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.
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 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.
! 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.
Door Reversal Instructions
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. Simply remove the top hose
from its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb
the hose provided to the drain.
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.
! Do not use extension cords.
! 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.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug and a 13
amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only
those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to
BS1362.
Moulded plug
! The plug must not be used without
the fuse cover in place.
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 supply cord 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.
