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.
Installation of the Discharge Hose
It is essential to use a venting hose to carry the
hot moist air away from the dryer unless the
dryer is situated in a open space with a good air
flow around it. Re-recirculation of the moist air
will prevent the efficient operation of the dryer.
The hose is assembled to the machine as shown
The hose may be fitted through a wall or
through an open door or window. The hose is
110mm in diameter and will extend 1.8 meters.
The following guidelines should be followed
when installing the discharge hose.
● Do not use two hoses joined together as the drying performance will be
reduced.
● Do not restrict the flow of air through the hose e.g. by kinking it or
