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.
●
NEVER
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.
Ensure that the venting hose is not kinked as this will prevent
the dryer from working efficiently.
