! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer
to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move,
and, should you sell this appliance or pass it on to
another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied
along with the dryer so that the new owner may be
informed about warnings and suggestions on how the
dryer works.
! Read these instructions carefully; the following
pages contain important information on installation
and suggestions on how the appliance works.
Where to put your dryer
• Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.
• If you are going to install the appliance under a
work counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm space
between the top and any other objects on or above
the machine and a 15 mm space between the
sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to
ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that the
back vents are not obstructed.
• Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
that is not damp and has proper air circulation
throughout.
Ventilation
This Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it
through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For
optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out
through a vent tube behind the dryer. When the dryer
is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid
a back flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires.
Mobile venting
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is
used in conjunction with Mobile venting. The tube
must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer
(see
Dryer Description). If possible, it is always best to
connect the tube to a permanent vent close to the
dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the
dryer will work just as well with the tube passing
through a partly-opened window.
! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward
the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.
! The vent tube should not exceed 2,4 m in length, and
should be kept free of any possible accumulation of
fluff, lint, and water by shaking it out frequently. Always
ensure that the tube is not squashed.
Permanent venting
In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer:
Wall mounting
1. Leave an opening in
the wall to the left of
dryer’s intended position.
2. Keep the tube as
short and straight as
possible to prevent
condensed moisture
from backing up into
the dryer.
3. Similarly, the duct in the
wall should slope
downwards towards the
outside.
Window mounting
1. With a stacked dryer
the hole in the
window should ideally
be made below the
vent.
2. The tube should be
kept as short as
possible.
Depending upon how often you use your dryer, it is
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically
to remove lint or debris. The vent tube adaptor must
be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from
being emitted back into the room.
! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is
squashed or bent.
! 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.
