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.

The dryer should be installed in an ambient room temperature of between 20 to 23˚C for optimum performance. But will function if the room is between 14 and 30˚C.

Minimum gap 10mm

the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation. The appliance must be installed with the rear surface placed against a wall.

!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.

!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.

Remove the existing hose from position shown in picture A.

Then fit a suitable length of hose to position shown in picture B.

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

Levelling your dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation. When you have installed your dryer in its final location check that it is level first side to side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, adjust the two front legs up or down, until your dryer is level.

!WARNING: Before you use your dryer ensure that it has been in an upright position for at least 6 hours.
