1 INSTALLATION
The dryer is designed for installation using a flexible gas
connection with tubing in accordance with B.S. 669.
Ensure that the supply gas sizing is adequate.
When installing, position the appliance so that the plug is
accessible.
An electric supply cord with moulded-on 13 Amp. plug is
fitted at the back of the dryer. The length is 1.5 m. (5ft.).
If there are any other appliances that are relatively high
rated (eg a central heating boiler) fed from the same gas
supply branch. It is advisable to perform the verification of
inlet pressure with both appliances in operation.
Prior to installation, check that the local distribution
conditions, nature of gas and pressure and adjustment of
the dryer are compatible.
2 AIR SUPPLY
The tumble dryer shall be installed in a room or internal
space having an openable window, or equivalent. The
customer must be advised that this must be kept open
during use.
Purpose provided ventilation of 100cm 2 shall also be
provided where the room volume is less than 3.7m 3 /kw of
appliance rated heat input.
Additional guidance on the provision of air supply may be
obtained from BS5440 parts 1 and 2 and BS 7624:2004
If the dryer is to be installed in a room or internal space that
already contains one or more fuel burning appliances, the
ventilation requirements above, together with any
additional requirements of BS5440-2:2000, 5,5 shall be
applied.
3 POSITION
The dryer must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or
shower room.
Great care is required in the location of the dryer in
premises where concentrations of flammable vapours may
accumulate, e.g. commercial garages and associated
workshops.
The dryer can be placed against a wall, other appliances,
kitchen furniture and similar surfaces.
4 VENTING
The dryer must be fitted with an exhaust vent hose and the
end either hung out of a window or fitted to a wall/ window
vent connection.
Note; Do not obstruct or add a mesh to the vent hose
outlet during use and ensure that it cannot be blocked or
bent sharply which obstruct the air flow.
It is recommended that the interior of the hose be
periodically inspected and cleaned if necessary.
PERMANENT VENTING
Accessory wall/window vent kit CL005 is available:
See illustration for necessary hole through wall. Dim A =
200mm and Dim B = 100mm for direct alignment.
Note Dim B may be increased to 200mm to facilitate easier
drilling if required.
5 POSITION OF DRYER AND CONNECTIONS
The illustration shows the minimum space required by the
dryer and the position of the gas wall connector. It is not
acceptable to use a forward facing mounting plate
because of the space limitation. The sideways facing
assembly must be used and this should be fitted so that
the flexible hose hangs down from the bayonet connector.
A 13 Amp socket must be provided within a distance of 1.4
m (55 in.) of the cable entry into the dryer. The socket must
have an efficient earth connection.
If the dryer is to stand on a surface above the floor or on
top of a washing machine (using the Stacking Kit) then the
750 mm dimension is measured above the supporting
surface.
If the dryer is installed under a worktop there must be a
minimum gap of 15 mm between the top of the dryer and
the underside of the worktop to allow for ventilation.
If it is intended to move the dryer regularly for use then the
Restraining Kit must be fitted to prevent possible damage
to the gas connection.
We also recommend the fitting of a restraining kit to any
dryer which is stacked.
