When installing your tumble dryer, it's important to plan the location carefully. Typically, it should be situated under a kitchen counter or in a utility room. However, it's crucial not to position it near a fridge or freezer as the heat could cause damage. Additionally, ensure the room has proper ventilation and proximity to windows to encourage airflow. Avoid placing it in a cupboard or area where circulation is limited. Once it's in its new home, plug it in and conduct a few test runs using old towels to confirm everything is in working order. If you plan to stack it on top of your washing machine, be sure to use the appropriate stacking kit.
