Where to install the tumble dryer

• Install the dryer far 

from gas ranges, stoves, 

radiators or hobs, as 

flames may damage it.

If the dryer is installed 

below a worktop, 

ensure there are 10 mm 

between the upper panel 

of the dryer and any 

objects above it, and 15 

mm between the sides of the machine and 

the walls or furniture units adjacent to it. This 

ensures adequate air circulation.

The appliance must be installed with the rear 

surface placed against a wall. 

Ventilation

• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is 
running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free 
of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of 
air around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense 
during drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is 
placed in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.

!

 Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small 

or cold room.

!

  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 your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be 
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to 
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or 
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same 
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3’ (1 m) from 
the bottom of the dryer.
Remove existing hose from position shown in picture 

A

 and fit 

a suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture 

B

.

The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of 

the Dryer

!

 

Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked

when the dryer is in its final location.

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 rating plate.

•  The power supply voltage must fall within 

the values indicated on the data plate.

•  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.

!

 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 must be regularly checked. If the 

supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced 

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 

dealers 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

.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the 
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated 
during transportation.
