Stacking kit (optional accessory)
It should be possible to stack your new dryer on top of a
front loading washing machine with a cover’s depth
between 48 and 60 cm.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the stacking
kit.
Please contact your local John Lewis branch for further
advice.
Door reversal
To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door
can be reversed.
This operation must be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Please contact the telephone number given under Repairs
- After Sales Service, page 19.

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the
desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s overall length
is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two
bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a
fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant
should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings
and installation advice.
It is important not to connect the
vent hose to items designed to carry
exhaust from a fuel burning appliance,
eg. cooked hoods, chimney or flue
pipes.
Hints and Tips
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential
that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its
“exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units; preferably
outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is
important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an
exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust
capacity of at least 150 m3/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make
sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose
is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be
reduced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-
outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.
