Maintenance

Installation

Permanent venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in 
the wall to the left of the
dryers proposed position. 
2. Keep the tube as short
and straight as possible
to prevent condensed 
moisture from backing up
into the dryer.  
3. Similarly, the duct in
the wall should slope 
downwards towards the
outside.

Window mounting

1. With a stacked dryer 
the hole in the window 
should ideally be made 
below the vent.
2. The tube should be 
kept as short as possible.

Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically
to remove lint or debris.
The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus 
preventing any humid air from being emitted back into
the room.

!

The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the

tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is
squashed or bent. 

!

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 or trap condensation.

Where to put your dryer 

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, 
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can 
damage the appliance.

If you are going to install the 
appliance under a work 
counter, be sure to leave a 
10mm space between the 
top and any other objects on
or above the machine and a 
15mm space between the 
sides and lateral furnishings 
or walls. This is to ensure 

proper air circulation. Make sure that the back 
vents are not obstructed.

Make sure you put your dryer in an environment 
that is not damp and has proper air circulation 
throughout, the dryer will not operate efficiently in 
an enclosed space or cupboard. 

!

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.

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it
through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For
optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out
through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is
used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.
The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the
dryer (

see Dryer Description

). If possible, it is always

best to connect the tube to a permanent 
outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is
not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the
tube passing through a partly-opened window.

!

Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed

toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.

!

The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in

length and should be kept free of any possible 
accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out
frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not
squashed.
