Installation

Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer

to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move, and, should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the dryer works.

! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works.

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 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. Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

Make sure you put your dryer in an environment

•

that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout.

Ventilation

This Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out through a vent tube behind the dryer. When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid a back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is used in conjunction with Mobile venting. The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer

Dryer Description).

connect the tube to a permanent vent close to the dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the tube passing through a partly-opened window.

If possible, it is always best to

(see

TD4001 Issue 1

! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward

the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.

! The vent tube should not exceed 2,4 m in length, and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff, lint, and water by shaking it out frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not squashed.

Permanent venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer:

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of dryer’s intended position.

2. Keep the tube as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture from backing up into the dryer.

3. Similarly, the duct in the wall should slope downwards towards the outside.

Window mounting

1. With a stacked dryer the hole in the window should ideally be made below the vent.

2. The tube should be kept as short as possible.

Depending upon how often you use your dryer, it is essential that areas A and B are checked periodically to remove lint or debris. The v ent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from being emitted back into the room.

The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the

tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is squashed or bent.

! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube and trap condensation.

Open window venting

The end of the tube should be directed downwards to prevent warm and moist air from condensing in the room or in the dryer.

Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and

that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards the air intake duct.

The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum

performance.

Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents

are not obstructed or blocked.

The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.

Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.

Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is

used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.

Electrical connection

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the electrical socket:

• The socket must be grounded.

• The socket must be able to sustain the machine’s

maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label

(see Dryer Description).

• Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the rating label

• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s

plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

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.

Do not use extension cords

The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

! The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians.

! Ensure that any portable outlet or extension lead is

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.
