Installation

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you
use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust
that could have accumulated during transport.

Where to put your dryer

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.

If you are going to install the
appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a
10mm space between the
top and any other objects
on or above the machine and
a 15mm 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 could 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 your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1m)
from the bottom of the dryer.

Remove hose from position shown
(see diagram).

Fit a suitable length of hose to the
new location shown (see diagram).

! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when
the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:

The socket must be grounded.

The socket must be able to sustain the machines
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 dryers plug.
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the
socket.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the
space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is
exposed to rain or storms.
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug
must be within easy reach.
! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer
and fitted only by authorised technicians (see Service).
New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra
charge by authorised 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.
