FOR A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
PACKAGING MATERIAL
The packaging that protects the drying
cabinet during transport was chosen with
the environment in mind and is therefore
recyclable.
By recycling packaging you reduce the use
of new resources and reduce the amount of
waste.
DISPOSING OF A WORN-OUT
DRYING CABINET
When the drying cabinet has reached the end
of its useful life it must be sent for dismantling.
Many parts can be recycled, but the cabinet
also contains materials that must be disposed
of correctly. So never dispose of the drying
cabinet or its components with general
household waste, as this could cause health
risks and harm the environment.
Send the worn-out drying cabinet to a
recycling station instead. Contact your retailer
for information if necessary.
All the plastic components of the drying
cabinet are marked with standardised
international symbols. These allow the parts to
be sorted correctly for recycling.

_________________________________________
The drying cabinet is only intended for use indoors
in a dry area.
_________________________________________
Do not place the drying cabinet in an area where
high-pressure water is used for cleaning.
______________________________________
LEVELLING
The drying cabinet must be installed upright on a at
surface and be supported by all four feet. It can be
levelled using the adjustable feet.
Use the supplied Allen key to adjust the feet from
inside the cabinet.
Press the four covering plugs rmly into the holes.
SECURING TO WALL
The cabinet must be secured to the wall to prevent it
from tipping over.
1Place the cabinet in the desired location, open the
door and slide out the upper set of hangers.
2Drill two 8 mm holes in the wall through the pre-
drilled holes (1) in the rear of the cabinet.

CONNECTING TO VENTILATION
VENTILATION/AIR SUPPLY
When the cabinet is running it produces 45 m³ of damp air per hour. You should therefore ensure
that the room is well ventilated to replace the damp air that is extracted.
The drying cabinet should be connected to a ventilation system that meets the relevant standards.
The drying cabinet can be connected to a ventilation duct in two ways, either by using the draft sta-
bilizer or by connecting directly to a mechanical extractor.
If the drying cabinet is connected to an existing ventilation system the draft stabilizer must always be
used, to prevent interference with the general ventilation in the premises.
Direct connection should only be used when a dedicated extractor duct is provided for the drying cabinet.
The manufacturer recommends that the drying cabinet is connected using the draft stabilizer.
Place the supplied spigot over the hole in
the top of the cabinet, insert the screws and
secure the spigot.

The drying cabinet must be connected to a 230 V,
single-phase supply at 50 - 60 Hz, via an earthed
wall socket.
Fuse 10 A.
The drying cabinet is supplied ready for connection
with a power cord and earthed plug.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
_______________________________________
The drying cabinet must be connected to an
earthed wall socket using the power cord supplied.
_______________________________________
The socket must be positioned so that the appli-
ance can be easily unplugged if necessary.
_______________________________________
Check that the electrical supply matches the data
on the rating plate and that the supply is earthed
correctly according to the relevant standard. We
recommend that the supply is tted with a residual
current device.
_______________________________________
The socket must have its own fused circuit.
_______________________________________
Do not connect the drying cabinet to the power
supply with an extension lead as the necessary
safety cannot be guaranteed (risk of overhea-
ting).
_______________________________________
The manufacturer will not accept any responsi-
bility if electrical connections are not made as
described in this user manual.
_______________________________________
If the power cord for any reason is damaged, it
must be replaced. A genuine part can obtained
from the cabinet dealer. A replacement cord may
only be installed by a qualied electrician/service
agent.
