7.3.2 Condensation water fill 1. Solenoid valve 2. Tube from Solenoid valve to Coupling 3. Coupling 4. Tube from Coupling to condenser 5. Siphon on Tube from detergent dispenser to tub The condensation water is delivered by a section of the cold water solenoid valve, whose delivery is 0.4 litres per minute. The solenoid valve is connected by a hose to a coupling; the water is ducted from this coupling to the upper section of the condenser. A small hole inside the coupling allows a tiny quantity of water to flow to the bottom of the detergent dispenser.
This ensures that there is always water inside the siphon on the hose between the detergent dispenser and the tub, thus preventing steam from being expelled from the tub and the detergent dispenser during drying. 7.4 Duct 1. Duct 2. Screw 3. Bellows seal 4. Wire clamp The front duct directs the hot air coming from the heating elements directly to the interior of the drum, passing through the bellows seal. The duct consists of two channels in aluminium alloy, joined together by screws and sealed with silicone. The duct, too, is insulated by two basalt rock wool half-shells encased in a sheet of aluminium and secured in position by two straps.
The duct is secured to the front cabinet shell by a screw; the seal between the duct and the bellows seal is provided by a steel wire clamp. SOI/DT 2002-05 eb 59 599 35 23-17
