Where to install the tumble dryer
• Install the dryer far
from gas ranges, stoves,
radiators or hobs, as
flames may damage it.
If the dryer is installed
below a worktop, en-
sure there are 10 mm
between the upper pa-
nel 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 applian-
ce must be installed with the rear surface
placed against a wall.
Ventilation
• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is
running. 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 du-
ring 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.
!
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.
! 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.
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 .
!
Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its final location.
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 indi-
cated on the rating 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 must be regularly che-
cked. If the supply cord is damaged, it
