Positioning
It is recommended that, for your
convenience, the machine is positioned
close to your washing machine. Whilst
drying, the tumble dryer will expel a
certain amount of warm, very moist air,
and this should be removed from the
room as quickly as possible to prevent
condensation. In an extremely well
ventilated room or close to an open
window, this may occur naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry
the dryer's exhaust outside via the 100
mm diameter flexible hose supplied with
the appliance; ending either temporarily
at an open window, or permanently at a
fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior
wall or window. The tumble dryer must
be installed in a clean place, where dirt
does not build up. Make sure there are
no obstructing items or material near the
air-intake louvres provided at the back
(e.g. paper, rags etc.). To keep vibration
and noise to a minimum when the dryer
is in use, it should be placed on a firm,
level surface. Once in its permanent
operating position, check that the dryer
is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet
until it is.
The feet must never
be removed. Do not
restrict the floor
clearance through
deeppile carpets,
strips of wood or
similar. This might
cause heat build-up
which would interfere with the operation
of the appliance.
When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not exceed
35°C, as it may affect the performance
of the appliance.
Fitting the vent hose
To simplify the installation, there is a
choice of vent outlets: one at the back,
the others in the left and right-hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the
more convenient by pulling the ring nut
(A) from the vent outlet at the back,
screwing it on to the hose and pushing it
firmly back into place. The unused vents
should now be sealed with the special
snap covers provided.
Advice: If the hose is long and the room
temperature low, the moisture might
condense to water inside the hose. This
is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from Iying in the
hose or flowing back into the tumble
dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole
(dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the
hose and to place a small container
below it.(See picture, point B).
