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.

Hinge

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. Simply remove the top hose from its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb the hose provided to the drain.

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:

Green and Yellow

(Earth) wire to terminal

marked ‘E’, symbol

or coloured red.

!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.
