IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.
WARNING! - Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline, trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.
3.Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, other flammable or explosive substances as they give o vapors that could ignite or explode.
4.Instructions for use are available on our website at www.askousa.com.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
DRYER PLACEMENT
The dryer can be either free standing or installed onto a washing machine.
The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a very small room, as the drying process may be longer due to limited amount of available air.
Do not place the dryer in a room where temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine may not operate correctly at such low temperatures, or freeze, which in turn can result in damage to the machine.
Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C.
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened.
As this is an evacuation dryer, it does not have a condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative purpose and it fixed; it is not intended for opening. If excessive force is applied, the handle may break.
Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).
At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation, observe the clearance from the wall as shown in Fig.
Free-standing appliance
The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing machine.
If the friction between the dryer feet and the floor is not su cient, the dryer may move during operation. To prevent the dryer from sliding around, use a non-slip support or pad.

2 3
Side openings are covered with two caps.
The machine comes supplied with an air exhaust hose (3) and two clamps (2).
Installation
Slip the exhaust hose (3) over the connection fitting
(1) and fasten it with a clamp (2).
Fitting the air exhaust hose to another opening
Instead of on the rear opening, the air exhaust hose can be fitted on one of the side openings.
•Move the connection fitting from the rear opening
(1) to the side opening. Then, connect the air exhaust hose and secure it with a clamp (2).
32 1
•Use a cap to close the opening on the back of the dryer.
14 |
Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.com |
Connecting the air exhaust hose to a ventilation duct
The air exhaust hose should be routed in shortest and straightest possible way to the ventilation system opening (air evacuation duct). Use a clamp to attach the air exhaust hose to the ventilation opening. If the air exhaust hose is too long, cut it to length. The distance between the dryer and the air evacuation opening (ventilation opening, window) may not exceed 3 metres. Otherwise, moisture could accumulate in the air exhaust hose. All elbows should be at an angle that is equal to or smaller than 90°.
Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used for appliances or devices that use natural gas or other fuels for their operation.
Selecting the room
Place the appliance in a thoroughly ventilated room with a window or ventilation fan. If possible, connect the air exhaust hose so that it has no inclination, upwards (A) or downwards (C), but rather straight
(B).
A
B
C
Extra equipment
If the air exhaust hose is connected to an opening in the wall, influx of cool air may be prevented by installing a ventilation grille.
If there is only one ventilation opening in the room, an air lock should be installed.
Air lock
This extra equipment can be purchased from your seller.
Please avoid:
•excessively long ventilation systems,
•multiple elbows or turns of the air exhaust hose,
•sharp elbows or turns of the air exhaust hose, All three may reduce the ventilation system e ciency, extend the drying time, and increase power consumption.
Risk of Fire.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust to the outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
