Installation

Installation

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your

washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round the appliance. Do not obstruct the front

ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed

on a firm, level surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with

the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deeppile

carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which would interfere
with the operation of the appliance.

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance
must therefore not be installed on floors which are not resistant to high temperatures.
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and
higher than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

WARNING!

Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

17

WARNING!

The appliance must not be installed behind the lockable door, a sliding door or a door with
a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

Removing transport safety packaging

CAUTION!

Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed.

1. Open loading door

2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside ma­chine on top of drum.

Installation

18

3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene pad­ding from the machine.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in
the left and right-hand side. Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by
pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and
pushing it firmly back into place. The unused vents should now be sealed with the special
snap covers provided.

If the hose is long and the room temperature low,
the moisture might condense to water inside the
hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or
flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable
to drill a small hole (via. 3 mm) in the lowest point
of the hose and to place a small container below
it. (See picture, point B).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to
the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s
overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains
no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if
you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a
good local builder’s merchant should be able to
supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

Installation

WARNING!

It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for
example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is
essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible
hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the
kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen. In
order to prevent the appliance from overheating,
it is important that the steam exhaust is unob­structed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose
fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be en­sured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h. If
the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If
the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying
times and higher energy consumption. If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut­outs with which the machine is fitted may operate. When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.

Electrical connection

Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses required should be taken from the
rating plate. The rating plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product description”
chapter).
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations.

WARNING!
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure
to comply with the above safety precautions.
Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried
out by our Service Centre.

19

The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the
fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used.

terminal «N» or coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal marked «L» or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp

WARNING!
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

WARNING!
The plug must be accessible after installing the machine.

Permanent connection

In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch
between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm
between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance
with the current electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. This operation
must be carried out by qualified personnel. Please contact the nearest Service Centre.

Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic com­ponents are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging
materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.

WARNING!

When disposing of old appliances, remove the mains cable and dispose of together with
the plug. Remove the door hook and ensure it is no longer lockable to prevent young
children being trapped inside.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed

when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you:

– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer unobstructed;
– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;
– clean the filter after each drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending on

spinning speed – for 7 kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS STORAGE DRY pro­gramme.
