3 Installation

Before the calling the nearest Authorised

Service for the installation of the dryer, en-

sure that electrical installation and water

drain is appropriate referring to the user’s

manual. (See 3.4 Connecting to the drain

and 3.6 Electrical connection) If they are

not suitable, contact a qualied electrician

and technician to make necessary arrange-

ments.

Preparation of the dryer's location

as well as the electrical and

waste water installations is under

customer's responsibility.

Prior to installation, visually check

if the dryer has any defects on it. If

the drier is damaged, do not have it

installed. Damaged products cause

risks for your safety.

3.1 Appropriate installation

location

• Install the dryer on a stable and level

surface.

• Dryer s heavy. Do not move t by

yourself.

• Operate your dryer n a well ventlated,

dust-free envronment.

• The gap between the dryer and the

surface should not be reduced by the

materals such as carpet, wood and tape.

• Do not cover the ventlaton grlls of the

dryer.

• There must not be a lockable, sldng or

hnged door that may block the openng

of the loadng door n the place where

your dryer s to be nstalled.

• Once the dryer s nstalled, t should stay

at the same place where ts connectons

have been made. When nstallng the

dryer, make sure that ts rear wall does

not touch anywhere (tap, socket, etc.).

• Place the dryer at least 1 cm away from

the edges of other furnture.

• Your dryer can be operated at

temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.

If the operatng condtons fall outsde

of ths range, operaton of the dryer

wll be adversely affected and t can get

damaged.

• The rear surface of the tumble dryer shall

be placed aganst a wall.

Do not place the dryer on the

power cable.

3.2 Removing the

transportation safety

assembly

Remove the transportation safety

assembly before using the dryer

for the first time.

• Open the loadng door.

• There s a nylon bag nsde the drum that

contans a pece of styrofoam. Hold t

from ts secton marked wth XX XX.

• Pull the nylon towards yourself and

remove the transportaton safety

assembly.

Check that no part of the

transportation safety assembly

remains inside the drum.

3.3 Under counter installation

• The product should never be operated

without the top trim.

• Leave at least 3 cm of space between the

side and rear walls of the product and

the walls of the counter/cupboard when

installing your product under a counter or

in a cupboard.

3.4 Connecting to the drain

In products equipped with condenser unit,

water accumulates in the water tank during

the drying cycle. You should drain accumu-

lated water after each drying cycle.

You can directly drain accumulated water

through the water drain hose supplied with

the product instead of periodically draining

the water collected in the water tank.

Dryer / User Manual

15 / EN

Connecting the water drain hose

1-2 Pull hose at the behind of the dryer by

hand in order to disconnect it from where it

is connected. Do not use any tools to remove

the hose.

3. Connect one end of the drain hose

supplied with the dryer to the connection

point from where you removed the hose of

the product in previous step.

4. Connect the other end of the drain hose

directly to the wastewater drain or to the

washbasin.

3 4

Hose connection should be made

in a safe manner. Your house will

be flooded if the hose comes

out of its housing during water

discharge.

Water drain hose should be

attached to a height of maximum

80 cm.

Make sure that the water drain

hose is not stepped on and it is

not folded between the drain and

the machine.

3.5 Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the dryer operates

more silently and vibration-free, it must

stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance

the machine by adjusting the feet.

Turn the feet to left or right until the dryer

stands level and rmly.

Never unscrew the adjustable

feet from their housings.

16 / EN

Dryer / User Manual

Make sure that you have an earthed power

outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum).

4.1 Attention!

When installed, the socket must be reachable

after installation, or a separate switch (which

can disconnect the two poles) must be used

in the installation. Check for suitability.For a

permanent connection, a master switch with

at least 3mm contact clearance and minimum

13 A rating must be used.

4.2 Electrical requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall sock-

et make sure that the voltage and the fre-

quency shown in the rating label corresponds

to your electricity supply.

We recommend that this appliance be con-

nected to the mains supply via a suitable

switched and fused socket in a readily acces-

sible position. Should the mains lead of the

appliance become damaged or need replac-

ing at any time, it must be replaced by a spe-

cial purpose made mains lead which can only

be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.

Warning

This appliance must be earthed

If the tted moulded plug is not suitable for

your socket, then the plug should be cut o

and an appropriate plug tted.

The moulded plug on this appliance incorpo-

rates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be

replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of

the same rating must be used. Do not forget

to ret the fuse cover. In the event of losing

the fuse cover, the plug must not be used un-

til a replacement fuse cover has been tted.

Colour of the replacement fuse cover must

be the same colour as that visible on the pin

face of the plug. Fuse covers are available

from any good electrical store.

In order to avoid hazards, damaged supply

cord should be replaced by the manufacturer,

its service agent or similarly qualied people.

Built-under installation

This appliance can be installed under a work-

top.

Do not operate without the top

cover tted. Risk of injury.

Important

4.3 Fitting a different plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead

of this appliance may not correspond with

the coloured markings identifying the termi-

nals on your plug, proceed as follows:

1 Connect the green - yellow or green (earth)

wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or

with the symbol or coloured green and yel-

low or green.

2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the ter-

minal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.

3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the termi-

nal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must

be tted either in the plug or adaptor or in

the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a quali-

ed electrician.

4.4 Washer/dryer combination

Do not stack washing machine on top of the

tumble dryer. This would damage both appli-

ances and guarantees would become void.

It is also unsafe to stack an appliance on top

of another without using a suitable and ap-

proved stacking kit obtained from the manu-

facturer of the appliances.

• A special stacking kit is required as an op-

tional extra please contact customer service.
