EVACUATION / SUPPLY AIR
When the cabinet is on, approx. 95 m³ moist air per hour is evacuated. It must
therefore be ensured that air can enter the room to replace the moist air that is
vented out.
CONNECTION TO EVACUATION
The drying cabinet can be connected to the evacuation duct in two ways, either
with a draft stabiliser or permanently tted to a mechanical exhaust vent.
If the drying cabinet is to be connected to an existing vent system, a draught
stabiliser must always be used, so that the general ventilation in the room is not
aected.
Permanent tting must only be carried out when a separate exhaust-air duct is
routed to the drying cabinet, the air ow in the exhaust-air duct being adjusted
to 95 m³ per hour.
The drying cabinet has been tested and factory-set for connection with a draught
stabiliser.
Air connection on the cabinet
Position and t the supplied
spigot (1) over the hole on
the top of the drying cabi-
net. Rotate clockwise until
the spigot clicks into place
in the slots in the roof.

The drying cabinet must be connected to
a 230 V single-phase 50-60 Hz and protec-
tively earthed wall socket.
Fuse 10A.
The drying cabinet is supplied ready for
connection with a cable and an earthed
plug.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The manufacturer disclaims all liability
if the electrical connection has not been
carried out in the way described in this
user manual.
The drying cabinet must be connected to
a dedicated circuit.
Check that the connection current agrees
with the data on the identification plate
and that the power cord is earthed
correctly in accordance with applicable
standard. We recommend that the power
cord be fitted with a residual current
device (RCD).
The socket should be located so that the
plug can be easily pulled out if necessary.
The drying cabinet should be connected
to an earthed wall socket using the
connecting cable supplied and must not
be permanently wired.
Note: A replacement cord must only be
fitted by a qualified electrician.
If the mains lead for any reason is dam-
aged, it must be replaced. A genuine
spare part can be obtained from the
dealer who supplied the cabinet.

STARTUP
CAUTION Read the safety instructions on
page 5 before using the cabinet.
1Make sure that the cabinet is rmly
attached to the wall. See page 11.
2Make sure that no packaging mate-
rial has been left behind.
3Use a mild detergent with hot water
and wash the inside and outside of
the drying cabinet. Dry carefully. See
also the ‘Care’ section later in the
manual.
Read these operating
instructions before using
the drying cabinet for the
first time.

16
ARRANGING LAUNDRY FOR DRYING
p Hang the items in the drying cabinet
according to how much space they require
- not according to their weight.
p For most ecient drying, do not lay
item at on the upper hanger section.
pPosition long items closest to the
walls of the cabinet and shorter items
towards the centre of the cabinet.
The most ecient drying results are
achieved by hanging the items in this
way.
pFold up the two bottom hanger sec-
tions if long items are to be dried.
p
Hang gloves, caps, scarves and similar
items on the hanger strips on the inside
of the door.
p All the hanger sections are extendible to
make it easier to hang laundry.The hanger
sections must be in their inner position
when the door is closed.
pDo not overload the drying cabinet.
If you do, the laundry will become
creased and dry unevenly. Instead,
leave a space between the items if
possible.
pIf there is a risk of particular items shed-
ding colour, free space should be left
around them.
pAvoid drying heavy items of clothing
together with lighter items as they have
very dierent drying times.
pDry knitted products flat. These are
heavy when wet and stretch unneces-
sarily if they are hung on a peg.
USER TIPS
pAlways following the laundry instruc-
tions on the item of clothing if present.
pIf a fabric conditioner or anti-static
agent is used, follow the manufacturer's
instructions for use of this product.
pAdapt the drying temperature in the
cabinet for products that contain foam
rubber or similar material. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions closely for
the washing and drying of such prod-
ucts.
AIR FLOW
The illustration shows the air ow in the
drying cabinet.
Keep the area
around the evacu-
ation duct clear of
dust and dirt.
Make sure that the
air intake and ex-
haust duct are not
blocked.
See page 6.
Note: When the cabinet is cold it may
happen that the door’s sealing strip does
not close completely. However, this is fully
compensated when the cabinet is operating
with heat as the sealing strip expands.
There are three sections with hangers in the cabinet, depending on choice of
interior ttings. Each section has a number of rails for hanging laundry.

17
OPERATION
The drying cabinet is equipped with three automatic programmes and three
manually time-controlled programmes suited to dierent types of clothing.
There are also extra functions for the automatic programmes.
The drying process is controlled by sensors or timer and temperature settings.
Choice of drying programme is guided by: - energy eciency
- gentle treatment of fabrics
- dealing with fabrics that are dicult to
dry
- total time for drying process
CHOICE OF AUTOMATIC PROGRAMME
When choosing automatic programme, you need to ask some questions
1WHEN MUST THE LAUNDRY BE DRY?
Can it wait for a long time? Or is it urgent?
Long tine: choose ECO+, which is the cabinet's most energy-ecient pro-
gramme.
Medium time: Choose between HIGH and LOW with the option ECO.
Short time: choose between HIGH and LOW.
2WHAT TYPE OF FABRICS ARE THEY?
If they are tough fabrics, such as cotton, choose HIGH.
If they are sensitive fabrics, choose LOW.
If they are fabrics that are dicult to dry, such as children's overalls, choose
Extra Dry for either HIGH or LOW.
3WHY DOES THE CABINET NOT CLOSE BY ITSELF?
The cabinet is adjusted to a particular environment. If the environment in
question diers from this reference environment, you may need to make
some adjustment to the parameters controlling the drying process.
The procedure for setting is described in “Adjustment of parameters and cali-
bration of sensor” on page 22.

You can choose an optional extra function, EXTRA DRY, for AUTO LOW and AUTO HIGH.
EXTRA DRY is for fabrics that are thicker and more dicult to dry,
such as children's overalls, ski suits, etc. AUTO HIGH and EXTRA
DRY or AUTO LOW and EXTRA DRY now light up.
In addition, there is an extra function, ECO, as an option for AUTO HIGH.
ECO is a programme that makes use of the thermal energy where
it produces the greatest benet. This results in a programme that
is longer than the normal programme, but consumes less energy. If
AUTO ECO+ has been chosen as a drying programme as above, this
function is already pre-selected. AUTO HIGH and ECO now light up.
