sure the drum is empty. Wipe the inside of the Drum before use to
remove any transit dust. Your Dryer does not blow moist air into
the room, avoiding the requirement of a vent hose.

Position the Dryer where air can freely circulate around it, a 15mm
gap each side is recommended.

Stacking Your
Appliance

The door of your Dryer is reversible and can easily be changed
before installation. Exchange diagonally the hinge brackets for
blanking plugs. Exchange door latch and catch with their
opposing blanking plates. See diagram above.

Support the weight of the door when removing hinges.

Dryers can be to permanently stack on top of Washing machines,
saving valuable floor space. The Dryer should not be
located next to a hob, cooker, heater or high level grill, as heat
from these appliances could cause damage. When ordering you
must state the product numbers of the Washing machine and
Tumble Dryer (Tel. No. 0541 530 530).

Note: Separate mains plugs and sockets must be used for each
appliance. Do not use 2-way adaptors or extension leads.

As the dryer is heavy assistance should be obtained when
stacking the dryer.
