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 data plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated
on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
• 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.
The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug
and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a
replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved
to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used
without a fuse cover. 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.
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 cord should be checked periodically and replaced
by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by
authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power
cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized 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 the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to
operate correctly.
After installing the tumble
dryer in its permanent
position, make sure it is
level; check its side-to-side
levelling first, followed by
front-to-back.
If the tumble dryer is not
perfectly level, use a wooden
block to support it while you
adjust the two front feet,
making them taller or shorter
as necessary.
Preliminary information
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.
