Installation

– Scope of delivery: dryer, installation and operating instructions, woollens basket (depending on
model).
– Check dryer for transport damage.
– The dryer is very heavy. Do not attempt to lift it on your own.
– Be careful to avoid sharp edges.
– Do not set up in a room that is susceptible to frost. Freezing water may cause damage.
– If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a specialist.
– Do not lift the dryer by protruding parts (e.g. the door) - risk of breakage.
Setting up the dryer
1.
– The appliance plug must always be accessible.
– Ensure that the appliance is installed on a clean, level
and firm surface.
– Do not obstruct the air inlet on the front of the dryer.
– Keep the area around the dryer clean.
– Make the dryer level using the threaded feet
and a spirit level.
– Do not remove the threaded feet under any
circumstances.
Do not set up the dryer behind a door or sliding door,
as this may obstruct the dryer door or prevent it from
opening. This will prevent a potentially fatal danger to
children from locking themselves in.
Mains connection
see Safety instructions
2.
– Connect to an AC earthed socket. If in doubt have the
socket checked by a specialist.

specified on the rating plate.
