Installation
Where to put your dryer
GB • Place your dryer at a distance |
|
| |
from gas ranges, stoves, | 10 mm |
| |
heaters, or cooktops because |
| ||
flames can damage the |
| ||
appliance. |
|
| |
If you are going to install the |
|
| |
appliance under a work counter, | 15 mm | 15 mm | |
be sure to leave a 10 mm | |||
|
| ||
space between the top and any |
|
| |
other objects on or above the |
|
| |
machine and a 15 mm 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 will 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 the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to drain the condensed water directly without using the waterbottle. In which case it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at the end of each cycle.If the Dryer is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine the same drainage can be used. Just unlink the tube indicated in figure A and connect it to the drainage.
If the drainage is further away than the length of the tube it is possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter and the necessary length in order to reach the drainage. To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as indicated in figure B inserting it in the same place.
The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer.
Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that the drain tube is not bent or contorted.

Electrical connection
Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the electrical socket:
•Ensure your Hands are dry.
•The socket must be grounded.
•The socket must be able to sustain the machine’s 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 dryer’s 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 exposed to rain or storms. Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must
be within reach.
The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug and with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover.
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.
