SAFETY ADVICES BEFORE USING THE DRYER /

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.
Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
•
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as
they are potentially dangerous.
If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.
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.

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

door is restricted.
Take care not to install the dryer on a deep-pile carpet.

The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue
•
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
Pay attention that the air-inlet openings are
•
unobstructed.

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