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.

The appliance must be installed with the rear

surface placed against a wall.

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 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 indi-

cated on the rating 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.

(MAIUSCOLO)

! 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.

! 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 must be regularly che-

cked. If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by the manufacturer,

its service agent or similarly qualified

persons in order to avoid a hazard.

(see Assistance). New or longer elec-

tric cords are supplied by authorised

dealers at a supplementary cost.

! 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.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.

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 our 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.
