Before Using The Dryer - Whirlpool AZB 7570 Instructions For Use Manual

BEFORE USING THE DRYER

• This dryer is exclusively designed to dry machine
dryable laundry in quantities which are usual for
private households.
• Observe the instructions given in these Instructions For
Use and the Programme Chart before using the dryer.
• Keep the Instructions For Use and the Programme
Chart handy for reference. If you pass on the dryer to
others, make sure that the Instructions For Use and
the Programme Chart go with it.
• The manufacturer declines all liability for damage to
property or injury to persons or animals due to non-
compliance with the directions given in these
Instructions For Use.
1. Removing the packaging and inspection
• After unpacking, make sure that the dryer is
undamaged. If in doubt, do not use it. Contact the
After-Sales Service or your local retailer.
• If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few hours
before operating.
• Do not operate the dryer if it has been damaged
during transport. Contact one of our After-Sales
Service technicians.
2. Electrical Connections
• Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions and current standard
safety regulations.
• Electrical connections must comply with local
Electricity Board regulations.
• Data regarding voltage, power consumption and the
required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate
mounted at the rear of the dryer.
• The dryer must be earthed as prescribed by law.
• Before carrying out any maintenance on the dryer
disconnect it from the mains supply.
• Mains cable replacement must only be carried out by
the After-Sales Service.
• After installation, access to the mains plug or to an all-
pole disconnection switch must be ensured at all times.
• Light bulb replacement must only be carried out by
the After-Sales Service.
3. Installation
• Do not install your dryer where it may be exposed to
extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation,
temperature below 5°C or above 35°C.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the
opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a
way as to prevent the tumble dryer door from being
fully opened.
• Small indoor located storage rooms, bathrooms,
toilets, shower rooms and enclosed areas without
ventilation are not suitable locations for installation of
the dryer. If it must be installed in such a location,
adequate ventilation must be ensured (open doors,
ventilation grid or slot larger than 500 cm²).
• Before running the first cycle, ensure that the water
container is fully pushed inside and that the heat
exchanger is correctly positioned.
• Before running the first cycle, ensure that all of the
drainage system hoses are connected (as shown in
the picture below).
• If possible use a hose to drain the water directly into
the domestic plumbing system. This will avoid having
to empty the water container at the end of each
drying cycle, since the condensation water can be
directly drained away. Also see section entitled
"Drainage System".
• Take care not to install the dryer on a deep-pile carpet.
• Take care not to trap the mains cable between the
dryer and the wall.
• When installing the dryer make sure that the four feet
are stable and resting on the floor, adjusting them as
required, and check that the machine is perfectly
level using a spirit level.
• If, due to lack of space, the dryer must be installed
directly next to a gas or coal stove, a heat insulating
plate (85 x 57cm) must be installed in between and
the side of the plate facing the stove must be covered
with aluminium foil.
