Installation

Where to install the tumble dryer

EN	• 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.

Ventilation

This appliance gently dries laundry by taking in COOL, 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.

! We do not recommend that the dryer is 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.

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

B1. 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

Ainto 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 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.

!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.

!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 denies any responsibility should any of these rules not be followed.

!If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.

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 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	EN
drum before operating it and remove any dirt accumulated
during transportation.

ON/OFF/Reset button

Pressing the button normally will cause the machine to switch on or off. If the button is pressed for 3 seconds while the dryer is in EN function, the machine will switch off and the running cycle will reset.

Programme selection knob

Allows for setting the programme: turn until the indicator points towards the desired programme (see Starting and selecting a programme).

Options buttons

Allow for selecting the options available for the selected programme. The relative indicator lights turn on when the option has been selected (see Programmes and options).

START/PAUSE button and indicator light

When the green light flashes slowly, press the button to start the programme. When the cycle is under way, the indicator light remains on. To put the programme into pause mode, press the button again; the indicator light will turn orange and start flashing again.

To resume the programme from the point it was interrupted, press the button again (see Start and programme selection).

Indicator lights

The indicator lights provide important information. They indicate the following:

“Clean filter” indicator light

Before each programme, the “Clean filter” indicator light signals that it is essential to clean the filter each time before using the tumble dryer (see Care and maintenance).

“Drying phases” indicator lights

The indicator light signals that the drying phase is running. The indicator light signals that the cooling phase is running. The END indicator light signals that the programme has ended.

“Delay start” indicator light

If the ”Delay start” option has been activated (see “Programmes and options”), after the programme has started, the indicator light corresponding to the chosen delay time will start flashing:

As time passes, the remaining delay will be displayed and the corresponding indicator light will flash:

Once the set delay time ends, the flashing LED will turn off and the set programme will start.
