Where to put and vent your dryer
In conjunction with the vent hose we recommend the use of a
Wall/Window Vent Kit. These are available from your retailer or
nearest Spares Centre.
Fitting instructions are supplied with the kits, which can be mounted
through a wall or window. Details of positioning for wall mounting
are as follows:- Break a hole through the wall to the left of the
proposed position for the dryer. Keep the hose as short and straight
as possible to prevent condensed moisture running back into the
dryer. Similarly the duct inserted into the wall should slope
downwards to the outside. For window venting with stacked dryer,
the hole in the window should ideally be made below the outlet and
the hose should be kept as short as possible.
Depending on the frequency of use, it is essential that the areas
A and B in the illustrations are checked periodically and any fluff
or debris removed.
It is particularly important that the vent hose adaptor is fitted
securely thus preventing any moisture laden air from being
emitted back into the room.
NOTE: The dryer should not be pushed so far back that the
hose adaptor is pulled out of position or the hose squashed.
The hose should be kept clear of the air intake grille and kinks
or ‘U’ bends avoided as these will obstruct the hose or trap
condensation.
For open window venting it must be possible for the end of the hose
to be directed downwards to prevent warm, moist air condensing
in the room or in the dryer.

3. THE VENT HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE FITTED FOR
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
4. MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT HOSE AND AIR INTAKE
GRILLES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED OR BLOCKED.
5. MISUSE OF A TUMBLE DRYER MAY CREATE A FIRE
