Where to put your dryer
The dryer should be installed in an ambient room temperature of between 20 to 23°C for optimum performance. But will function if the room is between 14 and 30°C. If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15 mm space between the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation.
The appliance must be installed with the rear surface placed against a wall.
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 will be experienced.
Water Drain
If the machine is positioned close to a drain it is possible to drain the condensed water directly without using the waterbottle. In which case it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at the end of each cycle. If the Dryer is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine the same drainage can be used. Just remove the tube indicated in figure A and connect it to the drainage. If the drainage is further away than the length of the tube it is possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter and the necessary length in order to reach the drain. To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as indicated in figure B inserting it in the same place.
The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of the Dryer. Once the Dryer has been installed please assure that the drain tube is not bent or kinked.

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.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the following:
Make sure your hands are dry.
The socket must have an earth
connection.
The socket must be able to withstand the
machine’s maximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see Description of the tumble dryer)
The power supply voltage must fall within
the values indicated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
Do not use extension leads. Do not pull the
power supply cable. Do not use multiple plug adaptors if the appliance is fitted with a plug. For appliances with fitted plug, if the plug is not suitable for you socket outlet, contact a qualified technician.
The dryer must not be installed outdoors,
even if the space is sheltered.
Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire
and plug must be within reach.

If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.
Levelling the tumble 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, adjust the two legs up or down until your dryer is level.

Warnings
GB
! This 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 appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• 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.
• 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.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
•Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
• The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake at the front of the dryer should never be obstructed (see Installation).
• 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.
Do not use the dryer unless the filter,
• Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry for
• Do not load items that are dripping wet.
• Carefully check all instructions on clothing
• Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high

temperatures.
• Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside.
• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).
• Empty the Water Container after each use (see Maintenance).
• Clean the Heat Pump filter unit at regular intervals (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 withhair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. 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 such as
lighters and matches.
GB
! 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.
Save energy and respect the environment
• Wring out all 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).
