Where to install the tumble dryer

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

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.

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.

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.

Electrical connections

 

Before plugging the appliance into the socket, 

10 mm

15 mm

15 mm

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.

Do not use extension leads. Do not pull the 

power supply cable. Do not use multiple 

plug adaptors if the appliance is fitted with a 

plug. For appliances with fitted plug, if the 

plug is not suitable for you socket outlet, 

contact a qualified technician.

The dryer must not be installed outdoors, 

even if the space is sheltered. 

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 service agent . 

(see Assistance).

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.
