Where to put your dryer
●
Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.
●
If you are going to install the
appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a
10mm space between the top
and any other objects on or
above the machine and a
15mm space between the
sides and lateral furnishings or
walls.
This is to ensure proper air circulation.
!
Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.
Ventilation
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an
environment that is not damp and has proper air
circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is
essential to condense the water produced during the
washing, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an
enclosed space or cupboard.
!
If using the dryer in a small or cold room some
condensation could be experienced.
!
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.
Door Reversal Instructions
The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be
changed. Exchange diagonally hinge brackets and
blanking screws. Exchange door latch and catch with
their opposite blanking plates (
see diagram above
).
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 (
see Plumbing your Dryer).
Electrical connections
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:
●
The socket must be grounded.
●
The socket must be able to sustain the machines
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating
label (
see Dryer Description
).
●
Power voltage must be within the values indicated on
the rating label (
see Dryer Description
).
●
The socket must be compatible with the dryers 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 it is
exposed to rain or storms.
!
Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug
must be within easy reach.
!
The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
!
The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug
and a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the
fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA
approved to BS1362.
Moulded plug
!
The plug must not be used
without the fuse cover in place.
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 supply cord should be checked periodically
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer
and fitted only by authorised technicians (
see Service
).
New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra
charge by authorised 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.
Before you start using your dryer
Once you have installed your dryer and before you use
it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust
that could have accumulated during transport.
