Where to put and vent your dryer

Stack it on your Washing Machine

Ventilation

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.

Both your Tumble Dryer and front loading washing machine are similar 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).

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

Fitting the Vent Hose Kit

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.

See diagram on previous page.
