Installation
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.
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 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.
Electrical connections
Make sure of the following before you
insert the plug into the the electrical socket:
●
Make sure your hands are dry.
●
The socket must have an earth connection.
●
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.
!
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.
!
Do not use extension cords.
!
The power cord must not be bent or
squashed.
!
The power cord should be regularly
checked. 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. 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.
Maximum load
Natural fibres : 8 kg
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' (1m) from the
bottom of the dryer.
Remove the existing hose from
position shown in picture A.
Then fit a suitable length of hose to
position shown in picture B.
!
Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when
the dryer is in its final location.
