Installation
Do not block the vent at the front or
base of the dryer as this will impair the
functioning of the appliance and could
cause it to overheat. This appliance
must not be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with
hinges on the opposite side to that of
the tumble dryer.
Tumble Dryer Venting
Your tumble dryer will release warm, damp air in one of three ways.
1) Extendable rear venting - a long flexible vent hose is built into the
dryer and can be extended from the large opening at the rear of the
machine.
2) Fixed rear venting - venting is through the large opening at the
bottom of the rear panel. A separate extendable vent hose can be
attached if desired.
3) Front venting - this is a special type of dryer which vents through a
grille on the plinth. The opening on the rear panel is blanked off
during manufacturing.
Rear vented dryers can be used without a vent hose but not in a
confined space. Rear vented machines must have a vent hose if they
are installed under a work surface. To minimise condensation it is
preferable to vent through a vent to outside. This may be through
