Where to put your dryer

●Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.

proper air circulation. Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

●Make sure you put your dryer in an environment that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.

!We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.

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

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.

The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always best to connect the tube to a permanent

outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the tube passing through a partly-opened window.

!Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.

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

Permanent venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of the dryers proposed position. 2. Keep the tube as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture from backing up into the dryer.

3. Similarly, the duct in the wall should slope downwards towards the outside.

Window mounting

1. With a stacked dryer the hole in the window should ideally be made below the vent.

2. The tube should be kept as short as possible.

Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is essential that areas A and B are checked periodically to remove lint or debris.

The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from being emitted back into the room.

!The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is squashed or bent.

!The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube or trap condensation.
