[. . . ] 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. 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-circulation 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 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. Avoid the hose making U shaped curves as this will restrict the flow of air and increase the chance that water will collect in the hose. Check the hose regularly to remove any build-up of fluff or water that may have collected in it. The following diagrams give examples of good and bad installations. Before using the tumble dryer for the first time: Please read this instruction book thoroughly. Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.

Garments may also become stiffened when dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators. This ranges from Bone Dry for bath towels and bathrobes, through Cupboard Dry for items that will be put away without ironing, to the programmes that leave the laundry suitable for ironing. Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. [. . . ]
