Where to put and vent your dryer
Your tumble dryer should NOT be located adjacent to a gas hob,
cooker, heater, or eye level grill as flames from the burners could
cause damage to your machine.
The dryer should be placed where air can freely circulate around
it, preferably near a window that can be opened to reduce the
possibility of condensation occuring while the dryer is in use.
When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation to
avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires.
A vent hose is recommended for optimum performance.
DO NOT operate the dryer in an enclosed environment,
ensure the dryer is adequately ventilated.
If the dryer is enclosed or fitted under a work surface, a gap
of at least 50mm (2") must be allowed above the top across
the full width of the dryer and at least 25mm (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.
We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard
but 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.
DO NOT allow clothes, towels etc., to hang down the front of
the dryer into the airstream. This obstructs the airflow and
may damage the dryer.
Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the
air intake grille at the rear of the dryer.
NOTE: The vent hose should not exceed 2.4 metres in length,
and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff
lint (and water) by frequently shaking it out. Always ensure
that the hose is not squashed.
