). New or longer power cords are supplied at

an extra charge by authorised dealers..

!

Ensure that any portable outlet or extension lead is

positioned so that it is not subjected to any splashing
or ingress of moistures.

!

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 your 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,
use a wooden block to 
support it while adjusting
the two front legs up or
down, until your dryer is
level.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you
use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any
dust that could have accumulated during transport.

Open window venting

The end of the tube
should be directed 
downwards, to prevent
warm moist air from 
condensing in the room
or in  the dryer.

!

Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and

that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards
the air intake duct.

!

The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum

performance.

!

Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents

are not obstructed or blocked.

!

The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.

!

Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.

!

Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is

used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that
burn gas or other fuels.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:

The socket must be grounded.

The socket must be able to sustain the machines 
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating 
label (

see Dryer Description

).

Power voltage must be within the values indicated 
on the rating label (

see Dryer Description

).

The socket must be compatible with the dryers 
plug.  Should this not be the case, replace the 
plug or the socket.

!

The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if

the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it
is exposed to rain or storms.

!

Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug

must be within easy reach.
