Installation
Where to put your dryer
●Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.
Electrical connections
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the the electrical socket:
● | Ensure your hands are dry. |
● | The socket must be grounded. |
Minimum gap 10mm | ●If you are going to install the |
| appliance under a work |

Minimum gaps | top and any other objects |
15mm | on or above the machine and |
| |
| a 15mm space between the |
| sides and lateral furnishings |
| or walls. |
| |
This is to ensure proper air circulation. | |
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.
