Installation

! 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.

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.

! 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.
