SAFETY ADVICES BEFORE USING THE DRYER / CONNECTIONS

1. Removing the packaging and check

After unpacking, make sure that the dryer is

•

undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the dryer. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer. If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to

•

delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few hours before operating. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,

•

polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. Remove the protective foil from the control panel.

•

2. Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be carried out by a

•

qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations. Electrical connection must comply with local

•

Electricity Board regulations. Voltage information, power consumption and the

•

required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate mounted at the rear of the dryer. The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for

•

personal injury or damage to property resulting from failure to adhere to these instructions. The dryer must be earthed as prescribed by law.

•

Do not use extension leads or multiple adaptors.

•

Before any maintenance on the dryer disconnect it

•

from the mains supply. Do not operate the dryer if it has been damaged

•

during transport. Contact one of our After-Sales Service technicians. Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out by

•

After-Sales Service. After installation access to the mains plug has to be

•

guaranteed, or the all-pole disconnection has to be possible with a switch.

3. Installation

Do not install your dryer where it can be subject to

•

extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation, temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C. 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. Before running the first cycle ensure the water

•

container and heat exchanger are correctly positioned. Only for water container top version: if possible use

•

a hose to drain the water directly into the domestic plumbing system. This will avoid having to empty the water container at the end of each drying cycle since the condensation water can be directly drained away. See also chapter “Drainage System”. Take care not to install the dryer on a deep-pile carpet.

•

Take care not to trap the mains cable between the

•

dryer and the wall.

Stability:

When installing the dryer always carefully level the dryer adjusting the four feet and check the correct levelling with a spirit level.

To built in the dryer

Remove the work-top and replace it with the BuiltIn kit (according to Eec Electrical Regulations), available at your dealer. As prescribed by law, only a qualified technician has to do the installation.

Stacking kit

Depending on the model, your dryer can be stacked on top of your front loading washing machine. Please contact your dealer or our After-Sales Service.

Minimum housing dimensions:

Width: 600 mm Height: 855 mm Depth: 600 mm

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1) For Great Britain only Warning - this appliance must be earthed Fuse replacement

If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).

Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.

Refit both into plug.

3. Important:

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted. Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

2) For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type.

3) Socket outlet / plug (valid for both countries)

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, please contact Whirlpool Service for further instruction. Please do not attempt to change plug yourself. This procedure needs to be carried out by a qualified Whirlpool technician in compliance with the manufactures instructions and current standard safety regulations.
