Where to put your
Dryer
There is no internal packing to be
removed before use, but do make sure the
drum is quite empty. We advise that the
drum is wiped out before its very first use
to move any transit dust or other matter
that may have entered the machine since it
left our factory.
As air is intended to enter the base of the
machine it should not be used on any
carpeted surface where the pile height
would prevent air flowing over the whole
of the base, ie. there should be a gap
between the floor covering and the base of
the cabinet.
Bathrooms and Shower Rooms
Regulations exist covering the use of
electrical appliances in bathrooms and
shower rooms.
It is important that no socket outlet is
provided in those areas and Hotpoint
recommends that its appliances are not
positioned there.
If you have any questions about whether
your proposed location complies with the
Regulations you should, for your own safety,
seek guidance from a qualified electrician.
Your Tumble Dryer should not be located
adjacent to a gas heater as flames from the
burners could cause damage to your
machine.
The Dryer dries your washing by drawing in
air that is cool, clean and relatively dry,
heating it to the required temperature, and
blowing it through the clothes as they are
gently tumbled. The moisture laden air is
then blown out through the front of the
machine. The amount of moisture varies
with the size of the load, the types of fabric
and how wet they were when put in.
The Dryer should be placed where air can
freely circulate around it, preferably near
a window which can be opened to reduce
the possibility of condensation occurring
while the Dryer is in use.
WARNING:
ENSURE THAT THE EXHAUST AIR GRILLE
(AT THE FRONT OF THE DRYER) AND
VENT HOSE (OPTIONAL EXTRA MODEL
TS13) ARE NOT BLOCKED OR
OBSTRUCTED.
