[. . . ] Never install the dryer against curtains and be sure to prevent items from falling or collecting behind the dryer. 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.

WHEN THE TUMBLE DRYER IS IN USE THE DRUM AND DOOR MAY BE VERY HOT. Energy saving Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spindried. 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 as this aids efficiency. NEVER put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance and waste time and efficiency. 5 40000126. qxd 19-07-03 15:57 Page 6 Filter Water container Filter IMPORTANT: To maintain the efficiency of the dryer check that the fluff filter is clean before each drying cycle. Water Container The water removed from the laundry during the drying cycle is collected in a container at the bottom of the dryer.
