Where to put your dryer 

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can 
damage the appliance.

If you are going to install 
the appliance under a work 
counter, be sure to leave a 
10mm space between the 
top and any other objects 
on or above the machine and 
a 15mm space between the
sides and lateral furnishings 
or walls. This is to ensure

proper air circulation. Make sure that the back vents
are not obstructed.

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.

!

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.

!

If using the dryer in a small or cold room some 

condensation could be experienced.

Door Reversal Instructions 

The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be
changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and
blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with
their opposite blanking plates (

see diagram above

).

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' (1m)
from the bottom of the dryer.

Remove the existing clip and hose
from position shown (

see diagram

). 

Fit a suitable length of hose to the
new location shown (

see diagram

)

and refit clip.

!

Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when

the dryer is in its final location.

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.

!

Do not use extension cords.

!

The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

!

The power cord supplied should be checked 

periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared
for this dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians
(

see Service

). New or longer power cords are supplied

at an extra charge by authorised 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.

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.
