Installation

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the 100

mm diameter flexible hose supplied with

the appliance; ending either temporarily

at an open window, or permanently at a

fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior

wall or window. The tumble dryer must

be installed in a clean place, where dirt

does not build up. Make sure there are

Important:

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand side. Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut

(A)from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided.

no obstructing items or material near the

air-intake louvres provided at the back

(e.g. paper, rags etc.). 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

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it.(See picture, point B).
