Rules for installation and connection of the drying machine
Household appliances help automate a person's routine homework. Among the variety of technical innovations, drying machines are gaining popularity. Depending on the installation method, manufacturers offer various modifications. After selecting the model, you only need to correctly connect the dryer to the ventilation, sewage and electrical networks. Installing the dryer is a simple process, so you can do it yourself.

Types of installation
Among the types of machines in the market of household appliances are the following types:
- Condensation devices. They allow heated air flows in the laundry room. Moisture is collected in a tray, passing through a heat exchanger. The liquid collected in the tank is drained after each use.
- Exhaust devices. In these units, linen is dried, due to the exhaust air in a special ventilation channel.
- Dryers with heat pumps. The technique has the same principle of operation as in the condensing units. The main difference is that the liquid is drained to the sewage system or to a designated container.
In an apartment or a private house is better to install exhaust dryers, which are connected to the network and ventilation system. When there is no air exhaust, it is recommended to connect the condensing model. In this case, the liquid is deposited in a tray or sewer. A washer / dryer is the preferred option for small apartments.
Ways to accommodate tumble dryers
There are different ways to install dryers. In apartments, cottages, country houses choose the following placements:
- built-in appliances under the kitchen worktop;
- placed vertically on the washer;
- set in a closet or a special niche of drywall on the shelf;
- next to the washer, i.e. in a horizontal line.
In small apartments or in the country, the installation of a tumble dryer is usually done on a washing machine.
Installation of the drying machine
The most common method is to mount the dryer in a column. That the design was stable and not vibrated, pick up the technique of the same width. To perform the correct installation you will need fasteners with special caps - transitional framework.
The action algorithm is as follows:
- First, fasteners are installed on the case of the lower unit;
- then the drying machine with twisted legs is attached to the caps;
- With the help of the construction level, the leveling technique is performed.
Installation of the drying machine near the washing machine - easier, but provides for more free space. The advantages of this method of installation - resistance technology, less vibration noise. To install, you need to choose the right place, unscrew the legs in series and level the device.
Connect to various communications
After we decided on the installation method and made the installation, we connect the equipment, depending on the type of device, either to the sewage system or to the ventilation system.
For further work you will need tools:
- hose for the machine;
- building level;
- pliers, screwdriver;
- hose clamp.
For connections to the ventilation system The following steps are required.
- A flexible corrugated duct is fixed with a special clamp of a suitable diameter (it comes in the kit) to the ventilation hole.
- The other end of the corrugations output in the central ventilation system, while unnecessarily not bending.
To connect the dryer to the sewage system, you need to connect the drain hole with the sewage system with a drain hose.
Electrical connection as follows.
- From the junction box is recommended to withdraw a separate line for equipment.
- The socket is used with grounding. This measure will protect against possible electric shock.
- For the electrical network, an ouzo 16a and a circuit breaker are provided. They will protect the device from current leaks and possible overvoltage.
Note! Before you start connecting the tumble dryer, for the safety of the installation process, turn off the electricity.
Modern drying machine - a necessary attribute in every home.Installation of equipment is very similar to the installation of a washing machine. When performing simple steps, you can save on calling the wizard. Proper installation will extend the life of the tumble dryer.
