if necessary.

The venting hose or duct should be
checked periodically and any
accumulation of fluff removed.

The inlet and outlets should be kept free
from obstructions.

If the dryer is used frequently the period
between checks should be reduced

Installation and
V entilation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be
installed such that the air inlets and
outlet are not restricted (fig. 1).

There should be a gap of at least 12mm
(0.5 inches) between the sides and rear of
the machine and the surrounding walls and
cabinets.

To ensure adequate ventilation the space
between the bottom of the machine and the
floor must not be obstructed.

NEVER install the dryer up against
curtains.

Prevent items from falling or collecting
behind the dryer as these may obstruct the
air inlet and outlet.

A venting hose is supplied with this
tumble dryer.

The use of the venting hose to exhaust hot
air to the external atmosphere is strongly
recommended to ensure maximum drying
efficiency. Protect the external outlet from
prevailing winds to ensure back-draughts
do not reduce the drying performance.

If the dryer is installed under a worktop or
built-in, it is essential to use the venting
hose to carry the hot moist air away from
the dryer otherwise re-circulation of the
moist air will prevent the dryer from
working efficiently.

The hose may be fitted through a wall or
through an open door or window (fig.2).
The hose is 95mm (3.75 inches) in
diameter and will extend up to 1.8 metres
(6 feet).

Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres
(6 feet) are not recommended as the dryer
performance will be reduced.

Ensure that the venting hose is not
kinked as this will prevent the dryer
from working efficiently.

Where it is not practical to fit a venting
hose, condensation can be reduced by
operating the dryer close to an open
window or an extractor fan.
