in place, check the bottom to ensure that the new hose does not kink when pushing the tumble dryer into position. Connect to the mains electricity supply.
Caution: If the product is in different side, wait at least 4 hours before switching on so that the oil can flow back into the compressor. Failure to do this could result in damage to the compressor.
