Where to install the tumble dryer
If the dryer is installed
below a worktop,
ensure there are 10
mm between the
upper panel 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 appliance must be installed with the rear
surface placed against a wall.
Ventilation
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
during 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.
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
.
The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of
the Dryer
Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its final location.
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.
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 rating plate.
The power supply voltage must fall within
the values indicated on the data plate.
Do not use extension leads. Do not pull the
power supply cable. Do not use multiple
plug adaptors if the appliance is fitted with a
plug. For appliances with fitted plug, if the
plug is not suitable for you socket outlet,
contact a qualified technician.
The dryer must not be installed outdoors,
even if the space is sheltered.
Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire
and plug must be within reach.
The power cord must not be bent or
squashed.
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 checked. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by service agent .
