Installation
Where to put your dryer
• Place your dryer at a distance
from gas ranges, stoves,
heaters, or cooktops because
flames can damage the
appliance.
If you are going to install the
appliance under a work counter,
be sure to leave a 10 mm
space between the top and any
other objects on or above the
machine and a 15 mm space
between the sides and lateral
furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.
Ventilation
• When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout.
Airflow around the dryer is essential to condense the water
produced during the washing, the dryer will not operate
efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.
If using the dryer in a small or cold room some
condensation will be experienced.
We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the dryer door.
Water Drain
If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to
drain the condensed water directly without using the
waterbottle. In which case it is no longer necessary to
empty the water bottle at the end of each cycle.If the Dryer
is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine the
same drainage can be used. Just unlink the tube indicated
in figure A and connect it to the drainage.
If the drainage is further away than the length of the tube it
is possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter
and the necessary length in order to reach the drainage.
To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as
indicated in figure B inserting it in the same place.
The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom
of the Dryer.
Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that
the drain tube is not bent or contorted.

Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the
following:
• Make sure your hands are dry.
• The socket must have an earth connection.
• The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s
maximum power output as indicated on the data plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values
indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble
dryer).
• The socket must be compatible with the machine’s plug. If
not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.
Do not use extension cords.
The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces,
even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this
appliance to rain and thunderstorms.
Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and
plug must be at hand.
The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.
If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it must
be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it can be
plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}
The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced
with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then be
installed by an authorised technician only (see Assistance).
New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised
dealers at a supplementary cost.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure
to observe these instructions.
When in doubt about the above indications, contact a
qualified electrician.
Before you start using your dryer
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum
before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during
transportation.
