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).
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.
●If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15mm space between the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. 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.
!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.
!If using the dryer in a small or cold room some condensation could be experienced.
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.
!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.
!Do not use extension cords.
!The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
!The power cord supplied 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.
!If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.
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.
