 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 should be checked periodically and replaced 

by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by 

authorized technicians 

(see Service). 

New or longer power 

cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized dealers. 

!

 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 your 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. 

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 

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 connection 

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the 

electrical socket:

•  Ensure your Hands are dry.

 

•  The socket must be grounded.

 

•  The socket must be able to sustain the machine’s 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 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.
