Where to install the tumble dryer
AUS |
• Install the dryer far from gas |

|
ranges, stoves, radiators or |

|
|
10 m |
|
|
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.

installation site. |
|
2. Make the hose as short and |
|
straight as possible, in order to |
|
prevent any moisture from |
|
condensing and leaking back |
A |
into the appliance. |
3. The hole in the wall must |
|
|
also be straight and pointing |
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
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.
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
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.
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.

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 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 machine’s 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
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-to- side levelling first, followed by front-to-back.
If the tumble dryer is not
perfectly level, use a wooden AUS 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.
