Moulded plug

!

The plug must not be used

without the fuse cover in place.
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 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.

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.
!

Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

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.

Door Reversal Instructions

The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily
be changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets
and blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch
with their opposite blanking plates (

see diagram

above

).

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. Simply remove the top hose
from its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb the
hose provided to the drain.

Electrical connections

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

Ensure your hands are dry.

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.

!

Do not use extension cords.

!

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.
!

The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

!

The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug and a

13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only
those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362.
