Installation and connection Draining condensed water externally General When drying is in progress, the condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. You can also drain it off externally through the drain hose - you will no longer need to empty the condensed water container.
Hooking up the drain hose (in sink or floor drain) ^ See front view illustration. If you decide to hook the hose up to a sink, secure it against being detached, by clamping it, for example. Otherwise overflowing water can cause damage. ^ Use the bow-shaped holder to prevent the drain hose from becoming kinked.
