Abstract: A clothes-dryer includes accessories such as a hair-dryer, hand-dryer and space heater, as well as a ventilation device for venting the room in which the dryer is disposed of undesirable air. The dryer includes an intake channel and a discharge channel which together with the basket of the dryer form a drying circuit along which a forced hot air supply flows to dry laundry contained in the basket during the normal operation of the dryer. A selection control device is provided to establish various modes of operation of the dryer in which the accessories are operated with the air supply which is normally produced when the dryer is used to dry clothes contained in the basket.
