Where to install the tumble dryer
Install the dryer far from gas
ranges, stoves, radiators or
hobs, as flames may damage it.
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. Make sure the air inlets on
the rear panel are not blocked or obstructed.
• You should also make sure that the room in which the
tumble dryer is installed is not damp, and that it is
adequately ventilated.
We do not recommend that the dryer be installed in a
cupboard because dangerous levels of heat can build up.
The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door,
a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side
to that of the tumble dryer in such a way that a full opening
of the tumble dryer door is restricted.

Ventilation
This appliance gently dries laundry by taking in cold, clean and
relatively dry air, heating it and passing it through the fabric.
To facilitate the drying process, damp air is expelled at the
rear, through a ventilation hose. When the dryer is in use, there
has to be adequate ventilation to avoid a back flow of gases
into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including
open fires.
Mobile ventilation system
When using the tumble dryer with the mobile ventilation
system, a ventilation hose must be connected. The hose
should be securely fastened to the ventilation hole at the rear of
the appliance (see Description of the tumble dryer). We
recommend the hose is connected to an outlet near the tumble
dryer, if possible. If it cannot be installed in a permanent spot,
the tumble dryer will still function perfectly well if the ventilation
hose is passed through a partially-opened window.
Make sure you do not point the ventilation hose towards the
air inlet, which is located on the rear of the appliance.
The ventilation hose should not exceed a maximum length of
2.4 metres; it should also be shaken frequently to remove any
fluff, dust or water deposits inside it. Make sure you do not
crush the hose.
Fixed ventilation system
We recommend the ventilation hose is connected to a
ventilation system for windows or doors, available from the
retailer which originally sold you the appliance or from your
local spare parts stockist.
Wall ventilation hole
1. Leave an opening in the wall
B
downwards, so that the flow of air coming out is not
impeded.
Areas A and B should be checked frequently, to prevent the
accumulation of fluff or debris, particularly if the tumble dryer
is used very often. The hose adaptor must be fitted
correctly, in order to prevent damp air from coming back
into the room.
Window ventilation hole
There should be no cuts, kinks or U-shaped bends in the
hose, as these could impede ventilation or trap
condensation.
Ventilation through an open window
Make sure that the tumble dryer is adequately ventilated,
and that the end of the ventilation hose is not pointing
towards the air inlet pipe on the rear of the appliance.
The ventilation hose must always be fitted to ensure
optimum performance.
Make sure that the ventilation hose and the air inlet vents
are not obstructed or blocked.
Do not let the tumble dryer recirculate exhaust air.
Improper use of the tumble dryer may result in fire hazards.
The air emitted by the tumble dryer must not be expelled in
the same duct as used for the fumes produced by different
appliances which burn gas or other fuels.
Do not discharge the 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.

installation site.
2. Make the hose as short and
straight as possible, in order to
prevent any moisture from
condensing and leaking back
into the appliance.
A
3. The hole in the wall must
also be straight and pointing
The ventilation hole should be
directly behind the dryer in
order to keep the hose as short
as possible.
Make sure you do not push
the tumble dryer too far
backwards, as this could lead
to the ventilation hose being
crushed, bent or even
disconnected.
The end of the hose must be
facing downwards, in order to
prevent the hot, damp air from
forming condensation in the
room or the tumble dryer.

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 machines
maximum power output as indicated on the data 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).
The socket must be compatible with the machines plug. If
not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.
Avoid using any extension cord or multiple socket outlet.
The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces,
even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this
appliance to rain and thunderstorms.
Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and
plug must be at hand.
The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.
If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it
must be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it
can be plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.
The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced
with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then
be installed by an authorised technician only (see
Assistance). New or longer electric cords are supplied by
authorised dealers at a supplementary cost.
Ensure that any portable outlet or extension lead is
positioned so that it is not subjected to any splashing or
ingress of moistures.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure
to observe these instructions.
When in doubt about the above indications, contact a
qualified electrician.
CAUTION: If this appliance is supplied from an
extension cord or portable electrical outlet device, the
extension cord set or electrical portable outlet device
must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing
or contact with moisture.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Levelling the tumble dryer
If the tumble dryer is not
perfectly level, use a wooden
block to support it while you
adjust the two front feet, up or
down as necessary.
Before you start your dryer
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.
AUS
The tumble dryer should be installed level in order to
operate correctly.
After installing the tumble dryer
in its permanent position, make
sure it is level; check its side-toside levelling first, followed by
front-to-back.

4. Load the machine and make sure that the items are not in the way of the door seal. Close the door.
5. Choose a drying programme by checking the Programmes table (see Programmes) as well as the indications for each type of
fabric (see Laundry). - set temperature with the Acrylics or Cotton Synthetics button; - select a programme or drying time by
rotating the Programme and Drying time knob clockwise.
6. Press the START button to begin.
During the drying programme, you can check on your laundry and take out the items that are dry while the others continue drying.
When you close the door again, press START in order to resume drying
7. About 10 minutes before the programme is completed, it enters the final COOL TUMBLE phase (fabrics are cooled), which
should always be allowed to complete.
