TUMBLE DRYER
Installation
WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER
The dyer should be placed where air can freely circulate
around it preferably near a window that can be opened to
reduce the possibility of condensation occurring while the
dryer is in use.
If the dryer is enclosed or tted under a work
surface a gap of at least 50 mm (2”) must be
allowed above the top for the full width of the
dryer and at least 25 mm (1”) either side. This
allows air to enter into the rear air inlet. The
dryer must never be run in a cupboard with a
closed door.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord
should be checked periodically and, if required, replaced by
a cord specially prepared for this dryer.
FLUFF FILTER
You must clean
the u lter after
EVERY drying
cycle.
To remove the lter
Step 1 - Open the
door of your dryer,
remove the ler.
The dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that
of the dryer door.
This symbol reminds you to read this booklet.
VENTILATION
When the dryer is in use there has to be adequate
ventilation to avoid the back ow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels, including open res.
The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks
or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube
and trap condensation.

from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
• The appliance must be installed correctly and
have proper ventilation. The air intake at the front
of the dryer should never be obstructed (see
Installation).
• Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air
intake at the back of the machine
• Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
• Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile
height would prevent air from entering the dryer
from the base.
• Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading
it.

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE
IN YOUR TUMBLE DRYER, THE
FOLLOWING SHOULD BE OBSERVED
• Tumble dry items only if they have been
washed with detergent and water, rinsed and
been through the spin cycle. It is a re hazard
to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with
water.
• Do not dry garments that have been treated
with chemical products.
• Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted
or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this
constitutes a re hazard. Oil-aected items can
ignite spontaneously,especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The
items become warm, causing an oxidisation
reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, items can become
hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-eected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a re hazard.If it is
unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable
or cooking oil or those that have been
contaminated with hair care products be placed
in a tumble dryer they should rst be washed
with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase
should be used to reduce the temperature of
the items. They should not be removed from
the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.
• Do not tumble dry items that have previously
been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in
or soiled with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents or other ammable or explosive
substances. Highly ammable substances
commonly used in domestic environments
including cooking oil, acetone, denatured
alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,
