AElectrical safety instructions should be followed while
electrical connection is made during the installation.
AThe appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer,or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by utility.
• Connect the dryer to a grounded outlet protected by a
fuse at the value specified on the type label. Have the

BIf the dryer is faulty, it must not be operated unless it
is repaired by an authorised service agent! There is
the risk of electric shock!
1.1.2 Product safety
• Superheating of the clothes inside of the dryer can
occur if you cancel the programme or in the event
of a power failure whilst the dryer is running, this
concentration of heat can cause self-combustion
and fire so always activate the ventilation
programme to cool down or quickly remove all
laundry from the dryer in order to hang them up
and dissipate the heat.
Points to be taken into consideration for fire
hazard:
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried
in the dryer because of fire hazard.
• Unwashed laundry items
• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil,
kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, paraffin or
solvents must be washed in hot water with plenty of
detergent before being dried in the dryer.

Dryer / User Manual
Important safety and environmental
instructions

Below specified laundry or items must not be
dried in the dryer due to the fire hazard:
• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam
(latex foam), shower caps, water resistant textiles,
materials with rubber reinforcement and rubber
foam pads.
• Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.
Items such as lighters, matches, coins, metal parts,
needle etc. may damage the drum set or may lead to
functional problems. Therefore check pockets off the
laundry that you will load into your dryer.
Never stop your dryer before the programme
completes. If you must do this, remove all laundry
quickly and lay them out to dissipate the heat.
Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on
their own and even may ignite after drying ends.
• You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent
gases exiting from devices operating with other types of
fuels including the naked flame from accumulating in the
room due to the back fire effect.
AClothing that contains metal reinforcements should
not be dried in the dryer. Dryer may be damaged
if metal reinforcements come loose and break off
during drying.

electrician and technician to make necessary
arrangements.
CPreparation of the dryer's location
as well as the electrical and
waste water installations is under
customer's responsibility.
APrior to installation, visually check
if the dryer has any defects on
it. If the drier is damaged, do
not have it installed. Damaged
products cause risks for your
safety.
ALet your dryer wait for 12 hours
before starting to use it.
3.1 Appropriate installation

Installation

Dryer / User Manual 17 / EN
Make sure that you have an earthed power
outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum).
4.1 Attention!
When installed, the socket must be reachable
after installation, or a separate switch (which
can disconnect the two poles) must be used
in the installation. Check for suitability.For a
permanent connection, a master switch with
at least 3mm contact clearance and minimum
13 A rating must be used.
4.2 Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket
make sure that the voltage and the frequency
shown in the rating label corresponds to your
electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be con-
nected to the mains supply via a suitable
switched and fused socket in a readily acces-
sible position. Should the mains lead of the
appliance become damaged or need replac-
ing at any time, it must be replaced by a spe-
cial purpose made mains lead which can only
be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.
AWarning
This appliance must be earthed
If the tted moulded plug is not suitable for
your socket, then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug tted.
The moulded plug on this appliance incorpo-
rates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be
replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of
the same rating must be used. Do not forget
to ret the fuse cover. In the event of losing
the fuse cover, the plug must not be used un-
til a replacement fuse cover has been tted.
Colour of the replacement fuse cover must
be the same colour as that visible on the pin
face of the plug. Fuse covers are available
from any good electrical store.
In order to avoid hazards, damaged supply
cord should be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualied people.

of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals
on your plug, proceed as follows:
1 Connect the green - yellow or green (earth)
wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or
with the symbol or coloured green and yel-
low or green.
2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the termi-
nal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the termi-
nal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must
be tted either in the plug or adaptor or in the
main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualied
electrician.
4.4 Washer/dryer combination
Do not stack washing machine on top of the
tumble dryer. This would damage both appli-
ances and guarantees would become void.
It is also unsafe to stack an appliance on top
of another without using a suitable and ap-
proved stacking kit obtained from the manu-
facturer of the appliances.
• A special stacking kit is required as an op-
tional extra please contact customer service.
