PACKING MATERIAL
The packaging that protects the drying cabinet
against damage in transit has been chosen with
concern for the environment in mind and is
therefore recyclable.
Recycled packaging means reduced consump-
tion of raw materials and lower levels of waste.
MANAGEMENT OF END-OF-LIFE
DRYING CABINET
When the drying cabinet has reached the end
of its life, it must be taken to a recycling centre
for disposal. Many parts can be re-used, but the
cabinet also contains other material that must
be handled correctly.You should therefore never
dispose of a drying cabinet or parts of a cabinet
with the domestic refuse as this can lead to health
risks and harm the environment.
Take the end-of-life drying cabinet to a recycling
station instead. Check with your dealer if neces-
sary.
All the plastic parts of the drying cabinet are
marked with internationally standardised sym-
bols. The parts can therefore be recycled in an
environmentally friendly way by waste separation.

pFit the spigot supplied to the hose. Ax
the spigot and hose to the dryer top.
Connect the other end of the hose to the
draft stabilizer which should then be
rmly attached to the exhaust air valve.
EXHAUST
When the drying cabinet is working, 45 m of moist air are evacuated per hour. This air is taken
from the room where the dryer is sited. Hence make sure air can enter the room to replace the
moist air leaving.
1. BY MEANS OF A DRAFT STABILIZER
The drying cabinet should be connected to a standard register.
The drying cabinet can be connected to an exhaust duct in two ways: either with a draught inter-
rupter or rigidly connected to an exhaust air ventilation system.
If the drying cabinet is to be connected to an existing ventilation system, a draught interrupter must
always be used, so that the general ventilation in the room is not aected.
Only use a rigid connection when a separate exhaust air duct has been provided for the drying cabinet.
The air ow in the exhaust duct should be adjusted to 45 m/hour.
The drying cabinet has been tested and set at the factory for connection with a draught interrupter.

USING THE DRYING CABINET
In the cabinet there are three sections with hang-
ers. Every section has a number of rods on which
to hang the washing.
The optimised hanging system has extendable
hangers.
p
Hang the articles in the drying cabinet according
to how much room they require - not according
to their weight.
pFor optimum eciency - do not lay articles
at on the upper hanging section.
pPlace long clothes nearest to the walls of the
cabinet and shorter ones towards the centre.
By hanging the washing in this way the most
ecient drying results are attained.
pDo not overload the drying cabinet. The
washing will become creased and dry
unevenly. Instead, leave a certain distance
between items of washing, if this is possible.
pTo avoid the transferring of colours make sure
materials do not contact each other.
pAvoid drying thick clothes at the same time
as lighter articles as they hold more moisture
and have completely dierent drying times.
p
Remember not to hang knitted articles.These can
be stretched when they are heavy with water.
POSITIONING THE WASHING USER TIPS
pAlways follow the washing instructions on
clothes if such instructions are available.
pIf a softening agent or antistatic substance is
used, the manufacturer’s instructions concer-
ning the utilisation of the product should be
followed.
p
Take out washing that is already dry. This re-
duces drying time for the washing that is left.
______________________________________
NOTE: The sealing strip in the door may not
function satisfactorily when cabinet is
cold, however as soon as cabinet warms
up, it will once again function.
______________________________________
AIRFLOW
The gure shows the airow in the drying
cabinet.

USING THE DRYING CABINET

19
OPERATIONAL DISTURBANCES
PROTECTION AGAINST OVERHEATING
The drying cabinet is equipped with an overheating protection device
which trips if the temperature in the cabinet becomes too high.When the
protection device trips, the voltage feed to the drying cabinet main power
switch (1) is interrupted and the green luminous indicator (2) goes o. In
this case the drying cabinet will not start.
When the temperature in the drying cabinet has sunk to an acceptable
level, the overheating protection device is reset automatically and the
green indicator (2) lights up (N.B.! If the main power switch (1) is at the
ON position - pressed in).
It takes about 15-20 minutes for the temperature to sink to an acceptable
level.
Therefore,if the drying cabinet has recently been used and if the green
indicator (2) will not light up with the main power switch (1),always wait
a minimum of 20 minutes. Then make a new attempt to start it before
reporting the fault.
In the case of repeated operational disturbances, contact your supp-
lier.
The two automatic programs of the drying cabinet can be optimised to
match the installation conditions.
To do this, use the control panel to adjust the parameter values for the
relevant automatic programme.
Only do this if you think that:
pThe washing is not being suciently dried
pThe washing is being over-dried – excessive drying time.
See the parameter adjustment instructions.

______________________________________
NOTE! High-pressure cleaning should not be
used!
____________________________________
pThe walls of the cabinet should be cleaned
with a mild soap solution on a damp cloth.
pDust frequently gathers around the air intake
under and on top of the cabinet.This can
cause disturbances in the way the cabinet
functions which can, in turn, lead to a shut-
down.
To avoid this problem, the dust should be
removed by suction from the air intake and
the top of the cabinet at least once a year or
more often depending on the environment
the cabinet is placed in.
