Where to put your dryer

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the
the electrical socket:

●

The socket must be grounded.

●

The socket must be able to sustain the machines
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label
(see Dryer Description).

●

Power voltage must be within the values indicated on
the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●

The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug.
Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is
sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is exposed to rain or
storms.
! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must be
within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363 plug and a 13

amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only
those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to
BS1362.

Moulded plug

! The plug must not be used without
the fuse cover in place.
If a replacement fuse holder/cover is
required, it must be of the same
colour coding or wording as shown
on the base of the plug.
Replacements are available from
authorised dealers.

●

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.

●

If you are going to install the appliance under a work
counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space between the
top and any other objects on or above the machine
and a 15mm space between the sides and lateral
furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.
Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.

Ventilation

When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation. Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout.
Airflow around the dryer is essential to condense the
water produced during the washing, the dryer will not
operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.
! If using the dryer in a small or cold room some
condensation could be experienced.

! We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed
behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a
hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

Water drain

If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. Simply remove the top hose from
its top fitting at the rear of the dryer and plumb the hose
provided to the drain.

Changing the plug

The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with the
following:

Green and Yellow
(Earth) wire to terminal
marked ‘E’, symbol ,
or coloured green and
yellow.

Blue (Neutral) wire to
terminal marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.

Cord clamp

13A ASTA approved
fuse to BS1362.

Brown (Live) wire to
terminal marked ‘L’ or
coloured red.

! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type, then the
cut-off plug must be disposed of safely. DO NOT leave it
where it can be inserted into a socket and create a shock
hazard.
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically and
replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted
only by authorised technicians (see Service). New or longer
power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorised
dealers.
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of
these rules not be followed.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified
electrician.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it,
clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could
have accumulated during transport.
