Warning and Safety instructions
Smoke or exhaust gas that is fed back into the flue or shaft may be
toxic.
Reverse suction of exhaust gases may result in a risk of suffoca-
tion and poisoning if gas-powered flow heaters, gas-powered room
heaters, coal ovens connected to the flue, etc., are installed in the
same room, in the same dwelling or in neighbouring rooms and the
pressure is 4 Pa or less.
The following measures for suitable room ventilation (examples) can
help to prevent negative pressure in the installation area:
– Installing vents that cannot be closed in the exterior walls.
– Window switch: The tumble dryer can only be switched on when
a window is open.
Please always seek approval from the appropriate authority (GasSafe
engineer, chimney sweep etc.) to confirm that the appliance can be
operated without risk and that negative pressure of over 4 Pa can be
prevented.
Regularly check all components in the ducting (e.g. wall pipe, ex-
ternal grille, bends, elbows, etc.) to make sure air can move through
them and to ensure that they are working properly. Clean compon-
ents when necessary. Fluff deposits in the ducting system will pre-
vent the air from being extracted properly and, as a result, will stop
the tumble dryer from working properly.
If existing ducting is due to be used, it must be checked before be-
ing connected to the tumble dryer.
If multiple tumble dryers are to be installed on one exhaust air
duct, a non-return flap must be installed directly on the duct for each
tumble dryer.
If this requirement is not observed, the tumble dryers may be dam-
aged and their electrical safety could be affected.
The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.
