Installation and Operating Manual
LOCATING AND FIXING THE CABINET
The appliance should not be located in a
position such that any doorways or safety exits
are impeded with the cabinet door open and
the hanging rails extended.
The drying cabinet is only designed for
operation indoors in a dry environment at a
temperature above freezing point.
The unit should not be installed in areas where
high pressure water cleaning is carried out.
The drying cabinet can be conveniently
installed above a front loading washing
machine, tumble dryer or worktop subject to
the ceiling height in the room. A clearance of
5mm. is recommended when installing above a
washing machine or tumble dryer to ensure
that the cabinet is insulated from any vibrations
that may occur when these machines are in
operation. This will also ensure that the
machines can be removed should any service
or repair work be necessary.
The measurement from the underside of the
cabinet to the lower edge of the support
bracket is 1450mm. Determine the position of
the cabinet and ensure that the support bracket
(1) is level and securely fixed to the wall.
Assistance is required to lift the cabinet onto
the bracket. With the cabinet suspended on
the wall it is now possible to open the door and
drill through the four locations (2) to fix the
cabinet to the wall avoiding any electrical,
water or other service pipes or cabling. Drill
four 8mm holes through the rear panel into the
wall and insert the wall plugs.
With the spacers and washers supplied, screw
the cabinet back to the wall.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
EXHAUST CONNECTION
The exhaust ducting should not be connected
into an existing chimney, boiler flue or tumble
dryer system.
The cabinet can be connected to an exhaust
duct in two ways:
This method is only suitable for buildings that
have an existing mechanical ventilation system, or where the room has a dedicated extraction fan with a capacity of 43m
3
/ hour. In
both cases the ducting must terminate on an
outside wall.
Fit the spigot to the top of the cabinet using
the 2 small Torx screws. Fit the white plastic
ventilation adaptor over the existing wall or
ceiling mounted grille (fixing screws for this
‘tripod’ type fitting are not supplied), and then
connect to the cabinet using the flexible hose.
Note: The exhaust ducting fittings supplied are
standard 100mm diameter, and any additional
hose or fittings required are available from
most builders merchants and hardware stores.
1. CONNECTION TO AN EXISTING SYSTEM 2. DIRECT CONNECTION TO OUTSIDE WALL
Fit the plastic spigot to the outlet on top of the
cabinet. Core cut a 100mm. diameter hole in
the outside wall, or alternatively cut a hole in a
fixed pane of window glass. Fit an appropriate
terminal grille with a fixed open louvre, preferable one with an integral insect mesh screen.
Notes:
Standard tumble dryer back draught shutters
are not suitable.
The maximum effective length of ducting to
outside is 3m.
Rigid metal and plastic pipe can also be used
for the exhaust ducting.
Ensure that the ducting and terminal grille are
cleaned on an annual basis.
1 Ventilation adaptor (for connection to an existing
mechanical ducting system only)
2 Flexible plastic hose
3 Spigot adaptor to cabinet
The air intake grille must not be
covered. Do not use the top of
the cabinet as a storage shelf.
The exhaust ducting for the cabinet can be directed through the top panel or through the left or
right hand side panels. Decide which option best suits the installation and if it is to go through a
side panel then the partially stamped blanking plate should be removed and the spigot attatched

Hang long clothing to the outer
walls of the cabinet with shorter
items to the centre.
Hang gloves, scarves, socks
and small items on the hanging
bars fixed to the inside door
panel.
Do not overload the drying cabi-
net. The washing will become
creased and dry unevenly.
Leave some space between
items, especially through the
centre of the cabinet for improved drying efficiency.
Separate dark and white loads
to avoid transferring colours.
Avoid drying thick clothes at the
same time as lighter articles as
they hold more moisture and
will take longer to dry.
Delicate and knitted garments
should be laid flat on the hanging shelves to avoid creases.

OPERATING CONTROL PANEL
The cabinet is designed with two control switches for ease of use.
The left hand switch controls heat settings. The ‘0’ position circulates
ambient temperature air only. Rotating the switch position in a clockwise movement increases the heat input up to a maximum 1.5 kW.
The optimum setting is with the control set to the start of the double
line sector on the scale for lower energy consumption.
The right hand switch controls the drying time up to a maximum of 4
hours.
