Installation

GB

! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to
refer to it when necessary. Take it with you when you
move, and, should you sell this appliance or pass it
on to another party, make sure that this booklet is
supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner
may be informed about warnings and suggestions on
how the dryer works.

! Read these instructions carefully; the following
pages contain important information on installation
and suggestions on how the appliance works.

Where to put your dryer

●

Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges,
stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can
damage the appliance.

●

If you are going to install the appliance under a
work counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space
between the top and any other objects on or
above the machine and a 15mm space between
the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is
to ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that
the back vents are not obstructed.

●

Make sure you put your dryer in an environment
that is not damp and has proper air circulation
throughout.

! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed
toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.

! The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length
and should be kept free of any possible
accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out
frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not squashed.

Permanent venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend
using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail
location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in
the wall to the left of the
dryers proposed position.

2. Keep the tube as short
and straight as possible
to prevent condensed
moisture from backing up
into the dryer.

3. Similarly, the duct in
the wall should slope
downwards towards the
outside.

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean
and relatively dry air, heating it, and then
distributing it through the clothes as they are gently
tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is
then blown out through a vent tube at the back of the
dryer.
When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate
ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the
room from appliances burning other fuels, including
open fires.

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is
used in conjunction with Mobile Venting.
The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the
dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always
best to connect the tube to a permanent
outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is
not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the
tube passing through a partly-opened window.

Window mounting

1. With a stacked dryer
the hole in the window
should ideally be made
below the vent.

2. The tube should be
kept as short as possible.

Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is
essential that areas A and B are checked periodically
to remove lint or debris.
The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus
preventing any humid air from being emitted back into
the room.

! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the
tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is
squashed or bent.
! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent
and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will
obstruct the tube or trap condensation.

2

Open window venting

1. The end of the tube
should be directed
downwards, to prevent
warm moist air from
condensing in the room
or in the dryer.

Moulded plug

Changing the plug

! The plug must not be used
without the fuse cover in place.
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.

Installation Description

! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and
that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards
the air intake duct.
! The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum
performance.
! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents
are not obstructed or blocked.

! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.
! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is

used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that
burn gas or other fuels.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug
into the the electrical socket:

●

The socket must be grounded.

●

The socket must be able to sustain the machines
maximum power, which is indicated on the rating
label (see Dryer Description).

●

Power voltage must be within the values indicated
on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

●

The socket must be compatible with the dryers
plug. Should this not be the case, replace the
plug or the socket.

The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance
with the following:
GREEN / YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
If a replacement plug is to be fitted, the appropriate
wire must be connected to the correct terminal, as
follows:

Green and Yellow
(Earth) wire to terminal
marked ‘E’, symbol ,
or coloured green and
yellow.

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

Cord clamp

13A ASTA approved
fuse to BS1362.

Brown (Live) wire to
terminal 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 supply cord should be checked periodically
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this
dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians (see
Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at
an extra charge by authorised dealers.

Care Troubleshooting Service

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if
the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it
is exposed to rain or storms.

! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug
must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords.

! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

! The power cord supplied is fitted with a BS1363

plug and a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If you need to
replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp
(13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362.

! 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 using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you
use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any
dust that could have accumulated during transport.
