Where to install the tumble dryer
If the dryer is installed below a worktop,
ensure there are 10 mm
between the upper panel
of the dryer and any
objects above it, and 15
mm between the sides of
the machine and the walls
or furniture units adjacent
to it. This ensures
adequate air circulation.
The appliance must be
installed with the rear surface placed against a
wall.
Ventilation
Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free of humidity
and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air around the
dryer is essential to allow water to condense during drying;
the dryer will not function properly if it is placed in an enclosed
space or inside a cabinet.
Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small or
cold room.
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. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3’ (1 m) from
the bottom of the dryer.
Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A and fit a
suitable length of hose and connect as shown in picture B.
The drain tube has to be below 1 m from the bottom of
the Dryer
Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its nal location.

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.
The power supply voltage must fall within the
values indicated on the data plate.
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.
The power cord must not be bent or
squashed.
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.

Warnings
EN
! 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.
The back of the dryer could become
•
very hot. Never touch it while in use.
• Do not use the dryer unless the fi lter,
watercontainer and condenser are 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 fi bres at high
temperatures.
• Do not turn off the dryer when there are
still warm items inside.
• Clean the fi lter after each use (see
Maintenance).
• Empty the water container after each use
(see Maintenance).
�• Clean the condenser 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 fi re
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 fi re
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 fi re. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-effected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fi re
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 fi rst 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
