Installation

Where to put your dryer
GB
• Place your dryer at a
distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cooktops
because flames can damage
the appliance. The dryer
should be installed in an
ambient room temperature
of between 20 to 23°C
for optimum performance.
But will function if the room is between 14 and
30°C. If you are going to install the appliance
under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm
space between the top and any other objects
on or above the machine and a 15 mm space
between the sides and lateral furnishings or
walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.
The appliance must be installed with the rear
surface placed against a wall.

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 will 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.
Fig. A
Water Drain
If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to drain the
condensed water directly without using the waterbottle. In which
case it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at the end
of each cycle. If the Dryer is positioned above or close to a Washing
Machine the same drainage can be used. Just remove unlink the
tube indicated in figure A and connect it to the drainage. If the
drainage is further away than the length of the tube it is possible to
buy and connect a tube of the same diameter and the necessary
length in order to reach the drainage. To install the new tube just
2
15 mm
15 mm
Fig. B
substitute the existing one as indicated in figure B inserting it in the
same place.
! The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer.
! Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that the drain
tube is not bent or kinked.

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.
! 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
must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
(see Assistance). New or longer elec-
tric cords are supplied by authorised
dealers at a supplementary cost.
! 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.

Preliminary information

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
