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.
The appliance must be installed with the rear
surface placed against a wall.
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 du-
ring 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 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 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
.
!
The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of
the Dryer
!
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 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.
!
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 checked. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or simi-
larly qualified persons in order to avoid a ha-
zard.
(see Assistance).
New or longer electric
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.
