Manual

Where to put your dryer

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

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.

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 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 drain. 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.

Fig. A Fig. B

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.

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 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).

Do not use extension leads. Do not pull the

power supply cable. Do not use multiple

plug adaptors if the appliance is fitted with

a plug. For appliances with fitted plug, if the

plug is not suitable for you socket outlet,

contact a qualified technician.

The dryer must not be installed outdoors,

even if the space is sheltered.

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 checked. If

the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the service agent (see

Why is de drum of my dryer larger than that of my washing machine, even though they have the same capacity? Verified

To properly dry laundry, a dryer needs to have air. This needs space and that's why the drum needs to be larger.

What is the difference between a condenser dryer and a vented dryer? Verified

In a condenser dryer the condensed water vapour is drained and collected in an internal reservoir. In a vented dryer the hot, moist air is drained through a hose, for example out of a window. A vented dryer is cheaper to use than a condenser dryer

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

Can I connect a dryer to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dryer, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dryer is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.
