Location requirements
Select a level, well-constructed surface that will withstand vibrations. Select a
location where a grounded, 3-prong outlet is easily accessible.
WARNING
• Install the dryer indoors only.
• Do not install the dryer in areas exposed to the weather.
• Do not install the dryer where the temperature may fall below 5 °C or rise above
35 °C.

25 mm 25 mm 490 mm 51 mm
If installing the dryer with a washer, the front of the alcove or closet must have an
unobstructed air opening of at least 490 mm.
Electrical and grounding requirements
• The dryer requires an AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz electrical supply.
• The dryer must be properly grounded. If the dryer malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the electric current. The dryer comes with a power cord that has
a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
• If you have any questions regarding the electrical or grounding requirements,
