Installation and
Ventilation requirements
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
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.
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.
