Installation

Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing ma-
chine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this
should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely
well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is
better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the vent hose supplied with the appliance; ending eit-
her temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fi Xed ventilation grille, fi tted to an exterior
wall or window. The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back
(e.g. paper, rags etc.). To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should
be placed on a fi rm, level surface.
Level adjustment
When pushing down the edges of the dryer top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and
down at all.( please check both of two directions) if the machine rocks when pushing the machine top
plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.
• Loosen the locknuts
• Adjust the adjustable feet to lower the dryer by tuming right and to ascend it by turning left.
• Tighten the locknut after insuring the dryer is level.
ATTENTION: The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the fl oor clearance through deep pile
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the ope-
ration of the appliance. The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must there not be installed in fl oors which are not resistant to high temperatures.
Fitting the vent hose
Pull the ring nut from the vent outlet, aligning arrows of hose
and ring nut, fastening by screwing hose to the direction of arrow
and pushing it fi rmly back into place (right picture). If the hose is
long and the room temperature low, the moisture might conden-
se inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from lying in the hose or fl owing back into
the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in
the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below
it. (See picture below).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desire
outlet point, it contains no more than two bends. As to the outle
itself, if you have decided on a fi xed wall/window grille, a good
local builder's merchant should be able to supply you with the
necessary fi ttings and installation advice. lt is important not to
connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chim-
ney or fl ue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating,it
is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
If the dryer is fi tted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent
hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed,drying ef-
fi ciency will be reduced,resulting in longer drying times and hig-
her energy consumption.lf the hose is completely squashed,the
safety cut-outs with which the machine is fi tted may operate.
