Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:

• Make sure your hands are dry.

• The socket must have an earth connection.

• The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s

maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see

Description of the tumble dryer).

• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated

on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).

• 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 tumble dryer should be installed level in order to

operate correctly.

After installing the tumble

dryer in its permanent

position, make sure it is

level; check its side-to-side

levelling first, followed by

front-to-back.

If the tumble dryer is not

perfectly level, use a wooden

block to support it while you

adjust the two front feet,

making them taller or shorter

as necessary.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the

drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated

during transportation.
