Where to put your dryer

• 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 must not be bent or squashed.

! 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.

Replacements are available from authorised dealers.

Changing the plug

The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with

the following.

! 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.
