Important Information
For your Venting dryer to operate efficiently, you must follow the regular maintenance schedule shown below:
GB
Fluff Filter...
! You MUST clean the fluff filter after EVERY drying cycle.
STEP 1.
Open the door of your dryer.
STEP 4.
Refit the filter, with the curved side towards you.
STEP 2.
Pull out the filter (using the two finger grips).
STEP 5.
Make sure the filter is pushed fully home.
- NEVER run the dryer without the filter in position.
STEP 3.
Open the filter and clean any fluff deposits from the filter mesh.
! Failure to clean the filter after EVERY drying cycle will affect the drying performance of your machine.
-It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more electricity during drying.
!You MUST clean fluff build up around the filter housing and the vent tube periodically, EVERY two or three months:
-Check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and remove it.
-Remove lint that collects around the filter and the outlet vents.

Installation
Where to put your dryer
●Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.
Minimum gap 10mm |
● |
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 |
Minimum gaps |
|
15mm space between the |
15mm |
|
sides and lateral furnishings |
|
|
or walls. This is to ensure |
|
|
proper air circulation. Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.
●Make sure you put your dryer in an environment that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.
! 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.
Ventilation
The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
Mobile venting
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.
The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always best to connect the tube to a permanent
outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the tube passing through a partly-opened window.
!Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.
!The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not squashed.
Permanent venting
GB
In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.
Wall mounting
1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of the dryers proposed position.
2.Keep the tube as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture from backing up into the dryer.
3.Similarly, the duct in the wall should slope downwards towards the outside.
Window mounting
1.With a stacked dryer the hole in the window should ideally be made below the vent.
2.The tube should be kept as short as possible.
Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is essential that areas A and B are checked periodically to remove lint or debris.
The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from being emitted back into the room.
!The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is squashed or bent.
!The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube or trap condensation.

Installation
Open window venting
GB
The end of the tube should be directed downwards, to prevent warm moist air from condensing in the room or in the dryer.
!Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards the air intake duct.
!The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum performance.
!Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents are not obstructed or blocked.
!The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.
!Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.
!Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.
!Do not discharge exhaust air into an extraction system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will affect the way the thermal controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.
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 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.
Levelling your dryer
The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.
When you have installed your dryer in its final location check that it is level first side to side, then front to back.
If the dryer is not level, use a wooden block to support it while adjusting the two front legs up or down, until your dryer is level.
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.

The Display
The Display has three main functions, each with its corresponding button.
GB
Dryness Sensing Levels
After selecting a programme that has a Sensor Dry option, press and release the button until the required dryness sensing level is displayed. If the sensing option is not available with your selected programme, the display will flash and the buzzer will beep three times.
! Some sensing programmes do not have all five dryness level options available.
Dryness levels:
Damp Dry: Dries your items ready to be ironed using a machine or rotary ironer.
Iron Dry: Dries your items ready to be ironed with a hand iron.
Hanger Dry: Dries your clothes ready to be hanged for final drying.
Use this programme if you do not need the items to be fully dry as it uses less energy.
Cupboard Dry: Dries your items ready to be put away.
Extra Dry: Dries your clothes ready to be worn.
Timed Dry
After selecting a programme that has a Timed Dry option, press the button and the Timed Dry icon will light, the display will reduce the selected time each time you press and release this button (see Start and Programmes). Each programme that has a timed option has different times available and the selection of up to 11 drying times will also depend on the heat setting that your have selected.
Each press of the button decreases the drying time.
If you change your mind, press the Sensor Dry button and the sensing level options are available.
If the Timed Dry option is not available the Timed Dry icon will flash and the buzzer will beep three times. The selected time remains displayed after the programme starts and can be changed during the programme if you wish.
Delay Timer
After selecting a programme that has a Delay Timer option, a delay start time can be selected.
Each press of the Delay Timer button |
advances the delay setting in 30 minutes increments from |
0:30 |
|||||||
to |
9:30 |
and then increments from |
10h |
to |
24h |
then |
OFF |
and then after five seconds cancels the |
|
delay. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For delays of 10 hours or more the display counts down the time in hours until 10 hours, then the display shows 9.59 and then continues to count down in minutes.
For delays 9 hours or less the display shows hours and minutes and then counts down in minutes for all of the delay.
After the START/PAUSE button is pressed the delay time can be changed or cancelled. When the delay period finishes the delay icon
is off and the Time to End is displayed.
Time to End
If the delay icon is off the time displayed is the Time to End for the programme running.
When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining. When Automatic programmes are selected the time displayed is an estimate of the time remaining. When the
programme is selected the display shows the time required to dry a full load, after around 10 minutes the controller calculates a better estimate of the cycle time and this is updated during the programme.
The Time to End is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute.
The colons between the hours and minutes in the display flash to show the time is counting down.
The display also shows if there is a problem with your dryer, if this occurs the display will show F followed by a fault code number, the three option lights and the START/PAUSE light will also flash amber (see Troubleshooting).

Cuddly Toy Programme
With this programme you can remove dust easier and wash the cuddly toys more often because the drying time is very much reduced compared to drying in the open air. It is a delicate drying cycle that dries at low temperature and with soft mechanical action to maintain at best the original look and shine of the fur.
Note: For allergy protection, just freeze cuddly toys for 24 hours then wash and dry them. Repeat every 6 weeks. Before drying remove accessories such as clothes, collars or sound boxes and protect plastic eyes with masking tape after drying them with a cloth.
The programme time will vary dependant on the exact make up of the load.
The maximum load should not exceed 2.5kg and no individual item should be greater than 600g.
Heat & Enjoy
This programme helps to heat towels & bathrobes for a warm sensation after a bath or shower. It is also useful for warming clothes before dressing during winter. The cycle heats clothes to 37°C (Body Temperature) and runs at this temperature for a maximum of 4 hours or until you stop the cycle by opening the door.
Maximum load 3kg.
Note: During this programme a icon rotates in the display until the target temperature is reached, at which point the
icon flashes.
Easy Iron Programme
‘Easy Iron’ is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute cool tumble period) which fluffs the fibres of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibres and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! ‘Easy Iron’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
For best results: 1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity. These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric |
Maximum load |
Cotton and Cotton mixtures |
2.5kg |
Synthetics |
2kg |
Denim |
2kg |
2.Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the programme, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away in the closet. Should this not be possible repeat the programme.
The ‘Easy Iron’ effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.
Refresh
! ‘Refresh’ is not a drying programme and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.
●It can be used on any load size but is more effective on smaller loads.
●Do not overload your dryer (see Laundry).
●This is a 20 minute programme that airs your clothes with cool air. Also use to cool warm clothes.

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying.
Wash Care Labels
Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:
May be tumble dried
Do not tumble dry
Tumble dry at high heat setting
Tumble dry at low heat setting
Items not suitable for tumble drying
●Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).
●Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)
●Items which have been dry cleaned
●Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items). These can be cleaned with special
at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.
●Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.
12
Laundry
Special clothing items
Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time.
Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer’s drying instructions on the garment.
Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.
Drying times
The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:
Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:
●Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
● Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but |
GB |
|
different textures and thicknesses may not have |
||
|
||
the same drying time. |
|
●Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry.
●Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry.
●Heat setting.
●Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.
●Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished.
! Do not over-dry your clothes.
All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy.

Warnings and Suggestions
GB
! The appliance has been designed and built according to international safety standards.
These warnings are given for safety reasons and must be followed carefully.
General safety
●This tumble dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
●This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not professional use.
●Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet hands or feet.
●Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
●Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in use. After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that children do not use it as a toy.
●Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dryer.
●The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake vents behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent tube should never be obstructed (see Installation).
●Never direct the vent tube outlet towards the air intake at the back of the machine.
●Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
●Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
●Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
●The back of the dryer could become very hot. Never touch it while in use.
●Do not use the dryer unless the filter is securely in place (see Maintenance).
●Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry) for maximum loads.
●Do not load items that are dripping wet.
●Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see Laundry).
●Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
●Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
●Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.
●Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside.
●Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).
●Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
●Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.
●Always follow electrical standards and requirements (see Installation).
●Always buy original spare parts and accessories (see Service).
To minimise the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
●Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.
●Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.
●Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or those that have been contaminated with hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The cool tumble phase should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.
●Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments including cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers. Ensure these items have been washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
●Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam), or similarly textured rubber like materials. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
●Fabric softener or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless the practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
●Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements eg. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
●Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof covers, polythene or paper.
●Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
●Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters (risk of explosion).
! WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.!
Saving energy and respecting the environment
●Wring out items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.
●Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.
●Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Maintenance and Care
Switching off the electricity |
Check the drum after each cycle |
GB |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.
Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.
Clean the filter after each cycle
The filter is an important part of your dryer:
it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying. Small items could also become trapped in the filter. When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.
The filter is found in front of the dryer trim
(see diagram).
Removing the filter:
1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).
2. Open the filter and clean the lint from the inside.
3.Replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
4.Remove any lint that has built up on the inside of the door and around the door seal.
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.
Cleaning the drum
! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.
A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the dryer performance.
Cleaning
●External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
●Periodically check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and remove it.
●Remove lint that collects around the filter and the outlet vents.
!Do not use solvents or abrasives.
!Your dryer uses special bearing components which do not need lubrication.
!Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety (see Service).

●Faites en sorte d’installer votre sèche-linge dans un environnement qui n’est pas humide et qui est doté d’une bonne circulation d’air dans toute la pièce.
Le sèche linge ne fonctionnera pas efficacement dans un espace clos ou dans un placard.
! Nous vous déconseillons d’installer votre sèche-linge dans un placard. En revanche, le sèche-linge ne doit en aucun cas être placé derrière une porte fermant à clé, une porte coulissante ou une porte montée sur des gonds du côté opposé à la porte de chargement du sèche-linge.
Ventilation
Cet appareil sèche votre linge en aspirant de l’air frais, propre et relativement sec, en le chauffant, et en le distribuant ensuite parmi les vêtements qui sont brassés doucement par la rotation du tambour. Pour une performance optimale, l’air humide est ensuite expulsé à travers un conduit de ventilation situé à l’arrière du sèche-linge. Lorsque le sèche-linge est en marche, une aération adéquate est nécessaire afin d’éviter le retour de gaz dans la pièce, provenant de la combustion d’autres combustibles par des appareils, y compris les feux de cheminée.
Ventilation mobile
Un tuyau de ventilation doit toujours être installé lorsque le sèche-linge est utilisé conjointement avec une Ventilation Mobile. Ce tuyau doit être fixé solidement à l’arrière du sèche-linge (voir la Description du Sèche-linge). Si possible, il vaut toujours mieux connecter ce tuyau à une sortie permanente située près du sèche-linge. Si une installation permanente n’est pas possible, le sèche-linge fonctionnera tout aussi bien en faisant passer le tuyau à travers une fenêtre partiellement ouverte.
!Assurez-vous que l’extrémité du tuyau ne soit pas dirigée vers l’orifice d’entrée d’air à l’arrière du sèchelinge.
!Le tuyau de ventilation ne doit pas dépasser 2,4 mètres de longueur et vous devez faire en sorte d’éviter toute accumulation éventuelle de peluches et d’eau en le secouant fréquemment. Assurez-vous toujours que ce tuyau ne soit pas écrasé.
Ventilation permanente
Conjointement avec le tuyau de ventilation, nous vous recommandons d’utiliser un Kit de Ventilation Mur/Fenêtre, disponible dans le commerce ou chez votre Revendeur de Pièces de Rechange le plus proche.
Montage au mur
1. Laissez une ouverture dans le mur à gauche
l’endroit où sera installé le sèche-linge.
2. Faites en sorte que le tuyau soit aussi court et droit que possible pour éviter que de l’humidité condensée ne revienne dans le sèche-linge.
3. De même, le conduit dans le mur doit être incliné vers le bas vers l’extérieur.
Montage à la fenêtre
1. Avec un sèche-linge superposé, le trou dans la fenêtre doit idéalement être effectué au-dessous de l’orifice de ventilation. 2. Le tuyau doit être aussi court que possible.
En fonction de la fréquence à laquelle vous utilisez votre sèche-linge, il est essentiel que les zones A et B soient vérifiées périodiquement pour retirer les peluches ou les débris. L’adaptateur du tuyau de ventilation doit être installé solidement, ce qui évite ainsi que de l’air humide ne soit ré-émis dans la pièce.
!Le sèche-linge ne doit pas être repoussé à une distance telle que l’adaptateur du tuyau soit arraché ou que le tube soit écrasé ou plié.
!Le tuyau doit être placé à l’écart de l’orifice d’entrée d’air ne doit être ni entaillé, ni crasé, ni plié en forme de ‘U’ afin d’évitér d’obstruer le tuyau et de bloquer la condensation.

Installation
Ventilation par fenêtre ouverte
L’extrémité du tuyau doit être dirigée vers le bas, de manière à éviter que de l’air chaud humide se condense dans la pièce ou dans le sèche-linge.
!Assurez-vous que le sèche-linge soit convenablement ventilé et que l’extrémité du tuyau de ventilation ne soit pas dirigée vers le conduit d’entrée d’air.
!Le tuyau de ventilation doit toujours être installé de manière optimale.
!Assurez-vous que le tuyau de ventilation et les orifices d’entrée d’air ne soient pas obstrués ou bloqués.
!Le sèche-linge ne doit pas recycler de l’air d’évacuation.
!Une mauvaise utilisation d’un sèche-linge peut entraîner un danger d’incendie.
!Ne pas expulser l’air d’évacuation dans un conduit qui est utilisé pour les évacuations des émanations provenant d’autres appareils à combustion de gaz ou d’autres combustibles.
!Ne pas expulser l’air d’évacuation dans un système d’extraction ni dans un conduit équipé d’un ventilateur aspirant. Ceci perturberait la façon dont la régulation thermique fonctionne et pourrait entraîner un danger d’incendie.
Connexions électriques
Assurez-vous des points suivants avant de brancher la fiche de l’appareil dans la prise de courant:
●La prise de courant doit être reliée à la terre.
●La prise de courant doit pouvoir supporter la puissance maximale de la machine, qui est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l’appareil (voir la Description du Sèche-linge).
●La tension électrique doit appartenir à la gamme de valeurs indiquée sur la plaque signalétique de l’appareil (voir la Description du Sèche-linge).
●La prise de courant doit être compatible avec la fiche du sèche-linge. Si ce n’est pas le cas, remplacez la fiche ou la prise de courant.
!Le sèche-linge ne doit pas être utilisé à l’extérieur, même si l’espace en question est abrité. Cela peut être dangereux si l’appareil est exposé à la pluie ou à des orages.
!Une fois installés, le cordon d’alimentation et la fiche du sèche-linge doivent être d’accès facile.
! N’utilisez pas de rallonges.
F
!Le cordon d’alimentation ne doit pas être courbé ou écrasé.
!Le cordon d’alimentation électrique doit être vérifié périodiquement et remplacé par un cordon préparé spécialement pour ce sèche-linge, et installé uniquement par des électriciens agréés (voir Service Après-vente). Des cordons d’alimentation neufs ou plus longs sont fournis par les revendeurs agréés contre un supplément.
!Le fabricant rejète toute responsabilité en cas de non-respect de toutes ou partie de ces règles.
!En cas de doute au sujet des points precedents, consultez un electricien qualfie.
Caler votre sèche-linge
Pour un fonctionnement correct, votre sèche-linge doit être à niveau.
Après avoir installé votre sèche-linge dans son emplacement définitif, veillez à ce qu'il soit bien à niveau tout d'abord latéralement puis devant et derrière.
Si le sèche-linge n'est pas au niveau, utilisez un bloc de bois pour le soutenir pendant que vous ajustez, vers le haut ou vers le bas, les deux pieds et ce, jusqu'à ce que le sèche-linge soit au niveau.
Avant de commencer à utiliser votre sèche-linge
Une fois que vous avez installé votre sèche-linge, et avant de l’utiliser, nettoyez l’intérieur du tambour pour retirer les poussières qui pourraient s’y être accumulées durant le transport.
