Installation

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.

!

Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction 

system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will
affect the way the thermal controls operate and can
result in a fire hazard.

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 is fitted with a BS1363 plug

and a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the
fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA
approved to BS1362.

Moulded plug 

!

The plug must not be used

without the fuse cover in place. 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.

Green and Yellow
(Earth) wire to terminal
marked ‘E’, symbol     ,
or coloured green and
yellow.

13A ASTA approved
fuse to BS1362.

Brown (Live) wire to
terminal marked ‘L’ or
coloured red.

Blue (Neutral) wire to
terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.

Cord clamp

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 supply cord 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.

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.
