4- INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
Before to install the Dryer check if:
•Wire diameter (gauge) complies with specifications (see table of item 2.1).
•Supply voltage indicated by the label of Dryer Power Supply Cord is the same as the outlet where the
Appliance will be connected.
•Will be appropriate Hot Air Exhausting
•The installation condition: has good ventilation;
is not exposed to sunlight, heat sources or rain;
has a ground wire and the circuit breaker(s) is (are) installed.
•There is a 10 cm minimum clearance between the Dryer and the walls.
•Do not use electrical extension and/or electrical “T” sockets, as they can be sources of bad contact and
overloads in the mains.
•The Dryer is well leveled, in order to prevent vibration and noise.
4.1 – Wire diameter (Gauge) for installation purposes:
voltage /
gauge 2.5 mm2
(12 AWG) 4.0 mm2 (10 AWG) 6.0 mm2 (8 AWG) 10.0 mm2 (6 AWG)
Distance from
the Circuit
Breaker 220 V up to 70 meters 71 to116 meters -- --
It’s very important and necessary to install a ground wire if it is unavailable.
4.2 – Rack Installation:
There is a risk of death or injury if the installation instructions are not followed properly.
The security instructions mentioned below point out possible risks and advise the user how to reduce the
possibility of any injury and details what can happen if the instructions are not followed properly.
Before installing the Rack Set:
Check if the walls of Customer’s home have the required structural conditions to have the Dryer's Rack Set
safely installed.
Check if the area where the rack will be installed is free of water, electricity and gas pipelines. For your
safety, please wear protective glove to handle the parts from the Rack Set and to lift the Dryer during
installation.
If the residence have walls made of wood or plaster, it is recommended that the installation of the dryer not
be done until you contact an exclusive representative of the material used for the walls and verify if the wall
material can take the weight of the dryer.
In case the dryer is installed in a wooden or plaster wall without the approval of the wall material
manufacturer, you will risk that the dryer might fall and void the warranty.

7 – FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS:

MSEX0110i – Wall Mounted Dryer WSI24ABBPH00 Page 10 -21
7.1 – Drying Cycles:
The Dryer features 2 specific drying cycles for different fabric types: Normal Cycle and
Delicate Cycle.
•The Normal Cycle was designed to dry cotton and polyester clothes, with a
temperature of 60°C.
•The Delicate Cycle was designed to dry synthetic and fine clothes, with a
temperature of 45°C.
Note: Please see Instruction Use on item 8.1 – Delicate Cycle Knob
7.2 – Air Cycle / Cold Air:
At the end of each programming cycle, the Dryer will switch to cold air during
10 minutes, in order to cool the clothes and give a soft and agreeable touch
to the fabrics. The softening cycle can also be used to eliminate certain
smells from the clothes, such as mildew and cigarette smoke.
7.3 – Anti-Wrinkle System:
The Anti-Wrinkle System occurs during all drying cycles. It reverts the drum rotation direction at regular
intervals, preventing the entanglement of the clothes and minimizing wrinkle formation.
TABLE OF DRYER’S OPERATING TIMES (All Cycles)
DRUM TIME DRYER FUNCTION
Counterclockwise Rotation 5 minutes Clothes drying period
Still 3 seconds Drum reversion period
Clockwise Rotation 5 seconds Anti-wrinkle system period
Still 3 seconds Drum reversion period
These times are repeated during the entire dryer programming.
7.4 – Decorative Panel:
On its decorative panel, the Dryer shows the approximate clothes drying times, according to the clothes
quantity to be dried and the desired moisture level – that is, dry clothes for ironing or laying away. These
times are merely illustrative and have been calculated for clothes that are spun in 750-rpm Washers.

10.3 – Micro Switch:
The Micro Switch is a security device that prevents Dryer operation when the Door is open. It is located inside
the Front Panel, in the upper right corner.
To test the switch, disconnect the wires from the leads and check continuity.
Apply the probes of a Multimeter to the Micro Switch leads and push
its stem to close the contacts. These
contacts will be open when the stem is not pushed.
Micro Switch with pushed stem Micro Switch with released stem

The Micro Switch must be replaced together with its support, in order to avoid any damages to the switch.
10.4 – Temperature Selector Switch (Normal/Delicate):
The Temperature Selector Switch can be found inside the Instrument Support, in the left side of Dryer.
When this Switch is pushed
, the Dryer operates in the Gentle Cycle, i.e. at a temperature of 45ºC. When the
Switch is released, the Dryer operates in the Normal Cycle, i.e. at a temperature of 60ºC.
To check the switch with a Multimeter check the continuity between the terminals as the chart below:
