Core Features and Highlights

No space for a tumble dryer? Think again! This Compact Vented Tumble Dryer is the perfect solution for homes with limited space. The compact design makes it ideal for small kitchens, student accommodation, or mobile homes. You can place it on the floor, pop it on a countertop, or mount it on the wall to save even more space! With a vented design, hot air is directed outside through a hose, eliminating the need for a water tank and preventing steam from lingering in your home. It features three settings to suit every laundry need: cool to prevent creases, warm for small loads, or hot for bigger laundry days or bulkier items. Despite its compact size, it offers plenty of space, enough to dry around 12 t-shirts at once. The 200-minute timer allows you to dry clothes at a lower heat over a longer period, protecting delicate items. The built-in lint filter ensures smooth and efficient operation. Clean the filter after every use for optimal performance and safety. With Quiet Mark certification, this tumble dryer delivers ultimate performance without the usual noise, allowing you to relax. For added peace of mind, this Russell Hobbs appliance comes with a 1-year guarantee, ensuring support in the unlikely event of a malfunction.

Safety Warning:

• Oil-Contaminated Items: Do not dry items that have been soiled with cooking oil, vegetable oil, or hair care products. These substances can create a chemical reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion, even after the cycle ends.

• Flammable Solvents: Never dry items that have been cleaned with, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Foam and Rubber: Items containing foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, or rubber-backed articles must not be dried in this machine as they can melt and ignite.

• Lint Accumulation: The lint filter must be cleaned after every single use. A build-up of lint is a significant fire hazard and will cause the motor to overheat.

• Venting Requirements: As a vented dryer, this unit must have a clear path for hot, moist air to escape. Do not operate the dryer in a confined space without a vent hose leading to the outside or an open window.

• Air Intake: Ensure the air intake at the rear of the machine is never blocked by carpets, walls, or laundry.

• Wall Mounting: If wall-mounting this compact unit, ensure the wall is load-bearing and use only the official mounting kit. Failure to secure it properly could result in the unit falling during a high-speed tumble.

• The "Cool Down" Phase: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. The final part of the cycle occurs without heat (cool down) to ensure items are left at a safe temperature.

• Small Objects: Check all pockets for lighters and matches. These are extremely dangerous if left inside the drum during a heat cycle.

• Hot Surface: The rear of the unit and the vent hose become very hot during operation. Avoid contact with skin.

• Extension Leads: This dryer should be plugged directly into a wall socket. Do not use extension leads or multi-plug adapters, as the high current draw for heating can cause them to overheat and melt.

• Moisture: Do not install the dryer in a location where it may be exposed to water or weather, as this increases the risk of electric shock.
