Zanussi ZDE 47100W - Manual (Page 12)

Important! The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can
reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must
therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant
to high temperatures.
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature
must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as
it may affect the performance of the appliance.
Warning! Should the appliance be moved, it must
be transported vertically.
Warning! The appliance must not be installed
behind the lockable door, a sliding door or a door
with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.
Removing transport safety packaging
Caution! Before use all parts of the transport
packaging must be removed.
1. Open loading door.
2. Pull off adhesive strips
from inside machine on
top of drum.
3. Remove foil hose and
polystyrene padding from
the machine.
Fitting the vent hose
To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent out-
lets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand
side. Connect the hose to whichever is the more conven-
ient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the
back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back
into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with
the special snap covers provided.

If the hose is long and the
room temperature low, the
moisture might condense to
water inside the hose. This
is an unavoidable natural
phenomenon. To prevent
this water from Iying in the
hose or flowing back into the
tumble dryer, it is advisable
to drill a small hole (via. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the
hose and to place a small container below it. (See picture,
point B).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the
desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s overall length
is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two
bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a
fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant
should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings
and installation advice.
Warning!
It is important not to connect
the vent hose to, for
example, a cooker hood, or
a chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the
exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
Note that to avoid conden-
sation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with
the flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the
kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen. In order to
prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important
that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Therefore, in case
of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it
must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/
h. If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that
the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially
squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in
