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 fi nal 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

.
