!Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.

!Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.

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, use a wooden block to

support it while adjusting the two front legs up or down, until your dryer is level.

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.
