IMPORTANT

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

INSTALLATION

Position the tumble dryer so that the plug remains accessible after installation. Do not block the vent at
the front or base of the dryer, as this will impair the working of the machine. This appliance must not be
installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to that of the
tumble dryer.

DRAINAGE OPTIONS

Your new tumble dryer is fitted with an internal drain pump, which gives you the option of being able to
drain condensed water to its water bottle, or to your household waste pipe. Connecting your dryer to a
household waste pipe will mean you will not need to periodically empty the water bottle. As supplied,
the drier will drain the water to its bottle. If you wish to convert the dryer so that its water is diverted to a
household waste pipe, follow the simple instructions below:−
1/ Pull the drain hose from the valve at the top of the unit.
2/ Fit the drain hose into your household waste pipe, ensuring a gap between the end of the hose and
any water in the waste pipe.

To return your drier back to taking the condensed water to the water
bottle, simply fit the drain hose back to the valve at the
top of your drier.
If the drain hose is not long enough to reach your waste pipe,
a drain extension kit can obtained from your retailer
(part number 4213 089 8778).

The illustration shows the minimum space required by the dryer and the
position of the waste−pipe within this space and behind the dryer.
If a trap is fitted it must not obstruct the air inlet at the back of the dryer.
The waste pipe can be positioned on either side of the dryer.
If the waste pipe is used by the dryer and a washing machine then its
diameter must be large enough to contain both hoses − 1.5" bore
(38mm) minimum.

FINAL INSTALLATION

Push the filter into its operating position as shown in
the diagram. If you wish to change the side on
which your door opens, see the instructions on the
back page.
Remove any dust by wiping the drum and door with
a damp cloth. Any initial smell of burning will be
caused by dust on the heater and will quickly
disappear.
