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. When the dryer is fitted under a work surface

 

allow space for air to enter the rear grille, 10mm above the dryer

 

minimum.

 

If you are using this Dryer adjacent or stacked on top of a washing

 

machine SEPARATE mains plugs and sockets must be used for each

 

appliance. DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.

Stack it on your

Both your Tumble Dryer and front loading washing machine are similar

Washing Machine

in design allowing the Tumble Dryer to be permanently stacked on top

 

saving you valuable floor space. A special stacking kit complete with

 

instructions is available from your retailer or nearest Spares Centre.

 

IMPORTANT: Only use genuine stacking kits. When ordering you

 

must state the model numbers of both your Washing Machine and

 

your Tumble Dryer. Unsuitable kits may result in a potential hazard

 

and will invalidate your warranty rights.

 

Unless the Dryer, when stacked, is directly in front of a window, we

 

strongly recommend the use of a Vent Hose Kit. (If this is not

 

supplied it can be obtained from your retailer or Spares Centre).

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your washing by drawing in air that is cool, clean and

 

relatively dry, heating it and then blowing it through the clothes as they

 

are gently tumbled. The moisture laden air is then blown out at the back

 

of the dryer through the vent hose which is recommended for optimum

 

performance.

 

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.

Mobile Venting

A vent hose must always be fitted when the dryer is used in

 

conjunction with Mobile Venting.

 

The hose must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see diagram

 

on previous page). If possible, it is always best to connect the hose to a

 

permanent outlet close to the dryer (see instructions below).

 

Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the air

 

intake grille at the rear of the dryer.

 

If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well

 

with the hose passed through a partly-opened window.

 

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.

Fitting the Vent
