INSTALLATION
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
15 mm 15 mm
15 mm 15 mm
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.
The appliance must be installed with the rear
surface placed against a
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
Air intake vent
Do not block or obstruct
Caution: Hot!

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

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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The socket must be grounded. The power supply
cord should be checked periodically. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazar
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
Step 1
Open the door of your dryer
Step 2
Pull out the filter (using the
two finger grips)
Step 3
Clean the fluff off the filter
and replace it correctly.
Ensure that the filter is
pushed fully home.
Step 4
Make sure the filter is pushed fully home
NEVER run the dryer without the filter in position
Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying
cycle will affect the drying performance of your
machine. It will take longer to dry and as a result
will use more electricity during drying.
At least every two or three months you MUST
clean fluff build up around the filter housing and
the vent tube.
Open window venting
The end of the tube should be
directed downwards, to prevent
warm moist air from condensing in
the room or dryer.
Do not discharge exhaust air into
a flue which is used for exhaust
fumes from other appliances that
burn gas or other fuels.
