Dryers
Electrical Connection
The heater on the electric model is larger than a standard European model, and the total power required to operate the dryer is more than a normal 13 amp socket can provide. It is therefore necessary to connect the power cable directly into a suitable electrical supply that is rated at 30 amps or above, i.e., a spare cooker box.
Venting
The dryer should be vented to avoid excessive buildup of condensation in the room. The venting outlet on the dryer is a standard 100 mm (4") and does not require any special adapters to connect it to the dryer. Use metal ducting or a flexible metal hose. A standard length metal hose is provided with most models; longer lengths or kits with an elbow are available from Whirlpool Service, telephone: 0870 600 8989, or from most DIY stores or builder merchants.
