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.

Minimum gap 10mm		●	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
	Minimum gaps
	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. 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.

Door Reversal Instructions

Hinge Door catch

Door latch

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).

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.

Remove the existing clip and hose from position shown (see diagram).

Fit a suitable length of hose to the new location shown (see diagram) and refit clip.

!Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when the dryer is in its final location.

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.
