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, en-
sure there are 10 mm
between the upper
panel of the dryer and
any objects above it,
and 15 mm between the sides of the machi-
ne 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.
! 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.
! The power cord is supplied fitted with a
BS1363 plug and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse.
If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must
be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type.
WARNING: The plug must not be used without
a fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover
is required, it must be of the same colour coding
or wording as shown on the base of the plug.
Replacements are available from authorised
dealers.
Preliminary information
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.
