ξWhen drying is finished, immediately take the laundry out of the drum so that it won't crease.

Positioning and Installation

Your drying machine can be placed in any room with adequate ventilation.

Choosing the Right Place

A - Venting - type Dryer

The most suitable place is a room with a window or with an air-conditioning fan, which is mounted into air-duct or guided out in the open (Figure 1).

In closed, smaller rooms without adequate ventilation there is too much moisture in the air, drying time is increased and so is energy consumption.

If during the drying procedure there isn't adequate ventilation in the room, we recommend you direct moist air out in the open by means of vent pipe (Fig. 2).

B - Condenser - type Dryer

Do not install the condenser dryer into the room where a danger of freezing can occur. Freezing of water in the condensed water drawer and the pump can damage the appliance.

Positioning

This dryer is a self standing appliance and can stand alone, or it can be placed either together with a washing machine or in the kitchen as a kitchen unit.

Undo the nuts. Rotate the feet to level the machine (fig. 3).

Lock the nuts (fig. 3a).

ξDo not remove the adjustable feet. The machine must be placed horizontally.

ξSome models of tumble dryers are supplied with vacuum leg braces, enabling the appliance to be placed on top of a washing machine, without hazard of falling or tripping during the operation of either appliance.

ξDo not put the dryer on the thicker rug thus preventing the possibility of air circulation.

Moist Air Outlet

A – Vent dryer

There are two openings for venting out humid air, which are situated at the bottom left-hand rear side part of the dryer. Depending on the position of the machine, please, close down one of the openings with the front cover, which has already been fastened on it, or attached to the drum (Fig 4).

Fix the cover by inserting a coin into the slash turning it clockwise. It can be removed by turning in the opposite direction.

If during the drying cycle the airing is not good enough, the air-vent tube can be inserted (screwed) into the hole. The distance between the dryer and venting opening (airduct or window) must not exceed two meters, otherwise condense can accumulate in the tube, (Fig 5,6).

B – Condenser - type Dryer

Humidity from the laundry in the condenser dryer is extracted into the air cooler and accumulated in the drainage container or conducted directly into the moist air outlet. After every drying the condensed water drawer should be emptied, of which you are reminded by the control lamp which is on when the container is full. The air cooler should be cleaned in time (see the chapter Maintenance and Cleaning)

Channelling the condenser tube to the drain outlet

Take off the condensed water drawer tube from the rear side of the dryer and by fitting an elbow on it channel the tube into the drain outlet. Height of the drain must not exceed 800 mm.

The wiring should withstand maximum load. Electric connection and earthing should be carried out in accordance with current standards and regulations.

IMPORTANT

In the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

ξThe appliance should be placed in the position, where the plug is within reach.
