Installation
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
ducted from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated
room or if the dryer is 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 airintake 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 level.
The feet must never be removed.
Do not restrict the floor clearance through
deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar.
This might cause heat buildup which would
interfere with the operation of the appliance.
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.
There has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the
back flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires, when
operating the tumble dryer.

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
righthand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the most
convenient outlet 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.
A d v i c e : 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).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to
the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s
overall length is less than 2.5 m, and that it contains
no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if
you decide on a fixed wall/window grille, a local
builder should be able to supply you with the
necessary fittings and installation advice.
