Installation

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 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

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 partiallyopened 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 to the left of the tumble dryer 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.

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 ma-

ximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).

• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indica-

ted on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).

• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s plug.

Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! Do not use extension cords. ! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is

sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.

! Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must be

within reach.

! The power cord must not be bent or squashed. ! The power cord is supplied fitted with a BS1363 plug and with

a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If it is necessary to fit a replacement fuse, it must be a 13 Amp ASTA approved to BS1362 type. WARNING: The plug must not be used without a fuse cover. If a replacement fuse holder/cover is required, it must be of the same colour coding or wording as shown on the base of the plug. Replacements are available from authorised dealers.

Moulded plug

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-toback.

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.

Changing the plug

The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance with the following.

Green and Yellow (Earth) wire to terminal marked “E”, symbol x, or coloured green and yellow.

Blue (Neutral) wire to terminal marked ”N” or coloured black.

GREEN & YELLOW

BROWN

BLUE

CROSS-BAR CORD GRIP

13A ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362.

Brown (live) wire to teminal marked “L” or coloured red.

! 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.

! The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced

by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorized technicians (see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorized 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.

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.

How to carry out a drying cycle

Starting a drying programme

1. Plug the dryer into the power supply socket.

2. Select a suitable drying programme for the type of laundry (see Laundry).

3. Open the door, ensure that the filter is clean and securely placed.

4. Load the machine, making sure that no piece of laundry gets between the door and the door seal. Close the door.

5. Turn the “Drying time selector” knob until the indicator is pointing towards the most suitable drying time for the type of fabric in

that load. Use the table to check the relationship between fabric type and load capacity (see Drying settings), and make sure you are familiar with the instructions provided for each type of fabric (see Laundry). Do not attempt to turn the knob anticlockwise.

6. If necessary, set the temperature using the HIGH HEAT button.

7. Press the START button to start the drying cycle.

Laundry can be checked while the drying programme runs and any garments already dry can be removed, while drying continues for the remaining items. After closing the door, press the START button to resume machine operation.

8. The final COOL TUMBLE phase (i.e. the fabrics are cooled) activates during the last few minutes of the drying programme; always allow this phase to terminate.

9. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it.

10. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.
