the water can be plumbed into this
drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. The height of
the drain must be less than 1m from the
bottom of the dryer. Remove the existing
hose from the dryer and connect it to
the drain (if required add an additional
length of hose).

The socket must be grounded. The power supply cord should be
checked periodically and, if required, replaced by a cord specially
prepared for this dryer.

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.
