Where to put your Dryer

There is no internal packing to be removed before use, but do make sure the drum is quite empty. We advise that the drum is wiped out before its very first use to move any transit dust or other matter that may have entered the machine since it left our factory.

As air is intended to enter the base of the machine it should not be used on any carpeted surface where the pile height would prevent air flowing over the whole of the base, ie. there should be a gap between the floor covering and the base of the cabinet.

Bathrooms and Shower Rooms Regulations exist covering the use of electrical appliances in bathrooms and shower rooms.

It is important that no socket outlet is provided in those areas and Hotpoint recommends that its appliances are not positioned there.

If you have any questions about whether your proposed location complies with the Regulations you should, for your own safety, seek guidance from a qualified electrician. Your Tumble Dryer should not be located adjacent to a gas heater as flames from the burners could cause damage to your machine.

The Dryer dries your washing by drawing in air that is cool, clean and relatively dry, heating it to the required temperature, and blowing it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. The moisture laden air is then blown out through the front of the machine. The amount of moisture varies with the size of the load, the types of fabric and how wet they were when put in.

The Dryer should be placed where air can freely circulate around it, preferably near a window which can be opened to reduce the possibility of condensation occurring while the Dryer is in use.

WARNING:

ENSURE THAT THE EXHAUST AIR GRILLE (AT THE FRONT OF THE DRYER) AND VENT HOSE (OPTIONAL EXTRA MODEL TS13) ARE NOT BLOCKED OR OBSTRUCTED.
