Where to put your dryer

GB
• Place your dryer at a distance
from gas ranges, stoves, heaters,
or cooktops because flames can
damage the appliance. If you
are going to install the appliance
under a work counter, be sure to
leave a 10 mm space between
the top and any other objects on
or above the machine and a 15
mm space between the sides and
lateral furnishings or walls. This is
to ensure proper air circulation.

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 will 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.
Water Drain
If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to drain
the condensed water directly without using the waterbottle. In
which case it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at
the end of each cycle. If the Dryer is positioned above or close to
a Washing Machine the same drainage can be used. Just unlink
the tube indicated in figure A and connect it to the drainage.
If the drainage is further away than the length of the tube it is
possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter and
the necessary length in order to reach the drainage. To install the
new tube just substitute the existing one as indicated in figure B
inserting it in the same place.
! The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer.
! Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that the drain
tube is not bent or contorted.

Electrical connection

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 indicated on the data plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indi-
cated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).

• The socket must be compatible with the machine's plug. If
not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.
!
Do not use extension cords.
!
The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces,
even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this ap-
pliance to rain and thunderstorms.
!
Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and plug
must be at hand.
!
The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.
!
If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it must
be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it can be
plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}
!
The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced
with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then be
installed by an authorised technician only (see Assistance). New
or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised dealers at a
supplementary cost.
!
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to
observe these instructions.
!
When in doubt about the above indications, contact a
qualified electrician.

Levelling the tumble dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.
When you have installed your dryer in its final location check
that it is level first side-to-side, then front to back. If the dryer is
not level, adjust the two legs up or down until your dryer is level.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you've installed your dryer and before you use it, clean
the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have
accumulated during transportation.
Warning ! Before you use your dryer ensure that its has
been in a upright position for at least 6 hours.
