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. When the dryer is fitted under a
work surface allow space for air to enter the rear grille, 10mm above
the dryer minimum.
DO NOT use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.
Ventilation
The Dryer dries your washing by drawing in air that is cool, clean
and relatively dry, heating it and then blowing it through the clothes
as they are gently tumbled. The moisture laden air is then blown out
at the back of the dr yer through the vent hose which is
recommended for optimum performance.
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.
Mobile Venting
A vent hose must always be fitted when the dryer is used in
conjunction with Mobile Venting.
The hose must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see
diagram on previous page). If possible, it is always best to connect
the hose to a permanent outlet close to the dryer (see instructions
below).
Ensure that the end of the hose is not directed towards the air
intake grille at the rear of the dryer.
If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as
well with the hose passed through a partly-opened window.
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.
Fitting the Vent

Permanent
In conjunction with the vent hose we recommend the use of a
Venting
Wall/Window Vent Kit. These are available from your retailer or
nearest Spares Centre.
Wall/Window
Fitting instructions are supplied with the kits, which can be mounted
Venting
through a wall or window. Details of positioning for wall mounting
are as follows:- Break a hole through the wall to the left of the
proposed position for the dryer. Keep the hose as short and straight
as possible to prevent condensed moisture running back into the
dryer. Similarly the duct inser ted into the wall should slope
downwards to the outside. For window venting with stacked dryer,
the hole in the window should ideally be made below the outlet and
the hose should be kept as short as possible.
A
Depending on the frequency of use, it is essential that the areas
B
A and B in the illustrations are checked periodically and any fluff
or debris removed.
It is particularly important that the vent hose adaptor is fitted
securely thus preventing any moisture laden air from being
emitted back into the room.
NOTE: The dryer should not be pushed so far back that the
hose adaptor is pulled out of position or the hose squashed.
Storm cover
The hose should be kept clear of the air intake grille and kinks
or 'U' bends avoided as these will obstruct the hose or trap
condensation.
WARNING:
1. ENSURE THAT THE DRYER IS ADEQUATELY
VENTILATED AND THAT THE END OF THE VENT HOSE
IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS THE AIR INTAKE DUCT.
2. THE DRYER MUST NOT RECYCLE EXHAUST AIR.
3. THE VENT HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED FOR
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
4. MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT HOSE AND AIR INTAKE
GRILLES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.
5. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE
HAZARD.
6. DO NOT DISCHARGE THE EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE
WHICH IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING FUMES FROM
OTHER APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.
For open window venting it must be possible for the end of the hose
to be directed downwards to prevent warm, moist air condensing in
the room or in the dryer.
