Where to put and vent your dryer

Your tumble dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob, cooker, heater, or eye level grill as flames from the burners could cause damage to your machine.

The dryer should be placed where air can freely circulate around it, preferably near a window that can be opened to reduce the pos- sibility of condensation occuring while the dryer is in use.

When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

A vent hose is recommended for optimum performance.

DO NOT operate the dryer in an enclosed environment, ensure the dryer is adequately ventilated.

DO NOT allow clothes, towels etc., to hang down the front of the dryer into the airstream. This obstructs the airflow and may damage the dryer.

Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the air intake grille at the rear of the dryer.

NOTE: The vent hose should not exceed 2.4 metres in length, and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff lint (and water) by frequently shaking it out. Always ensure that the hose is not squashed.

Window Vent Kit A venting kit is available as an optional extra, which will take the moist air directly from the dryer and out through an open window.

The venting kit is fitted to the front of the door.

Wall Hanging Kit This allows the dryer to be mounted on a wall of suitable strength to take the weight. Alternatively it should be used when the dryer is mounted on top of a work surface to secure the dryer to the wall.

WARNING:

DO NOT DISCHARGE THE EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE WHICH

IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM OTHER

APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.
