DO NOT
block the air inlets at the front, base, rear and side of your dryer.
DO NOT
allow fluff to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Risk of fire
DO NOT
exceed the recommended maximum load.
DO NOT
dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer
DO NOT
place articles in the dryer if anything other than a water solution has been used in the cleaning
process.
DO NOT
attempt to dry dripping wet articles.
DO NOT
use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in any way. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause serious injury. Consult your local appointed service engineer and insist on genuine spare parts.
INSTALLATION
Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vent at
the front or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. 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 extendible 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. A kit for this purpose is available as an
accessory. 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.
