Levelling the tumble dryer

The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to operate correctly.

•	The socket must be able to withstand the machine’s ma-
ximum power output as indicated on the Rating plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indicated
on the Rating plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
•	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.

!If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock hazard.

!The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized 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.

After installing the tumble dryer in its permanent position, make sure it is level; check its side-to-side levelling first, followed by front-to- back.

If the tumble dryer is not perfectly level, use a wooden block to support it while you adjust the two front feet, up or down as necessary.

Before you start your dryer

Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.
