Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place!
Clean the inside of the dryer cabinet regularly.
WARNING!
Never stop a dryer cabinet before the program is completed unless you immediately remove all the laundry and spread it out so that the heat can disappear.
Electrical installation, if required, should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The dryer cabinet should only be used for drying as described in these instructions.
The dryer cabinet must be installed or stored indoors.
Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified professional.
Damaged mains cables must only be replaced by a qualified electrician.
Sufficient ventilation is required to prevent smoke from open fires or fumes from equipment burning other fuels being sucked into the room when the dryer cabinet is running.
Items that are stained with e.g. cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain remover, turpentine, wax and wax remover should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before they go in the dryer cabinet.
Items such as foam rubber, latex, plastic, rubber-coated items and clothes and foam-rubber-filled cushions must not be dried in the dryer cabinet.
Fabric softener or similar products should be used as per the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
The dryer cabinet is not designed to be used by persons (or children) that are physically or mentally handicapped or lack experience and knowledge. Such persons must receive instruction in how to use the dryer cabinet from the person responsible for their safety.
Children must be watched to ensure they do not play with the dryer cabinet.
Keep the area around the evacuation duct free from dust and dirt.

Safety

The machine must not be used for drying items that have been dry-cleaned at home or fabrics that may contain residues of flammable liquids.
The dryer cabinet is protected by an overheating cut out. This shuts off the machine if the temperature gets too high.

Interrupting a program

You can stop a drying program by:
Open the door. The dryer cabinet will then stop automatically.
Press the main power switch.
Press the Stop button for three seconds.
When you want to resume drying, simply close the door and press the Startbutton.
The drying result may be too damp or too dry if the program is stopped and restarted.

Packing material

Sort waste materials in accordance with local guidelines.

Recycling

The dryer cabinet is manufactured and labelled for recycling. In order to prevent personal injury the dryer cabinet must be made inoperable after deciding to take it out of service. Contact your local authority for information about where and how you can recycle it.

Safety instructions
To minimize the risk of fire in a dryer cabinet, the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a dryer cabinet. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a dryer cabinet. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a dryer cabinet they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent ­this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ’cool down’ cycle of dryer cabinet should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the dryer cabinet or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a dryer cabinet. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike materials should not be dried in a dryer cabinet on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a dryer cabinet to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a dryer cabinet. Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a dryer cabinet.
There has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer cabinet.
The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels
CAUTION!
Air from the dryer cabinet must not be fed through ducts used for equipment that burns gas or other fuels.

Assembly area

If the dryer cabinet is to be connected to the exhaust air ventilation this must be available in the premises.
An earthed power outlet must be available within 2 m of the top section of the dryer cabinet. The dryer cabinet has a 2 m long earthed cable with plug connected at the top. The power outlet must be positioned so that an extension cord is not necessary.
The power socket should be simple to reach once the dryer cabinet has been installed. Observe this even when the dryer cabinet is installed in an in-built cabinet or the like. See the section ‘Electrical installation’.
The floor where the cabinet is to be positioned must support a weight of about 60 kg.
The floor must be flat with a drop of max 2,5 cm below the cabinet.
The dryer cabinet is only intended for placement indoors with a temperature over 0 °C.
The dryer cabinet must not be placed in environments where high-pressure washers are used for cleaning.

Electrical requirement

User liability

It is the responsibility of the user to contact a qualified electrician if a power outlet as described in this manual is not available.
WARNING!
Connect to a power outlet with a protective earth.
Do not remove the earth connection.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.

Electrical connection

The dryer cabinet is to be connected to 220-240V, 1-Phase, 50-60Hz and the protective power outlet. The power outlet must be installed and earthed according to applicable regulations.
The dryer cabinet is delivered ready for connection with a 2 m long cable with earthed plug.
Do not change the cable and plug supplied with the dryer cabinet. If the plug does not correspond with the power outlet this must be rectified by a qualified electrician.
The dryer cabinet must be connected using the supplied connection cable and must not be permanently connected!
The power outlet must be positioned so that the plug can be removed when necessary.
The connection cable is drawn out at the rear of the dryer cabinet on delivery from the factory. If necessary the connection cable can be drawn out of the rear hole in the top cover.
Check that the connection current corresponds with the data on the type plate and that the main circuit is earthed correctly according to applicable standards. We recommend that the main circuit is fitted with a residual current device.
The connection is to make up its own fuse group.
The manufacturer relinquishes all responsibility if the electrical connection is not made according to the method set out in these operating instructions.
If this appliance is supplied from a cord extensions set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension ser or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

Connect to the ventilation

1.

Evacuation of the moist air can be performed in two ways:

Waste air from the dryer cabinet is led to an evacuation duct or an outlet in the wall using the vent hose supplied. Recommended!
Ventilation out into the room where the dryer cabinet is positioned.

Ventilation out into the room where the dryer cabinet is positioned

Preferably open the door or window in the room for the best ventilation.
When the dryer cabinet is built-in, the supplied ventilation hose (only some markets) is replaced with a permanent ventilation pipe with a diameter of 100 mm.
The distance between the top edge of the ventilation pipe and the ceiling must not be less than 300 mm.
The ventilation pipe must reach outside of the in-built cabinet.
Ensure a good air supply to the dryer cabinet’s air intake.
The ventilation holes in the dryer cabinet must not be blocked.
