1) The "standard cotton” at full and partial load are the standard programmes to
which the information in the label and the fiche relates. The standard cotton
program is suitable to dry at cupboard level (0%) cotton laundry and is the most
efficient programme in terms of energy consumption. Partial load is half the rated
load.
2) based on 160 drying cycles of the standard cotton programme at full and partial
load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption
will depend on how the appliance is used.
3) Weighted average of 3 cycles at full load and 4 cycles at half load.

Where to put your dryer
• Place your dryer at
a distance from gas
ranges, stoves, heaters,
or cooktops because
flames can damage the
appliance. The dryer
should be installed
in an ambient room
temperature of between
20 to 23°C for optimum
performance. But will function if the room is
between 14 and 30°C. 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.
The appliance must be installed with the rear
surface placed against a wall.
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 remove 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 kinked.
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 indi-
cated on the rating 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
dryer’s plug. Should this not be the case,
replace the plug or the socket.
!
DO NOT use extension cords.
!
The dryer must not be installed outdoors,
even if the space is sheltered. It can be very
dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.
!
Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and
plug must be within reach.
!
The power cord must not be bent or
squashed.
!
The power cord is supplied fitted with a
BS1363 plug and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse.
If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must
be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type.
WARNING: The plug must not be used without a
fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover is
required, it must be of the same colour coding or
wording as shown on the base of the plug.
Replacements are available from authorised
dealers.
Changing the plug
The wires in the power cord are coloured in
accordance with the following.
!
If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable
type, then the cut-off plug must be disposed of
safely. DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted
into a socket and create a shock hazard.
!
The power cord must be regularly checked.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
(see Assistance).
New or longer
electric cords are supplied by authorised dea-
lers at a supplementary cost.
!
The manufacturer denies any responsibility
should any of these rules not be followed.
!
If in doubt about any of the above
consult a qualified electrician
.

Levelling the tumble dryer
The dryer must be installed level for correct
operation.
When you have installed your dryer in its final
location check that it is level first side-to-side,
then front to back. If the dryer is not level,
adjust the two legs up or down until your dryer
is level.
Before you start using our dryer
Once you’ve installed your dryer and before you use it, clean
the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have
accumulated during transportation.
Warning ! Before you use your dryer ensure that its has
been in a upright position for at least 6 hours.
