In conjunction with the vent hose we recommend the use of a Wall/Window Vent Kit. These are available from your retailer or nearest Spares Centre.

Fitting instructions are supplied with the kits, which can be mounted through a wall or window. Details of positioning for wall mounting are as follows:- Break a hole through the wall to the left of the proposed position for the dryer. Keep the hose as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture running back into the dryer. Similarly the duct inserted into the wall should slope downwards to the outside. For window venting with stacked dryer, the hole in the window should ideally be made below the outlet and the hose should be kept as short as possible.

Depending on the frequency of use, it is essential that the areas

BA and B in the illustrations are checked periodically and any fluff or debris removed.

It is particularly important that the vent hose adaptor is fitted securely thus preventing any moisture laden air from being emitted back into the room.

NOTE: The dryer should not be pushed so far back that the hose adaptor is pulled out of position or the hose squashed. The hose should be kept clear of the air intake grille and kinks or ‘U’ bends avoided as these will obstruct the hose or trap condensation.

WARNING:

1.ENSURE THAT THE DRYER IS ADEQUATELY VENTILATED AND THAT THE END OF THE VENT HOSE IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS THE AIR INTAKE DUCT.

2.THE DRYER MUST NOT RECYCLE EXHAUST AIR.

3.THE VENT HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.

4.MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT HOSE AND AIR INTAKE GRILLES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.

5.MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.

6.DO NOT DISCHARGE THE EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE WHICH IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM OTHER APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.

For open window venting it must be possible for the end of the hose to be directed downwards to prevent warm, moist air condensing in the room or in the dryer.
