Installation
Positioning
Whilst drying, the tumble diyer will
expel a certain amount of warm, very
moist air, and this should be removed
from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. In an extremely
well ventilated room or close to an open
window, this may occur naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry
the diyei^s exhaust outside via a length
of 100mm diameter flexible trunking
(available as an optional extra from your
Zanussi agent); ending either temporarily
at an open window, or permanently at a
fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an
exterior wall or window (Fig. 1).
Fitting the TrunMng
To simplify the installation, there is a
choice of vent outlets: one at the back;
the other in the left hand side (Fig. 2).
Connect the trunking to whichever is the
rnore convenient by pulling the ring nut
from the vent, screwing it on to the
trunking, and pushing it firmly back into
place (Fig. 3).
The unused vent should now be sealed
with the special snap cover provided. If
you find that, when delivered, the dryer
has the cover and ring nut fitted to the
wrong vents, merely switch them round
before connecting the trunking - the
snap in cover just levers out.
Once connected to the dryer, run the
trunking to the desired, outlet point,
ensuring that the run’s overall lenght is
less than 2m, and that it contains no
more than two bends. As to the outlet

itself, if you have decided on a fixed
wall/window grille, a good local builder’s
merchant should be able to supply you
with the necessaiy fittings and
installation advice.
It is important not to connect the
trunking to, for example, a cooker hood,
or a chimney or flue pipe designed to
cany the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
Note that to avoid condensation
problems, it is essential that the dryer be
fitted with flexible trunking to carry its
«exhaust>> at least beyond the kitchen
units; preferable outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance from
overheating, it is important that the steam
exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent
trunking fitted to an exterior wall or
ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust
capacity of at least 150 mVh.
Do not allow' the appliance operating at a
room temperature higher than + 35"C.

Door assembly instructions
The machine can be fitted with a
furniture door with either a left hand or
right hand hinge. The machine is
supplied with the hinge fastening plates
fitted on the left hand side.
To change the door hinging from the left
hand side to the right, the hinge
fastening plates need to be fitted to the
right hand side of the machine, in place
of the plastic plugs. The plastic plugs
then need to be refitted where the plates
were previously located (4 Figure 4).
To fit the door to the appliance, it is
necessary to drill two 35mm diameter
holes, 14mm deep to take the hinges.
Follow the dimensions given in Figure 5
for the positioning of the holes.
Note that the dimension A given is
measured from the top of the appliance
to the first hinge and should be adjusted
if the door is intended to be higher than
the top of the appliance.
To align the door perfectly it may be
necessary to adjust the height of the
plates (2 Figure 4). To do this, loosen the
plastic screws (3 Figure 4), realign the
door and retighten the screws.

Instructions for building in under
a counter
This machine is designed to be built into
a kitchen unit thanks to its standard
dimensions:
Height 82 cms.
Width 60 cms.
Depth 57 cms.
The machine should be inserted into a
recess having the dimensions shown in
fig. 6; making sure that the drain hose is
not bent or kinked in such a way as to
obstruct the normal air flow.
As for electricity connection, please
follow the rules given in this operators
handbook.
Furthermore, we strongly recommend
that the electricity supply cut-off controls
remain easily accessible.
Levelling
To keep vibration and noise to a
minimum when the dryer is in use, it
should be placed on a firm, level surface.
Once in its permanent operating position,
check that the dryer is absolutely level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not,
raise or lower the two adjustable feet at
the front of the machine until it is.

The Electrical Connections
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should this safety measure not be
observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your
appliance is not suitable for your socket
outlet, it must be cut off and the
appropriate plug fitted.
The cut off plug should be disposed of to
prevent the hazard of electric shocks in
case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp
socket in another part of your home.
Important
The vires in this mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
If you fit your own plug, the colours of
the wires in the mains lead of your
appliance may not correspond with the
markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, this is what you have to do:
Connect the green and yellow (earth)
wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter «E» or the earth
symbol or coloured green, or green
and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter «N» or coloured black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the
terminal which is marked with the letter
«L» or coloured red.
The plug moulded on to the cord
incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use
a 13 Amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA
approved fuses should be used.
The fuse cover/carrier must be replaced
in the event of changing fuse.
The right fuse cover/carrier colour is the
one shown by the coloured insert at the
base of the plug.
The plug must not be used if the fuse
cover/carrier is lost. A replacement
cover/carrier must be obtained from
Zanussi Service Agents whose addresses
are listed on the attached «Zanussi
Service Agents Nationwide».
This appliance complies with ER.C.
directive no. 87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to
radio interference suppression.
In addition, avoid connecting the dryer to
the same socket as your washing
machine (or any other appliance) by
means of an adaptor. Have an extra
socket installed if necessary by a
qualified electrician.
