Installation

Where to put your dryer

GB
• Place your dryer at a distance
from gas ranges, stoves, heaters,
or cooktops because flames can
damage the appliance. The dryer
should be installed in an ambient
room temperature of between 20 to
23°C for optimum performance. But
will function if the room is between
14 and 30°C. If you are going to
install the appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm
space between the top and any other
objects on or above the machine and a 15 mm space between the sides
and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.

Ventilation

• When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation. Make
sure you put your dryer in an environment that is not damp and has
proper air circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is essential
to condense the water produced during the washing, the dryer will not
operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.
!
If using the dryer in a small or cold room some condensation
will be experienced.
!
We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the dryer door.

Water Drain

If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to drain the
condensed water directly without using the waterbottle. In which case
it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at the end of each
cycle. If the Dryer is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine
the same drainage can be used. Just remove unlink the tube indicated
in figure A and connect it to the drainage. If the drainage is further away
than the length of the tube it is possible to buy and connect a tube
of the same diameter and the necessary length in order to reach the
drainage. To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as
indicated in figure B inserting it in the same place.
! The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer.
! Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that the drain
tube is not bent or kinked.

Electrical connection

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the
electrical socket:
• Ensure your Hands are dry.
• The socket must be grounded.
• The socket must be able to sustain the machine's maximum power,
which is indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
• Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the
rating label (see Dryer Description).
• The socket must be compatible with the dryer's plug.
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.
!
Do not use extension cords.
!
The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.
!
Once installed, the dryer' s electrical wire and plug must be within reach.

The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug and with
a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a replacement
fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type.
WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover.
If a replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the same
colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug.

If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the
cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where
it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.
!
The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced
by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by
authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power
cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers.
!
The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of these
rules not be followed.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified
electrician.

Levelling the tumble dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.
When you have installed your dryer in its final location check
that it is level first side-to-side, then front to back. If the dryer is
not level, adjust the two legs up or down until your dryer is level.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you've installed your dryer and before you use it, clean
the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have
accumulated during transportation.
Warning ! Before you use your dryer ensure that its has
been in a upright position for at least 6 hours.
