INSTRUCTIONS
When mounting dryer on an outside wall, use
the following diagrams to determine position
of mounting bracket and vent hole.
CAUTION
If the installation is changed from upright to
inverted or vice versa the inside of the dryer
cabinet should be cleaned out of any lint build
up. When the dryer is in use, lint can build up
inside the dryer, on the bottom panels. When
the position of the dryer is changed this lint
can fall into the drum or onto the element and
result in a potentially hazardous situation.
We advise that this lint can fall into the drum
or onto the element and result in a potentially
hazardous situation. We advise that this lint
be cleaned away before the position is
changed. This operation requires the
removal of the rear panel. This should be
done by a competent serviceman.
VENTING
A number of venting options are available.
NOTE: The ED55/56 Dryer has been
designed for best performance when one of
the following venting methods is used. The
dryer
SHOULD NOT be used without either
the vent deflector vent kit or exhaust hose.
External Venting –
The dryer has been designed to be externally
vented to provide these following
advantages:
- Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing
recirculation of moist air.
The dryer operates by taking dry cool air,
hating and circulating it through the
clothes. If the intake air is already moist
then it will reduce the drying effect when it
is circulated through the clothes
- Eliminates condensation on walls and
ceilings.
A normal load of wet garments (3-5
kilograms) can easily have 100% moisture
content by weight (i.e. 3-5 kg). This
equivalent to 3-5 litres of water which will
be vented out of the dryer during the
drying process. This water, if vented into
the room, will condense onto the walls,
ceilings and sides of any other appliance
including the dryer.
- Reduces the chance of lint being sucked
into the dryer.
The exhaust from the dryer will cause
airflow in the Laundry area disturbing lint,
dust and fluff to be stirred around and
possibly into the dryer air intake. This lint
etc can then be distributed through the
clothes.
- Fine lint particles, which aggravate
respiratory allergies, are removed from the
room.
Very fine lint particles can pass through
the lint filter and out the exhaust system
