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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
