WHERE TO PUT YOUR DRYER
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 any kitchen units or walls to ensure
proper air circulation.
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
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.
The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length.
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 and trap
condensation.
VENTING
Wall mounting
Keep the tube as short and as straight
as possible to prevent condensation
forming in the vent pipe.
The duct in the wall should slope
slightly downwards.
Window mounting
The hole in the window should be as
low down as possible and the tube
should be kept as short as possible.
Depending on how often you use your tumble dryer, it is
essential that areas
A
and
B
are checked periodically to remove
lint or debris.
Open window venting
The end of the tube should be
directed downwards, to prevent
warm moist air from condensing in
the room or dryer.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord should be
checked periodically and, if required, replaced by a cord specially
prepared for this dryer.
LEVELLING YOUR DRYER
The dryer must be installed level for
correct operation. When you have
installed your dryer in its final location
check that it is first level side to side
and then back to front.
If the dryer is not level use a wooden
block to support it while adjusting the
two front legs up or down until your
dryer is level.
BEFORE YOU START USING YOUR DRYER
Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it clean
the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have
accumulated during transport.

Installation
Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is used for
exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other
fuels.
Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction system or any
duct with an extractor fan. This will affect the way the thermal
controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.
