Installation and
Ventilation requirements
1
SUPPLY CORD
AIR INLET
VENTS
HOT AIR
OUTLET
IMPORTANT: This dryer must be
installed such that the air inlets and
outlets are not restricted (fig. 1).
There should be a gap of at least 12 mm
(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 between the sides and
rear of the dryer as these may
obstruct the air inlet and outlets.
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
2
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 95 mm (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.
There are three air outlets – one at the rear
and one on each side of the dryer. The
venting hose must only be attached to one
of these outlets. The covers must be fitted
to the two unused outlets to maintain
maximum drying efficiency.

Preparing the load
Before using the dryer for the first time
wipe the inside of the drum and door with a
damp cloth.
Make sure that the laundry you are going to
dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer,
as shown by the care symbols on each item.
Clothes preparation
Check that all fastenings are closed and that
pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside
out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to
make sure that they don’t get tangled.
Warning: Do not overload the drum, large
items when wet can exceed the maximum
admissible clothes load (for example:
sleeping bags, duvets).
Maximum drying weight
● Cottons Max. 7 kg
● Synthetics Max. 3 kg
Sort the load as follows:
A) By care symbols
On the collar or inside seam:
Suitable for tumble drying.
Tumble drying at high temperature.
Tumble drying at low temperature only.
DO NOT tumble dry.
B) By amount and thickness
Whenever the load is bigger than the
dryer capacity, separate clothes
according to thickness (e.g. towels
from thin underwear).
C) By type of fabric
Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey,
bed and table linen.
Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls,
etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as
well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

Do not tumble dry:
Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon
stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics
with metallic decorations, garments with
PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes,
bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles
which have been treated with a dry
cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger
of fire or explosion).
Energy saving
Only put into the tumble dryer laundry
which has been thoroughly wrung or
spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter
the drying time thus saving electricity.
ALWAYS try to dry the maximum weight
of laundry, this will save time and
electricity.
NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this
will waste time and electricity.
ALWAYS check that the filter is clean
before every drying cycle.
NEVER put dripping wet items into the
tumble dryer, this may damage the
appliance.
ALWAYS ensure that the covers are fitted
to the two unused vent outlets, this will
maintain maximum drying performance.
