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.
! 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.

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' (1m) from the
bottom of the dryer.
Remove the existing hose from

Then fit a suitable length of hose to
position shown in picture B.
! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when
the dryer is in its final location.
Levelling your dryer
The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.
When you have installed your
dryer in its final location check
that it is level first side to side,
then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, adjust
the two front legs up or down,
until your dryer is level.
! WARNING: Before you use your dryer ensure that
it has been in an upright position for at least 6 hours.
