EXIGENCES D’EMPLACEMENT

On a besoin de :

■ Un emplacement permettant une évacuation appropriée.

Voir “Exigences concernant l’évacuation”.

■ Un circuit séparé de 30 ampères.

■ Si on utilise un cordon d’alimentation, une prise électrique

avec liaison à la terre située à moins de 610 mm (2 ft) de l’un des côtés du sèche-linge. Voir “Spécications électriques”.

■ Un plancher robuste capable de supporter le poids du sèche-

linge (sèche-linge et charge) de 90,7 kg (200 lb). Il faut aussi prendre en compte le poids combiné d’un appareil ménager voisin.

■ Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de 25 mm

(1") sous l’ensemble du sèche-linge. Si la pente est supérieure à 25 mm (1"), installer un ensemble de pieds d’extension pour sèche-linge, pièce n° 279810. Si le sèche-linge n’est pas d’aplomb, le linge peut ne pas culbuter convenablement, et les programmes automatiques commandés par détecteur peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement.

Ne pas faire fonctionner le sèche-linge à une température inférieure à 7°C (45°F). A des températures inférieures, le sèche-linge risque de ne plus s’arrêter à la n d’un programme automatique. Les temps de séchage risquent alors d’augmenter.

Le sèche-linge ne doit pas être installé ou remisé dans un endroit où il sera exposé à l’eau et/ou aux intempéries.

Vérier les règlements locaux. Certains codes limitent ou n’autorisent pas l’installation des sèche-linge dans un garage, un placard ou une chambre à coucher. Communiquer avec l’inspecteur des bâtiments local.

Espacements d’installation :

L’emplacement doit être assez grand pour permettre d’ouvrir complètement la porte du sèche-linge.
