Where to install the tumble dryer

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 en-

sures adequate air cir-

culation. Make sure the

air inlets on the rear panel are not blocked or

obstructed.

Ventilation

This appliance gently dries laundry by taking in cold, clean

and relatively dry air, heating it and passing it through the

fabric. To facilitate the drying process, damp air is expelled at

the rear, through a ventilation hose. When the dryer is in use,

there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid a back flow

of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels,

including open fires.

Mobile ventilation system

When using the tumble dryer with the mobile ventilation

system, a ventilation hose must be connected. The hose

should be securely fastened to the ventilation hole at the

rear of the appliance (see “Description of the tumble dryer”).

We recommend the hose is connected to an outlet near

the tumble dryer, if possible. If it cannot be installed in a

permanent spot, the tumble dryer will still function perfectly

well if the ventilation hose is passed through a partially-

opened window.

Make sure you do not point the ventilation hose towards the

air inlet, which is located on the rear of the appliance.

The ventilation hose should not exceed a maximum length

of 2.4 metres; it should also be shaken frequently to remove

any fluff, dust or water deposits inside it. Make sure you do

not crush the hose.

Fixed ventilation system

We recommend the ventilation hose is connected to a

ventilation system for windows or doors, available from the

retailer which originally sold you the appliance or from your

local spare parts stockist.

Wall ventilation hole

1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of the tumble dryer

installation site.

2. Make the hose as short and straight as possible, in order

to prevent any moisture from condensing and leaking back

into the appliance.

3. The hole in the wall must also be straight and pointing

downwards, so that the flow of air coming out is not

impeded.

Areas A and B should be checked frequently, to prevent the

accumulation of fluff or debris, particularly if the tumble dryer

is used very often. The hose adaptor must be fitted correctly,

in order to prevent damp air from coming back into the room.

Window ventilation hole

The ventilation hole should be directly behind the dryer in

order to keep the hose as short

as possible.

Make sure you do not push the

tumble dryer too far backwards,

as this could lead to the

ventilation hose being crushed,

bent or even disconnected.

There should be no cuts, kinks

or “U”-shaped bends in the

hose, as these could impede

ventilation or trap condensation.

The end of the hose must be facing downwards, in order to

prevent the hot, damp air from forming condensation in the

room or the tumble dryer.

Make sure that the tumble dryer is adequately ventilated,

and that the end of the ventilation hose is not pointing

towards the air inlet pipe on the

rear of the appliance.

The ventilation hose must

always be fitted to ensure

optimum performance.

Make sure that the ventilation

hose and the air inlet vents are

not obstructed or blocked.

Do not let the tumble dryer

recirculate exhaust air.

Improper use of the tumble

dryer may result in fire hazards.

Ventilation through an open window

The air emitted by the tumble

dryer must not be expelled in

the same duct as used for the

fumes produced by different

appliances which burn gas or

other fuels.

Do not discharge the exhaust

air into an extraction system

or any duct with an extractor

fan. This will affect the way the

thermal controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.

Make sure that the room in which the

tumble dryer is installed is not damp, and

that it is adequately ventilated.

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.

The appliance must be installed with the

rear surface placed against a wall.

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 rating 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 electric cord must be regularly

checked. If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by service agent.

(see

Service).

The manufacturer denies any

responsibility should any of these rules not be

followed.

If in doubt about any of the above

consult a quali ed 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, up or down

as necessary.

Before you start your dryer

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

before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during

transportation.
