Installation
Do not block the vent at the front or base of the dryer as this will impair the
functioning of the appliance and could cause it to overheat. This appliance must
not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on
the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer.
Tumble dryer venting
Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways.
1)
Extendable rear venting
- a long flexible vent hose is built into the dryer
and can be extended from the large opening at the rear of the machine
2)
Fixed rear venting
- venting is through the large opening at the bottom of the rear panel. A separate extendable vent
hose can be attached if desired.
3)
Front venting
- this is a special type of dryer which vents through a grille on the plinth. The opening on the rear panel is
blanked off during manufacturing.
Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a confined space. Rear vented machines must have a vent hose
if they are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is preferable to vent through a vent to outside. This
may be through an open door or window. The best solution is to connect the vent hose to a permanent connection through
a wall or a single glazed window. This is particularly recommended for small, cool rooms. Front venting machines must be
converted to extendible rear venting before a permanent connection can be made to the outside.
When using a vent hose, remember the following points:
The vent hose must be at least 10cm (4 ins) in diameter.
No more than three right-angled bends should be allowed when positioning the
vent hose.
Do not distort or constrict the vent hose as this will reduce the airflow.
The vent hose must not be shared with other appliances, for example, a cooker
hood outlet.
Reversing The Door
The door on the dryer can be positioned either with the left or right hand hinging, as shown in figure fig.4.
Please note: power tools must not be used when reversing the door.
