Installation
Where to put your dryer
• Place your dryer at a distance
from gas ranges, stoves,
heaters, or cooktops because
flames can damage the
appliance.
If you are going to install the
appliance under a work counter,
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 plate (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.
Changing the plug
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with
the following.
! 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.
Before you start using your dryer
Once you’ve installed your dryer and before you use it, clean
the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have
accumulated during transportation.
