Hints for test institutes
Parameters possible to checked by the Test Institutes:
•Energy consumption (corrected with final humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton cycle with nominal load.
•Energy consumption (corrected with final humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton cycle with half load.
•Final humidity (during Cupboard dry cotton, Iron dry cotton and Cupboard dry Easy care)
•Condensation efficiency (corrected with final humidity) during cupboard dry
cotton cycle with nominal and half load
All the cycles have to be checked in accordance with IEC 61121 (Tumble dryers for household use – Methods for measuring the performance).
Installation
Appliance positioning
•It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
•The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.
•Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.
•To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface.
•Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.
•The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.
