Adequate ventilation must be provided in the
room where the tumble dryer is located to
prevent gases from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires, being drawn into the
room during operation of the tumble dryer.
● Exhaust air must not be discharged into a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
● Check regularly that the air flowing through
the dryer is not restricted.
● Check the fluff filter after use, and clean, if
necessary.
● The inlet and outlets should be kept free
from obstructions. To ensure adequate
ventilation the space between the bottom
of the machine and the floor must not be
obstructed. There should be a gap of at
least 12mm between the machine and any
obstructions.
● Prevent items from falling or collecting
behind the dryer as these may obstruct the
air inlet and outlet.
●
NNEEVVEERR
install the dryer up against curtains.
If the dryer is installed under a worktop or built-
in, it is essential to use the venting hose to carry
the hot moist air away from the dryer otherwise
re-circulation of the moist air will prevent the
dryer from working efficiently.
The hose is assembled and fitted to the machine
as shown.
The hose may be fitted through a wall or through
an open door or window (Fig. 1). The hose is
95mm (3.75 inches) in diameter and will extend
up to 1.8 metres (6 feet).
Venting hoses longer than 1.8 metres (6 feet) are
not recommended as the dryer performance will
be reduced.
