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
wor top, ensure there are 10
mm between the upper panel of
the dryer and any objects
above it, and 15 mm between
the sides of the machine and
the walls or furniture units
adjacent to it. This ensures
adequate air circulation.
Ventilation
The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is
running. Ma e 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
during 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
loc able 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 stac ed 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.

Installation
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the soc et, chec the
following:
Ma e sure your hands are dry.
The soc et must have an earth connection.
The soc et must be able to withstand the machines
maximum power output as indicated on the data 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 soc et must be compatible with the machines plug. If
not, either the soc et 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
appliance 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 soc et and cause electric shoc s.{}
The electric cord must be regularly chec ed 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.
Preliminary information
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.
