Installation
Open window venting
! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and
that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards
the air intake duct.
! The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum
performance.
! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents are
not obstructed or blocked.
! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.
! 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.

The socket must have an earth connection.
The socket must be able to sustain the
machines maximum power, which is
indicated on the rating label (see Dryer

The socket must be compatible with the
