Where to install the tumble dryer

• Install the dryer far from gas

ranges, stoves, radiators or

hobs, as flames may damage it.

If the dryer is installed below a

worktop, ensure there are 10

mm between the upper panel of

the dryer and any objects

above it, and 15 mm between

the sides of the machine and

the walls or furniture units

adjacent to it. This ensures

adequate air circulation.

Ventilation

• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is

running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of

humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air

around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense

during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed

in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.



Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small

or cold room.



We do not recommend installing the dryer in a cupboard;

moreover, never install the machine behind a lockable, sliding

or hinged door located on the opposite side 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' (1 m)

from the bottom of the dryer.

Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A

and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown

in picture B.



Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked

when the dryer is in its final location.

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.

Preliminary information

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

operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.
