WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER

Open window venting

The end of the tube should be directed downwards, to prevent warm moist air from condensing in the room or dryer.

10 mm

 

15 mm

15 mm

If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter be sure to leave a 10mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15mm space between the sides and any kitchen units or walls to ensure proper air circulation.

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.

!Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.

Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will affect the way the thermal controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.

VENTILATION

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.

The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.

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 and trap condensation.

Do not block or obstruct

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord should be checked periodically and, if required, replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer.

LEVELLING YOUR DRYER

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation. When you have installed your dryer in its final location check that it is first level side to side and then back to front.

If the dryer is not level use a wooden block to support it while adjusting the two front legs up or down until your dryer is level.

Caution: Hot!

Vent Tube fitted here

Keep the tube as short and as straight as possible to prevent condensation forming in the vent pipe.

The duct in the wall should slope slightly downwards.

BEFORE YOU START USING YOUR DRYER

Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transport.

The hole in the window should be as low down as possible and the tube should be kept as short as possible.

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