INSTALLATION

The tumble dryer is fully compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen units and complies with
stringent EEC regulations.

Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approx 2.4m (8ft). We strongly
recommend that this is vented through the wall with the attachment provided. The position of the
hole (100mm diameter) for the vent directly behind the tumble dryer is shown in the diagram.

If the through the wall vent is to be positioned other than behind the dryer, the vent hose should be
positioned at floor level and through adjacent side panel to a relevant position. The plinth must be
cut−out to accommodate the air vent grill at the bottom front of the tumble dryer.

IMPORTANT

The air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way as
this will cause the dryer to overheat.

The dryer should not be placed directly next to ovens or cookers, as the performance of the
dryer may be affected.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: We strongly recommend that any electrical work is carried out
by a qualified person complying with the IEE 17

IMPORTANT

Please remember that the tumble dryer must be capable of being switched off,

addition of the electrical regulations.
