[. . . ] The hose may be fitted through a wall or through an open door or window (fig. 2). The hose is 95mm (3. 75 inches) in diameter and will extend up to 1. 8 metres (6 feet). Venting hoses longer than 1. 8 metres (6 feet) are not recommended as the dryer performance will be reduced. Ensure that the venting hose is not kinked as this will prevent the dryer from working efficiently. Where it is not practical to fit a venting hose, condensation can be reduced by operating the dryer close to an open window or an extractor fan. 05651180 22/6/01 11:46 am Page 5 Preparing the load Preparing the load Before using the dryer for the first time wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth.
