Installation and Ventilation requirements

IMPORTANT: This dryer must be installed such that the air inlets and outlet are not restricted (fig. 1). There should be a gap of at least 12mm (0.5 inches) between the sides and rear of the machine and the surrounding walls and cabinets. To ensure adequate ventilation the space between the bottom of the machine and the floor must not be obstructed. NEVER install the dryer up against curtains. Prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer as these may obstruct the air inlet and outlet. A venting hose is supplied with this tumble dryer. The use of the venting hose to exhaust hot air to the external atmosphere is strongly recommended to ensure maximum drying efficiency. Protect the external outlet from prevailing winds to ensure back-draughts do not reduce the drying performance.

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 may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window (fig.2). 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.

Where it is not practical to fit a venting hose, condensation can be reduced by operating the dryer close to an open window or an extractor fan.

Preparing the load Before using the dryer for the first time wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth.

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item.

Clothes preparation Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they dont get tangled. Do not overload the drum, particularly when drying large items, otherwise, the laundry may stick to the drum and not dry evenly.

Maximum drying weight Cottons Max. 6 kg Synthetics Max. 3 kg

Sort the load as follows: A) By care symbols On the collar or inside seam:

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only.

DO NOT tumble dry.

B) By amount and thickness Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

Energy saving Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.

ALWAYS try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity.

NEVER exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.

ALWAYS check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.

NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.
